Chapter#16
_____________
Sam’s POV
“Scarlett a karaoke bar, really?” I whine. “It wasn’t my idea it was Jeremy’s. The rest of the cast is here. Come on.” She urges me. “Ok fine. I’m coming.” I tell her. “Hey I didn’t think you would be able to get her in here.” Jeremy says. “Fuck you.” I tell him. “I’m not singing.” I add. “Oh we put your name in your up after this pour soul.” Chris H tells me. “Fine what song do you want me to sing?” I ask. “Actually I know. Scarlett has heard this one.” I say. “HEY ANYONE HERE WILLING TO PLAY THE GUITAR IF I GIVE YOU SHEET MUSIC?!” I yell out. “I’ll do it. My name’s Benji.” The man says. “Ok Benji, here's the music let’s do this it looks like we’re up. OK EVERYONE THIS IS 'PRETEND MY PAIN AWAY’ FROM MY NEW ALBUM THAT’S COMING OUT ON FRIDAY! HIT IT BENJI!” I call out getting a bunch of cheers

“Tell my Mother tell my Father”
“I’m so sorry I was never good enough”
“In your eyes I know I’ll always be a monster”
“Like who I am made me impossible to love”
“When I just needed empathy”
“You buried me in so much shame”
“I won’t apologize for who I am no not for one more day”

“I can’t pretend my pain away”
“I can’t out run the pouring rain”
“In my head in my head it’s like I’m hiding a hurricane”
“I can’t pretend my pain away”
“Judge me for what I can not change”
“When I’m dead”
“When I’m dead”
“You’re gonna wish you believed”

“You make me feel like such a burden”
“Like my sickness is my fault can’t take this shame”
“I wish that you could see my pain just like a cancer”
“I’d be a hero not a lier like you say”

“I can’t pretend my pain away”
“I can’t out run the pouring rain”
“In my head in my head it’s like I’m hiding a hurricane”
“I can’t pretend my pain away”
“Judge me for what I can not change”
“When I’m dead”
“When I’m dead”
“You’re gonna wish you believed”

“When I needed to be loved”
“You were the jury and the judge”
“Refused to understand”
“It messed me up so bad”
“The more you tried the less it helped”
“It only made me hate myself”
“Can’t stand one second more in the house you never were”

I can’t pretend my pain away”
“I can’t out run the pouring rain”
“In my head in my head it’s like I’m hiding a hurricane”
“I can’t pretend my pain away”
“Judge me for what I can not change”
“I’m not dead no not yet”
“I’m beggin you to believe me”

“Hey, that's a really good song.” Benji tells me after we are done. “And you are a really great guitarist. What do you say we partner up.” I ask him. “That sounds great. Here’s my number, give me a call and we'll meet up sometime.” He says handing me a piece of paper. “Can’t wait. Thanks for your help tonight.” I tell him before he leaves. I get back to our booth and everyone is silent. “That was raw. I could feel your pain.” Mark  says. “Thanks I think.” I say to him. “That was a great song. I can't wait for your album to drop on Friday.” Chris E tells me. “Thanks and it seems I just got myself another band member.” I say holding up the piece of paper. "I'm happy for you babe you've been looking for someone for a while. Is it Benji the man that was playing the guitar?" Sarlett asks. "Yes it is."

“We are doing the final bits for the movie today so it shouldn’t take to long.” Scarlett tells me as she leaves the trailer. I sneak out to get some pictures and I get a really good one she might kill me but I got it.

“They did so well. See you at the permire everyone.”
