Left For Dead

Vanna's POV
I punch my brother in the arm and start to run away from him. After having him gone for a handful of months, it was nice to have my military brother back home. Even if it's only for 5 weeks.
“Come on, Vanna. Don't be so mean! “
“Try and catch me army boy. “ He chuckles and I hide behind a rose bush. The thorns slightly poking my arms. I wince and keep quiet.
“Vivi? Where you go?” Damien asks as he walks by the bush. I let out a giggle and walk back inside the house. “Found you!” I let out a squeal and laugh as I ran up to my room, locking the door.
“Vanna and Damien, stop acting like you're 10!” I roll my eyes and Damien’s footsteps are heard further away. I unlock the door and rush to the kitchen, where my mother was cooking dinner. Damien frowns as he sees me and mom just rolls her eyes.
“there's some mail for you, Vanna” My momma says, as she places chicken pieces into a pot. I never get mail, most of the time, it was my AP magazines and or some strings for my guitar. I look at the random envelopes and grab the one with my name
‘Vanna Ventura/ Left For Dead” I look at the envelope in confusion and sit down.
“what's it about?” Damien asks. I shrug as I open it from the top. I get the thick documents out and open them up slowly
“they want my information.” I said. They couldn't get it from the record label we were in? “I don't get it. I'm confused.” the record label has been pretty mad at us since our bassists left a few weeks ago. We were in the progress of starting another album, but she just got up and left, saying something in lines of being accepted into college and something else.
“You're still in the band? “ I nod. “ Vanna.. I told you.”
“and I told you not to go to the army. But that didn't happen either did it, Damien? “ He sighs and that shuts him up. It usually always does. I put the documents back into the envelope and push it away. “I have to wait for Ally to contact us. This information stuff is weird… Especially with that title on it. “
“which one?” my mom asks.
“Warped Tour 2012.”
“Isn't it that tour you always dreamed about being in? With all the girls?” I nod, but I was still so confused. We had no bassist, we aren't famous, the lineup this year is huge, filled with MY correction, OUR favorite bands. Then my phone rings. It was, Kevin, our manager, called. I picked up my phone and said a deep hello.
“Cut It Vanna.” He says, laughing.
“well, sorry. What's up Kevin?” then he explains everything to me. Warped tour. New bassist. Few weeks.
“okay! Thanks Kevin!” I hang up and call Shannon. Damien looks at me worried, and I hold out a finger, which meant that I was going to tell him soon. I walk out, and wait for my best friend to answer her phone.

Shannon’s POV
Today was a free day so I was able to do whatever I wanted. Which normally consisted of sleep and watching Harry Potter. It's very rare I get some alone time ok? I had been awake for about 2 hours, I had made myself a coffee, fed my pet tarantula, Aragog and did all that bathroom stuff, which consisted of showering, brushing my teeth, brushing my hair (which I don't get anyway because I'm just going to put it up in a bun again), Then Turned on Harry Potter. So that's what I'm doing now. Watching the first Harry Potter movie and screaming at my television.
Basically this is all I have ever done other than hang around with the band, if I didn't have them I had nothing. They were my rock, I relied on them to keep me going, it sounds pathetic but it's true. They were there for me during the death of my parents, which meant a lot because I was stuck in a deep phase of not wanting anything to do with anyone for about a year. But, they constantly came around everyday near enough, gave me a bath, fed me and talked to me. If it wasn't for them I would probably be with my parents right now. I started to fiddle with an old locket my grandma gave me when I was younger that was around my neck, it was old and battered but I loved it. Inside it held a picture of my mum and a picture of my dad when they got married. My grandma lives back in England which is where I originally come from, I still sorta have an accent. I have lived in San Diego since I was 17.
My phone started to ring next to me, making me jump and fall onto the black carpeted floor. I groaned and answered the phone not caring to look at the caller ID
“What?” I answered not very happy that my Harry Potter marathon had been interrupted.
“Shut up Shannon, it's not like you're doing anything important” Vanna laughed from the other side of the phone.
“Yes I am!” I argued back.
“What? Watching Harry Potter again?” I could feel her smirking through the phone.
“Ok point taken what do you want?”.
“Well I have some good news for you”,
I groaned “you found a new scented candle you like?” I laughed slightly.
“No, Left for dead are going on warped tour” I heard the excitement through the phone. My jaw hit the floor and I dropped my phone, wait what?. I picked up my phone and slowly started to raise it to my ear. “Excuse me, what?”.
“You heard me” she laughed slightly.
I sighed a little “how can we go without a bassist?”
I heard her curse through the speaker “sorry, i forgot to tell you we found someone”. She started filling me in on the information and I couldn't keep the smile off of my face, we spoke for an hour and we said our goodbyes. Wait, we are actually going on Warped Tour.

Ally’s POV
"Damnit Ally, come on! Take this stuff seriously, this is your future we are discussing here!" My dear mother pleaded as I ran and sang rather loudly and dramatically around our house.
I had just received a letter from the mail informing us that my band, 'Left For Dead' and I had just been invited to play at warped. Which had been our dream since we were little girls running around in the playgrounds in school. All those nights we stayed up until morning, all those times we had to play at local parks and local bars, all of that had finally paid off and now we were going to play in our dream stage with all of our idols, all of our favorite bands and they were all going to be there.
But I still had one question in mind. Who was going to take Lauren's place ? She was our old bassist, she bailed out on us last minute when she had gotten accepted at a university across the country and so she left.
Then suddenly I received a call from our manager, Kevin. He then explained everything to me, and how somehow Alex Gaskarth from All Time Low had contacted him and offered help on getting us a new bassist and he got us one, her name was Echo and she sounded really talented.
"Well she sounds great!" I replied excited.
"She is, I saw some videos of her playing and she's absolutely talented, after all she was recommended by Alex, and well I have to go now and take care of something, so get ready and pack up! I'll meet you guys tomorrow afternoon in the studio so you guys can meet her" he said.
"Great, sounds perfect! See you then" I said hanging up and looking back at my mom smiling like if it was Christmas all over again. "Mom! Oh my god! I can't believe this is happening!" I said jumping up and down again.
"I know sweetie, I'm so proud of you" she said hugging me and wiping some tears from her eyes.
"Mom stop crying for me, your baby will be back soon" I said jokingly.
She smiled at me and rolled her eyes. "I know this all you ever wanted but I want to tell you that you have to be careful out there honey, there can be some perverted, naked, nasty-" "Mommmmmm" I said loudly interrupting her while covering my ears. "I know that and I'll be just fine, I know how to take care of myself by now" I reassured her.
"Okay sweetie, I'll be back later I'm going to work now, I left some food for you in the fridge in case you get hungry, I love you." She said and gave me a kiss on the cheek and then left.
"I Love you too, bye!" I yelled as she got in the car. I then pulled out my phone again and called Vanna and Shannon, I couldn't wait to hear what they had they had to say about this.

Notes
