Battle of the Bands

forty

-Julie's Point Of View-

"Okay, we've got to go on right now, but we'll come get you soon. Okay?" Bill questioned quickly.

I nodded in response.

Then Bill, Gustav, Georg, and Tom ran on stage and the crowd roared with excitement.

"Hallo California! We're Tokio Hotel and we're the last band of the night!" Bill screamed into the microphone.

The guys began their opening song Scream.

You get up
And somebody tells you
Where to go to
When you get there
Everybody's telling you
What to do
Thank you
It's been another
Bloody Monday
And no one
Is asking what you wanted
Anyway
Nein Nein Nein Nein Nein Nein Nein Nein
Nein Nein Nein Nein Nein Nein Nein Nein

I began to dance just a little bit as someone tapped me on the shoulder.

I gasped as my heart began to race just a little bit. I slowly turned, expecting to see another security guard behind me.

Scream till you feel it
Scream till you believe it
Scream and when it hurts you
Scream it out loud
Scream till you feel it
Scream till you believe it
Scream and when it hurts you
Scream it out loud
Scream (Scream it out loud)
Watch out

Stay awake
They're lurking
Obsess you
They are always
Working
Promising
Everything you
Never asked for
And one day
It'll be too late
And you'll
Beg for more

But I was happily surprised to see Ryder and Melissa standing there.

"OMG I can't believe you're gonna go on stage, Julie!" Melissa said happily.

"Are you scared?" Ryder questioned.

"Terrified." I answered honestly.

Nein Nein Nein Nein Nein Nein Nein Nein
Nein Nein Nein Nein Nein Nein Nein Nein
Scream till you feel it
Scream till you believe it
Scream and when it hurts you
Scream it out loud
Scream till you feel it
Scream till you believe it
Scream and when it hurts you
Scream it out loud
Scream

Melissa smacked Ryder in the back of his head and shook her head, "Don't listen to him, you'll do great."

"Better than great." Ryder agreed.

Back to zero
Your time's about to come
Let them know
You're not just anyone
(Scream)
Your time's about to come
Scream till you feel it
Scream till you believe it
Scream and when it hurts you
Scream it out loud
Scream till you feel it
Scream till you believe it
Scream and when it hurts you
Scream it out loud
Shut up!

I turned back to the stage and gulped, "It's now or never." I said nervously.

No cuz you feel it
No cuz you believe it
No and when it hurts you
Scream it out loud
No! No! No! No! No! No!
Scream it out loud
SCREAM!

Bill nodded for the guys to play a softer melody before he spoke into the microphone, "We made a new friend backstage tonight and we found out she is an awesome singer. Would you like to meet her?" he questioned.

The crowd cheered.

"Okay, I would like to introduce you to Julie Karr!" Bill shouted.

Tom ran off stage and held out his hand to me, "You ready?" he questioned.

I hesitated.

Was I really ready?
