Life Starts Now

~5~

(Hannah in the slide above)

    I wake up and see that I'm in my bunk. I get up and walk to the living room area on the bus. I see dad is up so I walk over to him. He smiles as I sit next to him and curl up in his side. He holds me tight.

    "Morning dad."

    "Morning Camden."

    "So what are we doing today?"

    "Just chillin you know."

    I nod and turn on the tv. Dad shakes his head and turns it back off. I look at him like he just shot me.

    "Wwwhhhyyy???"

    "Because I want to know you better."

    I nod,

    "So what's the first thing you want to know?"

    "Favorite color or colors?"

    "Red and black."

    "Bands?"

    "SIO, FOB, PTV, SWS, BVB, FIR, MCR, ATL, BMTH, AA, 3DG, Green Day, Nirvana, Smashing Pumpkins, Blink-182, Attila, Jule Vera, MGK, Hundredth, P!ATD, Disturbed, MDD, Saint Asonia, New Politics, and Muse. There are a whole bunch more but I bet you don't want to hear all of that."

    "Wow you like a lot."

    "Yeah."

    "Birthday?"

    "September 22. Tomorrow."

    Dad goes wide eyed.

    "What tomorrow?"

    "Yeah but you don't have to get me anything I never celebrate it."

    "Oh no we are celebrating it this year."

    I look at him and smile.

    "Mom always said I didn't deserve a birthday so we didn't through a party or anything."

    Dad looks at me, 

    "That's crazy."

    "Yeah but off the topic."

    Dad nods and relaxes again. I get up and go get my lyric book and come back out. I start to work on the song I have been working on. I call it Fallen Angel (I know it's not my song plus it's three days grace's song but deal). Dad looks at it and smiles.

    "That's really good."

    I smile and hand him the book, he tells me to grab a guitar and plug it up. He grabs his little drums as Matt comes over I smile as I start to sing, (Song is in the slide)

Late at night I could hear the crying
I hear it all, trying to fall asleep
When all the love around you is dying

How do you stay so strong?
How did you hide it all for so long?
How can I take the pain away?
How can I save

A fallen angel, in the dark
Never thought you'd fall so far
Fallen angel, close your eyes
I won't let you fall tonight
Fallen angel

You do it all for my own protection
You make me feel like I'll be okay
Still I have so many questions

How do you stay so strong?
How did you hide it all for so long?
How can I take the pain away?
How can I save,

A fallen angel, in the dark
Never thought you'd fall so far
Fallen angel, close your eyes
I won't let you fall tonight
Fallen angel, just let go
You don't have to be alone
Fallen angel, close your eyes
I won't let you fall tonight

I was right beside you
When you went to hell and back again
I was right beside you
When you went to hell and back again
And I, I couldn't save, a fallen angel

A fallen angel, in the dark
Never thought you'd fall so far
Fallen angel, close your eyes
I won't let you fall tonight
Fallen angel, just let go
You don't have to be alone
Fallen angel, close your eyes
I won't let you fall tonight
Fallen angel

    I smile as we finish the guys wake up and they clap. Matt hugs me tight whispering in my ear,

    "Camden that was amazing."

    I smile just then  Sammy walks in and asks, 

    "What was all that noise I'm trying to sleep."

    "Um that was music bitch. Maybe you should get some headphones so you don't have to listen."

    "What did you just call me?"

    "You heard me."

    She growls and pounces. I grab her wrist but she uses her other hand and scratches my face. I scream and punch her in the gut. She smirks and punches me in the gut then knees my head. I crumble to the ground. Dad runs at her but stops when he sees me.

    "Cam no."

    He runs and picks me up. I smile up at him. I try to say something but I pass out due to my head injury. Dad screams as he rushes me to the car, Matt right behind. Hannah went after Sammy as Barry started to talk to Brad. We get to the hospital and the doctors rush to get me. Dad bursts out crying. 

    "Why is it always her?"

    Matt hugs him,

    "I don't know dude I don't know."

    They wait for me and Hannah comes and sits with my dad. She holds him up so he doesn't crash down. Matt was just crying silently worrying about me and what's gonna happen.
