*Vic's P.O.V*

It's the day of our big gig and we were up most of last night perfecting our playlist that contains a few covers and ones we have written ourselves. None of us have gone to our lectures today because, in our eyes, this was more important and we have to calm each others nerves. It was a few ours before we were going to sound check and we were all playing our instruments, warming our hands up before one last practise.

"Who do you think will be there tonight then?" Dave asked as for a moment we were all staring into space thinking about tonight

"I'm not sure" Sam replied "But apparently The Stone Roses have played here before, you know when they were just starting out"

"What if this is our big break?!" Rich squealed

"Rich, come on, don't get our hopes up or make us anymore nervous than we already are!" I said with a nervous giggle

"Yeah all we need to do is warm up man up and not fuck up" Sam said inspirationally

"To be honest if we mess up we just can't make it obvious that we have and make ourselves look like a group of armature wannabe's" i said

"Right, one more run through then we can all get ready to rock" Dave suggested

We all agreed.

After we had a run though i was quite positive that we were going to be okay, i don't believe in supposition or anything so hopefully i haven't jinxed anything! I couldn't help thinking about what Sam had said about The Stone Roses that they had played on that very stage, i mean i don't want to push our luck but what if Rich is right? What if this is our big break. We've played little back alley, grotty venues before which were okay and some thing to do and an experience. I jumped into the shower and let the hot water hug me and calm me down. When i got out i wrapped my hair in a towel and started on my make-up i just put some tinted moisturizer, as i have slightly olive-skin anyway and didn't want to have a sweaty foundation look when i was in stage i just bronzed my cheeks slightly and did quite a dark smokey eye with eyeliner and mascara, i filled in my brows and then was done for my face. I released my hair from the towel and blow dried the parts that were still damp and just let it fall naturally as it is wavy and brunette, it falls down to about my elbows i would say. All that was left to do was to get dressed i decided to wear black jeans that were ripped and the knee and Nivana vest that was originally Rich's but i persuaded him to let me have it. I tended to wear a few wrist bands on my right arm that were from concerts so i liked them to be seen and on my left arm, from my wrist to just below my elbow i had tattoos, mainly of ivy vines and delicate leafs climbing up my for-arm. I rolled up the bottom of jeans put on an anklet and converse and was set to go. I grabbed my guitar and waiting for Dave to pick me up.

*Sam's P.O.V*

Vic and Dave had arrived and we had done our sound check that went okay but could of gone better and i think its making us all on edge. Personally i was shitting myself, Vic was holding herself together the best. I can tell Vic really wants this to lead to new opportunities, shes always dreamed of being in a band as have we all but Vic's impatient and if we can catch a break it means we can take this next year out and make a go of it otherwise will have to wait until next year. This is our dream and we work for it and we will continue to.

"i'm so fucking nervous Sam" said Dave

"Me unall" whisper Rich

"We will be fine, its good we're nervous you know? i said

"I really feel like i need to do this for Vic" Rich said

Me and Dave knew exactly what he mean't, Vic had a rough time before she came to Uni, she ending up telling us all because we saw numerous scars on her hips and very top thighs she just said she was glad to get away, she has had issues with food even now and she finds it very difficult to cope, shes quite skinny now and she was curvy in school but in the right places like! She always comments on how fat she is though. She found her way into music as an escape and our best songs are written by her.Vic was very sad and lonely as a young teenager and we all do are best to make sure she never feels like that ever.
