“Tessa, you used to be in Avery Band?” Ysabel looked like she couldn’t believe her cars.

“Tessa, please–do it for me. I really don’t want all our hard work to go to waste.”

Steven, about the same age as Tessa, looked up at her with wide, pleading eyes.

“Ms. Sinclair, Avery Band signed a high–stakes agreement with the label this time. If the concert can’t go on tonight, the band will be facing a massive compensation payout.” The manager was on the verge of panic. She had agreed to that contract because she was sure Avery Band was a guaranteed win.

She never imagined something like this would happen.

“What? That was part of the deal?” Tessa couldn’t believe what she was hearing.

The manager’s eyes started to well up. “Thinking about it now, it’s obvious–the company set us up.”

All over money. The band worked themselves to the bone, and even if they got a share of the profits, what was wrong with that?

“What they want is just a band that obeys.” But Avery? He was never going to be one of those obedient, manufactured stars. He had his own vision.

He wanted to bring real rock music back to the top.

Tessa glanced at him and suddenly understood. Of course. There was no way Avery would ever fall in line.

Everyone in this band had real talent. Even on their own, any one of them could outperform the current pop idols.

“Alright, I get it. If that’s how it is, then this concert is happening no matter what. Steven, give me your stage outfit. Avery, I need the setlist for tonight.”

The rest of the band lit up with excitement when they saw her finally agree. It had been so long since they played with her–and no one brought the same energy as Tessa did.

“Tessie, I’m gonna head out then. I’ll go tell my Uncle Landon what’s going on, or else he’ll get worried.” They’d already been backstage way longer than expected.

“Okay.” It had been a while since she was last on stage, but somehow, she found herself missing it.

The manager waved over a stylist to get Tessa ready while she reviewed the songs.

Luckily, even though she hadn’t been in the band these last couple of years, she’d kept up with their music. Avery Band was everywhere now–on the streets, on the radio. She knew every beat.

Back in the VIP seats, Ysabel rejoined the group. Seeing she was alone, Landon frowned slightly. “Where is she? Didn’t you leave together?”

“Tessie said she had something to take care of and told me to come back first. Don’t worry, Uncle Landon.

Some were screaming at the top of their lungs. Finally–they were here, live at Avery Band’s concert, seeing their idols in person.
