Band Try Outs ((OPEN))

[Alexia Elizabeth Lucine]

Lexy unlocked the door to the little studio she had rented. It was originally just a small shop in a strip mall. She had saved up the money over the last few years to rent the small shop as well as for sound proofing equipment and for instruments. She had been saving the money since she was 16 and had terrible stories to tell of what work she had to go through to save the money. Finally she had a practice space for her band...now she just needed one thing...the band. She sat down in a chair and opened her guitar case on the table and took it out. She began strumming and singing a song that she wrote about the things she had gone through.

Madison smiled. She wanted to be in a band for quite awhile but hadn't really had much time to do it. She grabbed her guitar and walked out the door it was going to be an interesting time. Getting in the car she smiled, she was very excited.

Parking, she walked into the place that it was at. looking around she spotted lexy, who she hadn't seen in quite awhile. "Lexy?" she asked coming over to her. "Hey it's been awhile how have you been?" She had only just moved here a couple of months ago. She loved New York.

Lexy looked up to she her best friend whom she had not seen since she moved to New York 2 years ago. "Oh my god! Maddy!!!" she said excitedly. She stood up and ran over and hugged her. "I know! It's been..." she thought about it. "Wow, 2 years!" She leaned against the table. "I am so sorry I have not kept in touch, I went through a lot of stuff my first year here and just finally got back on track." She said not sure if she should tell Maddy about what all happened at the moment. She made a mental note to get Maddy's new number so they could get together and hang out soon. "When did you move in to town?" she asked happily. "Rafe and Eddie moved her with me, they actually are my roommates right now. Maybe after this, if you're not busy I could take you back to the apartment so you can see them again! I know they'll be glad to see you, they have had a lot to deal with from me and I bet a friendly face that they won't be afraid to flirt with would be good for them." She said jokingly.

Maddie hugged her back just as excitedly. “Wow two years?” she said, her smile going wider. “I cant believe it’s been that long.” she said, getting rather excited. “I have been quite busy myself I have only been here for two months and before that I was getting ready to move here. It took a lot of work and time so I really didn’t keep in touch with anyone. Though Zav got a hold of me a couple weeks ago. Apparently he lives in New York too.” she said. “I’m defiantly not busy!” she said, rather happily she would love it if She seen Rafe. Before they all split up to go their own ways they had been on the verge of dating. She sighed. And got a nervous look on her face. “How are they?” she asked hoping Lex still new her well enough to understand what she meant.

"Yeppers!" Lexy said about the two years. "I'm glad to hear you have been busy, I have let a lot of people down in the past couple of years, and I seriously don't want to hear I've let someone else down." She gave a laugh to keep the mood light. "Oh wow really? I think I heard he moved here a couple of years ago, but it didn't even occur to me that he was still here when we moved out here. We'll have to get him together with us all too. I don't think I've seen him or talked to him in around 4 or 5 years." she said thinking. "That's great! I know that I'd love to hang out with you and I know they seriously would. We've been talking about trying to get a hold of you and Zav somehow but we've all been busy and never got the chance to. I am not as busy anymore and now that we all are in town I know the guys can make time." She laughed. She got serious. "Eddie is good, especially now that I've been fixed." she laughed. "And Rafe, well, he's been missing you like crazy. Especially now that he has nothing else on his mind. He hasn't even dated anyone over here." She gave Maddie a sort of nudge on the shoulder to basically say Rafe was all hers. She smiled.

“Yeah you haven’t let me down. I was as much as fault as you. I haven’t called you either have I?” she said, looking around. “Yeah he’s defiantly here.” she said, “We all defiantly need to get together. It will be like old times. Back in high school it was the best times of my life.” she said. Getting rather excited about it. “So there the same old Eddie and Rafe then always flirting?” she said, she was sad that she had lost track with them all. They were pretty much inseparable during high school. She blushed a bit at the Rafe comment. “I’ve missed him crazily too. All you guys really.” she said, smiling at Lexy again. “It’s so crazy that we all moved to NYC!” she said.

[Alexia Elizabeth Lucine]

"Well no you haven't, but you probably wouldn't have been able to get a hold of me during the last year. I was being really stupid and ended up losing almost everything, including my cell phone." She said feeling horrible about losing contact with her best friend. "Same here. I hated the actual school part of it, but us all hanging out after...and sometimes during, school." She laughed and then continued. "Was awesome." She laughed again. "Oh yeah, both of them can't stop it's like a disease for them. But they're a little more mature than they used to be about the flirting." She laughed. "I know it! But this is great, it means we can hang out again. This time we can all legally drink." She laughed.

[madison olivia barker]

“Yeah, that sucks. I loose a lot of things too.” she said, smirking. She sighed though Loosing in contact with her friend was something that she didn’t enjoy. “Yeah the school part wasn’t at all fun, but hanging out as.. Specially with the boys.” she said, raising her eye brow wondering in Lexy still harbored a crush on Eddie. She didn’t ask though. “Not me yet.. I’m a baby still only twenty.” she laughed. BUT I have a fake ID just like old times.” she said, smirking. “So anyone else supposed to be here or did you just put up the fliers or something.” she asked. She wasn't to sure. "What kind of instrument or what ever are you going to do. I do play guitar and sing a bit." she said, "I don't know if I ever told you that?" she said, it was formed in sort of a question.

[Alexia Elizabeth Lucine]

"Oh yeah, they've always been a riot to hang with. Now that I'm a good girl...minus drinking of course, we've been hanging out a lot in the apartment drinking and having fun." Lexy thought for a minute. "Oh that's right, sorry the new year had me counting your age wrong." she smiled. "Well, I put them up a few days ago, didn't know for sure if everything would be ready in time so I waited until the last possible moment to put up flyers." Lexy smiled. "I knew you sang, didn't know you played guitar though!" she was excited, she loved making music and had barely been able to sleep the night before out of excitement. "I am not sure if anyone else will come or not, hopefully they will though. Rafe and, or Eddie might be dropping by to listen in later though. They said they weren't sure if they would be able to but I'm sure they'll probably show up at some point." Lexy put her feet up on the table and relaxed. "Well, I dabble a bit in just about everything. I can play a little piano or keyboard, and the drums, though not nearly well enough to play them for the band. My specialty is guitar and bass, basically I just want to sing. I want to be the lead singer, and then I figured if we don't get a bassist I'll play bass, and if we have a bass player and only one guitar player, I would play rhythm. Otherwise I'm sticking to singing."

“Ohh sounds fun,.” she smirked raising her eyebrow. “What kind of fun…” she laughed, lexy knew she was only joking.. That’s how they did it. “Yup.. I’m the youngin here.” she said, shrugging. Her birthday had been early and she got put in with the older kids when she was in kindergarten so she was always the youngest there. “Oh well lucky I seen a flier then. I’m glad too that means I get to play again. I haven’t in such a long time. I miss it.” she said, “I can also do back up if you need me.. I don’t really like to be the center of attention but I’m sure you know that already.” she said, smirking. “I got ahold of Marcus he said he might come.. He was learning to play the drums but I don’t know if he’s good enough for a band yet. I’m not even sure if he’s interested. Who knows with that boy.” she said, shrugging.

[Alexia Elizabeth Lucine]

Lexy smiled, "That'll be great! Rafe and Eddie won't be of too much help with this band, I think. We'll have to ask them when the come but I'm pretty sure that neither of them know how to play any instruments." She said thoughtfully. "Anyway, I can't wait to get this started. I put a lot of money into converting this strip mall store into a small studio, didn't know when I would finally have enough money to do it, but I got a lot of help from Eddie and Rafe, and the bookshop owner I work for." She smiled.

[Edward Reese Davidson]

Eddie looked at the address on the piece of paper that Lexy had left for him. He had helped her to save money to make her dream come true and now that the work was done, he was allowed to see the studio that Lexy and her band would practice in. He snuck in in time to hear Lexy talk about whether or not he or Rafe knew how to play instruments. "Well, I can play a bit of guitar. Not nearly enough to be able to help out your band." he said with a smile. "The place looks nice Lex!" he said marveling at the make-shift studio. His eyes set on the other girl in the room. He stared at her for a minute thinking intensely. Finally he smiled and hugged her. "Madi! Wow I barely recognized you! Where have you been?" He laughed happily. "Do you still have a thing for Rafe...or...yes...I see, you tracked us all down so you could tell us that I am the only man for you...right?" he laughed.
