Chapter 1:
Catherine’s POV
“Never ever thought I’d see it break
Never thought I’d see it”
“Wow,” say Emma, my best friend and roommate. “You get more amazing every time!”
“Thanks Em!”
“Ready to upload?”
“Yup!”
I log into my account and waited for the video to finish loading. I absentmindedly scroll down my other covers to see the views. Then I scream.
“EMMA! MY 5 SECONDS OF SUMMER COVER OF DON’T STOP GOT 2,000,000 VIEWS!” I cry.
“Oh my gosh! It’s time to celebrate! I’ll take you out after your performance!” says Emma.
“Oh yeah! I forgot I had a performance.” I mentally slap my head. “What time is it?”
“It is at 9:30 sharp, they need you there a little early for sound check”
I grab my guitar and make my way to the room to pick out an outfit. My closet is overflowing but somehow I manage to find the right outfit: a floral above the knee strapless sundress with strappy wedges and a beanie. Before long, Emma and I are in the car and driving towards the club.
The club is huge, and at first I am nervous but I have to remind myself that this is what I love. My dark wood acoustic sounds great with the acoustics of the club, and Emma said that I was fabulous and I know she would never lie to me. As I position myself in the right spot on stage, Emma gives me thumbs up and disappears in the crowd. I take a deep breath and begin my set.
“This song is for all the girls that have been through a relationship that was toxic and knew it all along,” I say.
“Once upon a time a few mistakes ago
I was in your sights, you got me alone
You found me, you found me, you found me
I guess you didn't care, and I guess I liked that
And when I fell hard you took a step back
Without me, without me, without me
And he's long gone when he's next to me
And I realize the blame is on me
'Cause I knew you were trouble when you walked in
So shame on me now
Flew me to places I'd never been
'Til you put me down, oh
I knew you were trouble when you walked in
So shame on me now
Flew me to places I'd never been
Now I'm lying on the cold hard ground
Oh, oh, trouble, trouble, trouble
Oh, oh, trouble, trouble, trouble
No apologies. He'll never see you cry,
Pretends he doesn't know that he's the reason why.
You're drowning, you're drowning, you're drowning.
Now I heard you moved on from whispers on the street
A new notch in your belt is all I'll ever be
And now I see, now I see, now I see
He was long gone when he met me
And I realize the joke is on me, yeah!
I knew you were trouble when you walked in
So shame on me now
Flew me to places I'd never been
'Til you put me down, oh
I knew you were trouble when you walked in
So shame on me now
Flew me to places I'd never been
Now I'm lying on the cold hard ground
Oh, oh, trouble, trouble, trouble
Oh, oh, trouble, trouble, trouble
And the saddest fear comes creeping in
That you never loved me or her, or anyone, or anything, yeah
I knew you were trouble when you walked in
So shame on me now
Flew me to places I'd never been
'Til you put me down, oh
I knew you were trouble when you walked in (you were right there, you were right there)
So shame on me now
Flew me to places I'd never been
Now I'm lying on the cold hard ground
Oh, oh, trouble, trouble, trouble
Oh, oh, trouble, trouble, trouble
I knew you were trouble when you walked in
Trouble, trouble, trouble
I knew you were trouble when you walked in
Trouble, trouble, trouble”
As I finish the last note, the crowd goes wild! I wait until the cheering ends to start my next song.
“This next song is a cover of my favorite band 5 Seconds of Summer. This is their song ‘She Looks so Perfect’, but I will do an acoustic version.”
I start the song and my eyes wander into the eyes of …..
Emma! She looks really excited for some reason, which I am guessing I will soon find out why.
