MagCon: preferences and imagines

Free Fallin'

*Alyssa's pov*

I strummed the string of my guitar slowly as I listened to one of my old Beatles records. I was supposed to go perform in 10 minutes outside of my room in my backyard for my parents and our guests. I was nervous. I had never sung or played my guitar in front of anyone but my band or my family. My three best friends, Christie, Liam, and Eli sat around the record player, waiting for my dad to come in.

"I'm scared. What if I mess up? what if I break my drumstick?" Christie stands up and starts pacing.

"What if my string breaks?" Liam's eyes show a glint of fear.

"You will be fine." I hear my dad say as he stood in the doorway. "Good luck."

Eli grabbed his bass off my bed and Liam unlocks his guitar case, pulling it out. Christie hold tightly on to her drumsticks and we walk out into my backyard. I walk out on to the deck which already had the amps and Christie's drums hooked up. All the microphones and speakers in place. I stood at the front mic and plugged my guitar in quickly. Allowing everyone to get ready while I introduce us.

"Hey guys. If you don't know my name I'm Alyssa. I want to thank you guys for coming out for our first performance. I've been in this band since 8th grade and now all of us have graduated and we are finally able to make this a full time commitment. Now I'll introduce you to my partners in crime." I took a deep breath, trying to shake the nerves. "On the drums we have Christie Milan, on bass, is Eli Bennet, and on rhythm guitar is Liam Burke And we make up 'amnesia'." Everyone clapped.

"The first song we will play for you is 'hold on' by Alabama shakes. I hope you like it." I held my favorite guitar pick between me thumb and index finger and being strumming the chords to one of my favorite songs.

"Bless my heart, bless my soul." I sang with all my emotions. I don't like to sound conceited but I love my voice. It was a little soulful, but strong. I sang most of the song with my eyes closed. I opened them and I saw a brown haired boy staring at me. I locked eyes with him and he winked. I blushed and finished the song.

"Okay we have one last song. It's called, 'Free Fallin'. It was originally sung by Tom Petty, but honestly I prefer the John Mayer version. Sorry dad." Everyone laughed and I let Liam begin the song.

"Now I'm free, free fallin'" I joined in with Liam and we sang. Then I got to my favorite part. "I wanna glide down over mulholland." I always loved that line. I don't know why. I looked back over at the brown haired boy and he smiled.

Once we finished the song, I did our finish. "I want to thank you all so much for seeing us first. We worked really hard on these covers and hope to see you guys soon. Now I'll hand the mic over to my dad." Then Christie, Liam, Eli and I exited the stage. I went into the kitchen while the rest of the band went to my room.

"Hey gorgeous." I turned around and saw the brown haired boy.

"You followed me?" I laughed a little.

"Yeah. I need to get to know something more about you besides that you can sing, play guitar, and that your name is Alyssa."

"Well I don't even know your name." I crossed my arms, staring at him. I saw that even closer up he was handsome. When he smiled he seemed more welcoming and gorgeous, but when straight faced, he looked intimidating.

"My name is Jack, Jack Gilinsky."

"I know who you are. You are Liam's cousin."

"Yeah." He scratched his head. "So how old are you?"

"Old enough." I laughed.

"So you're legal?"

"Yep."

"Damn, that's sexy." he chucked slightly. "Well can I have your number?"

"That was straight forward." I took a piece of paper from the counter and scribbled my number on the piece of paper and handed it to him. He looked at hot and smiled.

"I'll see you soon 'future gf' or do you prefer Alyssa?"

"I like Alyssa, for now." I blushed, leaking upstairs to my room.
