Chapter 6

Adam's POV

After we had finished Shut Up and Dance, Chase stepped up to the mic and started talking.

"Hey, everybody," he said, and everyone screamed in appreciation. "I want to thank you so much for supporting us. Does anyone have suggestions for the next song?" Chase asked.

It was a bunch of mixed up words. I finally heard What Do You Mean by Justin Bieber. I got up from my drum set, whispered in Chase's ear and sat back down.

"Ok, our drummer heard What Do You Mean originally by Justin Bieber, we're gonna do that." Chase said.

Adam started drumming, Chase and Bree started play the bass and guitar. Chase sang this one, with Bree on background vocals.

"What do you mean? Ohhh. When you nod your head yes, but you wanna say nooo. What do you mean? Heyyy, when you don't want me to move, but you want me to gooo. What do you mean? What do you mean? Since your running out of time what do you mean? Ohhh, what do you mean? Better make up your mind, what do you mean?" Chase sang.

The audience was singing along at the top of their lungs.

Chase sang the rest of the song and everyone cheered.

"This next song is our sister, People Like Us by Kelly Clarkson!" Chase yelled.

Chase started playing guitar and I started drumming.

"Hey. Everybody loses it, everybody wants to throw it all away sometimes. And hey, I know what your going through, don't let it get the best of you, you'll make it out alive. Oh. People like us, we gotta stick together, keep your head up, nothing lasts forever, here's to the dam, to the lost and forgotten, it's hard to get high when your living on the bottom." Bree sang, then she and Chase started jumping up and down and Bree continued singing.

"Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. We are all misfits living in a world on fire. Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh singing for the people like us, the people like us," Bree finished singing.

Everyone cheered, but then the explosions that Douglas set off went off during Chase's guitar solo-Chase had gotten to close when they went off. Chase screamed and Bree grabbed onto him and pulled him away.

"That's it, good night everyone!" I yelled trying to keep Chase from screaming anymore.

Then Richard came over. "The show doesn't end for another hour, what happened?" Richard demanded.

"Chase got hurt from the explosions," Bree quickly explained as she helped Chase sit down on a bench. Tasha ran over and looked at Chase. His shoulder had gotten burned badly.

"I'll take care of Chase. But we need another guitar player who can sing," Tasha said.

I was getting worried, what if we couldn't find someone? Then Bree brought Leo over.

"Leo, it's time to shine," Bree said handing him Chase's guitar.

"Hey, be careful with that!" Chase exclaimed, then he made a hissing noise when Tasha put the disinfectant on his burn.

"Get out there!" Richard exclaimed.

Bree, Leo and I ran on stage then Bree quickly explained that something had happened to Chase and that Leo would finish the show for him.

Then they started Drag Me Down. "I got fire for a heart, I'm not scared of the dark, you've never seen it look so easy, I've got a river for a soul, and baby your a boat, baby your my only reason." Bree started.

"If I didn't have you, there would be nothing left, the shell of man that couldn't be his best, if I didn't have you I'd never see the sun, it taught me how to be someone," Leo sang.

"All my life, you stood by me, when no one else was ever behind me, all these lights, they can't blind me, with your love, nobody can drag me down," Leo and Bree sang together.

Every time I banged the drums during the chorus, flames would fly out of the stage. This time, no one got burned.

"Nobody, nobody, nobody can drag me down," Leo and Bree sang together, they finished the song and then the show was over.

"We love you!" I screamed to the audience.

Then I saw fifteen girls in the front jump up and down, they must really like me.

Bree, Leo and I exited the stage and were embraced in a hug by Tasha.

"You guys were amazing! Especially you Leo!" Tasha exclaimed letting us go.

I was glad she did because I almost stopped breathing.

"Hey Leo, thanks for taking my place," Chase said.

I saw that his shoulder was bandaged up, but he didn't show any pain, but he was good at hiding his emotions so he could have been in a ton of pain.

"No problem," Leo replied, grinning.

Kinda randomly, I wondered what would happen if I touched my brother's shoulder. I touched it and Chase hid a scream, so he was in a lot of pain, I knew it!

But Richard came over and congratulated us. "You were all amazing! Leo, the audience loved you, have you ever considered a solo career?" Richard asked.

"Sorry Richard, my main focus is these guys," Leo said, putting his arms around us.

I smiled, our brother would give up a solo career for our band? He was one of the sweetest guys ever. With Leo sticking around, I knew that this band was gonna be a success, and let's face it-I didn't know much.
