I Fell For My Childhood Bestfriend. Now He's The Hollywood Bad Boy

Chapter Five

Mercy’s P.O.V

"You know that I'm a crazy bitch! I do what I want when I feel like it! All I wanna do is lose control! but you don't really give a shit! You go with it, go with it, and go with it! Cause your fuckin' crazy Rock 'n' Roll!" I sing loudly in my empty bedroom

I hear a knock on my door. "Who is it?" I call out to the one on the other side if the door

"It's Marnie...” she says hesitantly

"Come on in." I say

"Look, Mercy... Can I talk to you!" she asks

"Go ahead!" I say

"It's about Tyler...” she pauses "I have had Tyler's back since the day he moved to Hollywood... And I know how much he loves you; there is not a day that goes by that he doesn't confess his live for you... Please just give him a chance."

"You don't know the pain I went through because of him! He never even said goodbye, he gave me a stupid note!" I say to her wanting to cry

"Let me ask you, if it had been you who was offered to go live in Hollywood an live out your dream, would you have done it?" she asks

"Not without saying goodbye and begging his parents to let Him come with me!" I say as a feel a tear fall down my face

"How do you know he didn't try to ask your parents if you could come!" she asks

"Because! He didn't want me! Otherwise he wouldn't have left me here all by myself!" I say

"I rest my case...” she says jokingly

"So...” I say awkwardly

"I have to go... See you at school on Monday." she says getting up and walking over to my door. She turns around and says bye before disappearing shutting my door behind her.

I lay on my bed in silence as I start to cry... What if she's telling the truth and I've just been the worst best friend in the world? How can I live with knowing, that maybe he did care...? I know what I have to do... The only thing I can, SING! And I have to make it perfect before Monday. I'm going to have to beg my dad for my guitar...

I wipe away the tears and get up before going downstairs and into the living room. I sit down on the couch beside dad and snuggle up to him. He looks down at me and smiles before speaking.

"What did you do?" he asks

"Not what I did, what I'm going to do... But I need my guitar to do it...” I say sighing and batting my eye lashes

"Let me reframe my question then, what are you going to do?" he asks

"Sing, tomorrow... But I need to practice and I haven't even started, because I was in the hospital and everything else...” I say

"Fine, you can have it back. It's in the closet." he says slightly shaking his head knowing he has lost yet again.

"Thank you daddy! I love you!" I say getting up and walking over to the closet and grabbing my guitar. I take it upstairs and into my bedroom. I turn on my computer and wait for it to load. When it loads I type in my password. I open the Internet and my guitar chords page opens up straight away. I type in the song I want and the lyrics and cords pop up right away. I take my computer and move it to my bed sitting down with my computer in front of me with my guitar in my lap. I look at the dust dew notes and memorize them. I start to play the song and sing along.

*********THREE HOURS AND TWO PICKS LATER********

"Mercy! David! Dinner's ready!" mom calls up the stairs

I place my guitar down and get off my bed to downstairs for dinner. That is until I remember her telling me earlier that Tyler and his family are coming over for dinner so I diced to change my outfit.

I put in a white flowing skirt, light blue tank top and a white and grey stepped button up sweater. I grab my white flats from under my bed and slip them on. I walk out of my room and down the stairs into the kitchen/dining room area. I look around to see everyone’s eyes on me. I take the only seat left next to Tyler and David.

"Uhmm. Is there something on my face?" I ask confused as to why there all still looking at me

"You look beautiful." says Tyler

"Thanks...” I reply

Mom comes out with a tray of food and places it on the table. She dies this several times before going to sit down at her seat. We all dig in and pile our plates full of food. Halfway through dinner mom speaks up. 

"Hey, Mercy... How about after dinner you grab your guitar and sing us all a song." she says

"Uhm. Mom the only son I have ready to sing for anyone is for school on Monday...” I say

"Well I'm sure you can sing it for just us...” she says

"But I don't want anyone from my music class to heart it... And both Tyler and Marnie are in my class." I say

"Think of this as your practice run." she says

"Fine." I say

Either that or I can just pick a whole new song...

We Finnish Dunn in silence and I go upstairs to grab my guitar. I come back downstairs and my mom calls out to tell me that they are all in the living room. I walk into the living room and sit on the chair across from Tyler.

"This song is called Front Row by Madi Amyotte." i say

"Our song is playing on the radio
But goodbye is ringing in my ears
I don't know how much I can take without you here.
Heartpounds, pounding like a kickdrum
Skip beats, feeling so alone
I need, need you in the front if my life's a show.

It all came down to circumstance
I guess that fate had other plans
Now all we have is all that's
In my dreams..." i sing

taking a deep breath in i start to sing the next part.

"Everynight, I know you're gunna be there
Right in the very front row.
And I'll close my eyes just hoping that you'll reach out
Hold on, and never let go
You're so close so far away
I'd do anything for you to stay
I'll close my eyes cause I know you're gunna be there
Right in the very front
Right in the very front row. "

"You know me better than anyone
Without you my life is out of tune
Shows over can't go on if I'm without you.

It all came down to circumstance
Not like we threw out what we had
Now all we know is all that's
In my dreams...
In our dreams..."

"Everynight, I know you're gunna be there
Right in the very front row.
And I'll close my eyes just hoping that you'll reach out
Hold on, and never let go
You're so close so far away
I'd do anything for you to stay
I'll close my eyes cause I know you're gunna be there
Right in the very front
Right in the very front row. "

"You know you'll always be my everything
No matter what comes in between
Even when the lights are fading
I will always fight for you and me
You and me.

Everynight yeah I know you're gunna be there
Right in the very front row
I'll close my eyes just hoping that you'll reach out
Hold on and never let... go"

"Everynight, I know you're gunna be there
Right in the very front row.
And I'll close my eyes just hoping that you'll reach out
Hold on, and never let go
You're so close so far away
I'd do anything for you to stay
I'll close my eyes cause I know you're gunna be there 
Right in the very front
Right in the very front row." i sing the last bit of the song and everyone claps lightly.

"If you dont mind Mercy, could i use your guitar and sing a song too?" asks Tyler

"Of course." i say handing it over to him
