Paint You Wings
Chapter One
I quickly shoved my long brown hair up into a messy bun. I was late, me Georgia Barakat I was never late. It was all my brother Jack's fault, he had insitsted that I hanged out with him and his bandmates since they had just come back from a year long tour. Unfortunatly he didn't think to tell me that the plan was to get drunk otherwise I would never of come, now I had to deal with a massive headache which felt like there was a monkey inside my head banging drums all through an important interview which I properly wasn't going to get anyway.
I grabbed my handbag and car keys and headed outside into the freezing cold. It may of been the beginning of summer, but it definitly didn't feel like it at all. I unlocked my car, climbing into the warmth and doing my seatbelt up plugging the car keys in and turning on the engine. The place where the interview was taking place was only a ten minute drive away from my house, so it wasn't very far but I still needed to hurry.
I got there just as it started to rain, I got out quickly, locking my car and rushing inside the building. It was very modern inside, I went up to the receptionist telling her my name straight away she asked me if I was releated to Jack Barakat from the band All Time Low, I told her that he was my brother and she started going on and on about how much she loved him and the band. That was the bad thing about having a famous brother, no matter where I went I was always asked questions about Jack, I only had a handful of friends that I could actually trust and that I knew weren't just being friends with me because my brother was in a band.
I sat down on one of the chairs and after about five minutes I was called into the interview room. This was so much more formal that I had thought it was going to be, maybe I should of dressed up more? I stood up and walked over to the interview room, pushing the door open and going inside. Inside the room there was the whole band I already recognised them well as I was a fan of their music and of them indivdually.
There was Roxy, she was the female lead singer, she was stunning, she had bright ginger wavy hair and green eyes. She was only a year older than me. She was wearing a pair of short, black leather shorts with boots and a white t-shirt. She had a wonderful curvy figure, I'd give anything to look like her.
There was Jordan, he was the other lead vocalist and bass guitarist. He was quite a bit taller than me but that's not hard really, he had long, flicky brown hair and ocean blue eyes. He was wearing a white t-shirt and black skinny jeans with white converses. He was beautiful, I'd always had a little crush on him. He was only twenty-two, so he was only three years older than me.
There was Luke, he was the drummer and he had huge muscly arms. He was only a little bit taller than me, he had short, spikey black hair and brown eyes. He was wearing a pair of skinny jeans, a grey hoodie and some vans. He was twenty-two also.
Lastly, there was Max he was the other guitarist. He had longish blonde hair and blue eyes. He had a shaved head, and brown eyes. He was sorta beautiful in a weird way, he was the guy you wasn't meant to find attractive but you did. He was twenty the same age as Roxy.
They all smiled at me and guestured for me to sit down. I hadn't been expecting it to be them who were taking the interview, I thought it would be their band manager or something. I sat down on the comfy, black chair which was in front of the small coffee table.
"Heya! I'm Roxy, this is Jordan, Luke and Max. You're Georgia Barakat right? Are your releated to Jack Barakat from All Time Low?" Roxy asked introducing herself and the others.
I felt myself sigh, I knew Jack was going to be brought up. "Hiya, yeah I am. He's my brother."
"Oh awesome! We supported them on their tour when they were in England, awesome dudes. Now why do you want to work for us and be a merch girl?" She asked.
"It seems like a really cool job, you meet hundreds of new people nearly everyday which is really cool, I love music, I love your music so hearing you guys live nearly all the time would be good. I also know what the fans like, I could help you with design ideas and stuff I helped my brother's band design their new set of merch and some of its already sold out and it's got really good positive feedback."
"Aw thanks! We all wanted a fan of ours touring with us, like it would suck if we had someone on tour with us who hated our music haha. Plus we want a girl instead of a merch guy, cause being surrounded by these guys as awesome as they're sometimes I need a girl to talk to, these boys are great listeners but they don't give the best advice, if a boy screws me over they go I'll beat him up for ya."
"Haha aw, I must say everyone says I give pretty good advice." I said smiling. I was feeling more confident about this interview than I had originally thought.
"Hm, look I think I speak for us all when I say, I want to give you the job. Agreed guys?" Roxy asked, they all nodded their heads in agreement.
"Really!? Oh my god thankyou! I promise you I won't let you down." I said happily.
I couldn't believe it, I'd actually got the job. They were giving it to me, it was the last thing I'd expected. Part of me wondered if it was because of Jack, but then the other part of me wondered if it was just because they liked me. I couldn't get the stupid grin off of my face, I couldn't wait to go on tour with one of my favourite bands. Eeeeep.
"Yes really, haha. I'm sure you won't let us down, anyway we've got to go we have an interview with buzznet but if you give me your number and I'll be in contact? Warped Tour starts in a few weeks and it would be really great if you could come with us!" Roxy said.
"Yeah it'd be awesome!" Jordan said fist pumping the air.
I laughed to myself, and nodded my head. I said goodbye to them all, giving them each a hug before leaving the room. I gave my number to the receptionist and she told me to tell my brother that she 'loved him'. Way to put a dampen on my good mood. I went outside and it was brighting up, it was definitly warmer than earlier. I unlocked my car, climbing in and pulling my phone out straight away to text Jack the news.
To Jack:
I got the job!!!!! I'll be annoying you a lot at warped now ;) mwaha x
I hit send and almost instantly got a text back.
From Jack:
Congrats sis! yh u wont be annoying me I'll be happy that u r there :)
He really was the best brother sometimes. I turned the keys in the engine, starting my drive back home. I still couldn't get the smile off of my face. This was going to be the best summer ever.

Hmm, so I just stumbled across this and I'm sad to see it was never finished. I've read what you have so far and I just wanted to leave a comment letting you know I think you're a great writer. :)
If you ever choose to finish this, I will be here to read, because I think it's a great story. I really think it deserves an ending. :') Georgia and Alex have been through a lot; I think they deserve a happy ending, but that's just me. :P
Maybe this comment will inspire you to finish the story. :)
