"Ok, we're going to sing The Wire. Got it?" Hudson asked as she slid her guitar strap around her shoulder before looking at the rest of her band as they nodded their heads. The band's dummer , Luna tossed her cigarette on the stone floor before stepping on it to put it out. The guitarist, Jackson cleared his throat. "Okay. One, two..."
And with that he began strumming the song followed by Luna. Hudson grabbed the microphone and watched her band from the corner of her eyes before clearing throat. "You know I'm bad at communication, it's the hardest thing for me to do. And it's said, it's the most important part that relationships will go through. And I'd give it all away just so I could say that. I know I know I know I know that you're gonna be OK anyway. You know there's no rhyme or reason for the way you turned out to be. I didn't go and try to change my mind. not intentionally. I know it's hard to hear me say it but I can't bear to stay and. I just know I know I know I know that you're gonna be OK anyway..--"
Hudson looked down at her guitar for a brief moment before looking back at the microphone and the imaginary crowd that they were pretending was in front of them. They had a gig the next day and it was in front of a big name producer, meaning that they had to be perfect. And for most of the song it was, until they all heard the bass start messing up. But, it wasn't until she heard Luna yell and throw here drumsticks on the ground that the Australian had to stop and look at Luna. "Dammit Leo!"
The black haired girl let out a deep groan before turning her glare to the bassist, Leon. Who just let out a nervous chuckle before putting his bass down. Hudson was about to say something but before she had the chance, Luna had already jumped in. "Leo! We have been practicing this song for two months, two fucking months. This is the best song we have and you mess up." Luna walked over to the bassist who at the moment had a smug smirk on his face as he looked down at his girlfriend of three years. Hudson rubbed her temples as the drummer continued to yell at her boyfriend. After awhile of knowing the couple, you learn to just sit back and let them work out whatever issue they had with one another. Hudson just sat on one of the amps along with Jackson as they watched the couple. Leon put his arms around the short girl's waist, in an attempt to make her be quiet. "Babe, this is our big chance and we need everything to be perfect. And if you mess up like that on stage we'll never get signed to a big name label."
"Luna, you need to relax. Everything will be fine. Alright?" He moved one of his hands to her jaw before bringing her into a kiss. Hudson and Jackson just watched before pretending to get sick in order to get the lovebirds focused again. "Great, everything's all good again. Now, can we please get back to practicing? Please." The whole band just groaned in a childish way. "Hudson, c'mon. We've been practicing since nine in the morning. We're tired."
"And hungry."
"And bored. For the past week this is all we've done is practice, practice, and more practice. Let's go do something!" Jackson said as he tossed his arm around the lead singer's narrow shoulders. Hudson rolled her eyes before getting up a setting her guitar down softly next to Jackson's. "Do what? It's noon so, what do you want to do?" Jackson just shrugged. "Let's go do anything. The guys can go somewhere and we can go somewhere else, just to clear out minds. You know? C'mon, Hud.... please." The other girl had a fake puppy pout on her face as she looked at her close friend who looked pretty annoyed at all of her friends. Hudson looked down at the ground before finally giving into her band mates' request.
"Ok, fine. But, we are meeting up at nine. Got it?" The guys just nodded as they slipped on their leather jackets. "I'm going to go get my wallet." Jackson said as he exited the garage that was in his apartment building. Leon gave Luna a small but passionate kiss before pulling away and kissing his cheek. "I'll call you later, babe." Luna let out a small smile before nodding. The two girls watched the two guys of the group leave before looking at each other. "So, what do you want to do?"
"We can go look at some music. Maybe do a cover of a song or get more vinyls for our wall." Luna suggested as she looked at the wall of vinyls that the four have collected over the years. Most were from older bands but, they had a few newer bands on the beloved wall too. Hudson shrugged and grabbed her black coat before zipping it up. "Sure, why not?" Hudson fixed her jeans before looking in the mirror the girls put into the practice space when they first started the band. Luna grabbed her coat before walked towards the door into the chilly New York air. Hudson put her hat on before exiting the building and walking down the street with her friend right next to her. She slipped on her glasses just as Luna put on her black Ray Bans. It didn't take long for the pair to get to the local music shop.
The girls spent the next few hours looking through the store before buying twenty of them and making their way to get something to eat. It wasn't until Hudson looked at the time that she started freaking out. "Dammit, I got to go. Apartment meeting." The girl had forgotten all about that stupid meeting. "Tell the guys I'll meet up with them soon."
Luna just chucked before waving her off. It didn't take much time for the girl to get back to her building before walking inside and looked around. She wasn't close to a lot of people in her building and the people she was close to were sitting next to people already. She just took a seat away from most of the people before looking through her phone, thinking of what songs to play for their show.
