  note:this fragile story contains no slash. you won't find any of that here.
  
  I sat there and wept. Wallowing in self hatred is an ugly thing. Contemplating whether or not I should as i clutched that rusty razor so tightly.
  Things were so different back then. I wanted to end it all. To end my life. Looking back on that terrifying evening that changed my life forever as i carried Flum to our van gave me a sense of accomplishment. This band had saved my life.Flum, by the way, is my guitar. My beautiful daisy rock stratocaster that I baby as if it were my child. I set her down and slid her underneath my rickety wooden bunk. "Why cram it up here with us when there's a perfectly good trailer for it?" asked Hailey. Hailey is the rhythm guitarist of my band. We met through our brothers who played football together. We liked the same bands, had the same interests and even had the same name. Although mine was spelled H-A-Y-L-E-Y. I gave her a somewhat annoyed look. Now why in the bloody hell would i want to put my baby where i could not see her? and why would Hailey refer to her as "it"? I am a firm believer that when something is held so close to you the majority of the time and makes your living, it deserves some damn personification. Having explained this to my fellow bandmate many times already, she simply shrugged and put her stuff in the trunk. We were setting off on our very first, very low-budget tour ever. In a volkswagon "hippie van" with a small equipment trailor in tow, we were about to embark on the most significant adventure of our lives. Although, we didn't yet know it.

  why is nobody reading my story? well here is part 2...
  
  [size=18]I took my spot in the back window seat. Mandi, being the oldest and the only one with a license was at the wheel. That's right. The rest of us were at the mere age of fifteen, except for Hailey who was, in fact, only twelve. But a far better guitar player than me. My mom had taught me how to drive but i didn't even have my permit yet. This day was the eleventh of June in the year 2007.
  We got all our stuff packed into the trunk and in the trailor. We were going on a trip to California to audition for a much bigger record label than what we were already signed to. It was a small, untitled record company that was just my cousin's small recording studio. We were our own managers and had developed a fanbase in our hometowns. We were on our way to a small mediocre show for unsigned bands to show up and play and free show for a bunch of teenagers. Some would get signed, some wouldn't. There were going to be so many record labels there looking for some new artists. We were psyced.
  "So when do you guys wanna eat?" asked Mandi from the driver's seat as we entered the freeway. The clock read 9:02 am. "Well we should grab some lunch when we get over the bridge." I said. "Yeah I'll definately be hungry by then." said Amanda in the front passenger seat. We eventually got over the bridge and grabbed some food from Taco Bell. We just kept on driving until we were too tired to keep going. We were somewhere in Oregon by this time. We checked into a shitty motel and went to sleep.
  I woke the next morning in that smelly hotel bed around 6:15am. We should be leaving if we wanna make it to the show on time. We were five hours away and the show started at 6pm. I yawned as I got out of bed. I walked into the bathroom and brushed my teeth. I brushed my long black hair and straigtened it. Mandi was waking up in the other bed. I threw on my black and grey boy shorts over black and white striped leggings. I put on a hot pink tank top with lace at the bottom and my doc. martins. Everyone else got up and we set off again.
  
  [sorry so short!! I promise the next one will be exciting!]

  ok part 3...
  
  We got to the venue in California around 4pm. There were about four other bands there. Only one "chick" band besides us. Mandi signed us in and we unloaded our equpiment behind the stage. "You ladies are up thrid." said some dude by the door. We waited around and practiced until 6pm, when the first band played. We decided to stand out in the crowd until a half hour before our turn to play. Each band got to play for an hour. The first band kind of sucked. It was nothing but screaming and every once in a while, a catchy guitar solo. Nothing very artistic. The second band was actually pretty good. They were like good old underground punk. I liked them. It was time for us to get ready. We made our way backstage and got our insturments in tune and plugged in.
  "Alright kids. This is a band from Seattle, WA. Put your hands together for 'Wretched'" the anouncer said. Yes, our band's name is 'Wretched'. The lights were down as Amanda played her opening riffs to our song 'Beneath The Skin'. Surprisingly, the crowd went insane. They really seemed to dig it. We played for the hour and closed our portion of the show with our craziest, most energetic song 'My boyfriend Is A Supervillian'. I blew the crowd a kiss and we ran backstage. We all exchanged high-fives. "Something special is happening. I just know it." said Dawna. "True that." we heard an unfamilliar voice behind us. We turned around to see a man with a suit and tie. Surely he worked for a record company. "You girls put on a mindblowing performance out there." he said seriously. "Well thank you sir. We try." said Amanda. "Yeah the music is just phenominal. And the vocals aren't bad either." he said. I smiled graciously and accepted his compliment. "How would you ladies feel about being a part of Reprise Records?" he said. Our jaws dropped and my heart skipped a beat.
