Chapter 16

Chelsea Smith

Early in the morning, I have to go to my Dad's house as I was told to. The family want to discuss Shane's funeral.

And I will probably get lectured about the house and everything else in my life that they find wrong.

When I step into the house, I see my Aunts and Uncles.

Dad led me to the table where I sit beside one of my Aunts.

"So I heard the house caught on fire... And your arm got injured." Dad started off.

Here we go.

I step back into Cali's house, "we got a gig, we got a gig, WE GOT A GIG!" Lea shouted in my face. "Okay then.. Why are you so excited?" I raise my eyebrows at her. 

"We're performing with 5sauce." 

I saw it coming, I totally saw it coming. 

"When?" I ask, trying to ignore that I will be seeing Luke. I see Luke like everyday, but now it's just awkward as hell.

"Soundcheck is tomorrow afternoon, performance is tomorrow night." 

"Well, that's kinda of fast..." I mumbled. "Yeah, but it's the only place I can get in this year so... Yeah." Lea giggles excitedly. 

She's happy to see Calum perform, she finds him hot when he is sweaty and sticky.

"Good evening Sydney, I am Cali Johnson and I am happy to be here." She started playing electric guitar. 

The spotlight shine on me and I started to sing Can You Feel My Heart by Bring Me The Horizon. 

After the song, I gulp and prepare for the next one. 

Another shot of whiskey please bartender
Keep it coming 'til I don't remember at all
How bad it hurts when you're gone (no, no, no, no)

I start to sing Just A Fool by Christina Aguilera featuring Blake Shelton with Brandon. 

Turn the music up a little bit louder
Just gotta get past the midnight hour (uh, huh)
Maybe tomorrow it won't be this hard

Who am I kidding?
I know what I'm missing

Oh, I had my heart set on you

But nothing else hurts like you do

After this song, it is a song by the boys and we decide to cover it... Well I decided. 

Six weeks since I've been away
And now you're sayin' everything has changed
And I'm afraid that I might be losing you
And every night that we spend alone

It kills me thinking of you on your own
And I wish I was back home next to you

Oh, everyday
You feel a little bit further away

And I don't know what to say

Are we wasting time
Talking on a broken line?
Telling you I haven't seen your face in ages
I feel like we're as close as strangers

I open my eyes, and immediately noticed Luke in the crowd. I look away from him and noticed that the boys are surprised we're singing this song. 

Won't give up
Even though it hurts so much
Every night I'm losing you in a thousand faces
Now it feels we're as close as strangers

- - -

After our performance, it is the boys turn. 

I watch Luke silhouttee on the stage, i put both of my hands together and place it on the right side of my cheek. 

Tonight we're fading fast
I just wanna make this last
If I could say the things that I want to say,
I'd find a way to make you stay

I'd never let you get away
Catch you in all the games we've played

So go ahead, rip my heart out,
Show me what love's all about

Go ahead, rip my heart out
That's what love's all about

I want you to want me this way,
And I need you to need me to stay
If you say that you don't feel a thing
If you don't know, let me go, let me go, let me go, let me go
If you don't know then just let me go 

I let tears stream down my cheeks as the song continued, I quickly wipe away my tears and sat up straight. 

"I am going back, I will see you guys tomorrow." I told my crew, "is everything okay?" Diana ask. 

"Yeah, I am just really tired." I reply and quickly took my leave.
