CHAPTER NINETEEN

HENDRIX

We’d met with seven potential new guitarists already and still hadn’t found one that fit yet. I worked hard in my free time to master guitar and vocals, but even I could admit I struggled. My guitar skills were more for keeping rhythm than all out leading. We needed someone new to round out the music better.

It was frustrating, to say the very least. I even considered for a minute asking my dad for help, but I squashed that down the minute it crossed my mind. Dad was a decent guitar player, but he wasn’t serious. He was flaky and wouldn’t want to play anything that didn’t fit him completely. I wasn’t going to even pretend that was an option.

“Thanks for coming. We’ll let you know.”

The guy who came to meet us, a quiet gargoyle named Aldrik, nodded his head politely and followed Laz out the door. After he was gone, we all let out heavy sighs, and I sank against the cushions of the couch.

“That was a no, right?” Duncan murmured, his face pressed into the pillows of the couch.

“That was a no,” I agreed. “He’s alright, but too shy. And his guitar skills need some work.”

“He was better than that asshole from before,” Ruby growled. The last interview we had was a cocky vamp who thought he was better than all of us. It felt a little like he thought this was an interview for us instead of for him. And he wasn’t even that good.

Laz dropped onto the couch next to Ruby, sinking low into his seat. “Any chance Artie can play guitar? He seems to be our saving grace lately.”

A smile bloomed across my face before I could stop it. Art really was worth his weight in gold. Since we were so busy with interviews, Art was calling around to some studios for us to find an opening that wouldn’t cost us an entire month’s rent. He started meeting us before shows, bringing us drinks and snacks so we didn’t have to rush around, and he figured out our schedules so we had good times for interviews. I wanted to handcuff that man to me so he’d never get away.

“Not that I know of. I can ask tomorrow.”

When I met Art after the show the night before, he asked me if I wanted to come spend time with him and Sophie on the weekend. She’d been trying to make friends with a paranormal boy at school and she had questions Art didn’t know how to answer. It felt good that he was asking for my help and I looked forward to seeing Sophie again. It meant I had to pretend to just be friends with Art for a day, but I could handle that. As long as I got to spend time with him, I was happy.

Ruby let out a frustrated groan and shoved to her feet. “Well, I’m gonna go shower and get ready. I’ve got a date tonight. Hopefully, it’ll turn out better than that interview.
