Two weeks later
Michael's POV
"Michael! Wake the fuck up! Seriously, get your ass up right now!" Tyler yelled while jumping on me, scaring the living shit out of me. "Dude, it's like early." I said while sitting up and stretching. "It's one in the afternoon. " Tyler replied, clearly not amused.
"I have something to tell you and you can't get mad at me..." Oh gosh, I can only imagine... "I just got off the phone with... someone. And this could potentially change our lives forever."
"Well who the hell was it?"
"Rise Records... They want to sign us, and I agreed." No. Effing. Way. My jaw dropped. "Now, before you go ballistic on me-"
"Ballistic?! Tyler, I'm ecstatic!" I said while standing up, hugging Tyler and jumping around like a girl. Finally, the day has come where I can spend the rest of my career with Tyler, the person I love most in this world.
Wait...
Did I really just admit that?
Tyler's POV
As Michael jumped around hugging me, it became more and more apparent... I know what I want in life... "Dude you can stop now. I mean, I'm excited too but it's just me. Not that much to be excited about..." I said and as soon as I did, he gave me the death look. "Of course there's that much to be excited about. I get to tour with my best friend! That's awesome!"
"Well, it's not just going to be you and me. The person from Rise told me that we should start scouting for other band members. They requested using Youtube to find people."
"Alright, let's start now!" Michael replied with more excitement in his voice than ever.

After hours of searching, we finally hit the jack pot. "Dude, look." Michael said "It's, like, this group of guys that post covers of songs but just the instrumentals. They need vocalists. Their names are Ben, Austin, Cory, and Kevin. Dude, hit them up, they're everything we need!"
So, I got their business inquiries and emailed them this: 'Hey guys! My name is Derek Tyler Carter and my partner, Michael Bohn, and I noticed you are in need of vocalists. We have recently been signed to Rise Records. They told us that they will record and release anything we make as long as we find a whole band and we think you guys are perfect! Please get back to me if you are interested. Thanks!' Within five minutes, we got a reply.
"Michael, they replied!!!" I yelled, waking Michael up from his nap.
"Stop being a little shit and read it!" He yelled back
"Ok ok. It says 'Hey Tyler and Michael! We are definitely interested in making something with you guys!' HOLY SHIT DUDE! W..WE HAVE BAND!" I basically screamed at the top of my lungs. "No shit! Keep reading!!!" Michael yelled back.
"'We noticed you are based out of the Atlanta area and we aren't too far from Atlanta, only about a forty-five minute drive. When do you think we can meet up and discuss things in person? We are definitely looking forward to working with you and Michael in the near future!' Dude, this-this is sick! I can't believe this!" I said and, as I did, I finally did the thing I have been waiting to do...
