Skellingtons in the closet

Chapter 20: Somethings up

Megan's Pov

"Hey, guard, can we get some water over here!?" I yelled. The gaurd rolled his eyes and got two paper cups and filled them with water. Lainey and I nodded at each other with smirks on our faces. The guard finally comes to our cell with our waters and sticks his hands through the bars, and at that, Lainey and I grabbed his arms and pulled him towards us, making him hit his head on the cell bars, out colding him. I kneel down and grab the keys from his holster and unlock our cell, grab his gun and we made a run for it. Six dead police offers later, we were already outside, running as fast as we could. We could smell sweet victory....and revenge for sure.

I hugged Oli and he kissed my cheek. We sat down at our table.

"Beautiful, you look beautiful," he says.

"Thank you,"

"I have a surprise for you,"

He smiles and clicks open something, I couldn't quite see it over the table, but as soon as he raises it over the table, I nearly came to tears. It was a black and red electric guitar. The painting was black with red blood drips and splats, the strings were beautifully white and the neck was shaped into a cross figure. I was in love with it, and I hadn't played guitar in years,  I didn't even play when I was touring with PTV, I took it from Oliver's hands and admired it.

"Oliver, this is so sweet, I love it, I hadn't played in...I don't know how long, this is great, thank you so much, I..."

"I knew you'd like it, I watched a video of you while you and your band was tour on warped, and the way you look with your guitar just look so passionate, I could tell you loved playing, and...I had that custom made for you. The design idea was from your "Jesus is bleeding for Christ sakes" video where blood was just covering you and your band and all the intruments and how you were being hung on the cross...it was awesome,"

"I can't believe you actually paid attention to all the details of how much I love performing, especially with my guitar, and the video, it's so sweet, Oliver thank you, I can't wait to play it,"

"How about you play me a tune after dinner?" His British accent swam through my ears.

"I'd love to, I may be a little rusty though,"

"I can't wait to hear, I'm sure you'll do great as always," he smiles. I smile. We smile.

Later, after dinner, we took a little stroll down the road, I was caring my case happily to my side and Oli wrapped his jacket around me since it was getting pretty chilly, after our stroll we headed back to our cars, I sat on my front hood.

"So, are you gonna play for me before we say our goodnight, Princess?"

"Of course,"

I take the guitar out of the case and put the strap around my shoulder and started strumming and singing.

What doesn't kill you...

Makes you wish you were dead...

Got a soul in my heart growing deeper and deeper..and I can't take

One more moment, of this silence!

The loneliness is haunting me! And the weight of the world's getting harder to hold up!

In comes in waves

I close my eyes

Hold my breath and let it bury me.

I'm not okay! And it's not alright,

Won't you drag the lake and bring me home again!

Who will fix me now?!

Dive in when I'm down?!

Save me from myself!

Don't let me drown..

Who will make me fight?!

Drag me out alive?!

Save me from myself!

Don't let me drown..

What doesn't destroy you...

Leaves you broke instead...

Got a hole in my soul growing deeper and deeper, and I can't take!

In comes in waves

I close my eyes

Hold my breath and let it bury me.

I'm not okay! And it's not alright,

Won't you drag the lake and bring me home again!

Who will fix me now?!

Dive in when I'm down?!

Save me from myself!

Don't let me drown..

Who will make me fight?!

Drag me out alive?!

Save me from myself!

Don't let me drown..

Cause you know that I can't do this on my own....

Cause you know that I can't do this on my own...

Cause you know that I can't do this on my own...

Cause you know that I can't do this on my own...who will fix me now?! Who will fix me now?!

Who will fix me now?!

Dive in when I'm down?

Save me from myself

Don't let me drown....

When I finished singing, Oliver looked happy. He smiled widely and clapped, making me blush.

"What song was that, that was touching actually?"

"I actually wrote it for you, I mean I heard you were in the studio, and I wanted to help somehow, so I wrote a song for you called Drown...it's special to me so credit me, hehe,"

"That's wonderful, Liz, thank you! I can't wait to record it," he says as hugs me. I hug him back and we say our goodnights and head home.

Three months later....

The kids are in school now and they love it, surprisingly, and Chris and I are on good terms, but still split up, he's been going to rehab for awhile and therapy, and we've been going to counselling every week also and I go to my therapist a lot too, and I honestly feel a lot better about myself. Oli and I are good friends and Kellin and I finished recording our song called "No Angel Here" , we don't tour until next year. Maria basically lives here now, and she only goes home to get a change of clothes, and I have no problem with it what so ever. I hadn't been watching tv much, I always end up watching the news and it really depresses me, and I'm trying to avoid that. So, I've been listening to music, writing, playing my guitar, reading comics, and go out with my friends (meaning either Maria, Andy, Oli, Lyn-Z, or Gerard). Mom and Dad have been coming over a lot too and they get crazier and crazier by the day. Everything is going swell....right?

Brionna

I was in my room doing my homework, science, I hate science. I didn't understand it, Liz is pretty good at it, so I'd thought I'd ask her for help. I rip the paper from my book and headed to her room. I knocked on her door and opened it, she hurriedly throws something in the trash, I couldn't tell what it was, but she kept sniffling, like she'd been crying. I shrugged it off and asked her for help. She informed me on everything I needed to know, and rushed me out of the room after that. I could barely understand what she was saying. Something's up with her. I've gotta tell the girls.
