The Girl with the Orange Hair

Before I know it, Gemma is asleep, her head resting on my kneecap. My hand was resting on my kneecap before she even past out. Now, I can't even feel it. But I don't mind, she had one heck of a day. From across the bus, Tony's half asleep with Spencer practically laying on top of him. Damn, my brother makes things awkward.

"Comfy?" I ask Gemma in a soft voice.

So quiet, she doesn't reply. She's out cold. Am I the only one who's not asleep? I play around with Gemma's hair, absentmindedly. Her eyes open suddenly, looking at me.

"How long have I been asleep for?" She asks, a yawn slipping out.
"Only a few minutes. You fall asleep a lot." I answer.
"Oh shut up." Gemma replies and punches my arm playfully.

She fishes out her phone from her pocket, enters the password and turns on the first playlist she sees. Lacuna Coil's End of Time pours out and Gemma lightly bobs her head, words dripping off of her tongue.

"As I belong to you, my flesh and blood in you." She sings. "I can't make it through."

Oh. My. God. Her voice is beautiful, I thought to myself.

"I'm coming home again, and now I know where I belong." Gemma sings, her voice on the verge of cracking. But the thing is, it doesn't.

After a couple of minutes it ends, and I snatch the phone from her and press the repeat button.

"Parker!" She yelps.
"What? I want to hear your singing voice again." I tell her, wearing a smile.
Blushing madly, she asks, "Why don't you sing it with me?"
And together, we sing the song until it ends.

You've build your lies
Above the sand
You hold my hand
Before the end comes
Forgiving me for what I've done till the end of days

Cause I belong to you
Cause I am part of you
I am dying in your arms
It's time to go, I can't make it through

I've come to realize
Tonight my dear the end of time
Is not so far away
We cannot pray to save our lives

I can feel you and
I think that everything you wanted make
Was the mirror of your dreams
But I coudn't believe what you take

As I belong to you
My flesh and blood in you
I am burning in this fire
It's time to go
I can make it through

I've come to realize
Tonight my dear the end of time
Is not so far away
We cannot pray to save our lives

I've come to realize
Tonight my friend the end of time
Is not so far away
We cannot pray to save our lives

I'm coming home again
And now I know where I belong
Reeling from my instincts
Cause I realise I'm not alone

I've come to realize
Tonight my dear the end of time
Is not so far away
We cannot pray to save our lives

I've come to realize
Tonight my friend, the end of time
Is not so far away
We cannot pray to save our lives
