Misery (Austlan Cashby)

Misery

"I wish I could talk you out of this Austin, I don't see why the band needs to change" Ricky pleaded

"Because, the band needs to mix it's style. It's time for a change, and this is just the way to do it. It's time for people to take Attack Attack! Seriously" I explained

"Alright.. I'll see you in New York In a few days. Bye Aust" he sighed

"Bye man" I replied, hanging up the phone.

I just wish I had someone to tell me if what I am doing is right. I think this is what AA needs but... well let's face it, I've been wrong before.

I shoved all the papers that had the lyrics and melodies for our new album into a folder and tucked in under my arm as I made my way to the car.

I pulled out of the parking lot of Hotel Boulderado, the place where I've written the first drafts for all our best songs. As I drive down the snow covered highway, alcohol coursing through my veins, I try my best to keep my eyes on the road. After all, I do need to get to the airport so I can fly home, but a big green sign with white reflective letters that read 'exit 239 to Los Angeles' caught my attention

"I guess it would be alright if I'm a few days late.." I mumbled as I took the exit, turning on the wind shield wipers to clear the heavy snow off the glass.

I put my hand on the folder that held the destiny of me and my band, letting out a sorrow filled sigh. If I'm wrong about what we need, then it's all over. The progress we made with our first album will be ruined.

Just as I started to let the thoughts pick at my drunk, wasted mind, A huge chunk of snow hit the wind sheild. It was completely blinding me and making it impossible to see, then the next thing I knew I was in pain. everything kept crashing down on me and all I could hear was the sound of metal being crushed. Then it stopped. My sight came back, but it was blurred. Yet I could make out a medium sized figure, and the sound of crunching snow. Then I just passed out.....This wasn't going to be good.

Hey guys! So I will be making up certain parts of this story, For the most part all the speaking parts and thoughts will be written by me, but it will follow the basic plot line of Misery. Oh! And If you haven't read that book or seen the movie you should because it's really good; but you don't have to read/watch it to understand the story. And to be completely clear, this is just my take on the story embellished with my favorite OTP! I hope you enjoy it!
