Chapter 6:
“Love is that condition in which the happiness of another person is essential to your own.”
I smiled politely at him and nodded. What is it?
He kind of started to blush and he smiled a childish smile. Well I was wondering if we could start over? I wanna be friends. Is that okay?
I looked at him. I would really like that "Daddy" (Giggle)
He giggled along and smiled. I'm really sorry for getting you fired.
It's okay. I was getting kind of tired of that job anyway. Thank YOU for making this possible. Is there anything I can do to repay you?
(In Tom's mind)
What should I ask her? She's offering me anything I want. I wanted her more than anything else in the world. I wanted to sleep with her but if I did that now she would think I promoted her band just to get in her pants. Hmm, Should I ask her out on a date? Maybe go have dinner and walk on the beach? Wait a second...All that stuff is romantic. What type of sorcery is this? I've never even thought of being romantic, What the hell? Well I gotta think fast she's waiting on an answer.
Just then Caroline walked in.
Caroline: Genesis, It's show time. (looks at Tom) Oh was I interrupting something?
Genesis: Not really. (smile) I'm coming. (Looks at Tom) Well, Just think about it okay? I'll see you later.
Tom: Okay. (Smile) I'll be watching. (wink)
Genesis heart began to race. O-o-okay. heh. heh. Umm...Bye now.
Caroline led her to the stage. (Whisper) Good Luck. Give it your all girls.
The lights were down but you could clearly see the cellphones and cameras shining in the darkness.
Jewels: Give us the signal Dreamer.
Genesis: Now. Broken Glass.
Dakota and Darey started and then Jewels with the riff. The audience sounded pretty excited. The lights went up and Genesis looked at the crowd. There was a lot of people, She started to get nervous. She looked around and then smiled. Dakota hit the drums a certain way and that was the signal for Genesis to start singing.
Every time I try to talk to you,
Its like playing with broken glass.
I try to pick up the pieces,
But I'm afraid I'm gonna get slashed.
The girls in the crowd began to scream. Genesis got more excited and smiled at Jewels. She kept on singing.
There's nothing left for me to find.
There's nothing for me here.
I used to want to smile,
But the reasons to have disappeared.
I get a reason to smile,
You gimme a reason to cry.
I get a reason to live,
You gimme a reason to die.
But it's all the same to me,
Because I know the monster is there,
Inside.
When I look into the mirror,
I don't like what I see.
I see the face of a sinner,
Staring blankly at me.
