Nirvana: Live in Aberdeen

Chapter 8

(Chad's POV)

*Knock, knock*

I opened the door and saw Kurt.

"Hey."

"Where's Krist?" I asked.

"He had a hot date. He'll be by soon. Meanwhile Krist and I wrote a song you need to learn."

After 15 minutes of Kurt reminding me to not punch my snare and telling me when to build where, Krist showed up. His date was still with him.

"Why is she here?" I asked.

"She's watching the practice." Kurt said with a sigh.

"No. N-n-n-no. No no. Nope. Not happening." I said. "My basement is full of your stuff and there's no room."

"She could sit on the stairs." Krist suggested.

"I suppose..."

And before I knew it we were practicing with girlie on the stairs.

"She wants me to sing a song for her too." Krist said after we finished playing 'School'.

"Alrighty Krist. Which song?" Kurt said, stepping back from the mic.

"Tender I suppose." Krist said and Kurt played the first lines of Elvis's 'Love Me Tender'.

(Krist's POV)

"Love me tender,

love me sweet.

Take me to your heart.

You have made my life complete..."

Wow I was actually doing okay. I've only ever sang in front of the guys. But my voice held out till the end, when I started coughing and couldn't stop.

Next we played 'Mr. Moustache' a song Kurt dedicated to George, even though it had nothing to do with him.

Then 'Sliver' and our new 'About a Girl'.

We did some covers and A song called 'Polly' then went home.

In the car Brit wouldn't stop talking about our band. She loved 'About a Girl' and 'Polly', but her favorite was my Elvis cover.

"What's your band name?" she asked.

"Name?.. I don't know we never gave it much thought."

"Tell me when you figure it out."

"Okay." I said and she got out of the car. I drove it another twenty feet and parked it.

"HALT, WHO GOES THERE?"

"KRIST."

"HOW WAS YOUR DATE KRIS?"

"GREAT."

"AND YOUR PRACTICE?"

"AWESOME."

"GOOD TO HEAR. G'NIGHT KRIS."

"THANKS JOHN."

I made my way to the tent and on my way saw Kayla and Robbie. I shook Kayla a little and whispered.

"It's Krist... the car is free."

She got up, nodded, and made her way up the hill.

I got to the tent and went in. Kurt was still awake.

"Hey I was thinking... what should our band name be?" I asked. We kept talking and settled on Nirvana. That's where we took off.
