Meeting Sara

Lauren’s POV

So it’s been about 2 months since I came back home from America. Everyone apart from Tristan has kept in contact with me, but despite that I still have feelings for him.

Things have been going great for me when I got back home I received calls from several different record companies saying that they wanted to sign me, the one that I chose to sign to said that instead of me being a solo artist they think I would benefit from becoming a band, as there aren’t that many girl groups that actually play their own music, I agreed so I now officially work for island records. This month I will be holding auditions all over the UK for a bassist, a drummer and another guitarist, I just hope people will turn up.

My manager Sally is a couple of years older than me which is good because we get along really well and we have similar opinions on things she’s like an older sister to me and I can just have a laugh with her. I was packing my bags and getting ready for the auditions I think it helps that I have been in the auditionee’s situation so I sort of know what some of them might be feeling

“Lauren are you ready? The minivan is waiting outside” Sally shouted she was currently down stairs waiting for me so that we could go to the first audition today in Manchester which is the closest place to where I lived, then the next day we would go to Liverpool

“Yep I’m just trying to get my case closed” I said as I sat on the case, okay I may have gone a little over board with the amount of clothes I was taking with me but oh well, after a couple of minutes I managed to get the suitcase zipped up

“Right I’m done Sally” I shouted as I made my way down stairs, my suitcase clunking down behind me. I said good bye to my family because I am moving down to London after the auditions and we are getting a band house which should be fun. I put my suitcase in the boot before getting in the care and heading off to Manchester.

While in the car Sally and I were trying to think of band names

“How about erm...Midnight” she suggested I shook my head in disapproval, then started looking out the window and it hit me

“What about Sunday Skyline” I said really enthusiastically

“Not bad, now that you’ve said it I can’t seem to get the name off my mind” Sally replied

A little while after we arrived at the venue the auditions where being held at and when we drove past I was surprised to see a fairly long queue of people outside the building. We went in through the back door and made our way into the room that the auditions were being held, in the middle of the room there was a drum kit set up and some amps as well, let the auditions begin.

There were a lot of people that were extremely good but none that really struck me like I need this person to be in my band that was until the next girl came on stage with an acoustic guitar

“Hello and what’s your name?” Sally asked

“Hi I’m Sara and I am going to play the guitar and sing to story of my life by one direction”
