The Interveiw
Late December 2010
Ally's P.O.V.
I was freaking out.I was on my way to some music manager, i was going to audition for backing music for a new band that was just about to go on tour. I didnt know that much about the band just that they debuted their single earlier that year.I was confident, i mean i sent in a tape of me playing the guitar with a song i made up my self, and they must have liked it otherwise they wouldn't have invited me in for an interview.
I tried to find the building that i had written down on a scrap of paper.i didnt have a clue were i was going. i was hopeless when it came to big cities, and London was my definition of a big city. after what seemed like hours of wandering around London I reached the building.
I stopped dead in my tracks, the building was huge. we had nothing like that in Scotland.I was suddenly more nervous. i shifted my guitar into a more comfortable position on my shoulders and walked through the front doors.
The reception room was very,brightly lit. i walked up to the desk,where a highly manicured woman was sitting behind tapping away at a computer.
I cleared my throat "Em, sorry, i have appointment with Jayne Collins"
still typing away the woman asked "What time?"
"Half past eleven" i replied staring at her trying to get her to look up.
"Well take a seat then, it's only quarter past."
I took a seat on the retro chairs,very uncomfortable. i flipped throught out-dated magazines that were on the coffee table, and kept looking at the clock.
I was becoming more impatient as time wore on. The clock had hit ten to twelve and there was no sign of me going into my interview yet.
When the clock hit twelve and the door flung open and five guys walked out laughing closely followed by a pretty woman. she was tall for a woman, wavy ginger hair, and an air of importance about her but she also had a kind face.
The five guys on the other hand were completely different. One was bald, built fairy good, was laughing at something a guy with jet black hair and many scars had said. two were talking to each other, one looked the youngest maybe sixteen or seventeen was messing about with a guy who had a chiselledd jaw line he looked like he was a model. Walking behind them was a tall guy, who had really dute curly hair, and was messing about with the guy who looked the youngest, by throwing up his hood and just kept doing it over and over again. I had to smile at it. He caught me smiling and winked at me. I smiled again and looked away.
"Ally Simpson?" The woman i assumed was jayne asked
"Em yes, sorry" i stood up to shake her hand.
"I'm terriblely sorry about that. The boys just keep talking and talking." she explained.
We walked into her office which felt more at home than the reception.
"We loved your audition tape" she told me.
"thanks" i mumbled, blushing.
"Is that song an original?" she asked.
"Yes, it is. I wrote it years ago" I told her, blushing more.
"Well we think that you are---what Jay?" Jayne said as the curly haired one poked his head in toward the door.
"Hi Jayne." he said rubbing is neck awkwardly.
"Jayne! can we see the potential musician." someone called from behind the door.
my eyes widened.
"No!" she said back.
"PLEASE" a chorus of five began.
"do you mind?"
i shook my head.
"Fine" she said to the guys.
They all piled in to the small room. i was becoming more red by the minute.
"Lets watch the audition tape" the youngest one said .
No i thought i hated watching my self sing, just like some actors dont like watching their own films. they truned on a VCR and i appeared on the screen.Oh my god! i looked horrid.
"Cos when the heart breaks no it dont break even even even,
What am i suppose to do when the best part of me was always you,
I'm falling to pieces."
I was as red as a tomato by now. i shrunk into my seat.
"That was really good,kid!" the bald one said.
i smiled back.
"well i think its settled then. you have the approval of the band.Congrats, welcome to the team."Jayne announced.
"I'm Max"the bald one said,smiling.
"Nathan" the youngest introduced.
"Tom, mate" the one with the scars said.
"Siva" the model smiled at me.
"And i'm Jay" the curly haired, blued eyed one winked at me.
I nodded and smiled at all of them. Ihad a feeling that this was going to get interesting.
