My voice range throughout the field as I sang the last line of the song, "...tired of being what you want me to be." I always liked Linkin Park's Numb so being able to be here and sing it for everyone felt great. While it lasted. Everyone burst into loud clapping and cheers as I waved and announced the next time I'd be performing and where with my practiced voice. Me and my band packed up the remaining equipment and lugged it into the van.
"Hey Ethan!" My twin brother called from the van. I walked around to the passenger door and sat next to him. "Sup Ty?"
"You were awesome tonight! Do you think I could join you next time?" I nodded with a faint smile on my face and put my seatbelt on. After everyone was in the van we drove off to our cabin. It was a pretty nice and cozy place in a forest no one bothered to go into. As we drove up the barely visible path I spotted the building and unbuckled myself before the car even stopped. "Hey! Your supposed to do that AFTER the car stops Ethan!" My brother lectured. "Okay, okay, I'm sorry." I chuckled and hopped out after we parked and helped the guys bring the gear into the cabin.
It was pretty big for a cabin and couldn't really be considered a cabin with how big and detailed it was but that's what we called it. We all sat down in front of the unlit fireplace on the big leather couches and watched the tv mounted on the wall. "So Ethan, what are you singing next time?" I thought for a moment and considered it. I still had 2 weeks to plan it out but I wasn't worried. "I dunno, probably some more Linkin Park and maybe try out some dubstep music." Zane, the person who asked the question, sat back and looked deep in thought.
"I've always wondered, how do you change your voice like that, I mean you can even sound like a girl! You also do an amazing electronic voice without a machine of some sort to help." I shrugged and replied with a simple, "I dunno, I've always been able to just, do it."
Ty must've heard us and spoke up. "We've both always been able to, some weird little talent we share. I'm just not as good at it." He grinned and turned back to the tv. "Oh, you can do it Ty?" The other Zane asked. Yes, we have 2, they're twin brothers as well but the second one's name is spelled as Xayne. Ty nodded enthusiastically and faced us again. "Can you show us?" Now everyone was facing us, Zane, Xayne, and Alec. "Sure, but I'm better at the electronic voice somehow despite my deep voice."
"Oh, so can you do a Nightcore?" Me and Ty nodded and looked at each other. "How 'bout we do one together? Take turns with sentences?" I nodded and grinned slightly, standing up. Ty got up next to me and turned off the tv then searched his phone for a song. "How about this one? It's not really electronic but I can show you that I can change my voice!" Ty offered and showed me the screen. I nodded, stilling grinning. Glad you came.
Ty set up the background music to one of the speakers and beckoned for me to come over. Ty started first when the music came on. (I'm gonna put a line break and an initial everytime they switch who's singing, ok)
T-"The sun goes down, the stars come out."
E-"And all that counts is here and now."
T-"My universe will never be the same."
T & E-"I'm glad you came."
T- "You cast a spell on me."
E- "Spell on me."
T- "You hit me like the sky fell on me."
E- "Fell on me."
T- "And I decided you look well on me."
E- "Well on me."
T- "So let's go somewhere no-one else can see, you and me."
E- "Turn the lights out now."
T- "Now I'll take you by the hand."
E- "Hand you another drink."
T- "Drink it if you can."
E- "Can you spend a little time."
T- "Time is slipping away."
E- "Away from us so stay."
T- "Stay with me I can make."
E- "Make you glad you came."
T & E- "The sun goes down, the stars come out, and all that counts, is here and now. My universe will never be the same, I'm glad you came. I'm glad you came."
We sang the rest of the song, eyes closed and arms enter twined. When we finished and opened our eyes we saw the band just staring at us. I also noticed our arms and became confused. "When did that happen?" Ty looked down as well and gave me a shrug, moving our arms away from each other. The band just seemed shocked and I snapped my fingers in front of the twins face while Ty did the same to Alec. They blinked and said in awe, "Wow, you sounded amazing." Alec nodded and looked at me and Ty. "I know Ethan sounds brilliant on his own but when you guys both sing just, holy shit." We chuckled and put away the speakers.
"Well thanks." Me and Ty said at the same time before looking at each other and bursting into laughter. After receiving some confused looks, we calmed down and checked the time. 12:32. "Better get some sleep." I announced and headed to my room upstairs. Yes, upstairs. I told you this cabin wasn't really like a cabin. Ty followed and turned to the right to his, screaming a quite loud, "GOODNIGHT!"
I entered my room to the left and sat on my bed sighing. It feels great, getting lost in the music while singing and being around friends but as soon as I'm alone I feel the sadness crawl back. I'm pretty sure Ty could feel it as well with our weird 'twin link' thing. Yes, those exist. Sheesh, quit being so questioning. Who the hell am I talking to? I walked to the bathroom connected to my room and looked in the mirror. I had dyed my ash colored hair a nice black and my red eyes were covered by blue contacts so people wouldn't question them. I mean, ash, almost silver colored hair and red eyes that are both natural? Yeah, no.
Ty had natural reddish-brown hair but red eyes as well so he covers them with blue contacts as well. We were almost identical in features, the same hairstyle only mine covered my right and his the left. We had the same soft featured face, feminine figure and mostly blank face. People who don't know us usually look at us and think were serious and grumpy people judging from our normal face but were quite the opposite, Ty more so than me. I'm a little more reserved than him, keeping to the side and being quiet.
I took my contacts out and rubbed my eyes before retreating to my room. Along with those things I have to try and hide a few things including me being bi, my ever growing crush on Xayne, and the old scars on my wrists that are hidden mostly by my long black fingerless gloves. Those were from past relationship fails before I started singing. Luckily no one knew, except for Ty who sat with me while I would cry in his arms. I may be more mature and responsible but Ty was the one who would be strong through hard things and be there to comfort me.
I undid the strings on my gloves and slid them off, seeing pale little lines running across my wrist. I looked away and continued stripping myself of my clothes then putting my pajamas on and slipping into my bed. I yawned and closed my eyes. 'I gotta think of some songs for next show.' Was my last thought before I fell asleep.
