Fever

~Your P.O.V.~ I said goodbye to my parents as I got into the car. It would be a long drive to San Francisco. 6 hours, at least. But man, would it be worth it. My big shot. I made sure to bring my cds. Music would make the drive more bearable. I popped in one cd at random and turned up the volume. Ah, Bullet For My Valentine (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0n3cUPTKnl0) I sighed happily as the music flowed through me, making me go even faster down the highway. Good music tends to do that. I tried not to speed too much, though. Although, I did want to make sure I made it in time to check in to my hotel. Time passed slowly. I made a few stops for gas and food, and to stretch my legs. Eventually I arrived in San Francisco. Finally! It was almost midnight by the time I got there. I checked into my hotel, brought my bag up to my room and picked out clothes for tomorrow before hitting the shower and bed. Tomorrow was the big audition day, so I had to make sure I looked good and got a good night's sleep. It seemed my alarm went off just minutes after falling asleep. I sighed and hopped in a cold shower. I made sure I was clean and smelled good. I trimmed my goatee and quickly dressed in a nice pair of black skinny jeans and a Skillet T-shirt. Relatively low-key. Didn't want them to judge me by just by my clothing style. I had been practicing for months. I jumped in the car and popped in a Skillet album. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B58OBfM-8A4) Ah, Skillet had a way of making me feel good. I sang along, even though it wasnt the song I had worked on (same album though). By the time I got to the audition venue, my voice was warmed up and I felt invincible. I strutted, almost skipped into the venue. I was my usual friendly, cheerful self as I waited for them to call me in for my audition. I struck up a few conversations with people. Not many rockers here, I thought to myself. I spotted a young man in a leather jacket, with a turquoise streak in his hair. I couldn't see his face, since he was facing away from me. I looked him over again. I couldn't help noticing he had a good figure, a nice butt to be more specific. I decided to take a chance. I took a deep breath and began to approach said young man. He must have heard me coming, because he turned around. If it was possible, his face was even more handsome than I could have imagined. I froze in my tracks, in awe of his handsome babyface. He smiled at me and motioned for me to come sit by him. I blushed and did as he asked. So much for feeling invincible! He stood up and extended his hand in a friendly handshake. "Hi. I'm Adam. I'm from Hollywood. What about you?" I accepted his hand and shook it. "Kaine. And I'm from Canoga Park" He nooded. "Thats cool. Ever venture to Hollywood?", he asked. "A few times", I smiled. He smiled back. Wow. What an amazing smile. "So, what kind of music do you like to sing?" I asked him. "I prefer the glam-rock style, actually." He replied. "What about you?" "I like pretty much anything but I do prefer rock music." I ran a hand through my curly locks, a little nervous now. "You nervous?", he asked. I chuckled lowly. "I wasn't a minute ago...but yeah, a little bit now." He smiled again. "Don't sweat it, if your singing voice is anything like your speaking voice, I'm sure you will be great!" I blushed again. "Your voice aint bad yourself. Say, you doing anything after this?" "Depends on how it goes. Why?" I blushed again. "I was just wondering if you might like to get something to eat with me, maybe get to know each other better, since your turn should be up soon." He motioned to the number pinned to my shirt. "Yours too." Soon, they called him up. I wished him luck as he went in. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kHN51MtHDTI) He came back out, smiling. "I take it it went well?" "Yeah. It did. I'm going home soon!" I sighed, a little disappointed. "Hey, not too soon though, I at least want to see how you do! And that dinner sounded like a good idea too!" Soon they called me in. He wished me luck and told me he would wait for me. I took a deep breath and put on my best smile for the judges. I said my hellos and told them I would be singing Rebirthing by Skillet. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GTbKorqc56o) I closed my eyes and pictured that I was in my car, listening to the cd, just to help to get rid of my nerves. I belted it out, surprising Randy and Simon both. Needless to say, I got in. I smiled broadly as I took my Hollywood ticket and went out to meet Adam. He saw me come out and smiled. "I told you you would be fine. Now, how about that dinner?" He smiled at me again and we walked outside, spotting a nearby place to eat. We walked over and sat down, talking for a long time before realizing what time it was. "Wow. If you are going to get home at a decent hour, you should probably get going.", He said. I sighed. "I agree, but I was having a good time." "Me too", he said. "But, going home does not mean we have to not keep in touch." He smiled and wrote down his phone number, handing it to me. "I hope to see you sometime soon." He smiled and hugged me gently, smiling & waving as we parted.

~Adam's P.O.V.~ ~Audition Day~ I woke up refeshed and ready to face the world. Today was going to be a good day. I put on my favorite DJ Tiesto CD (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Qlz_Y4R4ok) I practically danced into the shower, singing along. I made sure I was nice and clean before shaving my babyface. Thank god, no shaving cuts today. I picked out a snazzy leather jacket and a tight pair of jeans. I looked hot! Now for hair and makeup. I spiked my hair up a little in the back and combed my bangs to hang over the left side of my face. I put on just chapstick today. Didn't want to be too fabulicious just yet! I jumped in my rental car and drove over to the venue where the auditions were being held. I checked in and found a open seat, plopping my glamtastic butt down, humming softly to myself. Time passed, and I listened to my ipod for a little while. After a while I got bored with that and just people watched. I heard footsteps behind me and turned around. A handsome young man (probably late teens or early 20's) was walking towards me. He stopped when he saw me turn around. I smiled and motioned for him to come sit by me. I stood up to meet him, extending my hand in a friendly handshake. "Hi. I'm Adam. I'm from Hollywood. What about you?" He accepted my hand and shook it. He had nice hands. I wondered briefly how they would feel on certain parts of my body. BAD ADAM! I blushed and smacked myself internally. "Kaine. And I'm from Canoga Park.", he replied. I nodded and said "Thats cool. Ever venture to Hollywood?" Maybe he could come and spend the night some time....BAD ADAM, MOM WOULD KILL YOU FOR THINKING LIKE THAT! "A few times", he replied and smiled. I practically melted on the spot. CLEANUP AISLE 5! I smiled back and caught myself gazing into his hazel eyes. "So, what kind of music do you like to sing?", he asked."I prefer the glam-rock style, actually. What about you?", I replied. "I like pretty much anything but I do prefer rock music." God, he was gorgeous! He ran a hand through his curly hair. For a moment I was glad I wasn't the only one who was nervous, although probably for different reasons."You nervous?", I asked. He chuckled lowly. "I wasn't a minute ago...but yeah a little bit now." I smiled again. "Don't sweat it, if your singing voice is anything like your speaking voice, I'm sure you will be great!" He blushed. He was cute when he blushed, trying to hide his face a little bit. "Your voice aint bad yourself. Say, you doing anything after this?" He kicked at the ground nervously. "Depends on how it goes. Why?" He blushed again. "I was just wondering if you might like to get something to eat with me, maybe get to know each other better, since your turn should be up soon." I smiled and motioned to the number pinned to his shirt. "Yours too." Soon, they called me up. He wished me luck as I went in. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kHN51MtHDTI) I came back out, smiling. "I take it it went well?" "Yeah. It did. I'm going home soon!" He sighed. I could tell he was a bit down. "Hey, not too soon though, I at least want to see how you do! And that dinner sounded like a good idea too!" Soon they called him in. I punched his arm playfully and wished him luck and told him I would wait for him. He smiled and went in. I waited paitently outside the audition room. What was it about this guy? I didn't usually fall for someone this quickly. He was back out soon enough, grinning. I smiled and said "I told you you would be fine. Now, how about that dinner?" We walked outside, spotting a nearby place to eat. We walked over and sat down, talking for a long time before realizing what time it was. "Wow. If you are going to get home at a decent hour, you should probably get going." I said. He sighed. "I agree, but I was having a good time." "Me too", I said, and smiled. What a great first date this has turned out to be. "But, going home does not mean we have to not keep in touch." I smiled and wrote down my phone number, handing it to him. "I hope to see you sometime soon." I smiled and hugged him gently, smiling & waving as we parted.
