Chapter 8: The Offer

Chapter 8
-

A few weeks passed and the band had played in various places, they just got done with a show and we're getting on the bus. I was about to climb up the steps when I heard a voice call out,
"Erin!" I looked over to see 2 guys and a girl looking at me. I looked over in confusion because I didn't think I knew them. I slowly walked over to them,
"Hi, do I know you?" I ask with a smile, they laughed and the girl who must have been the one who called my name said,
"We went to school together. I'm Star Thompson." She stuck out her hand and I shook it, slowly remembering middle school when I met her. I take a look at her and realize she's right. Her hair is the same, shoulder length and dyed red with streaks of her natural black. She is a lot thinner than in middle school and also taller. Star is wearing ripped up skinny jeans with a studded belt and a white crop top with the words 'Raised By The Dead'. She has on combat boots as well as a nose and lip piercing.
"You are the girl who wouldn't stop staring at me in middle school!" I exclaim and she laughs,
"Yeah, that was me. Also, this is Mike and Jake." Star gestures to the 2 guys. I shake their hands and see that they have a similar style to each other. They are both wearing black tank tops and Mike is wearing white skinny jeans with brown leather boots. Jake is wearing striped pants with suspenders hanging off of them. Mike has long black hair that goes to his lower back. Jake has blonde short hair that's cut short and in a style where half of it is shaved and the other half not. They both have leather jackets on also.
"Erin! You coming girl?" I hear Christian calling from the bus. I turn around and yell back to him,
"Yeah I'll be there in a minute!" He nods and I turn back to the 3 people, "So what brings you here?" I ask and Star answers,
"Well I heard you playing your guitar backstage before the Second Hand Warriors went on stage tonight and darn girl, your really good!" I blush a little and nod,
"Thanks, I've been trying to learn quickly."
"So we were wondering if you would like to join our band?" I stared at them in shock, they thought I was that good?!?
"Well I'll definitely think about it, what are you guys called?"
"Shattered Bloodline." They all reply at once and I smile, this was awesome!
"I'll think about!" I exclaim, they nod.
"Here I'll give you my number." Star says and we all exchange contact information. I was turning around to leave when Star mentioned one more thing,
"I checked and we are on the same tour schedule as the Second Hand Warriors so we'll see you later probably. Oh! Also check with your brother, Logan. He's a really good singer and we wouldn't mind having him as well. I nod and say my thanks as I run back to the bus. I get on just as it starts to roll away, I walk into the main room and see everyone laughing and eating some kind of take out food. I sit down next to Logan as he hands me a burger and a rootbeer. I take the food gladly and gobble it down.
"So Erin, what did they want back there?" Christian asks as I finish and all eyes go to me. I blush from the attention but say happily,
"I know the girl from middle school and they asked me to join their band on guitar. Oh and they asked me to ask Logan to for vocals."
"Oh my gosh thats awesome guys!" Crim says from the other couch where she was sitting with Ash.
"What's the band's name?" Ash asks, clearly interested.
"Shattered Bloodline." I say and they all gape at me, "What?" I ask and they all start smiling and Christian says,
"They are a kick a** band let me tell you that. Shattered Bloodline are a metal and freakin awesome band with an amazing message." I smile and sigh in content, looking forward to calling Star later.
"Well I think you 2 have some thinking to do." Ash smirks and I roll my eyes, getting up.
"I'm gonna go to bed." I say while walking out of the room. I grab my PJs and change in the bathroom, when I came out I saw Logan waiting for me.
"Hey, what were you thinking about the band offer?" He asks and I smile,
"I think I'm gonna take it, what about you?"
"I'm still thinking, do you know if they perform on tour?"
"Yeah, they have the same tour schedule as us." He nods and replies,
"I'll check them out and see when they play." I nod and we head off to our separate rooms. This was going to be awesome.

The next time the bus stopped we were in Boston Massachusetts, the band went to soundcheck and Logan and I were free to go about wherever. I had called Star and told her we would meet them somewhere within the stage areas. We quickly looked on the big board that had the performing times with bands and saw that Shattered Bloodline was going to perform in five minutes. We rushed over to the stage just in time to see them coming out.
"How are you Boston?!" Star shouts as she has the mic to sing, there was cheering and I whistled. "Well today we're going to play a few songs and uh...yeah! This is All Your Words!" The song starts and soon they played about 2 more when suddenly there is a water bottle thrown onto the stage and it hits Star in the back. She turns around and looks to where it was thrown from, she walks to the edge of the stage and stares at the person who had thrown it.
"Did you want something?" She asks into the mic and I saw the guy who had thrown the bottle laugh. "No I'm serious. If you wanted something don't be shy, come the frick up here." He stops laughing and I see him roll his eyes.
"If you're going to stop my show I want you to show me why you think you're good enough to do that." The crowd starts chanting and I see him just cross his arms over his chest and try to look cool.
"Oh don't think I care how cool you look, cause I don't and you know why? I'm not cool!" She shouts and walks over to where the drumset is where Jake was sitting while twirling his drumsticks. He handed her the bottle that was thrown and she unscrews the cap, walking back over to the edge of the stage.
"You wanna ruin our show I'm gonna ruin your day hater. This place isn't for your 'cool' it's a place for the freakin weirdos who don't have an easy time anywhere but in a crowd and surrounded by people who love the same things as they do. Go back to high school and be a jock there." She says as she squirts the water on him and throws the bottle in his face. Star walks away from him and says to the entire crowd,
"Sorry about that, I just hate that you guys paid for a show and it's all ruined by some hater. This is Black Paint!" They play the rest of their set list and then walk off stage. Me and Logan look at each other and then smile, we run to the side of the stage and see Star, Mike, and Jake getting a drink of water and talking.
"Hey." I say as I walk up behind them.
"Hey!" They all say at once, turning around.
"So both of us have thought about the offer and..." I say, looking to Logan,
"We are so totally in."
"Thats awesome!" Star says as we all walk off and start to talk details.
