Summer Nights Book 1

Chapter 3

I heard my phone go off which woke me up, it was Damon "hello" I said in a tired voice "be there in a little bit sleepy head" he giggled "okay see you in a little bit" I said as I hanged up. So I got up and headed upstairs to get dressed. I pulled out a pair of baby-blue ripped jeans along with a purple galaxy shirt with my leather jacket. I also put my all black converse on and headed downstairs to grab my phone and bag as I heard the door bell, so I when to the door knowing it was Damon. "Hey girly you ready" he said "yep let's go" "oh by the way Alex will be joining us if that's okay" he said asked as we headed to the car. I could tell he was blushing a little "oh, okay, yeah there shouldn't be a problem" I said "so are you two" I didn't even have to ask and he knew wha i was asking "yeah and he's the one who asked me out" he said with a huge smile on his face as he got in the car. "So you must be Alex" I asked "yes, and you must be meadow, Damon told me so much about you" he said back "yes it's nice to meet you finally" I told him with a smile "it's nice to meet you to" Alex said with a warm smile "well let's go meet up with your little friend, I'm starving" Damon said as we laughed. We finally made it to the restaurant. So we got out of the car and went in the building to look for them "so where are they" Damon asked. I looked around ad spotted the boy with a red bandana "there they are" I said as I walked over to there table "hey Ashton" I said "meadow you made it" he said with a smile, giving me a hug "join us" he said. After introducing everyone we finally ordered our food. "So do you play guitar" Luke spoke up "yeah I even wrote a few song" I replied back "yeah she quite amazing at it" Damon said "that's cool we'll have to hear them sometime" Calum said "yeah" you said smiling "or maybe we can take her to the recording studio" Micheal suggested "yeah we can do that" "what do you think" Ashton asked "yeah sure I guess" I said. We finished eating and started to head out "you go on ahead Meadow, I forgot I had things to do for our beach trip tomorrow" Damon said winking so I was the only on who can see it, as he held hands with Alex "okay see you around" I said as I got into Ashton's car. He wanted me to sit in the front seat, I tried to dyne but he insist. So I claimed into the front seat and the boys sat in the back.  As we finally made it to their recording studio "wow" I said looking at all the equipment "do you like it' cal asked "yeah it's amazing" i said "Here" Ashton had handed me a galaxy acoustic guitar "awesome" I said excited "go ahead, play whenever you feel comfortable" they said. I got everything set up to play, this song sums up a lot of my personal life "Sorry if this song is sad and depressing" I tuned the guitar to my liking and took a deep breathe and started to play one of my songs. (The actual songs are not mine)

I used to shut my door while my mother screamed in the kitchen
I'd turn the music up, get high and try not to listen
To every little fight, 'cause neither one was right

I swore I'd never be like them
But I was just a kid back then

The older I get the more that I see
My parents aren't heroes, they're just like me
And loving is hard, it don't always work
You just try your best not to get hurt
I used to be mad but now I know
Sometimes it's better to let someone go
It just hadn't hit me yet
The older I get

I used to wonder why, why they could never be happy
I used to close my eyes and pray for a whole 'nother family
Where everything was fine, one that felt like mine

I swore I'd never be like them
But I was just a kid back then

The older I get the more that I see
My parents aren't heroes, they're just like me
And loving is hard, it don't always work
You just try your best not to get hurt
I used to be mad but now I know
Sometimes it's better to let someone go
It just hadn't hit me yet
The older I get

The older I get the more that I see
My parents aren't heroes, they're just like me
And loving is hard, it don't always work
You just try your best not to get hurt
I used to be mad but now I know
Sometimes it's better to let someone go
It just hadn't hit me yet
The older I get

I breathed out, "WOW" Luke spoke "that was amazing" Calum said "you are a natural" Micheal joined in as Ashton just had a huge smile on his face "thank you" I said smiling pushing a piece hair out of my face. "So what was is the story behind that song" Luke asked "well its about my parents. They had gotten a divorce when I was younger. I don't want to get into detail about it" I said with a nervous smile. All the boys with now sad expressions "hey don't give me that look" I said smile "it doesn't matter okay, it happened a while ago" I said "so have a question" I said "yeah what is it" they all said "okay ashton can you play the drums for this song" I asked "yeah sure" he said getting them ready "Luke can you play this" I handed him the shaker (I have no idea what those thing are called lol) "yeah" "Michael and Calum can you the the guitar with me" I asked them "yeah sure" they said. I gave them the music sheet for the song as we all got set up for the song I wanted to play. "Okay this song is one of my favorite songs I did and it's better with instruments"I told them. I took a deep breathe "okay 1..2..3" I said as we started to play.  

Let's crank up the truck, kick up some dust

Leave it all behind, just me and you, baby
Don't look back, stomp on the gas
Tear off the rearview, let's go crazyMaybe Tennessee

Air to breathe, the sun is shining down
Oh whoa, it's you and me
In the land of the free
So baby, let's run while we're young in AmericaWe could do the Vegas thing, you could buy me a ring
Make a lot of love and a little bit of money

Down there in Memphis, how about it, honey?Fine wine, sand, bare feet
Kiss me on the beach
So much to seeCome on, come onWhoa-oh, oh, oh, ready set go

Young in America

We finished play which was amazing in my opinion "that was awesome" ashton spoke "yeah that was really fun" I said as we put the instrument up. I was giving the guitar back to Ashton but, he didn't take it "keep it, I saw the way your eyes light up when you saw the design" he smile "thank you" I said giving him a hug. After cleaning up the studio we sat down to talk for awhile "so me and a few friends are going to the beach tomorrow, and I was wondering if you guys would like to come with us" I asked "yeah sure I don't see why not, sounds fun before we have to leave" Luke said as all the boys agreed "leave" I asked in confusion "yeah we go back on tour in three months" Michael said "so we are staying here till then" Calum said as well"oh, okay, that's right" I said. "So i'll text you the detail Ashton for tomorrow" I told him "okay, cool" he said as we talked about how much fun tomorrow will be. It was getting late so we started to head out "well you two have fun we are going clubbing" Luke said as the they climbed into his car and drove away "so, you want to come over and watch movies" I asked Ashton "yeah sure but I'm picking the movie" he said "okay" you laughed as we got into the car. We made it to my house so we got out of the car and went in "go pick a movie and I'll make some popcorn" I said as I kicked my shoes off and walked into the kitchen. The popcorn was done and smelt so good, I walked back to the living room "so what did you pick" i asked "Pursuit of Happyness" he said "cool my favorite movie, but don't laugh when you see me cry" I said while sitting on the couch. Ashton giggled as he sat on the floor next to me "you know you don't have to sit on the floor" I told him "it's okay" he said as we turned to the movie. It wasn't even 25 minutes into the movie when I heard snoring as I looked down to see Ashton sleeping, so I got up to get  a blanket and covered him. I sat down back on the couch to watch some of the movie as I started to drift off to sleep as well.
