"What would I give for another chance like this? To be with you again like this."
I sang while playing a chord on the guitar that my best friend Carmen gave me. Glancing down towards the page on the notepad for another moment, I muttered under my breath and ripped out the page.
"Al infierno con esto." I placed the guitar back in it's location before I turned to the radio to turn up the volume. Just as I was turning up the volume a bit louder a new song from the band CNCO started to play.
"Hey DJ come and play the music I know that she likes it. Got to see her moving. Got to keep dancing." Bopping to the beat I looked out of the window sill to the street that I grown up in my whole life.
My name is Hailey. Born and raised the city of Miami, Florida for the last 22 years of my life and this is one of the many cities where the people don't sleep. It's a non stop party everyday in a big town like this and who can really blame them.
Miami is known for it's many beaches and tropical climate, plus there is always new tourists that come to visit either for the beaches alone or even for ultra.
"Ponme Reggateon, pero full. Pa'Pasarla cool hay muchas en la discotecas pero solo me gustas tu, solamente tu yo me imagino en la playa contigo en un cielo azul."
Singing along with the song and still bopping my head to the beat. CNCO is a band of 5 amazing and talented guys that come from different countries but they all share the same dream which is not only making music but also their love for what they do.
Christopher is the oldest out the 5 of them. He was born in Jersey but has lived for almost his whole life in Ecuador before he had to come back to the U.S for not only a better life for himself but to also help his family in any way that he could. Christopher is now 23 and like the rest of the boys he has a heart of gold.
Richard is the second oldest at 21 years old, born and raised in New York but is Dominican by heart. Zabdiel is 20 and is from Puerto Rico. Joel 19 years old he's from California and is Mexican. The youngest is Erick who is 17 years old and he's from Cuba.
These 5 guys came to Miami and auditioned for a reality show called "La Banda" that was formed by Ricky Martin and Simon Cowell in 2015. After it came down to the last reaming 7 competitors they were the lucky 5 that won the show and have been together after 3 years.
I was so lost within the song that I jumped out of my skin when my phoned started to ring. Turning down the volume to the radio by my window sill I picked up.
"Mi amgia. How are you?" Carmen my best friend since middle school said through through Face-time. Carmen is white tanned skin woman with black hair and brown eyes.
Her body type is not much different from mine for we have both have the same slim figure and are very similar to the height of 5'8.
"Estoy bien mi amor y tu?" Smiling at her warmly while getting to my feet and walking over to the bed to plug my phone into the charger by the nightstand table.
"Bien, bien. Have you heard that CNCO is town for a few days before they need to fly out to Puerto Rico?" Carmen asks.
Shaking my head at her before unlocking the bracelet that my dad given before he passed away when I was 13.
"Yeah I know. They have been posting some photos on Instagram but I am not going to break my head over it." I say to her while placing the placing the bracelet into the jewelry box that my mom had bought me from Spain.
"Did you also see that they will be having a M&G before they leave. This can be our chance to meet them." Carmen says with glee laced in her tone.
For it would be a dream to not only meet the guys in person and even speak with them for a moment but just seeing them from a far and being to attend their concert for when they come back to Miami in March is more then enough for me.
"Aunque sería bueno reunirse y hablar con ellos en persona por un momento. You know and I both know that the chances of that happening is like winning the lottery." I joked as she rolled her eyes at me.
"Will you are going to love the surprise that I have for you." Carmen says. Glancing back at her I titled my head to the side in confusion.
"What do you mean? I don't like surprises and you know that." For it was a turn of events ever since my father passed away it was not only a shock for me but it was something that I didn't expect to happen so soon in my life.
"It turns out that not only did I get us passes to meet them but the boys are also looking for a girl to join them in the band." Carmen says as her eyes shine bright with happiness. "Hails this can be your chance to not only meet them but also to show them what you can do."
"De acuerdo, ni siquiera voy a preguntar cómo tuviste suerte de obtener los pases para el encuentro y el saludo but okay. Besides they wont have time to hear anyone and much with the amount of people that will be going to the M&G anyways. Aside from that you know that I am not cut out to be on stage. I'm to shy for that and I just sing for fun." I sigh heavily before laying on my side for a more comfortable position.
"I will be right there with you. Hailey you are one of the many strongest people that I know. If anything you are much braver then I am. How do you know what can happen if you don't give it a chance?" Carmen says titling her head. Gazing back to her I frowned.
"Solo lo dices para hacerme sentir mejor." She shakes her head at me again before her smile turned into a scowl.
"No I am not. I am saying it because you have talent but you also have a lot to say when it comes to what you want."
Shrugging my shoulders and laying my hand behind my head I looked at her.
" I'll go to the M&G but I am not expecting else out of it I will tell you that right now." Carmen rolls her Bambi colored eyes at me before sighing in defeat.
"Fine fine fine but when you are asked to sign a recording contract with Sony or Icon music or whatever I am not going to let you turn it down. I am on my way to your house now so we can change and head over to the M&G with CNCO now."
Nodding at her then hanging up on her I peered to the photograph with my dad on the first cruise that I took with him and sighed in frustration.
"It's always nice to dream daddy but that's all it is a dream. Besides I am not talented musically and I can't dance to safe my life. Still it's nice to have a dream even if you need to wake up from it. every now and then."
Sitting up right on the bed and getting to my feet I headed over to the closet to pick out a nice outfit to go meet CNCO. I suppose that there are some dreams that can become a reality. Just being able to meet CNCO is it's own reward for me and it's enough.
This is going to be the spanglish version to the story.
What do you guys think?
Would you do anything to make your dreams happen?
Should Hailey sing for the guys when she goes to meet them and see what they think of her?
Is Carmen right about her going after what she wants?
