Can We Fall In Love Now? [Nicole Row]

Chapter 13

I sighed, setting my phone down. I'd arrived at their second band meeting, this time we would be discussing ideas for the music, and just practicing covers.

It was about a week after Brendon's band had announced Nicole and done a few events(aka, dropped the album). I myself couldn't even stop listening to it, and Milo - being the responsible person he is - got me to grab the music for it and send it to them. So I did, and we had all been practicing our parts.

I grabbed my guitar, slinging the strap over my shoulders and started to play around, tuning it accordingly. I looked at the others, watching as they did the same.

"We all good then?" I asked as the cacophony of sounds slowed to a stop, and we all just waited around.

"I think so." Milo said, glancing around what had basically become his band.

"I mean, I'm ready." Ethan said, looking nervous.

Elizama stood next to him, putting a hand on his shoulder, "I think you'll do great Ethan." She smiled, and I couldn't help but think of how cute they would be together until I realized that she was dating Josh already.

"Thanks El." He smiled, and I sighed softly, looking back at Milo who then gave us all a thumbs up.

"Ethan, just start whenever." I said, plucking a cord absentmindedly.

"Gotcha." And then he started singing one of my favorites, King Of The Clouds. I let his vocals surround me until it hit my cue, and I started playing.

The others joined in, and it sounded fairly bad. I mean, has anyone ever sounded good their first practice? But we tried our best, playing through the whole song while probably killing our ears with the chaotic sounds.

Then the song faded out, and Ethan looked back at us. "Probably could have done better, yeah?"

"Wow couldn't tell." Elizama snapped back, making me snort.

"Okay, well. Timing could have been better, Addy you started way too early. El, you needed to start between my time and hers, you started a bit too late." Milo said, standing up.

"Milo you were a bit too fast. It felt rushed to me, and it threw me off." Ethan said, and we went around like that before practicing bit by bit now, studying each of our parts together and apart.

"I think we're ready to try again, yeah? And then we can do something more later." Milo looked between us all, and we agreed.

Then we started again, Ethan's vocals filling the silence in the garage, then my guitar, El's guitar, and Milo's drums. It sounded less terrible than last time's, since we were more on beat with each other. Still have a long way to go.

I checked my phone for the time, getting distracted by a text.
