Someone Like You (Sequel to Strong)

Chapter 2

"All I want is a cookie slapper!" Mitch complained as he started to quickly kill people. He and Jerome were doing a livestream, and Alex and I were just randomly there, making faces behind the boys.
"I'VE GOT THEIR FLAG!!!!!!!!!!" Jerome yelled as he started to have his character run.
"These two are idiots..." Alex chuckled, glancing at me as she put down her phone.

"They are, but they're our idiots," I smirked and nudged her with my elbow as my IPhone started to ring, causing me to jump.

"You just ruined the live stream, Kels!" Mitch joked as he chuckled, continuing to slaughter people in MineCraft.

I rolled my brown eyes before answering my phone and walking out of the room, "Herro?" I asked into the speaker in a weird voice.

"Kels! We need you at the studio to record a couple songs!" My friend, Dylan, chirped, causing me to groan. This whole week has been working on the album, and planning for tour. I can't complain, I guess....But it's hard to balance work and everything else.

"Okay, I'll be there in a few," I said, sighing before hanging up and walking into the 'gaming room', where Mitch, Jerome, and Alex were, "Guys, I've got to go to the studio."

"Why?" Mitch complained as he glanced at me before screaming at his screen because someone killed him.

"They want me to record a couple songs. I should be back by 6," I said as I walked over to Mitch and wrapped my arms around his neck, letting my chin rest against his shoulder.

"Awe, well have fun, baby gurl," Mitch chirped as he turned his head and pecked my lips before going back to playing Capture the Flag. I chuckled softly and kissed his cheek before looking at his web cam and waving.

"Bye, internet!" I said as I smiled and walked away, hugging both Jerome and Alex before grabbing my leather jacket and heading out of the house.

"So, which songs am I recording?" I asked as I walked into the tall building for Hopeless Records. Yes, Collide With the Sky is signed to the same recording label as All Time Low. Crazy, right?

"Uhh, Windows in Heaven, Heartless Saviors, and Someone Like You," Lucas chirped as he smiled at the lady at the front desk and threw his arm around my shoulders, pressing the button for the elevator. 

"Really?" I groaned and walked into the elevator as soon as the doors opened, dreading to have to record the song. It's not that I hate that song, it's just that for this album the producer we were working with made Dylan and I dig deep within ourselves for the lyrics...and Windows in Heaven happened to be written about my dad.

"Don't worry, Kels. You'll be fine," Lucas smiled his famous 100 watt smile as the elevator opened and let us onto the second floor. Lucas and I walked in silence for a couple of seconds as we both walked into a room, Lucas jumping on the couch that was in there.

"Kelsey!" Hope, the producer, smiled at me as I waved at her, also waving at the rest of my band mates before walking into the recording booth and putting on the head phones.

"You ready?" Hope asked as I nodded and gave her a thumbs up, standing next to the mic. (Play the song!!)

Soon enough, the music started to play and I started to sing, "Seems like a dream
Awaken before it was done
How could this be?
I walk alone
But sometimes I picture your hands held in my own
My brave face is too late now

If you could see me now
Would you be pleased and proud?
I'm doing fine
But sometimes I cry
When I see your face
Are there windows in heaven
To see me now
Through all the sky and clouds
Living my life
With a heart full of pride
When I see your face
Are there windows in heaven

You didn't leave
But you left behind more than you know
More than I see
Still can't let go
Your image I can't say goodbye
Here from below
My brave face is too late now," the music stopped, and so did my voice as I felt a tear roll down my cheek.

"You okay, Kels?" Dylan asked as she, our manager, and the producer looked at me. Taking a shaky breath, I nodded before telling them to start up the song again.
