Save Me. [ in editing ]

Sixteen

The lights were shining in my eyes as I took my sweaty hand and ran it through my hair making it more of a mess than it already was.

"I'm surprised, I honestly am. You guys fucking rock and some of you say you heard of us and came to see us? That's amazing." I said breathlessly.

"You guys need to spread the word, you have no idea how much this means to us. We're traveling all over America. So sign us up, we're ready to party all over." Chase said stealing my mic.

"Hey Chase?"

"Yes May?"

"Do you think these amazing fans deserve something special?"

"I would think so." He winked at me.

"Okay, how about we sing a classic... Dead! By My Chem?"

Cheers erupted from the crowd and we smiled brightly.

"I promise we do write our own songs. But we haven't gotten very far yet. Maybe only 6 or 7. Ryan, can you back that up?"

"7."

"Thanks man. So, without further a due."

A pause for dramatic affect.

"DEAD!"

We sang like there was no tomorrow, we were jumping and yelling and running around like crazy people but everyone was loving it. When the song ended I looked up and pushed my hair out of my face and smiled a genuine smile out at the crowd.

"Thank you so much for joining us tonight, remember we'll be traveling around so just look for us."

The cheers had long faded as we packed up. My ears were ringing with excitement and adrenaline. I sighed and put the last of the equipment into the trailer.

"You guys ready to head back to the hotel?"

"Yeah, I'm exhausted, and could use a nice shower." Ryan joked.

When we got back to the room and changed I layed down on the bed under the covers. I couldn't sleep and it was about two in the morning. My eyes burned with exhaustion but my mind was so awake.

I quietly got out of bed and went over to the dresser and turned on the lamp. I pulled out my notebook and pen and started to write some things down off of the top of my mind.

I can't find my way,
What's in it to find,
I'm the same old person,
Nothing on my mind.

My eyes burn for sleep,
Something says no,
If I don't die from bleeding,
I'll die from no hope.

I've got an awake mind,
And open eyes,
The blades are telling me 'hello'

I sighed and put my notebook away and turned the lamp off with a click and climbed back into the bed next to Chase.

Tonight is going to be a long night.
