When 19 year old Samantha Kelly signed up for the newest singing competition Bandslam she never knew just how much her life would change...

A/N: Bandslam is set about 6 months after the end of...
I wake to my alarm and Jace groaning from the bed beside mine, "Turn it off already" he says whilst putting a pillow over his head. I just laugh and shake my head at how pathetic he can be in the mornings. I jump in the shower before getting changed and ready for the day.

I quickly go to Starbucks and grab some coffees for Eli, Jace, Riley, Addy and I before bringing them back to the hotel. I stop by Eli's room first, giving him his coffee as he comes back to my room. When we enter the room we see that Jace has gone back to sleep, so Eli grabs a cup of water and lightly pours some onto his face. Jace suddenly jumps up wiping his face whilst Eli and I laugh at him, "I hate you guys" he says grumpily. "Peace offering" I tell him as I give him his coffee. I simply get a groan in return, he is definitely not a morning person.
I knock on the connecting door to Addy's room, "Come in" she calls out. I open the door to find Riley and Addy curled up in bed watching something on her laptop. "Well that saves me having to walk to Riley's room, I got you guys coffee" I tell them as I grab their cups and bring them back. "What are you watching?" I asked them. "We were just watching some of the performance so far and looking at what the fans are saying" Riley explains. "Move over" I tell Addy as I climb into the bed next to her.
We watch a few performances until we get to our performance for movie week. "Everytime I watch this I get goosebumps" I tell them. Addy leans her head on my shoulder, "No matter what happens in this competition you are my sister now" she says. "I love you guys, I honestly could not have done that without you" I tell them both. Out of the corner of my eye I see a camera flash, we all look to find Jace standing in the door way. "Sorry but it was a perfect picture opportunity" he says looking guilty. I roll my eyes and throw a pillow at him. "Come on it's probably time to get going, the van leaves in 20 minutes" Rileys says as we get up and grab our stuff for rehearsals.

Today our group is going in last for mentoring with Tim, Adam and the guys but we have to do choreography, wardrobe fittings and social media stuff before that. After our lunch break we get called into the rehearsal room. Lucy, Lisa and I give all of the guys a hug. Drew and I quickly hug, trying to make it just look friendly before we grab our microphones and sit with Tim. For this performance I'm playing the guitar so I quickly attach a guitar strap so I can stand and play. We run through the song a few times, adjusting our performance based on the feedback the give us.
As we sing the song I notice that Lisa looks a bit uncomfortable and disconnected. "Can we take a quick water break?" I ask Tim. He nods and we agree on a ten minute break. Us girls move over to the table with the water bottles and sit on the nearby couch. "Hey Lisa is everything okay? You just seem a bit out of it" I ask her with concern. She looks to her lap and shakes her head as a tear drops down her cheek. Lucy and I immediately sit on either side of her to give her a hug. "What's going on Lisa?" Lucy asks again. Lisa wipes away her tears and takes a big breath before she speaks, "I just feel like I shouldn't be here. I was so close to elimination last week, what's the point if I'm just going to get eliminated this week". I give her a squeeze, "Lisa, you can't think like that. You are incredibly talented and just because you had an off week doesn't mean that you are next to be eliminated" I tell her. "Yeah and remember that America voted to save YOU! That means that they still believe in you and so do we" Lucy adds as I nod in agreement.
