rise up.

chapter 4

*robins pov*

we arrived at the house an hour later. it was really big, plenty of space for two bands and two extras.

"well," beau said, "blake and robin will share the extra extra extra room. dont worry children, there is a bathroom connected and a mini fridge in there." i smiled, monster.

"kk, and could we light stuff on fire tonight?" what? im a pyro.

i saw alan's face light up, "yes. fire."

elliot turned to me and smiled like he was possessed by the devil himself, "only if you promise to play for us." fuck. everyone else looked lost.

"uhhhhhh i dont really-"

"do you have an extra acoustic?", blake asked.

"i have one, you can borrow it as long as there is fire." alan, really?

"okay, everyone has one hour to go and change into something comfy, by the way i think adam is coming over so look normal ish for possible photots." beau said.

i looked at blake and he looked at me; we said at the exact same time, "i call picking your outfit!"

everyone laughed as we stole alan's guitar, dragged everything upstairs, and got ready.

*blakes pov*

when we were finished we looked in the mirror. she looked adorable in her pierce the veil muscle tank, floral lace tights, highwaisted shorts, and black combat boots. an i looked pretty good myself in a bring me the horizon tshirt, shredded black skinnies, and black vans. her make up was simple and flawless as usual and my hair was on point.

we walked down hand in hand but no one noticed by the time we were at the bottom of the stairs. i looked at her and she smiled like elliot had earlier. she let go of my hand and crept slowly toward phil, i watched as she bent her knees. then she launched herself onto his back.

he flailed his arms and caught the edge of the counter, she just held on tight while laughing. her laugh was adorable and everone slowly stopped laughing and smiled. she stopped laughing and looked around still on phil's back.

"what..."

austin broke the silence with the cutest smile ever, "your laugh is so cute!" 

she blushed really deep and smiled, "shut up..."

i heard a camera click, "perfect timing as always." adam was here.

alan raised his hand, "hey can we do fire now?"

robin jumped of phils back and ran upstairs. we all looked at each other a bit worried. then i remembered the guitars.

we heard slow cautious footsteps on the stairs, then robin came around the corner with both cases in her hands and her lucky zippo in her teeth.

i took alan's guitar from her and turned, "well lets go make fire!"

we all sat down on stumps around the fire in the back yard. well adam stood to take better pictures.

"uhm so what do i sing?" robin sounded a bit scared.

"anything bird, show us what you can do."

*robin's pov*

"anything bird, show us what you can do." anyhing.

"blake, you good with hold?" that got a nod from blake and weird looks from the others.

i closed my eyes and heard blake start in, here we go.

*beau's pov*

"she sets up high surrounded by the sun, one million branches and she loves everyone. mom and dad, did you search for me? ive been up here so long, im goin' crazy!"

as soon as the first lines came out of her mouth we were all lost in the music, adam being the only one taking pictures. i had my phone recording just in case.

 god, her voice was beautiful. her voice mixed with blakes for a while until he dropped out, strumming a background melody as she sang.

her eyes were shut but you could tell that she put every bit of herself into that song.

"this love was out of control, tell me where did it go." i watched her eyes open and find blakes. "i still promise you blake. i will find home someday, and i wont give up looking."

his face lit up and he handed alan the guitar, standing up robin set hers on her seat; she threw her arms around his neck and he wrapped his arms around her torso.

i started to clap and everyone joined in, adam smiled, "these are the best pictures i think i have ever taken."

phil stood up, "hate to break up the love and happy, but i think alan is gonna die if we dont eat soon..." alan jumped up and ran to the house as soon as phil said food.

we all got up and started to walk in. i looked behind me and saw blakes arm around robin, her head on his shoulder, and a proud look on adam's face.

"well, lets get this party started! you cant just skip a birthday robin!" she smiled at me and they ran inside.

"i'll send that pic to you tomorrow, that has to be hung up somewhere."
