I was reading through my notes that I had taken in class when my phone went off. I checked the screen to see who was calling. It was Awsten and I picked it up.
"Criss. We need your help." Awsten whined loudly.
"What's up?" I questioned.
"Come over."
***
Now, here I was at their studio kind of room in the house, waiting for them to tell why they wanted me here. It had been only a week since the last time I was here.
"We all literally kicked each other out of the band and now there's no one left." Otto stated.
"Now you're gonna be the jury and help us decide things. " Awsten explained.
"What things?"
"As you can imagine we're working on demos and we wrote this song with different versions of outros. " Geoff kept on.
"You're gonna help us decide." Otto finished it. "I'd tell my girlfriend to come over but she's working right now so." He sent me an annoying look.
"Thanks Otto, knowing that I'm the second option made me feel whole lotta better." I smiled at him uneasily.
"Okay, back to the work. " Awsten warned. Workaholic much? Yeah.
"Go on." I said crossing my arms over my chest, waiting for them to start.
First option was how Awsten wanted, which was based on vocals. Through the end he sang "Oh"s in a catchy tone and the instruments faded out slowly as he kept singing before the song ended.
Second option was Geoff's and to no one's surprise, this one was based on the guitar. Through the end this time he played a solo as the other instruments ended. The solo was great, it really was but I felt like it didn't completed the concept of this catchy pop punk song.
The third was my favorite to be honest. Otto did a drum solo this time and it repeated the actual rhythm of the song but it was with more catchiness added to it. And I think this one stood out the best.
"So what do you think Criss?" Awsten asked, I felt all the attention on me. They were counting on my word, that was sweet as hell.
"I like the third best." I stated. Otto threw a fist to the air victoriously.
"Yes. That's it." He let out an evil laughter.
Awsten and Geoff had a defeated look on their face. Sorry huns.
"Why drums?" Geoff asked.
"Well I used to play drums and not gonna lie, he killed that part."
"I did, didn't I? Ah thank you." Otto wouldn't stop bragging. I rolled my eyes at him.
"You used to play drums? When?" Awsten asked.
"After we moved out, in my new school." I informed.
"Did you stop playing?" Gosh, they were asking like they were bunch of five year olds.
"Yes." I answered.
"Why?"
"Guys, you ask a lot of questions." I whined.
"No tell us, why? " Awsten demanded.
"Well I've got an issue with my hands, that's why." Awsten gave me a 'keep on' look.
"I sometimes lose control of my hands but it's for a brief time. Anyways, if I tire my hands it can trigger the condition. The reasons of it is about the nerves and neurons you know but still I shouldn't be putting so much pressure on em. " I finished off.
