Chapter 26: Shut up!

Aimee's P.O.V

I was standing backstage with my uncles and their band mates when Uncle Sebs cleared his throat. "You are going to be amazing Aimee. I know you will be." He told me as he knelt down in front of me and kissed me on the cheek.

"I just wish mummy and daddy were here to see it." I replied to him. I had invited them but my mum and dad couldn't make it because they were doing something else. Pierre and Chuck promised to record it though so my mum and dad could watch me when they came down later that week.

"I'm sure they want to be here as well. But I know they will be thinking about you and they will see it when they come down on Friday." David reassured me as he squeezed my hand. Brianna the person who was the club leader of the summer club I was going to came on stage as another girl finished. She called out my name and I took a deep breath before I hugged everyone and picked the guitar up. I went on stage and sat down before I looked out at the audience. I took another deep breath before I spoke into the mic that was already set up so everyone was able to use it.

"This first song is a song by my mum. It's called Skyscraper and it's helped me through some rough times recently. This song is dedicated to my sensory issues. You can try and control everything and break everything I have but you will never be able to break me down. I'm stronger then you are." I looked at the side of the stage as my uncles gave me a thumbs up. I copied them before I looked down at the guitar and started strumming the chords.

Skies are crying

I am watching

Catching teardrops in my hands

Only silence, as it's ending, like we never had a chance

Do you have to, make me feel like there's nothing left of me?

[Chorus]

You can take everything I have

You can break everything I am

Like I'm made of glass

Like I'm made of paper

Go on and try to tear me down

I will be rising from the ground

Like a skyscraper

Like a skyscraper

As the smoke clears

I awaken, and untangle you from me

Would it make you, feel better to watch me while I bleed?

All my windows, still are broken

But I'm standing on my feet

[Chorus]

You can take everything I have

You can break everything I am

Like I'm made of glass

Like I'm made of paper

Go on and try to tear me down

I will be rising from the ground

Like a skyscraper

Like a skyscraper

[Bridge]

Go run, run, run

I'm gonna stay right here

Watch you disappear, yeah

Go run, run, run
