Soon enough, it was Monday again. And just like any other time, I wish I wouldn't need to go.

I made myself look presentable wearing light washed ripped jeans matched with a cozy grey sweater paired with black toms and curling the ends of my hair. I applied makeup and was suddenly ready to go.

~*~

I felt relief when I entered my English class since now I knew someone there, Luke.

"Hi Luke" I slightly waved and smiled as he did the same. He tapped on the seat next to me and I sat there.

"So, are you feeling any better?" He asked and I nod.

~*~

I was walking towards the cafeteria when someone called my name. I turned around and faced Luke.

"Uh - do you want to lunch with me? Me and my friends have pizza." He said and I nod, walking towards him.

We went to the benches and sat next to his group of friends. I learned they were called Michael and Calum and they have a band.

I finished my last slice of pizza when my phone buzzed.

'Arabella ♡ : hey babe where are u?'

'Brooke ♡ : in the benches with Luke, Michael and Calum'

I didn't bother to wait for a reply since the bell rang.

I said my goodbyes and went to my next class.

~*~

The boys had invited me to see their band practice and I gladly accepted. So, when school ended, I sat between Luke and Calum in the back seat.

We reached a two story cream colored house and opened the door.

"Okay so this is the basement we are practicing and yeah" Luke points out. They all sit on leathered puffs and take their guitars out of their cases. Except Ashton, since he was the drummer.

"How about we play Jasey Rae by All Time Low?" Michael asks and they all nod.

Calum starts singing.

Lights out,
I still hear the rain,
These images that fill my head,
Now keep my fingers from making mistakes,
Tell my voice what it takes,
To speak up,
Speak up,
and keep my conscience clean when I wake.

Then Luke sings while playing his guitar.

Don't make this easy,
I want you to mean it,
Jasey. (say you'll mean it)
You're dressed to kill,
I'm calling you out, (don't waste your time on me)

Funny thing though, he wouldn't stop staring at me.

Now there's an aching in my back;
a stabbing pain that says I lack,
the common sense and confidence,
to bring an end to promises,
that I make in times of desperate conversation,
hoping my night could be better than theirs in the end.
Just say when.

But the thing is, I was staring back.

Don't make this easy,
I want you to mean it,
Jasey. (say you'll mean it)
You're dressed to kill,
I'm calling you out, (don't waste your time on me)

I've never told a lie,
and that makes me a liar,
I've never made a bet,
but we gamble with desire,
I've never lit a match,
with intent to start a fire,
but recently the flames,
are getting out of control.
Call me a name,
Kill me with words,
Forget about me,
It's what I deserve,
I was your chance,
to get out of this town,
but I ditched the car,
and left you to,

Wait outside,
I hope the air will serve to remind you,
that my heart is as cold as the clouds of your breath,
and my words are as timed as the beating in my chest.

And I didn't notice the song ended, because I was so lost in my thoughts.
