I was never the type to like attention so when I performed for my first time I was surprised how easily I enjoyed the attention I was receiving. My band Hello Harmony was on the rise since last year. The other day we got a call requesting we go on the 2012 Vans Warped Tour. To say I was excited was an understatement. We had two days left to prepare and I was feeling the pressure.

I walked into my apartment that I shared with my best friend Bridget.

She called out “Lace, is that you?”

I yelled back “Yeah it’s me.”

I slipped off my shoes making my way into our living room. I looked at Bridget seeing her wrapped up in blankets watching TV.

I chuckled “Comfy?”

She smiled “Yes. I was cold. Jay called.”

I sighed “What now?”

She shrugged “You know Jay. He has to bug you some more.”

Jay used to be my boyfriend. When we first started a band called Rejects We Are; we were together. He was the drummer in the band. It wasn’t until a year later that I realized how hard it was to date someone in the band. He was driving me crazy and I couldn’t handle being in a relationship with him anymore. We decided to be friends for the sake of the band. He used to always try to come up with a reason to call me or talk to me. He always claimed it was band stuff but normally it was little stuff that doesn’t make sense. When I left the band he used to call almost every day begging me to come back. A little over two years after that I found a new band. Occasionally he calls trying to convince me to rejoin the band.

I sighed “I rather not deal with his begging again.”
