Everything Has Changed

Eleven

"One, two, three, four!" The drummer shouted and we started the intro to Eskimo. 

"I once spoke to a meter maid
She said she liked the work but not the pay
Writing tickets while you run away afraid

I said hey to a polar bear
He said he liked it here but not over there
That's what it's like inside a dragon's lair
The ice is fading back"  

That was my part, did I nail it? I hope so. I played the acoustic the best to my abilities which was pretty damn good if I do say so myself. It was time to harmonize and I hope we can do this well.

"Ooh, Ooh, Ooh." Okay, okay. That wasn't bad. For the rest of the song, I played the guitar and I felt happy. Actually happy, the happiest I've been in a long fucking time. We stopped playing then Tris and Four cheered loudly and clapped. I smiled down at them and looked at Rob. "How was that?" I asked and he opened and closed his mouth like a fish out of water. "That was amazing!" Hid drummer piped up and I smiled at him. "Thanks man." I said and Rob smiled.

"He said you were good not fucking incredible." Rob said and I laughed a little. "So for this song, I can play electric guitar." I said referring to Eskimo. "Oh no way, awesome. We'll have you an electric and an acoustic for tomorrow. Let's get to Medicated guys!" Rob said and we started to play. This is my favorite song by them. 

"Pavement can caress, treads of my distress, grip onto the cow that is my seat and speed the plow

Your words were gentle oh, reflection in my window I knew you would be the kind of girl that I could talk to."

Rob started singing while looking at me as if he was talking to me. 

"And you seem like you're kinda strange
Why can't you be a little less insane? I may be crazy, at least I'm medicated. 

Later on that day, when the sun began to fade, the Nevada sky showed why it was Nevada. You said I was intense, I quietly took offense, you laughed but I didn't think it was funny" 

That was my part and Rob smiled when I started. He sang the rest of the song with the band and I smiled when it ended. "Okay, Claire, this is just you and me. You will play the acoustic and sing. Can you do that?" He asked and I nodded. "Alright, let's start." He said and I took the capo off the guitar and put it on the head. 

"She's a good girl, loves her mama
Loves Jesus and America too
She's a good girl, crazy 'bout Elvis
Loves horses and her boyfriend too

It's a long day livin' in Reseda
There's a freeway runnin' through the yard
And I'm a bad boy, 'cause I don't even miss her
I'm a bad boy for breakin' her heart"

I started and Rob smiled at me. "Okay you two, I know that you know this song, sing it with me." I said then Four, Tris, and Rob joined me.

"And I'm free, free fallin"

We sang together and I swear there was another voice in the mix but I ignored it. Rob started to sing the second verse and I smiled at him as I played the guitar. And again, we sang the chorus together with that other voice. I have no idea who that is. 

"I wanna glide down over Mulholland
I wanna write her name in the sky
I wanna free fall out into nothin'
Gonna leave this world for awhile

And I'm free, free falling"

Rob and I sang the last part together without the guitar and when we ended, there were applause from the band members, Four, Tris, and Jensen? I put the guitar down and walked off the stage. "Oh yeah, did I mention that Jensen will also be performing tomorrow too?" Rob said and I smiled. "No, you didn't mention that." I said and Four stopped me. "That was incredible Claire." He said and I hugged him then I hugged Tris.

"Yeah, that was insane! You did a great job." Tris said and I smiled at her. "Thank you both." I said and they both nodded. I walked up to Jensen and hugged him but he didn't hug me back. Weird... "Everything okay?" I asked and he looked at me with a cold expression. "We need to talk." He said coldly and I gave him a concerned look. "Okay? Give me a few minutes." I said and walked over to Four and Tris. 

"How long are you guys in town for?" I asked and they shrugged. "How long are you in town for?" Four repeated my question but directed it towards me. "Until Sunday." I said and they both nodded. "Also, what happened there? Did he do that to you?" Four asked pointing to the fading bruises around my throat then to Jensen. "What! No, Chandler found me one night and thank God Jensen was there. He saved my life." I said and Four nodded and Tris smiled. 

"Is that the new boyfriend?" She asked as Jensen started to walk over. "No we're-" I started but Four cut me off. "Just having fun?" He finished my sentence and frowned at me as Jensen walked up to us. "Hi, I'm Jensen Ackles." He said and Four stood straight and hardened his face. "Four." He said and shook Jensen's hand.

"Were one through three taken?" He asked as Four let go of his hand. Both me and Tris shared a worried look. We knew why he chose Four but he doesn't share it with other people. "Jensen!" I said and shot him a look. "Okay, let's go. Find me later guys okay? We need to catch up." I said then hugged Tris and gave Four a quick peck on the cheek and an apologetic look. 

Jensen and I walked outside and I looked at him. "What the hell is going on Jensen? What's wrong?" I asked actually concerned and he scoffed. "Who are you?" He asked and I looked at him confused. What the hell is he talking about? "Uh, if you're referring to my name, it's Claire Snow. You know that." I said and he shook his head. "Let me break it down then. Who were you?" He asked and I raised an eyebrow.

"I have no idea what you're talking about Jensen. I'm sorry." I said and he scoffed. "Yes you do. Back in Canada. Who. Were. You?" He asked more sternly and my heart sank. Oh shit, this can't be good he's acting like he already knows. "Look, it doesn't matter who I was." I said calmly trying to defuse the situation. 

"The hell it doesn't!" He shouted making me jump. He didn't realize it but if he did, he didn't care. "Don't you yell at me. I'm not gonna tell you that's final so just fucking drop it Jensen. Please, drop it." I said softly and started to walk back inside. "How many?" He said making me stop. "How many what Jensen?" I said turning around. I'm gonna fucking lose it and he won't like the outcome. 

"How many people did you kill in Canada?" He asked and I looked at him and shot his a glare. "How much blood is on your hands?" He continued and someone came out of the building. "How many innocent lives did you take?" He asked coldly. "Shut the fuck up Jensen. You have no idea what your talking about so fucking drop it!" I yelled at him and there was a hand on my shoulder.

"Calm down Claire. Let's go inside yeah?" It was Tris. Thank God, I was ready to fucking kill him. I walked inside and Four was sitting in a chair. When he saw me, his expression went from concerned to pissed. "Are you okay? What happened?" He asked and I nodded. "I'm fine. Drop it Four." I said and he nodded. "Come on, let's order room service and watch movies." I said and we all walked to the elevator.
