Complicated One Shots(~~MiChaeng~~)

Complicated

Mina

I am sitting in a high stool chair holding the wired mic in front of dozen regulars: to which I am familiar and some newcomers who struggle to hold their shot glass, as they face the stage trying their best to be sober enough to hear what the band was about to play. A loud screeching sound coming from the mic caught everyone's attention. The sound was not pleasant. I heard everyone groan in frustration. I immediately fix the mic afraid of the fact a lot of people might leave.

I cleared my throat over the mic, this caught the attention of everyone inside the bar. The surrounding starts to be expectantly silent.

I started to count and glance over our guitarist and drummer, "3, 3-2-1,"

I started singing in a melodious tone with the song of Avril Lavigne's "Complicated."

🎶

Uh huh, life's like this
Uh huh, uh huh, that's the way it is
'Cause life's like this
Uh huh, uh huh, that's the way it is

I hold the mic against my lips feeling every beat of the song, I turn and look for approval with my music companions behind me playing instruments.

Chill out, what ya yellin' for?
Lay back, it's all been done before
And if, you could only let it be, you will see
I like you the way you are
When we're driving in your car
And you're talking to me one on one, but you become

After singing a couple of verse, I started to relax and feel the way the music flow. My body tingles with every beat and melody I hear. I close my eyes and continue singing, 

Somebody else
'Round everyone else
You're watching your back
Like you can't relax
You try to be cool
You look like a fool to me
Tell me

Music has been a passion of mine since I was young. When the chorus was about to be sung, I open my eyes and stared mindlessly in the crowd. A pair of eyes met mine. 

Why'd you have to go and make things so complicated?
I see the way you're acting like you're somebody else
Gets me frustrated
Life's like this, you
And you fall, and you crawl, and you break
And you take what you get, and you turn it into
Honesty and promise me I'm never gonna find you faking
No, no, no

 A girl  amidst the drunken costumers of the bar, seated nearly in the last row of tables. I sung loudly as I settled my eyes on hers. My voice so unlike my speaking voice. She doesn't even budge the eye contact between us and kept her eyes on me. 

You come over unannounced
Dressed up like you're somethin' else
Where you are and where it's at you see
You're making me
Laugh out when you strike your pose
Take off all your preppy clothes
You know you're not fooling anyone
When you become

I seen her chuckle when she heard the line. I stand on my stool chair and started leaving my trace on the small stage, walking around when the high note comes, I prepared and sung my heart out.
