I'm All In. *•[A Panic! X reader]•*

(Y/N) POV
---------
I got off work and immediately rushed home. I hurried in the door and grabbed my guitar. I stacked my phone up on books and various other objects in an attempt to get a decent angle. Once I was satisfied, I pushed the record button and began to sing.

"Now I'm Of consenting age to be forgetting you in a Cabaret"
I continued to sing and strum until the last line.

"Praying for love and paying in naivety ohh-"
I then reached to turn off my camera and watched the footage. It actually sounded pretty decent so I decided to upload it and tag the boys.

I felt fairly good about this. Even if the decided on someone else at least I made an effort to fix my mistakes.

I took a shower and crawled into bed with a content smile on my face.

(A/N: the video above is my cover of Its Better if You Do which is the song that you're singing in this chapter. Please check it out and subscribe to my channel... I'm trying to grow it)

Dallon POV
-----------
We carried on as usual. We were driving back to LA because that's where our next show was going to be once tour kicked off again. We spent most of our day doing absolutely nothing. Occasionally we would watch the video submissions together. We still hadn't decided on an opening act. We still had another week for people to submit videos so we weren't too worried about it. (Y/N) was still on my mind. I was positive that she told us to wait. That she had changed her mind. She didn't text either of us. I wish she had. Maybe she was waiting on one of us to text her...

To: (Y/N)
From: Dallon
Hey. How've you been?

I didn't get an immediate reply. Maybe she didn't want to talk to me. Maybe that's why she decided not to come on tour. Maybe she didn't like me like I thought she might. Or maybe I'm just overthinking things. So doesn't have to answer me right back. It's fine. I decided to set my phone down and grab my laptop. I brought it over to Brendon.

"Wanna watch some auditions?" I asked

"Got nothing better to do" he replied

So we sat down and watched video after video. None of them really catching our eye until we ran across one of them. It was two people. One guy and one girl. The guy was singing while the girl was playing the drums. That was a change of pace. We kept watching and as soon as that first word left the boys mouth we looked at each other in awe. We still had time for other people to submit and we still had a ton of videos to watch but this duo was definitely a contender. The song stopped and Brendon and I just looked at each other. No communication was needed for both of us to know that this very well be the people we will be spending the next two months with. They were different. Something that hasn't been seen before. They had potential. I knew that Brendon was thinking the same thing. I heard my phone ding finally.

"Hold on let me check my phone" I said and Brendon nodded.

I walked over and as I suspected it was a text from (Y/N).

To: Dallon
From: (Y/N)
Hey Dallon! I miss you guys! I've been doing well. What have you guys been up to?

To: (Y/N)
From: Dallon
That's good! We've been spending our days watching submissions for that contest we are holding. Did you hear about it?

To: Dallon
From: (Y/N)
Yeah I saw you guys tweet about it... I actually submitted something... did you guys see it?

When Dallon read that he had to refrain from screaming like a little girl.

"Brendon!!!" I yelled.

"Dude, I'm like 10 feet away from you there is no need to yell." Brendon said slightly annoyed.

"Yes there is! (Y/N) submitted a video to our contest!" I said trying, and failing, to keep the excitement level down.

"No way, dude!"

"Yes!"

I grabbed the laptop and searched for (Y/N)'s Twitter account. Sure enough there was a pinned post with her and her guitar. I eagerly pressed play. I forgot just how talented she really was. Wow. How are we going to choose between her and that drummer/singer duo?

"Soo...?" I asked not really knowing what answer I was expecting.

"What?"

"Are we going to choose her?" I asked.

"Man, if you had asked me that before we watched that submission with the boy and the girl I would have said yes but now I'm not so sure who I want more." Brendon explained. I felt the same way.

To: (Y/N)
From: Dallon
We just watched it. I forgot how talented you were, (Y/N)
But we still have another week until the contest closes so we can't make our final decision yet...

To: Dallon
from:(Y/N)
That's cool. I wasn't expecting you to tell me that I was coming on tour with you. I'm sure you've gotten a ton of submissions way better than mine.

To: (Y/N)
From: Dallon
Actually very few have caught our eye.

To: Dallon
From: (Y/N)
Well there's still another week.

To: (Y/N)
From: Dallon
Yep... one more week.

With that, the conversation ended. Brendon and Dallon watched a few more videos but then they decided to call it a night and all three of them(Y/N included) went to sleep with a glimmer of hope at the end of this long, dark tunnel.

Please check out that cover. I've kind of based the main characters love of music on me and my feelings however in my mind my "talent" is no where comparable to the main characters. In my mind the main character is super, unbelievably talented. I just have a But It's Better if You Do Cover and I thought that this would be a good opportunity to get it out there. I'm just trying to say that I'm not trying to be cocky or anything and (Y/N) in the story is way more talented than I am so yeah. Anyways, bye!

**Also this may be the last chapter for a little while. I'm going to go back and edit the chapters that I have put out already because I know there are a lot of typos.**
