I looked at the venue we were auditioning at... It looked kind of sketchy, I'm not going to lie. The guy, I don't remember his name, I don't even think I read it, texted Jaime the address. And when we pulled up, I made him double check the address like 5 times. We were at an abandoned stage. Like what? Is this even legal?

We walked up with our cases and knocked on the side door. A tan guy, with straight hair and brown eyes opened the door. He looked kind of familiar, but I don't know where I know him from...

"Are you the guys that I talked to earlier?" he asked, his voice was also familiar. This is going to bug me.

"Yeah," Jaime answered, "I'm Jaime and this is Tony." I smiled and waved slightly,

"Well I'm Vic!" he exclaimed, "I'm the vocalist. I also play guitar, but we need someone to play lead if I play back up. And my brother plays drums."

This situation seems really familiar to me. Like what the fuck? Deja vu? Or something more?

"That sounds good," Jaime said casually, "I play bass and Tony plays guitar."

"Ok," Vic said, "Well you guys can come inside, my brother and our manager are waiting by one of the stages where you guys can do your thing. Since you said on the phone you two already play together in a band you can audition together."

"Sounds good!" Jaime exclaimed.

We followed him into the building, it looked really old and classic. I couldn't help but walk a bit slower to appreciate the detailing. It was really beautiful. We made our way to a deserted stage. Standing in the pit were two other guys, one of them was tall and thin, the other was short and chubby. I assumed the tall one was Vic's brother because the short one looked nothing like Vic.

The tall one looked really harsh and a bit intimidating. But when he laughed at something the short guys said, his face softened. He was really thin, but he was also muscular. He had long, dark hair, with a shaved section by his face. All together he was pretty attractive, I'm not going to lie.

The short one was stalky and a bit chubby. He was short blonde hair and a chubby face. His voice boomed when he spoke.

"Here we are," Vic said, "My brother's the taller one," So I was right, "And our manager's the short one. Guys! This is Jaime and Tony, they're auditioning!"

They both looked over and smiled at us. Something about Vic's brother's smile made my heart beat faster. It looked so familiar. I looked at his face, making eye contact for a brief moment. Something about his eyes brought up memories from high school.

Flashback;

"Tony!" Mike complained, "You don't have to baby me. I want you to enjoy your summer!"

"But I want to darling!" I exclaimed, "I'd rather be with you, I want you to be happy."

He smiled widely at me and gazed into my eyes. I could get lost in them, they were so big and brown. I kissed his forehead before leaving the room to get Mike's medicine.

I shook away the memory, I don't want to think about him right now. Even though it's been 3 years, the memories of our relationship still haunt me...

I looked back at Vic's brother, he was focused on something Vic was saying to him. The look on his face was weird, he looked really uncomfortable.

Jaime grabbed my arm and pulled me on to the stage. We got our instruments out and played a few scales, we had tunes them before we left, but it's always nice to check. For some reason, I was really nervous. I'm not sure why though, I'm only doing this for Jaime, I really don't care rather I make it or not... It would be nice though I guess.

"Ok we're ready when you guys are!" Jaime exclaimed.

Vic gave him the thumbs up and we started playing. The song was 'Dance, Dance' one of my favorites.

---

When the song ended the three guys stood up and clapped. I looked at Jaime and smiled, he gave me high five before turning to Vic and the others.

"That was really good guys," The short guy said, "You two sound nice together. The next step of the audition is to play with these two. We'll be giving you a recorded demo of an origonal song that Vic wrote, and we'll meet here tomorrow at the some time and you four can jam."

Vic ran up to the stage and gave us each a CD, they were labeled 'PTV demo; CK+MB' That's a weird song name...

"I wrote and recorded that song when I was a senior in highscholl 3 years ago," he said, "So it isn't very good... It actually doesn't have a bass part yet... But I'm sure you can manage that much. I do want to keep the guitar solo at the end a solo. Sort of as a tribute to the guy who wrote it, I really wanted him to be here, but life got in the way I guess."

Jaime nodded and said something else to Vic, but I wasn't really paying attention. I let my mind wonder to my own senior year, when Trigger played battle of the bands...

I let out a sigh, recalling the good times, when we all got along. Now we hardly speek to each other when we don't have to. I can't help but wonder where things went wrong...

"Let's go Tony!" Jaime exclaimed happily, grabbing my shoulder.

He led me out of the building and to the car.

"I think that went really well! I can't wait to listen to their song," he said as he drove away. I can't either...

Notes
