Anna's POV

Right now we're setting up the stage for Pierce The Veil, they're playing today in like 10 minutes. We just finished and I was about to walk of stage when Vic called my name.

"Yea?" I turned around.

"You should stay side stage, instead of in the crowd." He said, pulling me closer to him.

"Okay, why?" I asked.

"Cause I have a surprise for you... Sort of." He smirked and got on the stage. I turned around and Jaime was there.

"Jaime do you know what Vic is planning?" I asked, he smiled.

"Yep, he's going to call you on stage to sing and to play the song "The Sky Under The Sea"." He said and ran on stage.

"No! What the fuck?!" I yelled, Vic taught me how to play that song on guitar a few weeks ago and I can sing, but I get scared in front of a whole bunch of people.

I sat on the chairs side stage and listened to them play their amazing songs. We all graduated High School, and finally get to start our lives. I still work at the music shop and that kimda sucks but no one really comes, so I get to think about life. And Gerard moved to New York which sucks but we still talk so its not that bad.

I was cut off from my thoughts by Vic's voice.

"So my girlfriend is over there and she's gonna come up and sing this song. Her name's Anna, so come on up!" My heart started beating and I walked on stage. Everyone was cheering which made me feel a little better. Vic passed me his acoustic guitar. I sat down and adjusted the microphone to my liking.

"Um hi I'm Anna, and I'm gonna sing a song called 'The Sky Under The Sea'." I said, and started playing the guitar.

(A/N its up there, so you can listen to a cover.)

I still remember the night you tried to kiss me through the window.
I tried to settle for the taste of touching glass over the sound of
answering machines, because I love the way your voice
it says it's gonna get back to me someday.
As I brace my knees you hold me down with your eyes.

Someday I'll drive, close both my eyes.
We'll swim in circles in the blue lights,
it's gonna be the best day of my life.

Oh my God
You'll never be as beautiful without me.
Beauty needs an animal to breathe,
and baby you'll be alright as long as I'm not.
So do that dance in the dark,
sharpen your teeth and bite as hard as you want.

Someday I'll drive, close both my eyes.
We'll swim in circles in the blue lights.
And I just want to fade away into the sky under the sea.
A million kisses underwater as we walk into the ocean.
And this is gonna be the best day of my life,
a celebration of an ending.

And do you really trust your tongue or did you bury the taste?
And is this fantasy real, or is it all home-made?
And did you call me last night just 'cause you couldn't get laid?
Ladies and gentlemen, I introduce the selfish machine.

Do you think you're the only one?
Do you think you're the only one?
Do you think you're the only one afraid of this machine?

Someday I'll drive, close both my eyes.
I'll be your breath if you can be mine.
And I just want to fade away into the sky under the sea.
A million kisses underwater as we walk into the ocean waves.
Do you see me at all under the tall waves?
Do you see me at all?
