Misunfortunate

8 - Suspicion

Johnny's POV

We were in the forest cause you know that's a teenagerish thing to do.

I guess you could say it's kinda weird 13 people always going out together but hey, you could also say it makes us safer and there's less money to share out cause there's so many who need to pitch in. Wait, but more people means more stuff which then means more money anyway, dammit I thought I was onto something. Anyway it looks like we're very sociable.

We were just chatting and heard some strumming progressively getting louder as we walked towards it.

We arrived to the sound and hid in the bushes. Oh my god, what luck. It was Nick. (Ha, literally wouldn't happen in real life, great thing fanfiction's here amiright)

He was outside a little treehouse shed thing on a log, playing a guitar. I could tell the song he was doing was supposed to be a kinda rocky song but he was doing a strip back acoustic kinda thing.

It looked like he was writing things down like chords and lyrics.

"Yo, he wrote that himself?" Oli realized.

We heard strumming and looked back.

"Cause I'm a fate worse than death" Nick smiled as he said it out loud, wrote it down and started playing the whole thing.

"You've got me shaking from the way you're talking,
My heart is breaking but there's no use crying,
What a cyanide surprise you have left for my eyes,
If I had common sense I'd cut myself or curl up and die.

Sticks and stones could break my bones,
But anything you say would only fuel my lungs,

Don't mind us we're just spilling our guts,
If this is love I don't want to be loved,
You pollute the room with your filthy tongue,
Watch me choke it down so I can throw it up,
Don't mind us we're just spilling our guts,
If this is Love I don't wanna be hanging by the neck,
Before and audience of death.

If you could be the corpse and I could be the killer,
I could be the devil, you could be the sinner,
You could be the drugs and I could be the dealer,
Everything you say is like music to my ears," the song continues as we watched, that sounded really creepy but hey the song was good.

*Next Day*

I was walking with Awsten, Vic and Kevin and we went to the bathroom and saw Nick washing his hands.

Vic looked at me and smiled, I didn't know what he fuck he was thinking not gonna lie.

"Hey, Johnny, what a cyanide surprise you have left here" he smirked.

"I mean, if I had common sense I would just cut myself, or curl up and die" I smiled back, Nick stopped what he was doing.

"Oh don't mind us guys, we're just spilling our guts" Awsten turned around, catching on.

"Ugh, you guys pollute the room with your filthy tongues" Kevin spoke, also smiling. Nick turned around to face us.

"Where did you guys hear that?" He questioned quietly.

"Oh, it was just a song we heard when we were in the forest with the rest of the guys yesterday" Vic answered.

"Fuck"

"Wait what happened to you?" I asked noticing his face more beat up than usual.

"Nothing" he quietly stated and walked out, away from us, again.
