Chasing Summer [Chasing Series Book 1]

Kingdom Come

(Author's Note : The song is placed behind the picture)
Maisie's P.O.V

It's been a week since our last practice because of busy work schedules, and we've all gathered back in the twins' garage slash rehearsal room finally. Nicola's been getting a bit stressed with the drum rhythm for the song we want to cover, so we are all trying to make her feel better.

"C'mon Nic, you're doing great!" Christine encourages, "just remember the time signature and count in your head. You've gotten it a couple of times with you not even realizing it!" She continues.

Nicola releases a giant sigh.

"You're right, you're right. I'm just over thinking everything," she replies.

Letting the rest of us breath out a sigh of relief. None of us wanted any sort of problem, especially since we wanted to film the video tomorrow morning and have it posted by five.

"Okay everyone, I think we should run through one more time, and then we can break and talk some stuff. Sound good?" Nic asks, and we all nod.

"A, one, two, a one, two, three, four..."

Sam and I start strumming our guitars, and Christine plucks at her acoustic bass, harmonizing the notes together. Nicola lightly begins to beat on the front of the cajón, while Sam and I begin to sing the first verse after several measures of the intro.

Run, run, run away

Buy yourself another day

A cold wind's whispering secrets in your ear

So low, only you can hear

Mhmm

Sam begins a small solo for the next verse while I come in and out, with our differing parts colliding on and off, creating a mesmerizing duet.

Run, run, run and hide

Somewhere no one else can find

Tall trees bend and lean pointing where to go

Where you will still be all alone

Mhmm

We finish the song, the Muno parents walk in the room clapping, putting smiles on all of our faces.

"I think that's the best I've ever heard you guys!" Mrs. M squeals, "It sounded absolutely beautiful." We thank her and laugh seeing how excited she got.

"Well, we're headed out for the store to pick up some food, anything you want in particular?" Mr. M asks.

"I think we're all good Pop," Sam replies,

"Alright, if you need anything, just give us a call," and they leave the room.

"Guys!! That was amazing!" I say turning to them.

"I can't believe how good we sounded. This cover will definitely get us the views we want," I continue as I make my way to the small couch and collapse onto it. The rest of everybody slowly converge to where I'm sitting, taking a well deserved break.

"Speaking of views," Nicola begins, making everyone groan knowing she would say something that could ruin our good vibes.

"Oh c'mon, it's not even bad!" She says, trying to defend herself.

"Uh-huh, you say that every time," Christine says, rolling her eyes.

"I'm actually serious this time. I wanted to talk about wardrobe for tomorrow," she replies, sticking out her tongue to Chris for her comment.

"I think we should look presentable, and not our usual sweats or leggings like our other videos. We all need to do wear something that shows us off. What we would want people to see as our style," Nicola continues. Everyone nodding in a consensus.

"Finally, I can go wild on everyone's make-up!" Samantha states, making all of us become anxious for filming.
