Give Me A Sign, I Want To Believe
You've Been Off... Are You Okay?
I woke up the next morning with Allyson curled up, sleeping into my chest. I smiled at how cute she looked.
Jake, calm yourself. You just met the girl last night. She’s only seventeen. You just broke up with Ella two weeks ago. Don’t rebound this girl. The guys don’t even know about the break up. Take things slow. If you rush into things you’ll be the reason she’s at the bottom of a lake. I shook my head of those thoughts and checked my phone. 2 texts from Feldy and Ash and twitter notifications. Our producer John Feldman wanted me to come to the studio again today around 12 to go over the songs we have. Ash asked me if I wanted anything from star bucks and I said no. I looked through the twitter notifications and replied to some fans before waking up Ally since it was 9 and traffic sucks in LA.
“Allyson. Wake up. We’ve got to go.” She mumbled in response.
“Ally we need to get ready.”
“But I don’t wanna go. It’s comfy here. Can’t we have a lazy day?” I laughed at her response.
“Come on, let’s get up. I need to be at the studio soon.”
“Oh yeah, you’re in a band. Sorry.” She hid her face in the pillow as I got up.
“It’s okay, I get that way sometimes too.”
“Alright well I’ll let you get dressed in here. Where’s the bathroom?”
“There’s one right there by the closet and another by the living room.” She thanked me and went into the bathroom in my room and got dressed. I changed into black jeans, and an I Hate BVB shirt and my black slip on vans. Ally came out dressed and ready to go. I handed her one of my sweaters and a few I <3 BOOBIES bracelets. She thanked me and put them on.
“You ready?”
“Yes. Do you think the guys will mind that I’m there?”
“not at all. Jinxx used to bring Sammi whenever she wasn’t on tour while we recorded. Jinxx is our rhythm guitarist, violinist, and pianist for the band.”
“Interesting. Who else is there?”
“Andy our lead singer and the founder of the band, Ashley our bass player, careful he’s what we call a man whore he loves women and flirts with them, and then there’s Christian Coma, a.k.a CC, our drummer.”
“Okay…”
“By the way Andy is really tall and CC is extremely hyper. Just letting you know now.”
“Thanks. At least I know now.” Ally smiled and we drove to the studio. We got there at 11 and the guys were all there. I held Ally’s hand so she wouldn’t be as nervous. She squeezed my hand when she saw the guys.
“Hey guys.”
“Hey Jake!” CC said.
“Who’s the girl?” Andy furrowed his eyebrow.
“This is Allyson. She’s a friend of mine. Hope you don’t mind her staying.”
“Not at all she seems pretty cool. Your hair is awesome.” Ashley smiled. Ally smiled back.
“Hi Allyson, I’m Jinxx.” Jinxx waved. Ally waved back. The rest of the guys introduced themselves and went to the recording booth.
“What’s today’s agenda boss?” I asked Feldy.
“Well Jake, we’re going to listen to New Years Day, Days Are Numbered, Wretched and Divine and Revelation. Then I’m going to need you and Jinxx to figure out some guitar lead into the solo for Wretched and Divine. CC, if we like Days Are Numbered we won’t need to redo the drums for it.”
“Sounds like a plan.” CC shot his thumbs up in agreement. We started to listen to Days Are Numbered and decided that CC should redo the drumming because it wasn’t working out.
“CC I can help you with the drumming. I actually took drumming as my music elective.” Ally whispered as she fumbled with the bracelet I gave her.
“Really? That’d be awesome.” CC smiled as he took Ally to the drum kit in the booth.
“Jake do you think you and Jinxx can go and find a lead into the solo for Wretched and Divine?”
“Sure. Jinxx?”
“Let’s go.” Jinxx and I went into the guitar room. We plugged in our guitars to a few practice amps.
“What if you play high noted and then I come in with notes on the G string and then start the solo?” Jinxx asked and then showed me.
“That works out perfectly. I don’t think I would’ve come up with that.” Jinxx nodded.
“Jake are you alright? You’ve suddenly stopped talking about Ella and now you’ve brought a girl in who we’ve never met. Not that I’m against her it just seems like you’re off.” I sighed. I knew this was coming.
“Ella and I broke up two weeks ago. She was offered a modeling job in the UK and she’d have to permanently live there. I told her to go after the job since it was a rare opportunity. I had to break it off with her. It hurt to do it but I didn’t want to hold her back. I met Allyson last night. She was in a tree burning herself. If I didn’t spot her she would’ve killed herself. Please don’t tell the guys yet or tell Allyson I told you that. She’s pretty shaken up and I don’t think she really trusts anyone but me right now. She’s only seventeen and from the few things I know about her she doesn’t seem to have a great past.”
“I’m sorry to hear about you and Ella. Jake, please do me this one favor. DON’T REBOUND HER. If anything make sure you protect her. I can see in her eyes there’s a lot more going on in her life than she’ll tell you. She’s hurting Jake, and you need to make sure you heal her.”
“I’ll do my best Jinxx. It’s just she was so broken last night. She wanted to burn herself and die. I couldn’t stand it. I’m guarding her with my life if it means that I have to die to keep her alive, I’ll take that chance.”
“Seems like you really care about her.”
“I do.”
“Let’s see if CC finished recording.” We walked in and CC had just came out of the booth with Ally. I sat on the couch and Ally sat next to me.
“Jinxx figured out a lead into the solo. So you can thank him for that.”
“Awesome. Let’s hear it.” Jinxx and I went into the booth and played the whole song with the lead Jinxx came up with.
“Sounds great. Jinxx you are a mastermind. The lead in is simple yet, unique. Perfect.” Jinxx and I laughed and walked out of the booth.
“Ally is a drum master. She almost better than me!” CC exclaimed.
“I’m not that good.”
“Yes you are!” Andy yelled. Ally blushed and hid her face in her hands. I walked up to her and crouched down so we were eye level. I took her hands off of her face and smiled at her.
“A pretty and talented girl like you shouldn’t hide her cute face and be proud of her talent.” I whispered and she smiled.
“I’m not a big fan of attention. But thank you for the compliments.”
“You’re welcome. It’s okay to not be a big fan of attention. I was like that before I joined BVB.”
“Really?”
“Yes really. But be proud of your talent not everyone has that kind of potential. I hope CC didn’t try to show off too much.”
“Haha he did but it’s okay. He seems like a nice funny guy.”
“Haha, he’s a lot more crazier than this usually.”
“Well I think now that we’ve finished the recordings, we’re done. I just need to mix and finalize a few more songs and we’re good as gold. This was awesome working with you guys.” Feldy said.
“Let’s go out for dinner then.” Andy suggested.
“Let’s go.” Everyone got into their cars and drove to a sushi bar about an hour away from the studio. We all chatted while we ate and took a few photos before we left. We said bye to John Feldman and drove home.
“Looks like its back to touring again.” I joked.
“What’s it like?”
“Fun. The showers don’t work most of the tour. We usually shower if we stay in a hotel. The shows are awesome and the fan response is amazing.”
“Sounds like an amazing experience. I’ll be stuck in school praying that it goes by fast.”
“What if you came on tour with us and you were a merch girl or like a make-up assistant?”
“I don’t know Jake. I’ve got school and my mom.”
“Get the school to give you the work you need to do and either mail or email it to them. I’m sure you’re mom won’t mind. We can go see her tomorrow if you want.”
“I guess I can come.”
“Awesome!” We got home and sat on the couch. Trixy came in and sat on Allyson’s lap.
“Well Jake why don’t you tell me a little about yourself.”
“Well my full name is Jake Pitts. Trixy’s my dog. I play guitar, bass and drums. BVB is the best job ever. I have a YouTube channel and I post some Ermm. What else do you want to know?”
“Personal life. Like, school experiences, past girlfriends if you want, childhood”
“Okay. Well I was a big Crue and Metallica fan growing up so I wore those band shirts. I got picked on for liking them and when I told kids that I was going to be a rock star they’d laugh in my face. I managed to get through high school and go to college to be a sound/ audio engineer. So not only do I help my band I work on other bands’ things to fix their instrumentals. I’ve had a few past girlfriends. I just recently broke up with one who I thought I was going to marry. Her name was Ella. She’s a UK model and about two weeks ago she was offered a new modeling job hat required her to permanently live in the UK. This was a rare opportunity so I told her to take it. I had to let her go and just break up with her so I didn’t hold her back. I loved her so much and it hurt to do it. She was just as hurt as me the day she left but we both agree it’s for the best. I miss her but I know I need to move on.”
“Jake, I didn’t know that. That’s a brave and hard decision to make. I’m surprised at how well you stood up to those people at school.”
“You learn a lot when you talk with someone. Well what about you Ally? Do mind sharing some of your personal life and some history about yourself? I promise whatever is said here stays here.” She smiled a bit before she spoke.
“Get cozy because it might be a while.” We walked to my room and sat on my bed while Ally started talking.
Jake, calm yourself. You just met the girl last night. She’s only seventeen. You just broke up with Ella two weeks ago. Don’t rebound this girl. The guys don’t even know about the break up.
