Innocence

Chapter 21

*not quite edited yet.
As my amazing sad song starts blaring out of my speaker, I allow the tears to cascade down my face. It's been a few hours since I cried, might as well let them out.

My cramp pains have officially quit hurting. My lungs feel a little better. But that doesn't sound out the sound that's coming from my door.

No matter how loud my sad music is, I always hear the knocking.

The begging. The pleading.

He won't stop knocking on my door.

When I heard another round of knocking I paused my music.

"What do you want River?!" I yelled at him.

"Do you wanna build a snowman?" He sang in the crack at the bottom of the door in a sad voice.

"It doesn't have to be a snowman.."He sang some more.

"Go away River." I deadpanned.

"Okay...bye." River sang again with a lot of emotion.

There was a big silent pause.

"You're not going to leave are you?" I asked.

"Nope." River said happily.

I sighed and got up off the ground.

"Okay River. Come on in." I said when I unlocked my door and let him in.

But when I let him in, the other boys came out from behind the wall and rushed in before I could close my door.

"Wait, what are you-oh never mind. I don't care." I said tiredly as I walk to my bed and sit down.

I look up and see Logan sitting down on a stool in the bedroom.

He then starts playing the guitar he had in his hand. The rest of the boys went into the walk in closet that was behind Logan.

"You gotta go and get angry at all of my honesty...
You know I try but I don't do too well with apologies...
I hope I don't run out of time, could someone call a referee?
'Cause I just need one more shot at forgiveness." Logan sang with a beautiful voice. My jaw dropped and he just smiled when he saw my face.

Suddenly River rushes out of the walk in closet while pushing Jax in front of him and stares at Jax.

Jax shakes his head with a mean look on his face.

River looks at Jax and then me, and then Jax again.

"Come on Jax" River pleads.

"I'm not fucking singing this stupid fucking song." Jax replies with a grumpy look on his face.

"I know you know that I made those mistakes maybe once or twice..
By once or twice I mean maybe a couple of hundred times.." River sang in place for Jax since he still was looking grumpy.
"So let me, oh let me redeem, oh redeem, oh myself tonight..
'Cause I just need one more shot at second chances" His voice was okay, but not nearly as good as Logan's.

Logan then sang the chorus

"Yeah, is it too late now to say sorry?
'Cause I'm missing more than just your body.." Logan sang with a smirk. When he sang the second line, Jax gave him a hard glare. River looked expectantly at Jax with hope in his eyes.

There's no way he will get him to sing.

Jack stares at River and then glances at me. I assume he sees the interest and hope in my eyes because he grumpily opens his mouth and sings the lyrics with a monotone voice.

"Oh, is it too late now to say sorry?
Yeah, I know that I let you down
Is it too late to say I'm sorry now?"
