Save me from myself

He Is We

Cassia's POV
I don't get too drunk with the girls as I want to get back to school at lunch for period 4, music. Music was the only subject I liked, me and Ella loved it, our project at the moment was to perform a song to the class we could do it in pairs (but then you had to do two songs), or by yourself. Of course, me and Ella are working together. We decided we would each pick a song and tthen sing one each with the other playing piano of guitar. My song was 'Kiss It Better' by 'He Is We', this song has a lot of meaning to me, the lyrics really mean a lot, they just seem to understand me and what I've been through. It understands the one biggest lie I have ever told.

Ella and I sprint into the school just as the end of lunch bell rings. Out of breath, we hurriedly make our way to music. We walk through the door and smile at Mr. Carter. Mr Carter is probably the only teacher in the whole school that likes us. We take our seats and smile excitedly at each other. Today is the day we will be performing. "Okay class! Quiet down! Who wants to perform there song or songs first?" Mr Carter asks. Mine and Ella's hands shot straight up into the air, as did many others, Mr Carter scanned the room before his eyes landed on us. "Ella and Cassia, would you like to go first?" he asks us politely, we nod eagerly and jump out of out seats to the stage. We decided we would sing Ella's song first. She is singing 'Prove You Wrong' by 'He Is We', another one of my favourite songs, and I am playing piano.

"You're the boy, with a real nice smile but a broken heart inside, give it to a girl, give it to a girl I think she lost her mind"
I smiled, Ella's voice was so amazing!
"Are you through with all this? Are you tired of the pain? Are you, torn to pieces...?"
My smile drops, 'yes', I think to myself. I tune out for the rest of the song, concentrating on the notes I was playing. I smiled up at Ella as I played the last note. She turned around and grinned back at me. I get up from the piano and we walk over to each other, swapping places. On the way past she whispers, "stay strong..." in my ear and that's almost enough to break me down into tears, she doesn't know the half of it... I take hold of the microphone and announce that I'll be singing 'Kiss It Better' by 'He Is We'. I just hope I don't start crying.

"He sits in his cell , and he lays on his bed, covers his head, and closes his eyes...
He sees a smoking gun, and the coward he ran, and in his arms the bleeding love of his life, she cries kiss it all better, I'm not ready to go, it's not your fault love, you didn't know...
You didn't know... "

I close my eyes and hold the tears back.

"Her hands are so cold, and he kisses her face, he says 'everything will be alright',
He noticed the gun and his rage grew in side, he said I will avenge my lover tonight...
she cries kiss it all better, I'm not ready to go, it's not your fault love, you didn't know...
You didn't know... "

This song was so emotional for me, I opened my eyes and looked around. Every one looked captivated by my performance, this was the one class that I got along with every one, we were like one big family.

"Now he sits behind prison bars, 25 to life and she's not in his arms, he couldn't bring her back with a bullet to the heart in the back of a man who tore his world apart, oh oh

He cried stay with me till I fall asleep, stay with me please stay with me till I fall asleep, stay with me, stay with me until I fall asleep, stay with me, stay with me until I fall asleep, stay with me
kiss it all better, I'm not ready to go, it's not your fault love, you didn't know...
You didn't know...
stay with me till I fall asleep, stay with me please stay with me till I fall asleep, stay with me, stay with me until I fall asleep, stay with me, stay with me until I fall asleep, stay with me"

"Thank you," I say, my voices breaking, I got a few sympathetic smiles from people but mostly 'well dones'

"Well done girls, A+ for both of you, that was fantastic!" Mr Carter tells us enthusiastically, seemingly unaware of our depressed moods. 'Prove You Wrong' meant a lot to Ella, like 'Kiss It Better' meant a lot to me.

We sit in silence for the rest of the period, only half listening to the other performances, most of them were really good. When the bell rang we picked up our stuff and went our separate ways. I went to AP English and Ella went back to Jas. You see, I may skip quite a lot of school (not as much as Ella and Jas though), but I was still really smart, I made up for it at home as well. I opened the door to my English class and looked up at the board. My heart dropped as I saw that we were to sit in a new seating plan. I was happy where I was! I got to sit alone! I search for my name and find it next to a name I know all too well. Cindy Blackshore. (Also known as Cindy Blackwhore). Great. I get to sit next the the slut of all sluts. I slowly walk to my seat, my feet dragging, dreading the moment she walked through the door. I don't even know how she got into this class! Though it might have something to do with the fact that her 'Daddy dearest' (note the sarcasm), was deputy head teacher. The late bell rang and there was no sign of Cindy or the teacher. Cindy was probably off fucking some guy but I had no idea where the teacher was. The one benefit of this seat was the fact that it was right next to the window, I gazed out at the forest just beyond the fence of the field, wishing I could be there instead of here. I find it strange that I like going there, I mean why would you want to visit the place your mother died and your father killed someone?

Ky's POV
"I don't get it!" I groaned as my tutor sighed once again.
"Ok, we'll stop for today, I don't think I can deal with another set of you trying to answer math problems" he said, emphasising the 'trying' part of it. I laugh and reply with, "that makes two of us." He laughs as well before starting to pack up his stuff. "Thank you," I say before getting up and wandering into the kitchen, hearing a distracted 'you're welcome' behind me. I grab a coke and then go into the living room, that's right bitches, I'm home schooled. I absentmindedly watch TV for a while but my mind soon wanders to the conversation I had with Jessica the other day....

"Ky? Is that really you?"
"Yes"
"Wow, long time no see!"
"You could say that."
"Why so cold?"
"I thought you were dead Jess, I thought you'd finally done it, finally killed yourself, you made it so convincing you know! Adding the note at the end, making it just that bit more personal! They always used to say you would break my heart... I guess I should've listened!"
"I- I'm so-"
"I don't want to hear it Jessica, it means nothing to me."

I sighed and took a sip of my coke, I hope I don't see her again, I'd only just picked up the pieces if my broken heart and seeing her yesterday almost made me break again. Once again my mind wanders, but this time I think about Cassia, we still hadn't spoken since the fight but I missed her. Sighing, I grabbed my phone and sent her a text-

Ky: I'm sorry, I was wrong, forgive me? <3

I pressed send and put down my phone, waiting for a reply. I didn't get one.
