Guitar lessons (TFF)

Chapter 5

______= insert your name

You and the band members made your way to the other studio where you would be reshooting the end of the 'Shout' video. A whole bunch of people were brought in and cameras were everywhere. Chris and Nigel were both there as well. "Okay everyone listen up, no joking around, just sing and clap along with the video, we just don't want you doing anything rude", Nigel told the people who had been brought in.
You were very excited to be in this video, and you wondered that if you went home and watched it on YouTube if you would see yourself in it.

With the instruments assembled and ready to go soon enough Roland, Curt, Manny, and Ian came out. They had just had their makeup done.
You stared at the several cameras facing you, was this really happening? Today was so amazing, learning to play the guitar, playing with the band, being in their video, meeting Roland...
"Okay", a man walked out with a clapboard with 1 written on it. "Take one" he shouted.

In the background the music for 'Shout' began to play. The band started playing along with the music while you and the other people clapped and sang along as told.

Yet, something happened... one of the kids, who seemed to be about 12 years old, who was just innocently clapping in the background, ran up to Ian and started hitting buttons on his keyboard.
"WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT FOR", Ian yelled at the kid. " Don't you know we need to get this finished soon! If you think you're funny you're not."
Roland sighed and pulled off his guitar, holding it in his hand by the neck. But while he was over looking at Ian, another kid ran over, grabbed Roland's guitar right out of his hand and smashed it on the floor!!!!! Both kids ran out of the studio laughing.
But in the studio it was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.
Everyone was just staring at Roland's favorite guitar smashed to peices on the ground.

"I'm gonna wring that kids neck", Manny whispered to himself.

Curt went over to Roland. "Are you okay dude..."

Roland's fists were clenched at his sides as he stood up and walked out of the studio, slamming the door shut behind him.

Curt took a deep breath and said " I'm gonna go talk to him..." He walked out of the studio but came in 5 minutes later. "I think Roland walked back to the rehearsal studio we were in this morning. I went to talk to him but he's very pissed. We better leave him alone.

Chris and Nigel shook their heads. "What a day, what a day", Nigel muttered. "We need a video for this song. I don't know what to say. We need to shoot this video so someone needs to get Roland back here. "
"Hey listen up, everyone 14 and under get out, because obviously the kids here can't act maturely", Chris says.
A few people leave, staring at the smashed guitar still lying on the floor.

"Roland has so many other guitars, he needs to calm down, he'll just use another", Chris says.
Ian shakes his head, "that was his favorite guitar, the one he used on tour"

"That teaches him not too take it off. If Roland hadn't taken off his guitar than that wouldn't have happened, now he ran away and is acting like a baby. He needs to be more mature and get back over here if he wants this video done." Nigel says.

Ian's face grew red, "Roland obviously needs some time, it doesn't mean he's a baby. Stop making it like it's his fault, it was the stupid kid who smashed the damn thing"

You look at the beautiful guitar smashed into tiny bits on the ground, the string are all unattached and the whole guitar neck is snapped.

Curt pulls you over by the arm. " Hey, ________, quick go find Roland and get him to come back over here. Nigel is getting very pissed that Roland still hasn't come back. You better hurry before Nigel starts yelling at everyone." He gestures to Ian and Manny arguing with Nigel.

The people in the back of the video who were supposed to clap and sing along are very confused. They are just standing around anxiously.

You slip out of the studio and approach the other one where you were this morning. From the outside it is so big, with shiny black walls that reach more than 4 stories high.

You walk inside and find Roland sitting with his other guitars in the room behind the stage. You notice the clock on the wall; it's 2 o'clock.

You sit down next to Roland. "Everyone wants you to come back, Nigel is starting to yell at Ian and Manny" you tell him.
"I'm not going back there. Another kid is just going to do something stupid, I know it"
"Chris had all the kids leave the studio, so you can go back now"
"No, I can't. That was my best guitar, and Nigel and Chris are going to act like it didn't even matter. They don't even understand. I know I have other guitars but that one was my best one", Roland says.
He bites his lip and looks over at the door. Then he grabs a white and baby blue colored guitar and heads towards the door. "I guess I'm acting kind of immaturely about this. I'll go back, but I'm still pissed about my guitar", he says. " Thanks for coming and talking to me about it", he says to you with a smile.

Your face grows red, "Pfff, I barely even said anything, you don't need to thank me"

"Well I do have to thank you for coming here today. You made me laugh a few times, especially when you started singing 'Shout'." Roland says.

You follow him back to the other studio, feeling your face get even redder the more you think about what he just said to you.

To be continued soon, either today or 8/7/18.
