Early morning, Marie stood on the auditorium stage. Taking a deep breath, she opened her mouth and began singing. The music followed her as she progressed in the lyrics of Aerosmith's 'Cryin.'

There was a time
When I was so broken hearted
Love wasn't much of a friend of mine
The tables have turned, yeah
Cause me and them ways have parted
That kind of love was the killin' kind
Now listen
All I want is someone I can't resist
I know all I need to know by the way that I got kissed

I was cryin' when I met you
Now I'm trying to forget you
Love is sweet misery
I was cryin' just to get you
Now I'm dying cause I let you
Do what you do - down on me

Now there's not even breathing room
Between pleasure and pain
Yeah, you cry when we're making love
Must be one and the same

It's down on me
Yeah I got to tell you one thing
It's been on my mind
Girl, I gotta say
We're partners in crime
You got that certain something
What you give to me
Takes my breath away
Now the word out on the street
Is the devil's in your kiss
If our love goes up in flames
It's a fire I can't resist

Marie looked up. "Aaron?"

"You can't get rid of me Marie." Aaron smirked as he approached her. "Where's your boyfriend?"

"You're quite cruel to tease me like that Aaron." Marie packed up her sheet music. "Figured you would have heard all about how much of a dick Billie Joe turned out to be. Well of course you did, or else you wouldn't have asked about him. Cause you're just that fucking mean aren't you?"

"Touchè."

"Now get the fuck out of my way Aaron! I gotta get to class."

Aaron looked her up and down. "Whatever you say baby."

Marie growled. "Just suck a big fat one will ya! It'll keep your mouth quiet!"

"I'm not a faggot Marie!"

"Never said you were. You got defensive." Before Aaron could get any sort of revenge, Marie rushed out of the auditorium.

"Damn that was badass Marie." Trixie said, smiling.

"Of course you were listening at the door." Marie rolled her eyes, chewing on her unlit cigerette.

No matter what I do, I just think of Billie Joe! Fuck!

"You know I'm just worried about you. I heard the song you were singing. Are you sure you're okay?"

"Yes I'm fine!"

"You don't sing like that if you're fine."

"Oh Mr...." Marie cringed of emabrssement when she couldn't say her professors last name. The man sighed, however knowing her issue.

With a small laugh, he broke the akward silence. "Don't worry punker I know who you're asking for."

"Heh well good. I started writing a song, I was wondering if you would look at it."
Come home to me.

But Nobody will hear my call

Nobody is here exepct me.

Since I can't have you

Nobody can

"Is this about a boy?" The professor asked, smirking a little.

Marie nodded, ashamed, attempting to brush off her feelings of emabrssement.

"Great start. He musta broken your heart pretty bad though."

"Yeah. Yeah he did."
