A Year With R5

The competition of a life time

Lucy's POV

I was sitting in the living room with Callie and Rose watching an interview with my favourite band know as R5. They were a family band consisting of Rocky Lynch, Ross Lynch, Rydel Lynch and Riker Lynch (the eldest and my favourite member) and their family friend Ellington Ratliff. The interviewer then said "So your fans are known as the R5Family and you have something to tell them I believe" "Yeah" they all say in unison. Ross looks straight at the camera and says "How would you like to spend not just a weekend or a month but a whole year with us?" "If you want to then send us a video of yourself telling us why you should get this once in a life time oportunity" Rydel continues, "Enteries must be submitted by December 2nd and applicants must be at least eighteen and the winner will be contacted on December 20th" Ratliff follows up, "the video must contain your name, birthday, where you live and some form of talent that you think will help your chances and the winner will fly out to LA to meet up with us on January 1st" Riker says. "Good luck and remember stay sexy" Rocky concludes. My friends then turn off the TV. "Hey I was still watching that!" I whine "Lucy, you have got to enter. I mean how cool would it be to say to people that you spent a year with the new teen 'it' band?" Rose gushes. "Yeah... I want to do it. But what would my talent be?" I ask unsurely. "Wake up girl! You sing and play the guitar. Use that as your talent" Callie butts in. "But I can't play that well!" "What about 'Here Comes Forever'? You play that well" they say in unison. I think about what they had said. "Alright then. We better get filming" I say before we race to my bedroom.

Decmber 2nd 

Riker's POV

Today is the deadline for our competition. So far we have had some really good videos sent in. Who knew that the fans were so creative? I was in the living room with Rocky, Ross and Ell while Rydel was in her room still going through some of the entries we got yesterday and today. I look away from the TV when I hear the door open. It was Rydel. "What's up?" I ask "I need to show you this video" she says as we all follow her to her bedroom. She clicks play and we watch as a girl plays and sings 'Here Comes Forever'. Really well I may add. After the song she tells us her name, age, birthday and everything else we needed to know. "Well I hope you guys liked this video and I hope to hear from you on... ummm... Crap I've forgotten the date" "20th December" some voices say. "Yeah thats it. Okay we have to cut that last bit" "no we don't" "Why?" "Because it will show them that awesome personality you have" "I swear this video is going to be the end of our friendship" she says before the tape stops. "What do you guys think?" "I think... I think we've found our winner" Ross says.

December 20th

Lucy's POV

Well... I guess that if I haven't hear anything now then they must not have chose me...  I think as I absentmindedly strum my guitar. Suddenly my laptop starts to beep. I opened it and see that it was my Skype telling me that I had an incoming call from an unknown user. I clicked the anser button and my screen fills with the image of R5. My jaw hits the floor. "Is this Lucy Taylor we have the pleasure of speaking to?" Asks Riker. "Dude, don't be so formal" Ross hisses. "Ummm.... Errrrr... Yes-yes this is her" I say once I can form a full sentence. "We just wanted to say that we saw your audition tape" Rocky says. "Oh" I reply. "Listen there is no easy way to say this but... Looks like you need to get a flight." Rydel says "What do you mean?" "What Rydel means is well... Congratulations you Lucy Taylor are going to spend 2014 with us!" Riker exclaims. Again my jaw hits the floor. "Are-are you serious!?" I exlcaim. "Yeah we are!" they answer back. 

Oh My God. I am going to live with R5!
