Manage Me, I'm A Mess (TAYLEX)

8. For The Win

Alex's POV

After hours of practicing Coffee Shop Soundtrack, we actually felt pretty confident about Interscope Records signing us. We were actually just an indie band, then some records wanted to sign us, we all felt pretty excited, of course. I hope Tay can see us now.

"Gosh, I'm tired," Jack panted and wiped his face with a face towel.

"Will the apartment worry about our noise?" I asked worriedly.

"I don't think so, but if they did just tell that we are practicing for a popular label," Jack answered while I nodded nonchalantly.

"We need a house," I suggested.

"We don't need it, Alex. After all, we're just gonna wait for one month."

"How about you told them to reschedule it and make it, I don't know, maybe next week?"

"Are you sure, Alex? I don't feel like we don't have enough practice."

"It's okay for me, but how about you guys?" I jerked my face to Rian and Zack drinking water.

"It's okay, but we just got here and since we're not really rich, Airport tickets really cost a lot."

"Oh yeah. But Jack can you tell them if we can reschedule?" I asked.

"Sure," he got up and went back with his laptop on his hands.

He logged in to Gmail and found Interscope Records emailed us with a very satisfying subject.

Jack replied: "Hey Interscope Records, can we reschedule for the audition or something, for like next week because now we actually feel confident about performing for you guys. But flight tickets cost a lot, the drummer and the bassist, also the lead vocalist just came here. Sincerely -All Time Low."

"You think it's good?" Jack asked glancing at us. We just nodded slowly and continuously.

He chuckled and closed his laptop. "I'm bored, hey guys wanna do something?"

"I feel like going to the Mall," I declared.

"Shopping?" Jack asked.

"No," I protested. "I wanna see some new guitars, I only have one electric guitar."

"Oh sure, let's go. Wanna come Zack and Rian?"

Rian nodded and Zack answered, "Sure, but I wanna eat an McDonalds, my treat."

"Sure Zack!" we shouted simultaneously with satisfaction.

Zack widened his eyes. "Okay, I'm taking shower, I smell disgusting," he announced.

"Dude, we all are," Jack said.

"I know, I know but I'm going first," he removed his shirt and went to the shower.

After we all took a shower, we went to the mall and strolling around and found a music store.

"Hey Jack, look at this beast ass guitar," I pointed to a beige SG.

"I'm in love," he said, his eyes glued to the guitar.

"How much is it?" I said while looking at the price tag, "Woah, it costs a lot."

"Is it Epiphone?" Jack asked.

"No, it's Gibson," I told him.

"Oh okay, we'll buy it another time."

I heard an unfamiliar voice saying hi to Rian, while Rian said hi back.

"Okay Zack, let's eat at McDonalds, it's already 5."

"Alright, let's go."

After we ate at McDonalds, we all went home.

"Hey I gotta check our mail," Jack said rushing to turn on his laptop.

Sitting on the couch, Jack already had logged his email, then Interscope has already replied.

"Yes!" Jack shouted with satisfactory.

"What did they say?" I asked, looking at the laptop.

"They said that we can go now to LA, and if we got the part, they said that they're gonna pay the flight tickets plus more money."

"Woah, oh well, let's pack our things up." I stood up and glanced at Rian.

"Rian, let's help you bring those drums back," I said while he nodded in affirmation.

"It's already 7pm, we'll take the flight tomorrow."

"Okay, guys, let's help Rian," I said while Rian is putting every drum inside a bag.

After we packed the drums, Rian led us to a small house behind our apartment.
Rian knocked and a guy with glasses opened.

"Hey, can you bring this to Rob?" Rian handing over the bags.

"That fast? Okay sure, just leave it there," he pointed inside. Rian nodded and we went inside.

I putted down the bags I was carrying and someone left the bathroom, it was.. Tay! But she quickly went to a room without even seeing me. I sighed with her presence.

"Tell Rob, thanks," Rian told the guy. He didn't respond and just nodded. "Thanks guys!"

"Let's pack up," he said and we went back home.

After we packed up, we went to sleep and the first thing we did tomorrow morning, is go to Los Angeles. Time to say, goodbye to Poughkeepsie, to Tay. I wish I really got her number, but I know she will remember me while I remember her.

After the flight, I was in Los Angeles, far away from her..
