I walked out to the front yard with Maddy, Tanner and my best friend Aaron. we are having a big party because of my brothers band and my band get signed to the same Hopeless Records studio.  It's just our family's, band members, and Friends from school, at our my house. My dad wanted to thou a big party for us.

"come on C" Maddy says. "it'll be fun" she grabbed my arm as we walked down to the road to Aaron motorcycle. Aaron is like my brother we are really close. 

"i've told y'all before i don't like motorcycles" i say looking at it. " i don't trust them"

"you gotta lose up a bit" Maddy smiles 

"but you trust me right love" Aaron looked at me. getting on his bike. "please ill be careful"he gave me a puppy look. that always get me everytime..

"okay" i smiled walking closer to the bike. "out of everyone in this world you are one of the ones that i trust the most"

"Alright cierra" he hugged me "i love you and you know i would never do anything to hurt you"

"yes i know" i say, he handed me his helmet. 

"safety come first" he says as he helped me put it on. once i put it on. i get on behind him. and warped my arms around him. "already you're ready" he asked. 

"yeah" i say with a shaking breath. my hands started shaking and my anxiety kind of get the best of me. 

"if it helps i'll play some music in the helmet so that it calms you down" he says "will that helps and ill go slow" he asked 

"that would help me alot" i say  wrapping my arms around his tighter. he stopped to put on some music. it put on some three days grace i am machine.  my favorite song of all.

i looked over at everyone, who was on the carve. it was Maddy(band member: base), Tanner (band member: lead guitar) Dustin, Keith, and Cody (close friend from school) and Aj (Aaron brother and another close friend)

As Aaron Started up the motorcycle, the sing started playing in my helment. i started singing along to calm my nerves.

 [Verse 1]

Here's to being human,
All the pain and suffering.
There's beauty in the bleeding,
At least you feel something.

[Pre-Chorus]
I wish I knew what it was like,
To care enough to carry on.
I wish I knew what it was like,
To find a place where I belong, but...

[Chorus]
I am machine, I never sleep,
I keep my eyes wide open!
I am machine, a part of me
Wishes I could just feel something!
I am machine, I never sleep,
Until I fix what's broken!
I am machine, a part of me
Wishes I could just feel something!

[Verse 2]
Here's to being human,
Taking it for granted.
The highs and lows of living,
To getting second chances.

[Pre-Chorus]
I wish I knew what it was like,
To care about what's right or wrong.
I wish someone could help me find,
Find a place where I belong, but...

[Chorus]
I am machine, I never sleep,
I keep my eyes wide open!
I am machine, a part of me
Wishes I could just feel something!
I am machine, I never sleep,
Until I fix what's broken!
I am machine, a part of me
Wishes I could just feel something!

[Bridge]
It wasn't supposed to be this way,
We were meant to feel the pain.
I don't like what I am becoming,
Wish I could just feel something.

[Outro]
I am machine, I never sleep,
I keep my eyes wide open!
I am machine, a part of me
Wishes I could just feel something!
I am machine, I never sleep,
Until I fix what's broken!
I am machine, a part of me
Wishes I could just feel something!. 

"i have it on shuffle" i hear him yell. i yell back with an 'okay' i hold on to him tight and tried calming down as he started down the street. i am machine ended and skillet not gonna die. started playing. the music help calm me down. "can i go alittle fast" he asked.

"yes but please be careful" i yell. 

"alright i will" he says. i closed my eyes and let to music play in my ears and take me to another place like it always does... i start solfy singing not gonna die 

[Verse 1]
Death surrounds,
My heartbeat's slowing down.
I won't take this world's abuse,
I won't give up, I refuse!
This is how it feels when you're bent and broken,
This is how it feels when your dignity's stolen.
When everything you love is leaving,
You hold on to what you believe in!

[Pre-Chorus]
The last thing I heard was you whispering goodbye,
And then I heard you flatline.

[Chorus]
No, not gonna die tonight!
We've gotta stand and fight forever.
(Don't close your eyes)
No, not gonna die tonight!
We've gotta fight for us together,
No, we're not gonna die tonight!

[Verse 2]
Break their hold,
Because I won't be controlled.
The can't keep their chains on me,
When the truth has set me free!
This is how it feels when you take your life back,
This is how it feels when you finally fight back.
When life pushes me I push harder,
What doesn't kill me makes me stronger!

[Pre-Chorus]
The last thing I heard was you whispering goodbye,
And then I heard you flatline.

[Chorus]
No, not gonna die tonight!
We've gotta stand and fight forever.
(Don't close your eyes)
No, not gonna die tonight!
We've gotta fight for us together,
No, we're not gonna die tonight!


[Hook]
Don't you give up on me,
You're everything I need.
This is how it feels when you take your life back,
This is how it feels when you fight back!

No, not gonna die tonight!
We've gotta stand and fight forever.
(Don't close your eyes)
No, not gonna die tonight!
We've gotta fight for us together,
No, we're not gonna die tonight!


[Outro]
No, we're not gonna die tonight!
Not gonna die (not gonna die),
Not gonna die (not gonna die),
Not gonna die tonight!

"hey Cierra hold on" Aaron says. i tightened my arms around him and closed my eyes as we started going faster. then i felt the bike turn over and tires squeal, then everything went black and red.
