My Greatest Mistake

Record Deal

Previously:

As soon as I say that Nate comes and gives me a huge hug and asks me if I want to sing with him. We all grab an instrument Nate on piano, Kevin on guitar and me with a mic and the tambourine and we start singing the song Nate was which he evidently wrote and named "A Little Bit Longer" after we finish an older man walks up and hands me his card which says he's a music producer for Hollywood records. He says he thinks we could really go far and invites us to cut a demo at the studio. We decided to think about it. Yeah thinking about it alright. I'm certain we all agree we want this, we're hoping it will bring us closer as brothers.

-----------------------------------------

We are all sitting around this huge conference table Nate in between Kevin and I. He keeps bouncing his leg which is starting to drive me crazy, Like really crazy! The record producers are sitting across from us telling us the offer and I'm not really listening I keep glancing at Nate and Kevin who seem to be listening intently. Suddenly it gets silent and all eyes are on me asking what I think. Obviously I wasn't listening which Nate has figured out so he subtly slides a paper in front of me and when I look down it has a huge number and says 5 yr. contract. The owner mike is still looking at me an now he's tapping his fingers causing me to look at him. He asks me if I'm in as well and I look at my brothers who nod yes. So I look back at him and say yes. We sign the contracts and shake their hands. Mike says we need to celebrate so he tells us he's throwing a welcome to the label party in two days and we need to have at least four songs to perform by then.

We shake their hands again and thank them for everything. We head home and while we are in the car Nate asks if I'm ok. I say I am and he asks if when we get home we can work on the songs. We of course agree. We arrive home and head straight for the music room and Nate says he already has a song in the making he plays what he has for us and between the three of us we finish it and name it year 3000. It's a very upbeat song. We spend the rest of the day and the next writing the other three which are called one day at a time, dear god, and 6 minutes. After we finish its almost 10 pm so we all go to bed because tomorrow around noon is the party and we want to be well rested and prepared.

The next day around 10 am we head to the venue the party is being held at for sound check and we only sing a little bit longer as we want the other songs to be a surprise. After sound check we have a little over a half an hour to just relax and hang out. When the party starts we are all standing on stage getting our equipment in order when mike tells us we have two minutes. So we all get together and do are pre-show circle with our band and then it's time for us to perform after we finish all our songs everyone is clapping and cheering and mike announces us as his new artists. Everyone is ecstatic and for the rest of the party everyone wants our autographs and pictures. It was a dream come true. Lets just hope this dream will help us all heal our relationships with one another and make us stronger as brothers. One things for sure Nate and I are already getting along much better. How long will it last? I may not know but I know no matter what I will always be here for him no matter where this life takes us.

I hope you all enjoyed this update of this story I may only write a couple more chapters not sure yet but I can promise they will wrap the story up. Enjoy today people and BE SAFE!
