All I've Ever Wanted and More

15. Fame Here We Come

When the bell rang to dismiss me from school, I jumped into my car and drove home. And then I ran to my front door like a little girl.

The funniest thing, is that I dropped my keys while unlocking the door. Silly me. I eventually opened the door to see Ariana sitting in the living room. When she heard I had opened the door, she jolted her head around to see me walk through.

She stood up and came to me with her phone in hand. "I can't wait any longer!" She said looking at the phone and then back up to me. I agreed, the nervousness and jitters I had in my stomach right now was overwhelming. "Yes lets call please!" I begged and we sat down in the living room.

It was silent until we could hear the buttons of the phone being dialed after I took the card out of my pocket. A voice picked up after a few rings and a man spoke.

"Hello?"

I cleared my throat. "Yes, hello. This is Hunter and Ariana. You watched us perform in L.A."

"Oh yes! I told you to call me right?" He asked.

"Yeah, you did." Ariana said.

"Well in that case, let me tell you your news..." Tom said trailing off.

It was an uneasy silence for a few moments, but then he spoke again. For a second I thought he could have hung up on us.

"In my perspective, you guys are the next big hit. I can see you going far and bringing in the new generation that is going to crave you! Stop by my office tomorrow and we can start right away making the newest hit. I will text you the details, see you then!"

Both of us said our goodbyes before hanging up the phone.

Our mouths dropped so far I swear it hit the floor again. I slowly put the phone on the coffee table. Looking over at Ariana, she had her hands over her mouth and made noises like she was trying to laugh but it wouldn't come out. She jumped up on me and knocked me down onto the couch. Ariana was screaming now and I had the biggest grin spread across my face.

I kissed her gently, taking advantage of the position we were in, and then we slowly sat up. "I can't believe this is actually happening. Pinch me if this is a dream!" I said sarcastically.

I was in shock still, dreams really do come true! After Ariana and I had our little celebration, I immediately called Bella and poured out the news to her. She also screamed in excitement and I'm glad I had someone to share this news with other than Ariana.

Oh yeah, I totally forgot about Tyler. So when I had the chance, I called him up and he was excited too but not as excited as I wish he had been.

That night I took Ariana out to a fancy dinner and we talked all night about everything and nothing. It was nice to have a sit down conversation with her, and enjoying our meal.

I had a feeling after today we were going to be really busy and this was going to be the last calm thing we can do before it. We had fun and it was nice spending time with Ariana.

"I'm happy for you man!" Tyler said giving me a manly hug and a handshake to go with it. I was really happy today. We were on our way to music theory after the longest class of guitar.

Later Ariana and I are going to Tom's office and figuring out how to start our road to fame. Coming here, all of this was never pictured, but I can't even begin to explain how much living here changed my life for the best and I wouldn't trade it for the world.

During music theory Ariana and I exchanged a few glances when she turned around but we didn't really talk. Maybe she was scared for today as well.

I tried paying as much attention as possible in class because if I was going big, I wanted to know as much as possible so I don't go into the business dumbfounded.

"Who wants to walk in first?" I asked as Ariana and I looked up at the tall glass like building. It even looked liked a successful company and pretty intimidating.

Ariana grabbed my hand, took a deep breath and we headed for the front door and into the lobby. "Hey, excuse me? We're looking for..." I started to say but trailed off when I answered my own question.

"Oh hey guys! Ariana and Hunter is it?" Tom said looking up from his clipboard filled with papers. He must have been walking through the lobby when we came in.

"Yeah that's us." I said and he shook both of our hands. "If you would follow me, please." We followed him through the long halls as people rushed past us. Every door we went past I was hoping was his door so that we could sit down and start. But then when he pushed the up button for the elevator, I sighed and we went in until we went up a few floors.

"Here we are." Tom said welcoming us into his nice warm office. The door opened up to reveal a wall that was all window and a desk in front of it. You could see most of California and it was so beautiful. "Have a seat." He requested and we both sat simultaneously.

"First what we need to do is come up with a hit single to get the ball rolling." Tom said shuffling through his messy desk.

For a room so neat, his desk was not. "We can do that." Ariana nodded trying to figure out what he was doing. Then Tom found what he obviously wanted when he pulled out a few pieces of paper and looked at them.

"No that won't be necessary. I had people already write one. You guys will be singing this as soon as possible."

He handed us the sheets that were in his hand and we looked them over. Ariana and I both looked at each other and then back to him. "Um okay when would you like to start?" I asked and he looked up. "Right now." Tom held a button that made a green light glow on the phone. He lowered his head and spoke into the machine. "Send Kyle up here please." Tom said politely and what was probably the secretary answered. "He's on his way sir."

"He should be here soon." Tom said not paying anymore attention to us. Then I think in a split second that guy Kyle came through the door and motioned his hands to follow him, so we did. We all walked down a few doors until we came across a wooden door that had a sign saying "Recording Studio 3".

Kyle sat down outside of the booth and at a table with billions of buttons. I have never been in one of these things before so I had no idea what to expect or what anything was.

He pointed to the door leading to the booth where we would record and I walked in with Ariana behind me. After that it was all pretty simple, we stood there and read over the song a few times.

We recorded them and listened to them afterwards but it never meant anything. I think by tomorrow we will have everything all finished and cleaned up since we will be here for hours tomorrow.

"Alright good run guys, I can see you really going somewhere. Good luck, I'll see you tomorrow." Kyle said shutting off all of the buttons and closing the door behind us. We said our goodbyes and we were on our way.

"How do you think it went?" I asked as we walked out of the busy building. She looked up at me, "I love it and I can't wait to actually get started!" I smiled and we headed home.

Today was a good day and it is still so unreal that this is all happening. I'm just happy someone thinks I'm a good singer.

A/N: How's the story? It would mean a lot if you guys followed me on here please and vote! School has started so updating may not be as fast as I wish it would be. Have a great week!
