Sitting there, guitar in hand, my piano player to my left, drummer behind me, then my bass player to my right. It was going alright. "Now introducing this new band, known by the name "Something to be Proud of." I know its a lame name, but my band had nothing else. I had wrote a song, but I decided I would cover one of my favorite songs. Never Say Never by The Fray. I looked out into the crowd, everyone was here. Allison, Sarah, even Michael... I was so nervous. None of my friends have seen me play yet, only some people out of town when I booked a gig 2 hours away. Now was the time they did, I started out, I hope they enjoy it... Some things we don't talk about Rather do without And just hold the smile Falling in and out of love Ashamed and proud of Together all the while You can never say never While we don't know when But time and time again Younger now than we were before Don't let me go Don't let me go Don't let me go [x2] Picture, you're the queen of everything As far as the eye can see Under your command I will be your guardian When all is crumbling To steady your hand You can never say never While we don't know when Time, time, time again Younger now than we were before Don't let me go Don't let me go Don't let me go [x2] We're pulling apart and coming together again and again We're growing apart but we pull it together, pull it together, together again Don't let me go Don't let me go Don't let me go [x4] Your turn. ^.^
New update! Allison's P.O.V The beauty in his voice ended, as the band walked off stage. I followed them quickly. We all walked into the back stage room. I got on my knees, and screamed, "You guys rocked the house down." George the painter and Ezio laughed slightly. Sarah suddenly slipped herself in, walking quietly behind Ezio, then draping herself around him. I felt jealous. Trying to not to show it, I started a conversation with George. "You really did great." I smiled. "Thanks Ali. Means lots." I couldn't help but hear Sarah. "Ohh Ezio," She moaned, massaging his shoulders. "Come back to my place so we can have some fun. I'm really in a mood." He seemed to ignore her. It annoyed me greatly that he wasn't doing anything about it. "No problem!" I said to George, shining a nice smile. "Pretty smile." He smiled back. His brown baseball cap over his head made his hair poof out when he took it off. I blushed. He blushed. We both looked over at Sarah, pathetically trying to jump on his back with her heals on. "Hey Sarah, you going swimming later, or what?" I said sarcastically, referring to her outfit. George laughed. "No." She said annoyed, pulling the back of what she called a 'skirt' down. "Sarah can you leave." Donny, the bass player demanded. "No. I'm here with Ezio. Isn't that right baby?" She kissed up his neck, eyeing me. "That wasn't a question, it was an order." We laughed. Ezio pushed her away gently. "Can I make a request? For when we get out of this place?" I said, clasping my hands hopefully. "Sure can, Ms." Donny said. "Can you guys take your instruments outdoors? Like in a park?" "Except for the bass, yeah." Ezio piped up. "Do you guys know Better Then Revenge by Taylor Swift?" George smiled to me, then the guys. "I think we can do it." George said.
*Ezio's P.O.V.* As much as I hated Taylor Swift, I knew the whole song because people requested it a lot. I could tell Allison had a bit of a crush on my pianist, so I got into a kind of a player mode. I liked her to much not to do something. "Sarah," I said "after my show, I'd be glad to go to your house." I saw Allison's look as she walked out of the room. Look of total disdain. I walked out on the miniature stage and started playing the song on my acoustic guitar while looking at Allison. I started singing, when I saw Sarah looking at me with smirk. "Just focus" I thought to myself. Here we go... People started singing along, and enjoying the music. I was in a slight heaven. After the show, I walked backstage to see Sarah waiting. "Hey." "Hi Sarah." "Can I make a request?" "Yeah sure, what song?" "You
and me by Lifehouse." "Sure." I said with a smirk. I walked onto stage with my acoustic guitar. "This one is dedicated to Allison." I said as I started playing the song. Sarah looked like she wanted to kill me.
Allison's P.O.V "Sure, Sarah. I'd be happy to go over to your house after the show." My heart crushed. George smiled at me. "Since those two are going out later, wanna hang?" I blushed, "Yeah, sure." I really thought I was going to get Ezio back. I didn't want George. I wanted Ezio. I didn't think he was into that kind of girl, but obviously if that's what he wants, I can't give it to him. I guess I may as well enjoy myself. As the song was over, Ezio and Sarah went to the bench I was at only 4 hours ago. I nodded at George and Donny, as I climbed up on stage with a microphone. "Skater boy?" I whispered to them, Sarah and Ezio started kissing lightly. "Avril Lavigne?" George changed the keyboard setting to Drum kit, and we started. I confidently started singing. I finally got to my favorite part. "He is a skater boy, she said see ya later boy, he wasn't good enough for her." We finished as the crowd freaked. I smiled. "What next?" I asked our small audience. "Can you rap?" A guy asked. "Heck ya, I can!" Donny laughed as he set down his bass, and came up with the second mic. "How about love the way you lie by eminem?" He asked, his sparkly white teeth shining. I couldn't help but notice Ezio and Sarah really getting into it. What was his point in doing that? Make me guilty? Hurt me? We started. "I can't tell you what it really is I can only tell you what it feels like and right now there's a steel knife in my windpipe I can't breath but I still fight while I can fight, as long as the wrong feels right it's like I'm in flight! High off love, drunk from the hate, the more I suffer, I suffocate. Before I'm about to drowned she recucitates me, she freaking hates me, and I love it, wait! Where you going? I'm leaving you, no you ain't! Come back, we're running right back here we go again.. We trailed off rapping our hearts out, claps and whistles from the audience. When the song finished, I looked behind me again. I noticed Ezio and Sarah were gone. 'back to her place' I guessed. A tear dropped from my eye.. "One more song? Please?" I asked Donny. The audience clapped. "MARRY YOU! MARRY YOU!" We gave in, and we rocked. At the end of the song, everybody left the park. It was about 10:30 PM. Mom was at a business trip until next Tuesday, so she didn't have to know. I helped pack up the rest of the stuff, as I and George left together. He offered me his sweater, and I took it. "Thanks." I muffled. "That was pretty awesome!" He kicked his leg up and whistled. "It's getting late.. And my place is about an hour away. Can I just stay at your place tonight?"
We got to Sarah's place, I knew what she wanted. I was NOT gonna give it to her. "Why don't you come in bed with me, and we can have some fun?" "Why don't you stop being such a ***** and step off." "Excuse me?" "I only walked you home because you're drunk. The kissing was me vengeful for Allison flirting with my pianist. It was a mistake." I walked out and slammed the door. I got called, I answered. "Hey, this is the Manager for the cafe you just played at." "Yeah, so?" "That second act you brought up, whoever she was, we want you two to perform together." "Are you serious?" "Yeah, everyone customer stayed just to watch you two. We are willing to offer 500$ to perform." "I can't do that, I have people I need to pay." "$1000." "Done." I hung up. I called Allison. "Hello?" She said. "Hey, I have to talk to you." Your turn.
