The Girl in Glasses

Argument

(BACK TO ASTRID'S P.O.V)

As I was running home I left a trail of tears behind me. I was still crying, yes. I then slowly stopped running and walked. After about 3 minutes I made it home. I dropped my forgotten backpack on the floor and rushed up to my bedroom. My mom's somewhere right now, like always, so I'm alone. *sigh* Back to my lonely life. I still changed though. I'm different but I'm still gonna be alone. Just because I changed things about myself doesn't mean everything will change. Unless it's a movie.

I sighed and walked over to my D.J. I love music so I'm gonna sing. As I set up my things I kept thinking. Why did I kiss Hiccup back? Why is everything so complicated? Mostly love. Love is the most complicated thing to have in your life. Or in anyone's life, for that matter. I finished setting up my equipment so when I did I took out my blue laptop. I placed it on top of my table next to my D.J and looked for a song I could sing. Hm...which one, which one? I kept scrolling down until I found a song I wanna sing. I smiled and clicked it. Music can also make me smile. It's not just anything that can light up my world. Music is sorta the only thing that can anyways.

Remember the song I sang for Hiccup at school? Yea. I felt like it connected so much to my life. Ugh. That cheater. I hate him. I broke up with him though. As I thought that I smiled but something in my heart had a little pang. Wait. Why did I feel like I regret breaking up with him? I'm never going to regret it. But...I won't promise it because I'm not entirely sure. Wait, what? I shook my head getting rid of the thoughts floating around my head and paid attention to the world in front of me. I picked the song and stood in front of the mic that I have set up. I'm gonna record this. When the song started it started recording.

You long to set the world straight
But you will fail if you wait or hesitate
So, take aim and pull the trigger back

There was a time when I knew of love and amity
But it faded like the warmth inside a falling tear
Is it a crime to see fault in our humanity?
Why do we create this cycle of hate, breeding more fear?

There's a pain deep inside of me
And you're struggling to stay alive
But if we last I know
We'll live to see a brighter tomorrow

You long to set the world straight
But you will fail if you wait or hesitate
So, take aim and pull the trigger back
Through every fear that you fight
You're giving life to a spark of crimson red
It burns bright just waiting to ignite

As our impulses ring aloud
This world's evolving to the sound of a new beginning

It cries at last, that relentless sound I know so well
Always deafening but I can never pull away
The die is cast and you can't restart or change the past
But if given only one more chance could you carve the way?

I can feel it waste away inside
But the fire in me hasn't died
And I would rather sell my soul
Than watch it all slowly fade away

I'm sick of being afraid
And living by the mistakes that I have made
But I'll change THAT with these hands of mine
Believing in something more
I'll carve a path through that rusted doorway
There's still more that's still worth fighting for

Our battle cry is rising higher
As raw emotion fuels the fire, piercing through the night sky

The shooting stars fall upon the darkness
Until the skies are pitch black and starless
But when the world is reborn the curtains open wide
