What An "All Time Low" Really Means

Alex was not happy when he heard that I had invited somebody new to the band, "Future Hearts." He told me that it was unfair and that there may be others that were better than him. So, we decided to hold auditions, and with them came about 20 people. We had our work cut out for us.
We had them play one of all of our favorite songs, "Brain Stew" by "Green Day." The first 3 were pretty crappy, blanking some notes or missing them completely. We told them all the same thing, "Good work, we will call you if you made it, good luck." I was actually sort of glad that this had happened, so that Liam had a better chance of getting in.
However, at about the 13th person, a 16 year old guy who's name was Mason H. ("Don't ask what the "D" stands for, nobody can pronounce it), who you could tell was really popular with the ladies popped in. He pulled out his guitar and strummed it for a second then flawlessly played it. I actually think my jaw may have dropped.
When Liam came in I was still pretty confident in him. He pulled out his guitar and, just like the 16 year old, flawlessly performed "Brain Stew." But not even that, he also, at the end, played an amazing guitar solo he had made up on the fly. It blew Alex, Rian, Zack, and I away.
We listened to the last two people and then it was time to decide what to do.
Alex started, "That Liam guy is amazing, but so is that other guy Mason."
"Yeah," Rian started, "But did you hear Liam's solo at the end? That was sick, bro."
I nodded my head in agreement.
"So it's decided then? Liam is the new member of "Future Hearts?" Zack asked.
All in favor raise your hand," Alex said.
Four hands were raised.

As Liam opened his door I yelled, "Congrats dude! You're the new member of the band!"
I was really excited to have Liam as part of the band. Most of the time, when he wasn't having a "depressed moment," he was pretty fun to be around. Yet, he was a bit of a loner, so not many people understood him.
"Seriously?!" was his response.
"Yeah," I began, "next practice is this Saturday, so be at Alex's house by 11 a.m."
"'Kay," he said, "By the way, I have been working on a song recently and was trying to think of lyrics, that should be perfect!"
"Alright, well, gotta run, mom's making dinner and you know how she is," I said, raising my hand in a "goodbye" gesture.
He responded, "Alright, see ya!"

Notes

Okay, so I've decided that I'm going to make the narration bounce around between Liam and Jack for now. Mainly because Jack is my favorite member of "All Time Low" and Liam is of my own creation (almost like a son...okay, not gonna go down that path) so they're the ones I can really connect to when I'm writing about them. Anyways, I should be able to write the next chapter tomorrow as well, which should be great.

Okay, well enough about me, I noticed that I have over 40 views on my first chapter, yet not a single bit of feedback in the ratings or the comments. It really helps me connect to you guys if you can tell me how you feel about my writing. So just remember to comment and rate for me so I know what to do!
Talk to you guys later!
