Skylar was awoken from a great dream and a deep sleep by her Beatles ringtone going off.

"Damn it!" Mumbled the girl as she groggily fumbled for her cell phone on her nightstand, but only succeeded in knocking it, and a pack of cigarettes over which frustrated her more and ended up getting up out of bed, throwing back the covers and picking up her phone. Who the heck would text me at nine in the morning during the summer? Then she remembered, today was the day they were leaving, leaving on tour, fresh as the young rag tag Beatles going down to tour Hamburg, with twice as much class. Excitement over came her and she flipped her phone screen reveling the message. It was from Milo, the bands leader in a way: leaving! leaving! ill pick you guys up one at a time who's first?

"Not me" Typed back Skylar before throwing her phone back down. She sure would miss her room for the summer, and sleeping in late, but hopefully it'd all be worth it soon. Skylar sat up and let out a yawn. She was still in her old Rolling Stones tee shirt that she'd fallen to sleep in. Out of the corner of her eye she spotted the little turn table and walked across the room to it.

She smiled bending down to her turntable, in the other room, she could hear her little sister Erica's One Direction music blasting, of course the twelve year old had always been an early riser. As if in protest she turned up the Beatles record, "Please Please Me" extra loud. Two could play at this game, Erica wasn't the only on with a boy band. She hoped in the shower and took a record fast shower. She always listened to records while getting ready, it was her favorite way of listening to music.

Looking through her closet for good clothes she hadn't already packed away in her suitcase she chose to wear some simple blue jeans, which she rolled up, then some bobby socks and finally her favorite shoes aside from her converse, a pair of black and white saddle shoes, one's she had to order online to get. She slide them on and threw on a Beatles shirt and put away her record. She took good care of her collection, half of it belonged to her father, and the other half she bought on her own, but she loved each record she owned greatly and hoped to God her family wouldn't mess with them while she was gone.

She didn't have to worry about them messing with her second passion though, because seeing as she was going on tour she was taking her drum set. That was the one thing that kept her sane and her mother insane. At that was what she planned to make a living out of. Her mother disagreed, told her she should get a "real job" and start going to the community college down the street, but she wasn't about to listen to her. Skylar figured her mother wouldn't let her go with the band if she knew about it so Skylar kept it a secret, she supposed it was running away, but she didn't really consider it that.

Taking one last look around, she adjusted her hair a bit and put on her beanie hat before grabbing her suit case and leaving her room.
