The Fall Out (Luke Brooks FanFic)

Songs and Their Hidden Messages

A round of applause echoes around the cafe. Whistles are being 'dished' out but I just ignore them. I'm not a dog. I'm a woman who won't be thrown around by a stupid, irresponsible man.

The drum beat begins to thump in my ears. The bass begins to play the opening chords with the drum kit.

"So busy, it's too much to take

Can't fight this, want to run away.

These streets are just too crowded

And the traffic, it's too loud

It's making me wish for a better day

Not steady, too much is fake

Got to shake it off and sail away

This city makes you crazy, only my guitar to save me

Take me to a different time and place.



Let's get away from here

Pack our bags and disappear

I know I'm just not ready, in a world so hot and heavy

So let's get away from here

Woah, woah, woah



Seems wrong to be hiding from the sun

Those black high heels don't look that fun

I know I'm not the only one, who wants to grab my car keys

Head off to a different kind of place.



Let's get away from here

Pack our bags and disappear

I know I'm just not ready, in a world so hot and heavy

So let's get away from here

Woah, woah, woah



Sometimes I just want to break out

Revaluate my life now

I'm just too young to not have fun



Let's get away from here

Pack our bags and disappear

I know I'm just not ready, in a world so hot and heavy

Woah, woah, woah



I'm just too young to not have fun."

As the clapping increases, more and more people seem to be trying to squeeze into this tiny cafe. Since I just sung an upbeat song I guess I should sing a slower one.

"Alright!! How is everyone enjoying the show??" I exclaim into the microphone, adrenaline rushing through my veins. A chorus of 'I'm great' and 'Fine!!' follow my question. "Well I'm just going to slow it down a bit." My energetic voice informs the growing crowd.

"Never ending, always in my heart

Unworthy feeling whenever we're apart

No way of knowing that things might change

My happy ending looks so far away



I'm so empty, too heavy

Almost ready to break

And I can't wait much longer

I need more than just an angel

And I can't act much stronger

I need more than just an angel.



I keep my head up, looking for a sign

Something to tell me, that I'll be fine

Why do I have to do this on my own?

I am surrounded but I feel so alone



I'm so empty, too heavy

Almost ready to break

And I can't wait much longer

I need more than just an angel

And I can't act much stronger

I need more than just an angel, an angel



And everything is so wrong

I tell myself to be strong

Just to keep holding on

What does it mean to feel love?

To show you what I'm made of

And I'm afraid I've had enough



And I can't wait much longer

I need more than just an angel

And I can't act much stronger

I need more than just an angel, an angel

And I can't wait much longer

I need more than just an angel

And I can't act much stronger

I need more than just an angel."

It's true though, I do need more than just an angel right now. I'm falling apart at the seams and I think I'm about to crumble soon. Maybe I should go to Spain and visit Mum and the family. I haven't seen them in awhile. Or I could fly to Mexico and visit Dad. Two options that, really, are exactly the same.



What am I going to do??

Tears begin to pinprick my eyes as I associate 'Angel' to Luke. Truthfully, I miss him like crazy. I'm finding it so hard to get out of bed every morning because I know me and Luke... aren't exactly talking. But I guess I must finish this performance before going to the pub or home.



Grabbing an acoustic guitar and stool, I prepare myself for doing something I will probably regret.



*Strumming*

"Don't try to make me stay or ask if I'm okay

I don't have the answer

Don't make me stay the night or ask if I'm alright

I don't have the answer

Heartbreak doesn't last forever; I'll say I'm fine

Midnight ain't no time for laughing, when you say goodbye...



It makes your lips, so kissable

And your kiss, unmissable

Your fingertips, so touchable

And your eyes, irresistible



I've tried to ask myself, Should I see someone else?

I wish I knew the answer

But if I go now, if I leave and I'm on my own tonight

I'll never know the answer

Midnight doesn't last forever, Dark turns to light

Heartache flips my world around; I'm falling down, down, down

That's why...



It makes your lips, so kissable

And your kiss, unmissable

Your fingertips, so touchable

And your eyes, irresistible



Irresistible (Irresistible)

Irresistible (Irresistible)

Irresistible (Irresistible)

Irresistible



It's in your lips and in your kiss

It's in your touch and your fingertips

And it's in all the things and other things that make you who you are

And your eyes, irresistible

(It makes your lips) (So kissable)

(And your kiss) (Unmissable)

Your fingertips, so touchable

And your eyes

(Your eyes) (Your eyes) (Your eyes) (Your eyes) (Your eyes)

Irresistible"

*Strumming*

Not being able to contain my tears anymore, the guitar falls to the ground as I run off stage, the salty liquid falling down my face. As the applause carry on, that song just did my head in. My emotions are running wild and they are definitely not in check.

As my feet carry me to little girl's room, other footsteps echo mine. Heavy breathing stops behind me as I pause mid stride. Turning around slowly, my 'ex' boyfriend embraces me in a hug.

"I'm so, so, so sorry Cody. I didn't mean to hurt you. I was so disrespectful, careless and stupid." Luke confesses to me before pressing a kiss to my hair.

"I don't know if I'll ever be able to forgive you." I also confess. My mouth moving before my brain can keep up.

"I know. I've just missed holding you in my arms. I miss your touch and most of all I miss your kiss. I miss fighting with you till two am. I miss having our movie days and nights. I miss you every single freaking moment of the day. I miss it when you don't hang out with us boys anymore. I've been missing you like crazy Cody." Silence fills the small amount of air between us. Chanting screams from the front of the cafe, demanding for me to get back up on stage.



"Cody... I love you."
