Our Time Has Come
What?
Ashley's POV
we were finally done judging... For now. We- I mean I still had to judge the couple of bands playing at one of the events. I don't know where, but they'll tell me in the next week, since the tour starts in two weeks and we need to have our schedule set.
I was pumped about the shows. Of course, this is my passion, going all out on stage with the fans chanting our names. It's simply amazing.
I got an email, and I opened it to see a strange message from the organizers. It said that some bands have been so popular that they would be asked to open for a show instead of playing on the small stage. If the were successful with the crowd, they'd advance to another round to compete against the small stage winner, and the winner of that round would compete in a battle of the band to see who would do the tour and sign the record deal. They also asked that whoever wanted one of those bands to open for them to reply, they would then set up the tour schedule accordingly.
Can they do that? Change the rules halfway through the thing? I don't know but I sure seems weird. There must be a couple of freaking awesome bands in there!
It reminded me of some people who had sang our songs. And some of them who's original song was pretty damn good. I wondered If any of them would be in the selection.

"what the.." What do they mean?" "This can't be right" we were speechless. I read the email out loud:
dear Green Barons,
On behalf of the team, we would like to thank you for your submission. Sadly, you weren't selected to be one of the bands to play on this years small band stage. Your videos were incredible, but not quite what we were expecting. Of course, there can't be many expectations when anyone can do anything. But the talent levels were still classified, and you didn't belong in the small band class.
We had worked so hard for that. And we wouldn't get to play on the small stage, and get a chance to follow our dreams. Oh well...
"Re read it. Maybe we missed something!" Jacob said. I did as he asked me. "Scroll down more. I don't think we read it all" David added. And he was right. The next part left me even more speechless, but for a whole different reason.
No, you don't belong in that class. You belonged higher, to a bigger publics view. That is why we would like to invite you to open for a band. Who? We haven't decided yet. But your songs have been so popular that we decided to send you to a higher level. Afterwards, you will compete against the winner of your venues small stage, and if you win, you'll get to compete in a battle of the band, and as you know, the winner gets to sign a record deal.
I was crying by now. This was the best thing that ever happened to me! We all hugged and Michael opened a bottle of champaing he had brought to celebrate. It was an amaizing night. I was happy, proud... It felt amazing. They took turn calling our parents, while I ran up and told my parents.
I invited everyone to stay for the night and they gladly accepted. We played more video games, before going to the music room to play a couple of songs. We ended up playing a set plus some random songs we would think of. We also played a game where one of us would play a part of a song on our instrument and the others had to guess. I got the most answers right. Kinda helps that I have a father and a sister constantly playing songs on the drums and the guitar, while I'd play them on bass and piano.
we fell asleep while watching the avengers. I woke up cuddled to Michael. It don't really bother us, as it happened often. He's one of my best guy friends and I often would go over to his house when I was upset or just needed to talk. We would always end up falling asleep together obvious bed. But there was nothing more between us. He is the Ashley purdy of our band. A man whore. But he never tried anything on me. As much as he slept with girls a lot, he stayed a trustful best friend. Fish has a girlfriend, zach and Hayley are together and I just didn't want a relationship yet, my boyfriend broke up with me a week prior to the day where i find out about the contest, when he cheated on me, and kept lying to me.... Let's just say that Michael, the one you don't want to mess with in the band... He found him... And I don't hear much about the guy since then other than that he was dumped by the other girl and was hospitalized after the fight.
I felt safe in his arms. I was naturally anxious, but he helped me overcome it. It sounds like I like him, but I don't. My dad has the same effect on me, and I wouldn't fall in love with him.
i got up and made waffles and bacon for everyone. They all got up almost at the same time and we ate breakfast together, laughing at our premature reaction of yesterday. Everything was good.

Notes
Sorta short but I had to restart since I didn't really like how it went...Anyways, how do you like Michael? He's one of my favourite characters, and in real life it's the name of one of my best friend who I secretly have a crush on... Although he knows... He figured it out by himself... He's just about the only one who knows though, so I guess it's not that obvious :P
wgat do you think? Ill try to post every day, unless I have writers block or I'm busy... Although I do it all from my phone, so that shouldn't be a problem :)
