Us Aganist Ourselves

Chapter 8

6 months ago

The years passed rather quickly, Will and I moved around a bit, we would stalk Scarlett for a day before we would go somewhere else. Life moved on and I'd like to say so have we.

About two years ago we were singing in a bar and apparently this talent agent dude was there and took interest in us. At that point we had just met up with my old friends Ava and Don who were also with us at the bar.

Well, we came to a decision to check this guy out and well, he was legit. Granted we all still wanted our privacy so we under go make up sessions that change our appearance in the slightest but dramatic enough ways that we won't be recgonized in public. Otherwise known as our "Hannah Montana" moments.

Now, two years later we're a pretty accomplished group call Deserted Grey.

"

Take a breath, take it deep

"Calm yourself," he says to me

If you play, you play for keeps

Take the gun, and count to three

I'm sweating now, moving slow

No time to think, my turn to go

And you can see my heart beating

You can see it through my chest

Said I'm terrified, but I'm not leaving

I know that I must pass this test

So just pull the trigger

Say a prayer to yourself

He says, "Close your eyes, sometimes it helps"

And then I get a scary thought

That he's here means he's never lost

And you can see my heart beating

Oh, you can see it through my chest

Said I'm terrified, but I'm not leaving

Know that I must pass this test

So just pull the trigger

As my life flashes before my eyes

I'm wondering will I ever see another sunrise?

So many won't get the chance to say goodbye

But it's too late to think of the value of my life

And you can see my heart beating

Oh, you can see it through my chest

Said I'm terrified, but I'm not leaving, no

Know that I must pass this test

You can see my heart beating

Oh, you can see it through my chest

I'm terrified, but I'm not leaving, no

Know that I must pass this test

So just pull the trigger"

'Russian Roulette by Rhianna'

My voice echoes throughout the audience, there are some lighters out there. I close my eyes for a moment before I look back and smile at Will who is on the guitar. I turn around to see Ava and Don who are grinning at me. A glance back stage reveals Arya and Sam.

"THANK YOU AUSTIN!" I call, the crowd goes wild.

"Encore! Encore! Encore!" The shouts resonate througout the auditorium. Will walks up behind me and puts an arm around me and on my hip as he leans down to whisper in my ear.
