Draw the Shades and Close the Door (a Vic Fuentes Fanfic)

Chapter 35

~~Nina's P.O.V~~

It was now Friday an the day that Early Times were performing in the town hall. Vic had been really nervous all day and I had been nervous for him.

I had said goodbye to George 4 days ago and had almost cried but Vic had been there to comfort me. Him and Vic shook hands and I could tell they had a mutual appreciation for each other. George told Vic to look after me and he agreed that he would. I was glad my boyfriend and my brother got along well, it made life so much easier.

I was missing George still but not a much as I had imagined, I would see him again at Christmas and holiday etc.

I really wished I could have been there to see Vic perform but I already had commitment to a Regionals Hockey game. I had tried to get out of it but they had said they needed me as they only had just enough players. Vic was upset too but he understood why I couldn't be there.

~~Vic's P.O.V~~

I stood on the side of the stage nervous a fucking hell waiting till we could go on and perform. I could hear the crowd buzzing and chatting loudly to each other. It just filled me with more nerves knowing that they would all be watching the band and I in just under 5 minutes.

'Ok guys, everyone got their ear plugs in? Got all your equipment?' The guy helping out said.

'Yep.' We all agreed in unison.

'Ok, in 3, 2, 1.. On you go.' He ushered us into the stage.

The crowd went wild, cheering an shouting. None of them had ever heard us play but that didn't stop them. I was shaking like crazy and I knew Mike, Tony and Jaime would also be as nervous as me.

'Hello everyone!' I shouted into the Mic and got a huge cheer which filled me with a small bit of confidence. 'We are Early Times and were here to play you a few songs tonight! We hope you enjoy it! This first one is a song called Bestios that I wrote a few years back. Here we go!' Mike started up with the drums and then Tony came in with his amazing guitar playing.

The time came for me to sing and I tried to relax myself. Here we go I thought.

You're my favorite explosion.

A violin with no hands plays symphonies with no words.

A drowning boy with no voice prays someone up there's telling me,

You'd better not get back up!

I spit my heart into this red cup.

I'd better pick it back up, it might ruin your night.

And she said,

"Baby, leave the water by the bed for later,

and I woke up without a single drop.

I told myself I'm tired of holding up your backup plans.

Go down your list and be satisfied if all you have is not enough.

(True love comes from more than just the heart)

She said paint a picture on me,

throw your dress up and your heart away.

Yeah, I heard what you said.

A friend of a friend, these strangers at the party never paid.

And if that doesn't turn you on.

I'll keep talking till something does.

As we're covered in sand, you roll over and smile.

I told myself I'm tired of holding up your backup plans.

Go down your list and be satisfied it's all you have.

And until that day,

I'll steal you flowers from the cemetery, red roses.

Red rose of the dead.

How does it feel to breathe oxygen inside her head?

So say it, say I'm in love, cause you called me

crying from your job, said you just got fired.

And you don't have a backup plan,

so don't expect me to understand.

(A diamond bullet and a gun made of gold, she was covered in blood last seen in San Francisco)

Yeah!

We all breakdown.

Sometimes the bedroom walls become my only friends,

but they were there from beginning to end.

I'm tired of holding up your backup plans.

Go down your list and be satisfied it's all you have.

You know I've never held a gun in my life,

but now I carry one around in case I see you tonight.

Bedroom walls.

Oh, these bedroom walls.

Oh, I hate what it tastes like.

I finished singing and a huge cheer went up, loader than when we ha first walked in. I had relaxed half way through the song when I saw people's arms swinging backwards and forwards an people bobbing up and down to the music.

I was originally quite worried about the screaming I had out into that song. I had been screaming for a while now but had never performed in front of people but the crowd had liked it and I was glad.

'This next one is a cover of Beat it By Michael Jackson.'

Cheers flew as we played the rest of our set. I felt amazing and was absolutely buzzing.

'Ok this last one I wrote about 2 weeks ago and is called Kissing In Cars. I wrote it for my girlfriend Nina. We've been through quite a lot even though we've only been dating around 8 months but here we go.'

I thought of Nina while I was singing. I was upset that she wasn't here to see and hear this, it had been incredible and I know she would have wanted to see it.

Cause there's faith in love I finished singing and Nina's image came into my head. I thought of everything we had been through and thought about how we were still together. There was definitely faith in love.

'THANKYOU HEREFORD' I screamed into the microphone before walking off stage. I was drenched in sweat but I looked around and so were Mike, Tony and Jaime.

'Man that was sick!'Jaime screamed but it sounds quiet compared to the stage.

'Yeah that was awesome!' Mike agreed, along with Tony.

I had to admit, it had even one of the most amazing experienced ever and I hoped we had more chances in the future. The crowed had enjoyed it so I had hope.

'Good work guys, you're all really good, you might even get your own main stage show someday with other people supporting you. Well done.' The guy who had done our sound check said to us.

I really hoped what he said would come true and I knew the guys hoped too.

bit of a boring chapter so i shall update again in a second with a lot more drama :o
