Both Sides Of The Story

The Meeting

Tay's POV

Oh My God! We actually have music out. I'm so proud of us. I mean Me; Jordan, Mike, Cameron and Rob are just five kids from New York who love music. Our record label Hopeless told us we would have to go on tour soon to promote our EP Guaranteed To Disagree. We would be the opening act though because you can't do much with six songs. We were on our way to the meeting with our record label and the headliner band because apparently they were signed with Hopeless too.

Jordan was so nervous. He turned to me "Tay, what if they don't like us?!"Cameron shot me a shut him the hell up look. I put a hand on his shoulder and say "Jordan, I'm pretty sure they will." For the rest of the ride we all made small talk.

When we arrived we walked through the glass doors of their New York building. The lady at the front desk gave us the fakest smile. "Name?" She said abruptly giving us an impatient look. "We Are The In Crowd. We have a meeting with James." I responded nicely. I wasn't going to let a 45 year old cranky receptionist with really bad roots ruin my excited mood. She typed on her keyboard. "Room 13." She said. "Thanks." Cameron said as we all walked away. "That lady was a pain in the ass." Rob said. We all laughed.

When we reached room 13 Mike held open the door for everyone to enter. We saw James, Rachel our Tour Manager, and five other guys. We quickly took the five empty chairs. I looked the guys over we would be touring with. The closet to me was very muscular and tattooed. He had a nose piercing exactly like me. The one next to him had jet black hair with a blonde streak in the middle. He reminded me of a skunk but in a cute cuddly way. The next one had a buzz cut and looked like he was the most serious out of them. Another part of me told me that him and Rob would be best friends in no time. And the last one had blonde hair and a rose tattoo on his hand that had to hurt like hell. As I looked him over i realized he was sort of cute. My brain clicked in telling me no Tay, you can't have him. He's probably taken.

James spoke up breaking my daydream. "All Time Low, this is We Are The In Crowd the band that will be opening for you. We Are The In Crowd this is All Time Low the band you'll be opening for." Rachel and the other guy smiled at us. Rachel spoke up then directed at All Time Low "We hope to have a great tour with you guys. I'm Rachel, WATIC's TM. This is Robert our drummer, Mike our bassist, Cameron our rhythm guitarist, Jordan our lead guitarist and singer and Taylor the lead singer." They all smiled at us. I noticed the cute one looking us over he gave all the boys a glance and stared at me for a couple of minutes before he noticed I was watching him. He blushed and looked away.

The guy standing next to Rachel then introduced himself. "I'm Matt Flyzik, All Time Low's TM. Boys I'm sure you can introduce yourselves and tell us your roll in the band." I could tell Rachel was upset by the last part of what Matt said. Matt then pointed to the guy with the muscles sitting next to me. "I'm Zack Merrick and I play Bass for All Time Low." He said. Mike grinned and stage whispered to Cameron. "He's just like me." We all laughed.

It was the guy with skunk hair turn now. He introduced himself like Mike would. "Hi, I'm Jack and I pretend to play guitar." We all laughed. I could tell right now this was going to be an awesome tour. The next guy went. "I'm Rian and I play drums." See I knew him and Rob were going to be best friends. I could just see them now talking about which drum sticks give you a better quality sound.

The blonde guy went next. "I'm Alexander William Gaskarth but you can call me Alex and I play guitar and sing." He said smiling at all of us. I knew when I heard his voice it was a lost cause. He was so cute and his voice was like music to the angels. I could only imagine what he sounded like when he sung. Matt and Rachel gave us grins. "Well you have a month before tour starts but you should get to know each other better. Well this meeting is over." James said smiling at all of us.
