This chapter is based off some mccafferty songs so whatever songs I mention go listen to them!!
Band au
Travis - lead singer and guitarist (plays acoustic and electric)
Larry- drummer
Phillip- electric guitar
Ash-bass

Travis pov: me,Larry,Ash, and Phillip just had preforming Nails like god and Loser and we're packing up. We're in the theater at school practicing for a talent show coming up and my excuse for staying so late at school was that I was doing Bible study with kids from school so I wouldn't get my ass beat. Everyone left but me. I pulled out my guitar and a sheet of paper with the title being 'Trees II'
And I got the cords ready and started at the paper.

Sal pov: I walked past the theater room to hear a guitar, by my knowledge practice was over but I guess not. I snuck in a got a seat in the very back and saw travis sitting criss cross on the stage facing the curtain and he started singing softly
I recognized the lyrics. I saw the paper a while ago in his binder when we when we were doing homework. He sang

"The word tragic means a lot to me. I got bullied a lot as a teen
I know to cut and I know how to bleed"
My eyes widened I never Travis self harmed but I kept quiet

"You'll never know how much it means to me.
   My mommy says that god sees      everything
He's knows I'm good and I just want to be
Friends with these kids
Who are so mean to me
Why can't you all be nice to me?

I frown, I remember him telling me about being bullied in middle school  and it wasn't a great time for him. My heart ached a lot hearing it all

"Cute guy, nice face
Wrong time, wrong place
I knew in a matter of a minute
His face was smashed
His skin was burnt
His shirt was torn in the dirt
Cute guy, nice face
Wrong time, wrong place
I knew in a matter of a minute
His face was smashed
His skin was burnt
His shirt was torn."

was that about me?? He continued but he raised his voice this time sounding scratchy
"I know a ghost
Good friend bad host
Parents found out
Cell phone left out
Bullies get bullied
Cycle repeating
Bullies get bullied
Cycle repeating

So count
So count me out
So please don't leave
I need you more than you need me
You're beautiful and smart and kind
While I am ugly, full of lies
Like you and me were always safe
I ran, I ran the fuck away
Like I could be grown up some day
God dammit God dammit I'm sorry
God dammit God dammit God dammit I'm sorry
God dammit God dammit God dammit I'm sorry
God dammit God dammit God dammit I'm sorry
Well I'm sorry
Oh I'm sorry"

I remembered the last line and decided I would sing along.

"And I can't be with you anymore
I can't live like this anymore
I can't hold your heart anymore
I need you to go on without me
You're always drunk alone with your best friends
I'm always stuck alone with my repressed thoughts
With my repressed thoughts
With my repressed thoughts
With my repressed thoughts

I thought I thought
That evil was young
The devil was old
And winter was hot
While summer was cold
But I was so backwards in my thoughts
And I was so backwards in my heart
And I was so stuck in a fucking rut
It took so much fucking guts
To walk away
To end that pain
To leave my home
To break those chains"

I started to sing along with him

"And I was so backwards in my thoughts
And I was so backwards in my heart
And I was so backwards in my thoughts
And I was so backwards in my heart
And I was so stuck in a fucking rut"

We both sang,he looked up and noticed me. I walked up to the stage after we finished

Travis pov: oh shit. Sal was In here the entire time?? I hope not how did he know the lyrics??
"Sal what are you doing here??" I yelled out. Sal didnt answer, he then took off his mask and started kissing me. I gave in and kissed back after a while he pulled away "nice song my love" Sal says softly and he puts his head on my shoulder "thanks darling,but how did you know the last part??"
Sal giggled and smiled "remember when we were doing homework? I saw it in your binder and read it plus memorized it while you were in the bathroom" I chuckled "ohhh!" He then kissed me more and hugged me, he offered to drive me home but I said I would just stay with tonight and make a dumb excuse for my dad

I love Sal. He's perfect.
