the first song that catapulted #1 secret to the top of the rock charts was "surrender" (actually by billy talent), written by the brains behind the band, mr.
bronx weston harlow. thousands of music obsessed teenagers fantasized about the mistress of the song, but that was something bronx would never give away, not even to his band mates. no one knew who the "flower in a field of weeds" was but bronx. that flower? her name? miss.
emmalynn nouvel banty, the estrogen of the band. from the moment bronx laid eyes on her at the london pub three years ago, he was sure of two things. first, that was the only guitarist who could complete #1 secret. second, he was completely and unquestionably in love with her.
a year after meeting emma, bronx wrote "surrender" and #1 secret recorded it. needless to say, the song was a youtube sensation. hollywood records immediately signed them, binding them to two records at the least. emma continued to dazzle bronx, inspiring more hits and songs. finally, vincent and --- began to catch on, realizing that bronx's songs had a strange relation to emma. the twosome tried convince bronx to share his feelings with emma, but bronx just never got around to it.
emma on the other hand, had always been in awe of bronx, just like thousands of other pubescent teenage girls who screamed their lungs out whenever they got a glimpse of #1 secret. thankful just to be a close friend in bronx's life, emma pushed aside her feelings and took a "realistic" view on her love life, deciding to pursue her attraction to
___ ___ lewis, vincent's drum tech. bronx caught onto emma's sudden interest in lewis, taking an immediate dislike to the guy. before emma or lewis decided to take their flirting to another level, bronx is determined to declare his love for emma.
