Sad Song (Garmau AU) • Undergoing Editing

><Aphmau><

I was sitting at the vanity, having my makeup fixed by Kawaii~Chan, Katelyn trying to decide between outfits for Alex and myself. They both had followed the bus all the way to Falconclaw, planning to continue to follow to help with the rest of the tour.

My insides were churning unlike before. I was used to performing, sure, but the fact that I was going on tour was enough to make me flush of all blood.

Kawaii~Chan ended up poking my eye with the mascara brush and I immediately clutched my watering eye, reaching for a tissue on the vanity.

"Kawaii~Chan is so sorry, Aphmau~Senpai," Kawaii~Chan exclaimed, bouncing nervously on the balls of her feet, not knowing what to do.

"Don't worry about it. It's nothing major," I answered, "I'll just continue on from here, if that's okay. Thanks for helping, though!"

Kawaii~Chan smiled slightly and scurried off to help Katelyn with the outfits. As I was fixing the eyeliner and mascara, I caught the sight of a pair of onyx eyes in the mirror.

"Could you convince your bluenette friend over there to not give me bright colors? I just want dark tones but she completely has her heart set on blue."

"Yeah, sure. Hey, Katelyn!" She looked up from the leather outfits, "Just give us both an all black outfit, okay?"

She huffed, "Fffine."

"Thanks," she said as I set the makeup brushes down and started to stuff them into my makeup bag, "Sasha told me to tell you we have half an hour until we we begin the concert."

"M'kay," I said, standing up from the stool and taking the outfit that Katelyn had set out, which was a black off-shoulder top, black ripped skinny jeans, and wedge-heeled booties.

After changing into the outfit, I began to walk towards the backstage, where a crowd was gathering. Screams of the fans were heard from out in the stands, and it filled me with adrenaline, ridding me of any trace of nervousness or anxiety.

I stood there for several long minutes, waiting for my time. And finally, Alex and I were pushed out on to the stage, and began to sing. (Play video - All credit belongs to Little Mix)

{ Bold = Alex  Italics = Aphmau  Both }

She lives in the shadow of a lonely girl
Voice so quiet you don't hear a word
Always talking but she can't be heard

You can see it there if you catch her eye
I know she's brave but it's trapped inside
Scared to talk but she don't know why

Wish I knew back then what I know now
Wish I could somehow
Go back in time and maybe listen to my own advice

I'd tell her to speak up, tell her to shout out
Talk a bit louder, be a bit prouder
Tell her she's beautiful, wonderful,
Everything she doesn't see

You gotta speak up, you gotta shout out
And know that I'm right here right now
You can be beautiful, wonderful,
Anything you want to be

Little Me

Yeah you got a lot of time to act your age
You can't write a book from a single page
Hands on the clock only turn one way

Run too fast and you'll risk it all
Cant be afraid to take a fall
Felt so big but she looks so small

Wish I knew back then what I know now
Wish I could somehow
Go back in time and maybe listen to my own advice

I'd tell her to speak up tell her to shout out
Talk a bit louder be a bit prouder
Tell her she's beautiful, wonderful,
Everything she doesn't see
(and know that I'm right here right now)

You gotta speak up, (speak up)
You gotta shout out (shout out)
And know that right here right now
You can be beautiful, wonderful,
Anything you want to be

Oh Little Me

Little Me Yeah

Tell you one thing I would say yeah

I'd tell her to speak up, tell her to shout out
Talk a bit louder be a bit prouder
Tell her she's beautiful, wonderful,
Everything she doesn't see

You gotta speak up , you gotta shout out
And know that right here right now
You can be beautiful, wonderful,
Anything you want to be

I'd tell her to speak up, tell her to shout out
Talk a bit louder be a bit prouder
Tell her she's beautiful, wonderful,
Everything she doesn't see

You gotta speak up , you gotta shout out
And know that right here right now
You can be beautiful, wonderful,
Anything you want to be

I'd tell her to speak up, tell her to shout out
Talk a bit louder be a bit prouder
Tell her she's beautiful, wonderful,
Everything she doesn't see

You gotta speak up , you gotta shout out
And know that right here right now
You can be beautiful, wonderful,
Anything you want to be

Little Me

This song holds special meanings to me. Plus, I thought it just fit Aphmau's and what I got from Alex's personality.

I've also been obsessed with Little Mix lately, and that has a significant reason as to why I chose this song.

Also, thanks so much for 4k Views! I'll try to think of something to do as an even further 'Thank You.'

Thanks for reading! Mwah!
