Deja vu (Chapter 17)

Laurie's POV

6th concert of the year. Fucking 'dreading' it.. whatever -- I don't know, It's like, I'm getting the feeling that I just want to curl up to a ball and die.

Life is looking insanely meaningless to me right now..

I'm sick because all of the partying and drugs and alcohol.. I want bill. I want bill to be here with me, comforting me and taking care of me..

I sniffled, wiping the tears from my face as I fixed my posture and grabbed the mic and guitar in my left.

I want to do this. I have to do this.
Bill has been gone for way too fucking long and I can't live knowing full well that he's in a fucking coma in a hospital, suffering.

This is all too much -- I can't do this anymore. I can't, not without him. I shook my head with a tear falling down my eye, saddened by my thoughts.

The concert was starting.

My eyes were puffy and red from all the crying since yesterday and it hasn't stopped since.

I could hear the drums and other instruments starting to play. After a couple of seconds, it was my cue to come to the stage.

I appeared on the stage, fighting to hide the sorrowful emotion plastered in my face.

"Everybody, make some goddamn noise!"

I shouted putting the widest but fakest smile in my face.

The fans went completely loud, nearly like animals.

Other fans even put up their signs, with them shouting for me to see it. If I'm being honest -- there was a lot of signs.

I didn't know which one to read so I just began to strum my guitar, which caused the crowd being crazy.

"Alright! Getting wild tonight, are you guys?"

I chuckled at the mic as they screamed uncontrollably.

Then, i saw a familiar face in the crowd but decided to ignore it since I've been seeing a lot of stuffs lately.

It was time. I let out a small sigh before beginning.

"I can be tough, I can be strong.
But with you.. it's not like that at all."

I finally started to sing but confusion started to plant on my face as the familiar face started to walk closer..

"There's a girl.. that gives a shit.
Behind this wall, you just walk through it."

And closer..
