Could This Be Forever? (ON HOLD)

Chapter 4~ Let The Games Begin

Chapter 4~ Let The Games Begin

Luke's POV~

Ok. Ok. Breathe Luke. Breathe. Ok. You got this. This spot is yours. You can do it. Why am I so nervous? I'm never nervous before a performance. I walked up to Calum's front door and hesitated. 'Just knock damn it.' I knocked and Calum came and opened the door. "Hey dude. Come on in." he moved out of the way to let me in. As I walked in, I saw the guys in the living room. They were watching Step Brothers. I sat down in a chair and started tuning my guitar. "You ready?" Michael asked. I nodded. I started strumming the tune of Blink 182's I Miss You. Their eyes seemed to light up once they heard the tune. I started singing and that just made their faces grow to be more shocked.

Where are you and I'm so sorry

I cannot sleep I cannot dream tonight

I need somebody and always

This sick strange darkness

Comes creeping and haunting every time

And as I stared I counted

Webs from all the spiders

Catching things and eating their insides

Like indecision to call you

and hear your voice of treason

Will you come home and stop this pain tonight

Stop this pain tonight

I stopped singing and waited for them to give me an answer. "What do you think?" I said. They still just stood there not making a sound. I was scared. Where they standing there cause I was good or was it because I totally sucked and ruined the audition? I set my guitar down and walked outside. I sat down on the ground and started thinking, could I really be good enough for a band? My music teacher in Australia said that I was a great student and was musically talented. How would Danielle act if I made the band? Every time I think of Danielle, what she said about Ashton keeps popping up in my head. Could he really be as bad as she says he is? I was so deep in thought, I didn't hear the guys come out. "Luke." Ashton said as he walked up behind me. I stood up and looked on their faces. Their expression didn't look too good. My hopes were slowly fading away. "Luke. We've decided that you-" Ashton hesitated. He looked over at Calum and Michael and a smiled appeared on his face. "That we want you to be in the band!" he yelled. I stood there shocked. I'm in the band. I'M IN THE BAND! "Thank you guys so much." I say as I walked over to hug the guys. "Ok Luke don't get too mushy or we'll have to kick you out." Calum joked as we let go of each other. Everyone laughed. I pulled out my phone and texted Danielle.

Luke~ Guess whose in a band?!

Danielle~OMG!! CONGRATULATIONS LUKE!!!!! I'm so proud. Good luck with practice and everything. Awwww. My boy has joined a band! Eww. Now I sound like a mom.

Luke~Thanks mom. We should celebrate. After I leave, later tonight want to go get some pizza?

Danielle~ Yea that sounds like fun. See you after practice. Later Hemmings.

Luke~ Later Brooks.

The guys and I started talking about how we want to write our own songs. The creativity writing process has started.

~*~*~*~*~*~*

The guys and I have already written like six songs already. They're Gotta Get Out, Unpredictable, Out of My Limit, Beside You, Disconnected, and Heartache On the Big Screen. And I gotta say, they're pretty good songs. Michael was telling us about the Battle of the Bands and how we should sign up for it. "We should, but we don't have a name for the band." Calum said. We started thinking for about a good twenty minutes. We shouted out names, but practically hated all of them. At a random ass moment, Michael shouted, "How about 5 Seconds of Summer?" I liked it. We looked around the room at each other, "All in favor of 5 Seconds of Summer, say I." Ashton said. We all said 'I'. 5 Seconds of Summer is a good name for a group of Aussies. Oh ya. I never mentioned Ashton, Calum, and Michael are Australian and moved from Sydney too. They just moved to Florida their freshmen years. We talked about signing up more and decided that we would. "Luke. Your going out with Dani later tonight to the pizza place right?" Michael asked. "How'd you know?" I asked with suspicion. "We may or may not gone through your phone when you went to the bathroom." Calum said. You see, most people in this situation would either scream or yell at them, but I'm not really mad. "Your point?" I say. "You guys are probably going to go to the pizza place in the mall and the sign up list is in the mall, so while your there sign us up." Michael explained. Good idea. I looked at my phone and saw it was 5:30. "Oh crap! I have to go. I'll sign us up. See you guys tomorrow/." I yelled as I ran out the door. I was suppose to be home a hour ago. My mom's going to freak.

~*~*~*~*~*~*

I'm on my way to Dani's house and I can't want for tonight. It's not a date, but this is the time Dani and I could talk without being interrupted by someone. I pulled up in her driveway and she was waiting on her porch for me. Words couldn't even describe how beautiful she looked. Even with her wearing something so simple.

Danielle's POV~

It's almost 6:30 and I'm waiting for Luke to get here. Oh shit. I forget to tell him I don't have a car. I'm praying he at least has a car. I don't want to walk to the mall. I was wearing a black tank top with a red plaid flannel, some black skinny jeans and some biker boots. Luke pulled up in my driveway and he couldn't take his eyes off me. I blushed a little. Damn. That boy can make me blush so easily. How does he do it? I walked over to his car which was a classic. He had a red 1957 Chevy Belair, to be exact. My dream car. I'm gonna have to convince him to let me drive it someday. I got in and we talked for a few minutes before we pulled off. Let the night begin.

~*~*~*~*~*~*

We pulled up into a parking spot at the mall. "Where do you want to go first? Luke asked. "Well I have to sign my brothers and I in the Battle of the Bands first. Come on." I say as I got out the car. We walked to the door and walked inside. I saw the sign up sheet just being put up so I grabbed Luke's hand and dragged him over to the sheet with me. I grabbed the pen and filled out the entry form.

Band Name: Midnight Cries

Bandmembers: Dane Brooks, Danielle Brooks, Diego Brooks, Drake Brooks

Phone #: 255 769 3628

I slipped the entry in the box the same time Luke was dropping his in. Wait what?! The same time as Luke?! I looked him with a confused expression on my face. "I'll explain when we get to the pizza place." he said. I nodded. We walked to the pizza parlor and sat down at a table. The waiter came over to us. I was still looking at the menu when he came over. "Hi. I'm Drake and I'll be your server for the evening. Can I start you with something to drink?" he said. My eyes grew wide. Oh this night just got so much better. "I'll have a root beer." Luke said. "I'll have a combination of root beer and Dr. Pepper." I say disguising my voice. "You're just like my sister." Drake said as he wrote down our drinks. "Or am I your sister?" I whispered creepily as I removed the menu from my face. His face was priceless. All scared and shocked. Luke and I started laughing. "What are you doing here?" Drake growled at me. "I can't come to the pizza parlor with my friend? Please I didn't even know you worked here." I say annoyed. "Because your weren't suppose to know damn it." he said. "Hey you can't curse at us. We're customers and we can report you for rude behavior." Luke joined in. Drake glared at Luke and then back at me. "I'll be back with your drinks." he mumbled. As soon as Drake walked away, I high fived Luke, as I said, "Nice one dude. What pizza?" He shrugged. "You choose." he said. Drake came back with our drinks and asked us for our order. "We want a triple meat pizza with pineapple on half of it." I say with attitude. Drake came down by my ear and whispered, "When we get home, I'm kicking your ass." He stood back up and walked to the kitchen. We laughed, but I stopped suddenly when I remembered that Luke owns me an explaination of why he was dropping a slip in the box for the Battle of the Bands. "Hey. Why were you dropping a slip in the box?" I asked so suddenly. He leaned back in the seat and said,"Casue the guys and are going to try and win the contest. Why were you so shocked to see me entering?" I leaned as well and crossed my arms. "Because my brothers and I have won two years straight. And I don't want to crush your dreams when you lose to Midnight Cries." I say confident. "Well I guess that has to change my friends." he said whiling leaning in setting his elbows on the table. I copied his movement, but i poked his nose and said, "Well I guess my friend. You're in for the beating of your life. So, let the games begin."

Indeed my friends. Let the games begin.
