Gently into the good night

Chapter Seventeen- The Man Who Changed Everything

"Why can't you play this one tune properly dammit" Chris screams at Peter for messing up the tune for the 100th time.

"It's a stupid song" Peter snaps.

"You don't know how to sing nor do you know how to play the damn instrument." Chris yells throwing the glass on the floor causing it to shatters into a million pieces.

I rush up to the room in haste.

"I'm so sorry let me do it" he says offering

I beckon him to go and start practice.

"Okay let's do it again" Peter says highly frustrated.

Then they begin to sing

Well it's been building up inside of me

For oh I don't know how long

I don't know why

But I keep thinking

Something's bound to go wrong

But she looks in my eyes

And makes me realize

And she says ' Don't worry baby'

Don't worry baby

Don't worry baby

Everything will turn out alright

Don't worry baby

Don't worry baby

Don't worry baby

I guess I should've kept my mouth shut

When I started the brag about my car

But I can't back down now because

I pushed the other guys too far....

And Peter misses a note......

AGAIN.

"You idiot. How many times will you screw this up?"

"Shut up you aren't perfect either. It's going to take me sometime to fathom the whole song" Peter replies with agitation.

"Do you know that we have to sing it tonight?" Chris says sternly.

"Well we could just copy some band but no you just have to write your own damn song."

"I don't want to be accountable for plagiarism" Chris says reflecting his perspective.

"Well smartass we can actually let the people know that the song is by someone else. Sorry to spill it to you but I hope you know that we have been singing songs by other bands from the beginning of time." Peter yells back and gulps some water.

Chris just ignores his comment and looks at me.

"Amelia what do you reckon?" Chris asks me.

I look at them and say "A long day of practice"

[AUTOR'S NOTE: The song is 'Don't worry baby' by the 'Beach Boys']

"I am getting so nervous" Peter says as Naomi adjusts his tie.

"It's your job isn't it? You do it every day so what's so intimidating about today?" I ask getting a jug of water from inside.

"Well first of all it's a song written by Chris secondly it's a song written by Chris and thirdly it's a song written by Chris" Peter says
