Mr Biersack

School Show

Bailey's POV

It was the day of the school show and I was shitting myself. I had sprang days with Andy learning the lyrics and practicing my singing. It was easy to sing in front of him, that's all I daydreamed about but now I have sing in front of the whole school.
"You'll be fine." Andy kept trying to reassure me but it wasn't happening. He was started to knock the walls down, brick by brick. It's going to take a while for them to slowly come down.

I have been acting nasty towards Kyle, I know I shouldn't but I can't help myself every time I see him I think it should've been me, not some skank. Jealousy is a horrible emotion.

The show will be the last four periods of the day. The first two will be auditions and the last two will be the finals. But first, I had double English.
Lena has it in her head that if I be all nice and shit to Andy he'll let me win. That's probably what most people are going to be doing. But I'm a not a sook.

Mr Biersack was droning on about alliteration, I went off into a daydream halfway through. I
"Bailey? Are you listening!" Andy snapped.
"What? Yeah." I said looking at him, yawning.
"You bored?" He asked, annoyance lacing his voice.
"Bored? How can I be bored with a voice like yours it's hard to get bored." I said sarcastically. But He and most of the class did not hear the sarcasm in my voice.
"Why thank you Bailey!" He said smiling.
"Oh don't flatter yourself." I mumbled under my breath. My nerves were getting the best of me.

"Oooh!" Mike sang "Bailey has a thing for Mr Biersack." The class burst of laughing.
"Oh shut up!" I growled I saw Andy's face go red, so he clearly couldn't handle a bit of teenage banter... "I don't actually! I like Kylie!"
"A girl!" Mike laughed.
"Really?" Ricky asked.
I rolled my eyes "I was kidding fuck sake!"
"Guys! Can we focus please!" Andy said.
The class slowly quietened down.
"Charlotte! Alex! Would you listen!!" Andy snapped at the couple arguing at the front.
Charlotte growled at Andy. I couldn't help but laugh.

The show came quicker than I thought it would. Parents and friends of the families were coming. Andy told my uncle and he was coming along as well as Kyle.

I was back stage warming up my voice, shitting myself. The judges were only aloud to pick a person each and they go into the finals.
I was the 13th person to go on stage. And when I did, I started having a panic attack. I handed the school band the music. I looked into the crowd and saw Lena sitting next to Kyle she was chatting away happily with him. There was my uncle, CC, Jake, Ash and Jeremy were also there. I spotted my mom's best friend behind them. I've not seen him since her funeral.

I tried to controlled my breathing but it was a struggle, they were sharp and fast.
"So? Bailey what are you gonna do?" Mr Benson said.
My attention snapped to wear the judges were sitting, my whole focus was on Andy, my nerves seemed to disappear.

"Sing." I said.
"Whatcha gonna sing?" Mr Benson asked.
"Em Lost It All, it's not out yet but it was written by a marvellous man." I said, I gave Andy a 'see I was listening' look. He smiled and shook his head at me.
"Okay off ya go." Mr Benson.

I took a deep breath and shut my eyes, when I opened them Andy was the only person in the room. He nodded at me for me sing.
"I ruled the world.
With these hands I shook the heavens to the ground.
I laid the gods to rest.
I held the key to the kingdom.
Lions guarding castle walls.
Hail the king of death.

Then I lost it all
Dead and broken.
My back's against the wall.
Cut me open.
I'm just trying to breathe,
Just trying to figure it out
Because I built these walls to watch them crumbling down.
I said, "Then I lost it all."
And who can save me now?
