The Runaways

Chapter #1 Lets Join A Band

Alex was woken by her phone ringing. It was her best friend, Michael.

"Ugh. It's too early.."

"Alex...it's 10:00 AM"

"Yeah. Too early"

"You're an idiot. Anyways. I have great news for you!"

"You won the lottery?"

"Ha ha very funny. No. I got you signed up for auditions."

"For what?"

"A band."

"What band?"

"The Runaways..."

"Oh my god, really?!?!"

"Get dressed. It starts in an hour."

Alex hung up and rushed to the bathroom. The Runaways were an up and coming band that she fell in love with. It was also the band Michael was part of but the other members didn't want a girl in the band, until today at least.

Alex brushed her scarlet hair and did her usual make up routine. She picked out a nirvana crop top, her ripped red flannel and her black high waisted shorts, paired with her usual all black converse. She grabbed her grey beanie and ran out the door.

Michael was already there, waiting outside of his car. Alex climbed in and anxiously tapped her foot.

"Alex, calm down."

"I thought they always hated me?"

"Nah. Just angry cause I hang out with you more than them.

"That doesn't make me feel better."

"Oops. Were here by the way"

Alex opened the car door and looked up at the large beige house.

"Where are we exactly?"

"Ashton's house."

"Why?"

"We practice in his garage.."

"Ground breaking."

"Shut up and walk"

Michael led her into the garage where three tall boys stood. One was very tall and blonde and blue eyed. The one next to him was shorter and had curly honey hair with hazel eyes. The third was olive skinned, raven haired and brown eyed. They all seemed to be sizing her up.

"This her?" The shortest one spoke.

Michael nodded.

"Her names Alex. Hell of a singer and guitarist."

The tallest mumbled something under his breath.

Alex glanced at them again. The blonde seemed a little bratty, the shortest one was giving off this sort of grandpa feel and the raven haired boy looked confused.

"Uh...hi.." Alex waved awkwardly at them.

"Sup. I'm Luke." Luke looked like the kind of boy you'd see in a teen drama series where freshman somehow looked 25.

"I'm Calum." Calum looked like he should have actually been born as a floppy eared puppy.

"And I'm Ashton." Although he was the shortest, Ashton had the larger muscles and seemed sort of scary. Like a strict father.

Michael handed Alex his guitar and pick.

"Show 'em what you got."

"Um...I don't know what song to play.."

"Play your favorite." Luke said as he sat down on a stool behind a drum set.

Alex gulped and tuned the guitar. She decided she was going to play The Irony Of Choking On A Lifesaver by All Time Low.

She walked to the microphone and started playing and singing.

"Stop fucking around with my emotions. I like you better when your numb..." Alex completely blocked out the fact that there were three strange boys judging her and sang her heart out. She even added a few jumps in as well.

She didn't realize it but the boys had joined her. Mike and Luke on guitar, Calum on bass, and Ashton on drums.

When the song ended the boys cheered.

"That was great!"

Alex nearly melted.

"Really? I never really thought I was any good.."

Luke patted her on the shoulder.

"You're amazing. You're in."

"Really?!?"

All four of them chimed in:
"Hell yeah!"

Alex grinned from ear to ear. She had never been happier.
