RACHEL'S POV

The days that lead up to the meeting with the label were horrid. After the cemetery, I couldn't help but think that what Tony said was all sweet nothings to calm me. We had only been going out for a week, and he had promised so much that it seemed unbelievable. The nightmares persisted, but this time they were a little different.

Hopping off the chair, I opened the door of the kitchen and made my way out into the hall. Squinting my eyes, I tried to figure out where the end was - a black shadow had overcast half of the hallway. Walking towards it, I began to feel the heat against my face. I could hear the ringing of someone whispering 'I promise'. The darkness grew, soon engulfing me, and whispers turned to blood curdling screams. I clutched my ears and squeezed my eyes shut, the screeches continued. Hearing the faint sound of my mother laughing, I picked up my pace and ran deeper into the endless darkness. 'Rachel, sweety?' she said, and I could almost smell her lavender perfume. Her voice began to fade and, despite my efforts, I couldn't find it again. I slumped down to the floor and began to cry. The darkness was cold; the lack of sound was terrifying; there was no sense of comfort; I was alone. I felt pressure on my hands, as if someone was holding them. I opened and closed them and there was no hand, but it really felt as though there was. The feeling moved to my neck and then I felt as though I was giving someone a hug, but there was nobody there.

TONY'S POV

'It's today,' exclaimed Vic, 'it's freaking today!'

'Are you nearly ready to go?' laughed Mike, putting all the documents we needed into a briefcase.

'Yeah, just let me grab something,' he replied, running back into his room.

I stood up from the couch and zipped up my hoodie. Adjusting my hat, I went to the door of the dorm and leaned against the wall, waiting for the others. Feeling my phone vibrate, I pulled it out to see that I had one new message.

From: Rae
Good luck today, they're going to be begging for you guys to sign! Call me when you're out.

Smiling, I slid my phone back in my pockets and stepped aside to let Jaime out the door. Following him, the other boys exited behind me and we made our way to the car.

Clambering into Mike's car, we all laughed merrily as he pulled out of the parking lot and went on to the motorway. It was safe to say that we were all nervous, but the excitement was stronger. My leg bounced for the whole ride and I was fixing my had every 10 seconds.

'There's a car park,' pointed out Vic, and Mike followed his finger to a lot hidden round the corner of a shop. Turning, we slowed and went into the tiny parking lot behind the store. We all became extremely nervous as soon as he killed the ignition - this is really happening.

Finding the building, we all looked at each other anxiously before entering. Taking a seat with Vic and Mike, Jaime went up and stated our names. It was only a matter of minutes before we were being called through.

We went through big tinted glass doors and into a large office. An average sized man sat behind a large glass desk at the window. His leather seat swung right to left as she watched us enter and take our seats. 'Hi Mr Hudson, I'm Vic. This is Jaime, Tony and Mike.'

'Pierce The Veil?, yes?'

'That's correct.'

'Well, I've listened to your demo and it's good. Really good.' The man leaned forward and pulled something out of a folder. 'How would you feel about singing a contract with us?'

'What would it entail?'

'Well, first of all, you'd get your first album out. It will all happen here in California. Then, once that's out, we'll put you on this summer's Warped tour and anything else we can find. The contract will last for a year and if all goes well, we can always renew it at the end.'

'Warped,' I said under my breathe, taken away by how amazing it all was.

'So? Are you up for it?'

'Of course,' said Vic, taking to his feet and giving Mr Hudson documents out of the briefcase. The man took the papers and filed them, and we all glanced in each other in disbelief.

---

'Yes! We did it!' Shouted Jaime as soon as we burst out the doors of the building.

'This is insane,' I laughed into my palms, unable to comprehend what just happened.

'I'm gonna call my Mum,' said Jaime.

'Shit,' mumbled Mike, 'we freaking did it.'

'We did,' smiled Vic, rubbing his hands together.

'I'm gonna call Rachel,' I said, holding back like Jaime so that the groups excitement couldn't be heard over the phone.

'Tony!' She chimed. 'How did it go?'

'We start recording our album next week and then, once it's out, we're going to Warped!'

I took the phone away from my ear a little as Rachel screamed down the line. 'That's brilliant! I am so proud of you.'

'Thanks, Rae. I love you.'

'Love you too,' she said quietly.

'Okay, I better go. I'll see you later!'

Hanging up, I discarded any thoughts as to why Rachel suddenly went so quiet and practically skipped back to the car with the others.

We did it.
