We Don't Have To Dance

Chapter Four

Lyric only got to play three more shows until eventually Jaime knew all our songs and was able to come play with us. So now we're all at the airport, it's twelve, and we finished out set not too long ago.

"Thank you guys" tears brim her eyes, and she looks down shamefully "I'm going to get better, and I'm sorry for being so difficult"

We went back to the hotel and shook off the loneliest we were feeling, and only then I brought up to Shane, "After her, your going to rehab too"

"What?" He furrows his eyebrows "I don't act cra-"

"Your an important part of the band and we don't want to lose you" Grim exclaims "Which is why on the Mexico tour, Amanda will play Rythm, and song, and I'll play lead"

"I" He starts, then sighs "Let's just see what happens till after tour"

And so begins a new chapter in our little story, one by one I was replacing our band members with other famous bands musicians. It really helped other people come into our shows, because we made this thing where you can buy different meet and greet passes for certain bands, or you could buy a delux package where you could meet all. It got to a point where so many people just wanted to see our band because of Jaime, Cc, and I, and even though I felt bad for Shane and Grim, the money compensated to them.

"Tonight we're playing in Ben's hometown" I smile

"Yeah" Andy nods, we're all in my green room chilling; even New Years Day who I have become resent friends with; all except ash who is desperately trying to be friends with me

"Trynna throw an unexpected party at his house?" Cc suggests and everyone cheers

"Guys" I laugh "They have Kids"

Everyone huffs, but me, Andy, and Cc are going still.

"Twenty minutes" a manager comes past our door

"That's our cue" I smile, standing up, then everyone performing goes to set up

"I'm hyped" Jaime bounces up and down

"I'm getting anxiety" I admit

"Why?" He furrows his eyebrows

"She's been having panic attacks again lately" Grim exclaims, so I let out a sigh

"It'll pass eventually..."

We set everything up then Jaime and Cc; the two most funny, cheerful, compassionate guys hug me. I feel happy now, like they've passed they're energy to me, and now I'm good to go.

"WHATS UP MOTHER FUCKERS!?" Shane screams, and I smile immediately, feeling better

This show is gonna be a good one

"COME ON! Sing with me!" Shane screams, and though I think he's talking to the audience, he comes over to me and pulls me to the mic to rap, Alright I'm finna scream lets get this this.

"INDICATION!" I growl into the mic, then full blown scream, tapping at my chest and squeezing the absolute shit out of my diagram "worthlessness! Selfishness, SUICIDAL!" Everyone is going crazy because no one knew I can actually scream. I actually have been able to for a while, but I've been practicing through the last few months "plagiarized! Terrorized! UnorigiNAL! Now in this" I take a huge breath, because I'm about to sing in a minute, and I can't take a breath in between, besides that I'm just out of breath? "New generation" another breath "It's been- done a million TIME! DO I HAVE TO TELL YOU?" I sing so loud and strong "I, cannot take you back this time, even though I love you and I, am so so sorry I, wasn't there for you I know..."

I step back, shredding the shit out of the guitar as Shane jumps back in. The crowd rawrw a little less, but after the show, everyone side stage swarms me.
