The day after the performance

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(Trinity's P.O.V.)

"When the days are cold

And the cards all fold

And the saints we see

Are all made of gold

When your dreams all fail

And the ones we hail

Are the worst of all

And the blood's run stale

I want to hide the truth

I want to shelter you

But with the beast inside

There's nowhere we can hide

No matter what we breed

We still are made of greed

This is my kingdom come

This is my kingdom come

When you feel my heat

Look into my eyes

It's where my demons hide

It's where my demons hide

Don't get too close

It's dark inside

It's where my demons hide

It's where my demons hide

When the curtain's call

Is the last of all

When the lights fade out

All the sinners crawl

So they dug your grave

And the masquerade

Will come calling out

At the mess you made

Don't want to let you down

But I am hell bound

Though this is all for you

Don't want to hide the truth

No matter what we breed

We still are made of greed

This is my kingdom come

This is my kingdom come

When you feel my heat

Look into my eyes

It's where my demons hide

It's where my demons hide"

I sang softly as I strummed the guitar. I was sitting on a stool on the streets. I didn't play music just for money, but for enjoyment of others. I decided the end the song there and placed my guitar back in its case. Just then, I heard a familiar voice behind me.

"I didn't know you sang." He said.

"You don't know a lot of things about me." I replied. After all that happened to me, I knew I shouldn't trust him.

"Give me a chance to get to know you then?" He muttered. I spun around in surprise. "You are Zach Beeken, part of the famous X-Factor group Restless Road. Why on earth would you want to know ME?" I snapped. He looked rather shocked but still answered my question. "You're different." I rolled my eyes and picked up my guitar case. "Good luck then." Why must this always happen to me?

I just didn't understand. Why on earth was she mad? "Wait!" I called after her. "Can I just...get to know you better over a coffee? Please?" I begged. She sighed but nodded. "When?"

"Tomorrow at 10."

"See you there then." I watched her retreating back and headed back to the hotel.

"Hey." I muttered as I stepped into our room, effectively ending the pillow fight between Andrew, Colton, Alex and Sierra. Alex and Sierra had been bored and trooped to our room earlier that day. I collapsed on the armchair. "Well, don't let my entrance stop your wild pillow fight." I told them. Andrew grinned. "You got her, didn't you?" He asked, getting straight to the point. "Perhaps. How'd you guess?" I replied.

"You're acting tired but you have this kind of glow when you're really happy." He smiled. "Please tell me we have nothing on tomorrow." I begged. Colton frowned. "I think we have a meeting with Simon at 11." I groaned and closed my eyes. "Why? You're not telling us you have a date at 11a.m. right?" He asked. I shook my head. "Then why-"

"I've got one at 10!" I sighed and massaged my temples. Andrew and Colton exchanged a look. "Tough luck man. You have to rush then. Simon hates to be kept waiting." I nodded. Hopefully, I could make it in time.
