Behind Closed Doors ( Chris Motionless)

Chapter 23: Gotta tell him

I gasp for air as the ice cold water hits my face. I was surrounded by the guys in the bathroom, Balz was holding a bucket.

"Liz, you okay?" Ryan asks.

I catch my breath and nodded.

"You were breathing really fast, it was scaring us, we tried to wake you up but you wouldn't wake up and you were crying," Chris added, sounding concerned.

Ricky helps me up and puts a towel around me.

"It was just a nightmare, it's been a while sense I got those," I replied.

"You must have a lot on your mind," Ricky says as he lights a cigarette. We stare at each other for a second, then Devin told me that they got breakfast from waffle house, we went to the front of the bus and began eating. I looked at my phone, it was 8:15. Chris was the first to finish, he immediately started the bus and drove off as the rest of us ate.

"So, Liz, you can draw and play guitar, what else can you do?" Ryan asks trying to keep his crutches from falling and eat at the same time.

"um, well I used to sing to my mother, so I guess you can say I kinda have a good voice,"

"let's hear a tune!" Balz says.

I immediately blush.

"No, I've never sang around anyone else except my mother,"

"have you ever wanted to be in a band?" Devin asks. "like your own band, lead vocalist and guitarist?" he added.

"of course, it's my dream! But it's hard for me to come out of my comfort zone, I can't do it," I responded.

"Pussy," Ryan teases. I nudge him and pushes his crutches down. We all laughed.

"Let's hear a little something," Ricky says as he grins, giving me his acoustic guitar. I sigh and look around. They were all sitting around me, waiting. Chris yelled from the driver's seat, "YOU CAN FUCKING DO.IT!!" We all chuckled. I exhaled to calm my nerves and begin strumming a song I wrote yesterday before we got on stage called Heart.

Never wanted to feel

Never wanted you to steal my heart

Never wanted you to know 

Never wanted to show I'm weak

I'm falling all over myself

Trying to be someone else

I wish you would dare to walk me home

So I wouldn't have to feel alone....

As I sang I glanced at Ricky, he smiled faintly, looking down at his feet.

Never Told you before

never loved you more

I'm falling all over myself

Trying to be someone else

I wish you would dare to walk me home

So I wouldn't have to feel alone

I'm falling all over myself

Dying to be someone else

I wish you would dare to walk me home

I don't wanna fight this world alone

I don't wanna fight this world alone

I don't wanna fight this world alone
