Teddy's POV

My mum under estimates me too much. At least my grandmother was on my side, so I did it. I auditioned for a local group, they were fairly new so I wasn't going to be the only one that was new to it all. Though they were bloody good, so I knew if I was to join the group I would have good people to fall back on.

I invited Paul over for breakfast, I had been waiting forever to figure out if I got in the band or not. They didn't have a manager, or a drummer, they just had a guitarist and a bassist. They wanted a lead singer male or female so that's what I went in for, I sang with my guitar.

We were all sitting a the breakfast table, my grandmother loved Paul. She always talks about how he is so smart or so handsome, Paul is so nice when she's says something and that really makes me happy.

"So Paul, how long have you been in this new band then?" Dad asked

"About a month" Paul answered

"Have you got something to fall back on?" Mum said eyeing me slightly

"Here we go" I rolled my eyes

"Well it's a valid question, let him answer" Mum shrugged

"Yeah I suppose, my father made me promise that I'd keep up with school and such so if it doesn't work then I can get a job" Paul smiled, in which I yawned making my dad chuckle

"See he has his life planed out, for all we know you didn't get the lead in the band" Mum said sipping her tea

"I have my life planed out too, it's all a matter of getting there when it happens" I argued

"Sure" Mum sighed as the mail slid through the door

I looked at my mum, who looked at me. Within seconds we were racing to the door, if the letter was there she wanted it gone.

I grabbed the letter and ran back to my seat blocking my mother because I was hiding behind Paul, I opened the letter and started to read as my mum gave up on trying

"I got in" I said in disbelief

"You what?" My grandmother asked

"I got in!" I exclaimed hugging Paul tightly

"Congrats!" Paul smiled hugging me back

"I'm aloud to be there when they audition a drummer because I'm a part of the group" I practically squealed, my mum had her arms crossed and she didn't look very approving

"I don't know" She said, grabbing the letter

"Oh Francine, let 'er join" My dad smiled

"Fine but remember the deal, not up there by 1963, then your out of the band and helping your father on the docks" she sighed sitting back down

I have to go tell Hilly, I think I'll head down after breakfast.
