Tony's p.o.v

   That kiss was still replaying in my head over and over again, how soft his lips were, and the spark I felt when we kissed, his smirk. "you're so cute Tony" his voice. Could we become something more? Maybe he's just pretending, a guy like him cant be gay or bi. I was in my room currently trying to figure out this math homework. How is square roots gonna help me when im in a band? I thought. My phone rang, I looked at the caller I.D. and saw it was Mike, my stomach started flipping

"Hello?" I asked blushing.

"Hey Tone, you fucking bitch! I hate you!" He yelled. W-Why did he call me that? I thought he liked me? I was so stupid! I hung up and threw my phone across the room, sat on my bed and cried. Did you seriously think he liked you? You're so stupid, he was playing! You'll never be liked by anyone. You'll die before this gets better. 

"Tony are you ok?'' My mom said rushing to me.

"Y-Yes mom i'm F-Fine" I said.

"No you"re not. Breathe in, breathe out" She said rubbing my back. Mike did the same which made me cry more.

    After a few minutes I calmed down. Mike was still in my mind but I tried not to think about him. 

"Are you ok now?" My mom asked.

"Yeah i'm fine" I said

"Ok get ready, I wanna take you out to eat." my mom said. Which made me happy, she never really has the time to hand out with me because of work. Mom left and I picked up my guitar and went to the roof. I looked up and saw all the beautiful stars shining. 

    I strummed a note and forgot everything. The way the sound echos makes me calm. I got a few notes together and sung. 

Freeze!
It's time to take you home,
it feels so early but I promised I would bring you to your door.
Now our lips are numb! 
As we walk, sharing warm alcohol
That kiss tastes like summer.

I hope you like the stars I stole for you,
One hundred million twinkle lights in neon blue.
I'll be the brightest someday!
I'll be the brightest someday!
I'll be the brightest, you'll see!

Don't rain on my parade, it's gonna glow in the dark.
I like it better when you can't keep warm.
Don't ruin a perfect thing, a perfect thing.
The boy on the blue moon dreams of sun.

Now as the rain falls like shattered pieces of glass from the sky,
we bleed like water colors and drunken pastels down the stairways.
And I ask myself, why do I still pray?
When will it end? And who fucking cares?

I swear to God I did what I could.
I practically begged you, I pretended everything was fine.
A soul sacrifice, an American nightmare.
I'd rather be dead.

Don't rain on my parade, it's gonna glow in the dark.
I like it better when you can't keep warm.
Don't ruin a perfect thing, a perfect thing.
The boy on the blue moon hears a nightmare in his head.

I'll bet you money as you're running to the bathroom,
you barely started drinking but your beauty never stopped you.
You died in California by the sulfur and the sea.
I guess I never should have loved you,
but I do forever 'cause you loved me.

And I break my glasses as I fall in the street!
If you were gonna leave this world how could it be without me?
Now it's all over my tongue and still it has no taste,
'cause without you there is no me.
There's no me at all.
Sometimes love dies like a dog.

(Why don't we just let this one take care of itself?)

Don't rain on my parade, it's gonna glow in the dark.
I like it better when you can't keep warm.
Don't ruin a perfect thing, a perfect thing.
The boy on the blue moon dreams...
Don't rain on my parade.
I'm losing a perfect thing, a perfect thing, a perfect thing.

   I stopped and the world hit me, it hit me hard, I looked at the stars again, and smiled.

"T-That was beautiful Tony" My mom said causing me to jump. 

"Thanks i've been working on it for a whlie.''

"You're gonna be sucesfull someday." She said. I smiled. "Now come on, lets go eat" She said.
