Lyric Storm

Chapter 36. Without You

Lyric's POV

"Oh god." Lydia mumbles, I walk quickly into the living room. "No Lyric!" Lydia screams grabbing my arm.

We had just walked in on Lyle and Winter kissing, I'm not talking like a peck on the lips or cheek nooo I mean like they were fucking swapping saliva, two tongues shaking hands.

"My fucking sister?!" I scream and punch Lyle in the mouth.

"Stop it!" Winter screams pulling me back.

Lyle falls over the coffee table onto the floor.

"Lyric don't!" Winter yells pushing me back as Lydia is pulling me back.

"Lyric stop I was gonna tell you man." Lyle says gently.

"Tell me that you are fucking around with my sister?!" I shout. 

I look down at Winter. "Are you out of your damn mind?" I ask her. "Damn it Lyle you can have any girl you want, I never said shit about you breaking girls hearts all the fucking time! BUT MY SISTER?!" I scream. "Did you honestly think I'd be okay with that?" I ask him looking at him as if he's an idiot.

"Man it's not like that, I care about Winter." Lyle insists. 

"Right Lyle just like you cared for Kat, Tory, Karmen, and Jasmine?" I ask him. "Or how about the other 100 and some women you fucked?!" My head snaps back to my sister. "You can't trust him." I growl. "He lies to women all the time to get them to fuck him." 

"Come on Lyric that is bullshit and you know it!" Lyle shouts.

"Like fuck it is dude, you told Tory that you were falling in love with her when you knew you weren't that girl was so fucking heart broken over you I heard she didn't date anyone for over a fucking year!" I yell.

"That was high school!" Lyle yells.

"I trust him." Winter says shoving me backward's. 

"Really then how long have you been hiding it from me huh? You're lying to yourself." I growl.

"Stop Lyric." Lydia pleads. "It's their business not ours." She says pushing me back, I see the guilt in her eyes and my jaw drops.

"Oh fuck you knew too?" I whisper.

"Lyric..." She starts.

"Not for that long." Winter insists.

"You've all been fucking lying to me?!" I ask angrily shaking my head back and forth backing away from Lydia.

"Lyric." Lydia pleads taking a step towards me pressing her hands to my chest.

"No!" I yell at her. "Don't even fucking touch me." I hiss with so much venom in my voice that her hands drop like I'd electrocuted her and she quickly steps away as tears pool into her eyes.

"You and me." I say looking up at Lyle. "We're done, don't ever come anywhere fucking near me again." I say to him. "You can all get the fuck out of my house." I whisper in a hoarse voice. I spin around and head for the foyer going up the stairs.

*****************

One Week Later.

I'd managed to get back on the road just without Lyle they were forced to change the band name so they changed it from Lyric N' Legend to just Lyric Storm. My manager was pissed, but said we could replace Lyle so we found a new musician to sit in for him.

I always did the main vocals, though he did a large amount of back up singing but that is easily replaced.

Sometimes it get's really fucking lonely and most of the time I've got far to much time to think. The more I think about how I was lied to betrayed by all three of them it angers me worse.

If Lyle had just been a man about it, told me from the start that he wanted to see my sister that he really felt something for him I probably wouldn't of been nearly as angry.

Knowing that Lydia lied for them, what does that say about our relationship? She lied to me I can't trust her, why the hell would she do this to me? Part of me argues that maybe she thought it wasn't her place to say anything but damn it she should have told me!

My phone dings it's Lydia.

Lydia: Please talk to me Lyric, I miss you. I'm so sorry I didn't tell you.

Me: You're sorry you got caught lying to me, I've got nothing to say to you leave me the hell alone. 

I sit up grabbing my guitar and begin to play a song I'd been working on earlier that night.

🎶I just wanna be alone tonight
I just wanna take a little breather
Cause lately all we do is fight
And every time it cuts me deeperCause something's changed
You've been acting so strange
And its taking its toll on me
Its safe to say that I'm ready to let you leaveWithout you, I live it up a little more everyday
Without you, I'm seeing myself so differently
I didn't wanna believe it then
But it all worked out in the end
When I watched you walk away
Well I never thought id say
I'm fine
Without you🎶

Every part of me feels like what I'm writing isn't even true. I'm not so sure that I am 'fine' without her. Some part of me feels so lost so dead inside without her but I push that feeling away.

🎶Called you up cause it's been long enough
And you said that you were so much better
We have done a lot of growing up
We were never meant to be togetherCause something changed, you were acting so strange
And it's taken its toll on me
It's safe to say that I'm ready to let you leaveWithout you, I live it up a little more everyday
Without you, I'm seeing myself so differently
I didn't wanna believe it then
But it all worked out in the end
When I watched you walk away
Well I never thought id say
I'm fine
Without youCause something changed, you were acting so strange
And it's taken its toll on me
It's safe to say that I'm ready to let you leave🎶

I want to pick the phone up call her tell her I forgive her, that it isn't a big deal. But it is, I hate being lied too it's a deal breaker for me.

🎶Without you, I live it up a little more everyday
Without you, I'm seeing myself so differently
I didn't wanna believe it then
But it all worked out in the end
When I watched you walk away
Well I never thought id say
I'm fine
Without youWithout you
Without you
Without you
I just wanna be alone tonight,
I just wanna take a little breather.🎶
