Chapter 2

"Ok we are going to do auditions from oldest to youngest, starting with the 19-21 age group and ending with the 10-13 age group." Gerard stated

"We will have you start off by singing Welcome to the Black Parade acapella, if you don't remember the lyrics or can't hit a note you have to drop out," Frank continued " One of us will then take you back individually to have you sing a song of your choice"

*Time skip*

"10-13" Ray called from the stage

We all got up and wandered onto the stage. Glancing around nervously I quickly got ready to sing. Ray cued us to start singing, so we did. I tuned out Hannah, Tunvee, and Bella's sing and focused on my own. I was just about to reach the high part so i started moving my pitch up the octave to avoid a voice crack. Finishing the song i slowly turned to face my friends, they were staring at me in shock.

It then hit me that they had all dropped out and I was the only one that had continued singing. Just then Gerard Frank and Mikey had reappeared from the other rooms they were in. Reading off a list Ray announced who we were paired with for the other song. Just my luck that I got paired with Mikey. Walking off the stage to stand by him I sighed, I looked extremely short compared to him.

Why couldn't I have gotten paired with frank, I thought. At least me and Frank were the same height, the beautifully short height of 5' 4". He led me into what I assumed was the choir room.

"So what are you going to sing?" He asked professionally

"I'm going to sing Helena." I said quickly

Pausing he asked "You're the girl that called me an asshat this morning this morning aren't you?"

Blushing I quickly replied "Yea, sorry I was really pissed off and in a rush this morning."

He just laughed and started the track for Helena. I started singing almost immediately getting lost in the music.

Long ago

Just like the hearse, you die to get in again

We are so far from you

Burning on just like a match you strike to incinerate

The lives of everyone you know

And what's the worst you take (worst you take)

From every heart you break (heart you break)

And like the blade you stain (blade you stain)

Well, I've been holding on tonight

What's the worst that I can say?

Things are better if I stay

So long and goodnight

So long and goodnight

Came a time

When every star fall brought you to tears again

We are the very hurt you sold

And what's the worst you take (worst you take)

From every heart you break (heart you break)

And like the blade you stain (blade you stain)

Well, I've been holding on tonight

What's the worst that I can say?

Things are better if I stay

So long and goodnight

So long and goodnight

And if you carry on this way

Things are better if I stay

So long and goodnight

So long and goodnight

Can you hear me?

Are you near me?

Can we pretend

To leave and then

We'll meet again

When both our cars collide.

What's the worst that I can say?

Things are better if I stay

So long and goodnight

So long and goodnight

And if you carry on this way

Things are better if I stay

So long and goodnight

So long and goodnight

Finishing the song I quickly dried tears that escaped my eyes. Helena had always meant a lot to me. It helped me get through the time when I was getting severely bullied at school. Mikey came over and gave me a hug.

Quickly Leaving the room to go find my friends. I checked my phone and saw that it was almost 6:00. Meaning that I had about fifteen minutes to get home. Quickly leaving with my friends I headed back to my house.
