—Dani's POV—
I got down from the stage and thanked Thor for the help outside.
"Oh it's no problem at all. Gave off a better vibe than just lights. You were great." He said and clapped a hand to my shoulder.
"I knew the song would be great! I'm proud of you!" Clint said as he ran up and lifted me into a hug.
"I've got a few more songs ready to go already too. So it would be fun to do this often." I said and smiled at him.
I made my way through the crowd to the bar for a drink. I could feel someone staring me down but couldn't figure out who it was.
I poured whiskey into a glass and jumped onto the bar. I sat there and watched everyone, sipping my drink occasionally.
"That was incredible." Someone said from beside me. I turned to see Bucky standing beside me.
"Thanks. When I woke up I had the chorus stuck in my head so for the rest of that day I put together the rest of it. I have more already written and ready to go." I said, honestly proud of my own writing.
"You wanna go somewhere quiet?" He asked, putting his hand out for me to take. And I did. Holding his hand, I jumped down from the bar and he lead me up a flight of stairs and out to the roof.
"So what got you into music? More specifically, what got you into writing it?" He asked and leaned against a wall.
"I have issues containing certain feelings and emotions. For a long time I didn't know how to handle it. But then one day I was singing on my balcony and Clint overheard me. We became friends and he taught me how to put all my feelings and emotions into songs. So whenever I'm feeling something I know I can't control, I write. And I turn it into songs." I said, still not ready or wanting to tell him about my abilities.
"That's really cool. Sing me something no one else has heard?" He asked, putting his hands in his pockets. God he's hot.
"Uh, okay. Give me a minute. I have melodies on my phone to go off of." I said and scrolled through my phone trying to find one worthy of singing alone. In front of him. Just the two of us.
"Okay, here hold this." I said and handed him my phone. I took a deep breath and began singing.
"If you had it all would it be enough?
Can you find your way and still be lost?
I write songs about being someone else
That say "Fuck the world" but not "I need help"
Yeah, everybody tells me it's alright
Everybody tells me I'll be fine
Everything is not o'fucking kay
Oh, but they can't tell me why
I put the picture on the shelf
Leave the memory behind
But the truth is I can't say goodbye
So I made friends with all my demons
Let 'em sink their teeth in
Got used to the feeling of letting it go
So give me something to believe in
Or throw me in the deep end
It all feels the same with your eyes closed
So you can throw me in the
Deep end (deep)
Deep end (deep end)
Deep end (deep)
Deep end
On the same old path again, from where I'm at to where I've been
I'd drift away and you'd pull me in, but the waves are deep
And I'm wearing thin, yeah
I caught myself in a lie
Guess I'm just calling to say you were right
I carry the weight of the world in my head
And it keeps me up at night
And everybody tells me it's alright
Everybody tells me I'll be fine
Everything is not o'fucking kay
Out of all the times that I've tried
I find the air is thin and I'm against the wind
With each mountain left that I climb
But the truth is I can't say goodbye
So I made friends with all my demons
Let 'em sink their teeth in
Got used to the feeling of letting it go
So give me something to believe in
Or throw me in the deep end
It all feels the same with your eyes closed
So you can throw me in the
Deep end (deep)
Deep end (deep end)
Deep end (deep)
'Cause everything is changin', memories are fadin'
Tell me that I'm fucked up
I wanna hear you say it (say it)
All my fears are slowly rearranging
Pushed them all aside but
I can feel them waiting
'Cause everything is changin'
Memories are fadin'
Tell me that I'm fucked up
I wanna hear you say it
All my fears are slowly rearranging
Pushed them all aside but
I can feel 'em waiting
So I made friends with all my demons
Let 'em sink their teeth in
Got used to the feeling of letting it go
So give me something to believe in
Or throw me in the deep end
It all feels the same with your eyes closed
So you can throw me in the
Deep end (deep)
Deep end (deep end)
Deep end (deep)
Deep end
It all feels the same with your eyes closed.." I finished singing and looked up to see him standing much closer than he was before.
"What happened to you, Dani?" He asked sadly.
"I... what do you mean?" I asked, not quite understanding.
"Who hurt you so bad to make such a sad song?" He asked.
"I've never been the girl someone wants. I've never had a mom. Or a dad. I don't remember much other than the name he went by. I was 10 when he left. Since then I was in and out of foster homes. No one wanted me. There's a big secret about me that only myself and Clint know about and I can't let that side of me show. It's too dangerous. So instead, I put everything into my music." I said, revealing maybe a little too much.
"Is that where these came from?" He asked, pulling up the sleeves of my jacket. Immediately I pulled them back down.
"I really don't want to talk about that. I don't know you well enough to be giving you my whole life story." I said defensively.
"Hey, you don't have to talk about it. But please know, you can talk to me. I'm very good at keeping secrets." He said and pulled me into him. Hugging me. My entire body relaxing into him. This is different.
