Chapter Twenty-One: Revelations

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It has been two hours since Aeanne left, which made me worry. The jock army had performed quite a lot of upbeat songs, making the crowd jump with glee. I didn't know that they actually had talent in them.

Niall and Amber never came back either. I was about to search for Aeanne, until Zayn spoke up again.

"How's everyone?!" He grinned when the crowd cheered. "Well, we have one song left, sorry."

The crowd whined, but he just laughed on the microphone.

"This one's actually written by our drummer, Josh."

They positioned themselves again. I realized that they didn't care anymore, with or without Niall, the show must go on.

"It's called Broken Angel." Liam announced, and soon Marcus was strumming on his guitar and Josh banging on his drums.

You showed him all the best of you

But I'm afraid your best

Wasn't good enough

And know he never wanted you

At least not the way

You wanted yourself to be loved

And you feel like you were a mistake

He's not worth all those tears that won't go away

I wish you could see that

Still you try to impress him

But he never will listen

Oh broken angel

Were you sad when he crushed all your dreams

Oh broken angel

Inside you're dying 'cause you can't believe

And now you've grown up

With this notion that you were to blame

And you seem so strong sometimes

But I know that you still feel the same

As that little girl who shined like an angel

Even after his lazy heart put you through hell

I wish you could see that

Still you try to impress him

But he never will listen

Oh broken angel

Were you sad when he crushed all your dreams?

Oh broken angel

Inside you're dying 'cause you can't believe

He would leave you alone

And leave you so cold

When you were his daughter

But the blood in your veins

As you carry his name

Turns thinner than water

You're just a broken angel
