Chapter 8 I don't think this chapter is that good, but there will be more excitement coming later
Hope you still enjoy!
The next morning I woke, ahh Saturday, and no more school, the semester was finally over. Teddy was already out of bed, he was always up early. Just as I was about to step out of bed Teddy came in with breakfast.
"Here I made this for you, figured you would be hungry."
I smiled at him, "Thank you" I said taking the food from his hands.
"Is Alice awake yet?"
"Yeah she left about 20 mins ago to go to the police station. They had a few more questions about yesterday."
We sat there in bed watching t.v. together when the phone started ringing.
"I'll answer it" Teddy said already flying down the stairs. He had been gone for only about 2 mins before he came running back up leaping on the bed.
"You are never going to belive who that was and what he said!"
"What, Who?" I asked eagerly. "Remember when you went to the audition with me?"
"yeah" I replied. "Remeber the guy that asked for my number and stuff? Turns out he's a record producer and he wants to hear some of my demos!"
I was speechless for a minute before saying, Oh my Gosh!! That is soo great! When do you meet with him?"
"This afternoon at around 4. He has a small studio here."
As four o' clock rolled around me and Teddy packed up his demos and headed for the studio. We were met at the door by a tall and skinny man.
"Are you Teddy Geiger?" he asked.
"Yeah, I'm here to meet with producer Max Martin." He then led us to the studio where Max was.
"Hello" he said shaking both of our hands.
"How many demos do you have?" he asked eyeing the large stack of cds Teddy had set down.
"About 200" he said with a grin. "Well lets have a listen to a few of them."
The three of us sat listening to the demos. Then Max excused himself from the room for a moment. Ted turned to me anxiously.
"Do you think he likes my stuff?"
"I'm not sure, he wasn't really giving off any signs." Just then Max walked back inside.
He looked at Teddy and said, "You've got yourself a record deal!"
Ted's mouth almost dropped to the floor.
"Are you serious? i cannot believe this is real!" Max put a hand on Teddy's shoulder, "You have got real talent Geiger, I'm honored to represent you."
"Thank you so much!!" After filling out loads of paper work and contracts, Teddy was an officially signed artist.
During the drive home we both couldn't keep from smiling, but behind my smile I was sad. I knew he would be doing a lot of things being a new artist and all. I was afraid he would leave me behind in the dust.
"Lets go out tonight and celebrate!" Teddy's voice shook me from my thoughts.
"Yeah that sounds like a great idea."
"I'm going to take you to the best restaurant in all of San Diego!" "Great" I said half heartedly.
I couldn't help feeling so selfish and worried that he would soon forget all about me. Don't ruin this night for him I thought to myself. Over dinner I was still quietly thinking.
"Is something wrong?" Teddy finally asked. "You've seemed sad ever since we left the studio."
"No it's nothing, I'm just a little homesick, I lied.
"Well then when we get back you should call home." I looked down at my plate as I moved food around with a fork. "Yeah maybe I should."
Teddy had been working day and night in the studio since he had been signed and Alice had moved back into our apartment at school. I decided to stay with Teddy. All his extra time was spent in the studio and never with me. I hardly ever got to see him anymore.
"Hey" he said walking through the door at about 2:00 A.M. I was up watching t.v on the couch.
"Wow, you are home early today, why did you bother coming at all?" I asked with an attitude.
"Uhh because I live here" he said slightly annoyed. "If I didn't know better I'd say you lived at the studio."
He looked at me confused and said, "why are you so upset suddenly?, It never bothered you before." By this time I was so angry that I got up and stood in his face.
"Never bothered me before? You must be blind! I am always here alone, I never get to see you, and you care about your music more than anything else!" He was now getting angry too.
"I'm just trying to make a record here and you are being so selfish and b****y, I'm trying to start a career!" I looked him straight in the eye and said, "Fine then I hope your career makes you happy since I sure can't!"
He glared at me and said, "Good I'm sure it will!"
"Screw you Teddy!" I yelled as I stomped up the stairs to pack my things.
He came upstairs a few moments later and started throwing clothes in my suitcase.
"Here let me help you!"
I grabbed my bags and walked right out the door without ever looking back.
So that's chapter 8 Please tell me what you think!
