I went straight to Google and typed in ‘Loveable Rogues’. I was shocked and kind of upset by what I found. There were only twitter pages and YouTube videos. I clicked on one of the links to YouTube. I sat there in silence- there was my brother, then Sonny, then Té sitting on a long in a park. That log was our log in our park. Mine and Eddie’s. That’s where we used to walk along as kids, and when he wasn’t at college, that’s where we went for him to teach me the guitar. This better be good. Suddenly Sonny spoke up
‘We’re the Loveable Rogues and this is our cover of Ed Sheeran’s- The A Team’
He began strumming away on what I guessed was a ukulele- his voice almost angelic, yet terribly shy. He sung the verse and chorus, Té and Eddie adding the occasional harmony. I have to say, I was really enjoying it, tapping my finger to the beat on the side of the laptop. Just as I was expecting the second verse I got a shock, Eddie had written a rap. It was so funny I burst into laughter. It came to the end and although Sonny played the wrong chord and Eddie tripped over the camera, I was still left wanting more. I clicked on another cover, Help by The Beetles. I loved the way they all sang different parts together that must have been hard to work out. These guys are clever, I thought. They had only posted three covers so I clicked the last one. It was of my all-time favourite song- Posh Girls by Scouting for Girls. I jumped up and started dancing around my room, the song on repeat. It was absolutely amazing! Why had Eddie never showed me this? Was he ashamed? He definitely had no reason to be!
I was halfway through an epic hair-whip/air guitar move when I noticed my brother at the door laughing.
‘EDDIE!’ I screamed over the music, ‘YOU’RE IN A BAND AND YOU NEVER TOLD ME!’
He walked over, switched off the music and sat cross legged on my bed.
‘Are you not annoyed that I didn’t tell you?’ he asked twiddling his thumbs a little.
‘Oh I’m FURIOUS!’ I yelled, his face dropped a little so I ran, jumped onto the bed next to him and kissed him on the cheek, ‘But I’m also extremely proud of my big bro.’ He smiled and said thanks. He also promised never to keep anything from me again. He was about to leave when I made the cheeky suggestion that I could join the band.
‘Err Court, it’s called the loveable rogues, not the loveable plus one incredibly stupid and annoying rogue’ he laughed and walked out.
All that dancing had tired me out so I turned off my laptop and hopped into bed, the whiskers and nose still on my face that I couldn’t be bothered to get rid of. I would do it in the morning. Sweet dreams!
It had now been four months since my parents left and although during the day I hadn’t thought of them much but at night, I found it hard to sleep I missed them too much. Often I would shed a tear but nobody knew. I was upstairs getting into my pj’s after dinner. Unfortunately it was too hot now to wear my onesie so I mainly wore random shorts and t-shirts. Sometimes I accidently ended up wearing some of the boy’s clothes, but they never minded. We had grown closer over the past few months; they had often asked my advice with their songs. However, they’ve been acting really strangely, I haven’t heard any of their rehearsals and they hardly ever spoke about the band. I had the horrible feeling they had split up but didn’t want to ask in case I made a scene and in case I was wrong. Instead I just lived with it. I got a text from mum earlier, telling me she loved me and missed me like crazy. I have been staring at it crying ever since. There was a knock on the door, hopefully my mascara hadn’t run. Sonny walked in and sat next to me,
‘Hey? Are you okay?’ he asked wrapping his arm over my shoulder. I showed him the text ‘I bet you miss them right?’ I nodded, unable to speak. ‘Well I just came up here to tell you that your TV programme starts in five minutes and to give you a present. I saw it today and thought it would suit you’. He pulled a medium-sized box out of his pocket and handed it to me. I opened it and pulled out a small flower clip. It was a pink lily, my favourite flower, and was beautiful. I gave him a kiss on the cheek, ‘thanks’ I mumbled and smiled, feeling a little better.
We headed downstairs and saw Eddie and Té already sitting on the sofa, Britain’s got Talent had just started. I loved talent shows; I loved laughing at the bad ones and crying at the good ones. I loved it when the singers gave me goose-bumps and the dancers put me in awe of their work. It was about halfway through when all of a sudden I screamed at what I saw.
‘You’re on TV!’ I screeched so the boys covered their ears. They spoke to Ant and Dec about Jack Wills and Nandos being the typical cheeky Essex boys I know and love them for. They went out on stage earning screams from the crowd, an instant hit with the ladies as I could see. They sang a song I had helped them write, it was called Love Sick and was really charming and funny. Alesha Dixon loved them. Simon Cowell loved them. All the judges loved them. They were amazing, I was so proud of my boys!
We had a huge group hug when the judges voted them through to the next round. This was totally awesome! Or as Joey Essex would say- REEM! (<--OMG love how this is a real word, was expecting it to be spell checked lol)
‘We have more news’ said Sonny
‘We are playing at a girl’s birthday party tomorrow and wondered if you wanted to come?’ asked Té. I squealed! I’d love to! OMG I was so excited. I couldn’t wait any longer so rushed up to bed; I wanted tomorrow to come quick.
