LUKE'S POV:
We finally made it back to the arena, only to be greeted by a furious Julie. I swear, there was smoke coming out of her ears.
"WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN?!" She screamed.
"Sorry, Julie we got lost and-" Ashton tried, with no avail.
"SOUNDCHECK WAS SUPPOSED TO START 40 MINUTES AGO!"
I cringed when I saw the look on the girls' faces, they looked pretty shocked and Amory looked absolutely petrified.
"Look, Julie," I said. "Calm down, we're sorry, okay?"
She glowered at me from behind her glasses. "Fine. Hurry up, you idiots."
We followed her backstage and then watched as the Panacea girls got ready for soundcheck. Amory was looking around the room desperately, like she was trying to find something.
"Are you alright?" I asked her cautiously.
She nodded, whispering, "yeah, just n-nervous."
"Hey, you'll be fine," I said, beaming at her encouragingly. "Soundcheck gets you a bit used to it, I promise."
She nodded, smiling at me and then following her bandmates onto the stage. We went to sit in the mosh-pit which seemed weird as it was empty. The girls plugged their instruments into the amps, or banged a few drums in Bree's case and then checked that all their microphones were working.
"Okay, we're just going to run 'Lonely Girl' and 'Home,' okay girls?" Julie asked into a microphone.
They nodded and I could see Amory's hands shaking slightly. Why was she worried? It was just us.
Bree started the song off with a solid drum beat, then Riley played a few chords as Violette began to play her bass.
"Lonely girl, you lost the only thing you loved," Amory sung and all traces of nervousness seemed to disappear when she sang.
It was as if they were all in their own worlds and we weren't even here. They sounded amazing, I knew they were going to kill it.
"I won't be the one to keep you safe, and I won't be the one to stay the same," Amory sang.
As the song went on, all I could think was, 'after tonight Panacea is going to blow up.' Seriously, I was surprised they hadn't been discovered yet. They were so good.
The song ended and we all clapped. The girls grinned down at us from the stage as Amory swapped her electric guitar for an acoustic one. I was confused at first because they seemed a lot more punk rock than us. But then Amory started singing and I forgot about everything.
