Broken Strings

Chapter Five

You and I can fall as hard as we want

Make the story all our own and blow Shakespeare's mind,

It's ours to write, it's our love and it's our life

And right or wrong, we'll write our own storyline

The music slows and Hayden starts to sing his solo. He turns to me smiling as he sings it. He won't act like this while in a concert. He'll sing it to the audience trying to make the fans feel like that he was singing to them. But for now he sings to me and I laugh at him as he tries to look sincere.

Let's make the story of our lives whatever we wanna make it,

There's rules about the way this works I think it's time that we break them,

From the moment that I met you there's just one thing I've been praying

If this boy gets you girl, girl would you take my name?

We bounce on our feet as the beat picks up and we both sing the last few lines together.

'cause you and I can fall as hard as we want

Make the story all our own and blow Shakespeare's mind,

It's ours to write, it's our love and it's our life

And right or wrong, we'll write our own storyline

I said right or wrong, we'll write our own storyline

It's all in our storyline,

It's part of our storyline,

It's all in our, all in our storyline

We both stand in the middle of the stage breathing heavily as we look at each other. The song was upbeat. But it meant so much to Hayden and I.

His eyes had softened. Obviously thinking about the same thing I was. All our songs meant so much to us but this was the one that managed to show how we really felt.

It had nothing to do with love originally but we had to change it so it would appeal to our fans. The song was about so much more than that.

Suddenly there is a faint clapping sound. I turn out to the empty rows of seats to see two boys sitting there. I squint my eyes trying to see who they are but could only make out two figures, nothing distinctive.

They clap and cheer for us. They stand up and make their way to the stage. I walk over to the edge and sit down hoping to be close enough to them to see who they are.

Barriers are set up not too far from the front of the stage but the boys simply hop over them. The barriers aren't really going to be used until later.

"That was great." A green eyed boy says. I smile at him in thanks unsure of who he is. I want to ask why he was here but my social skills are quite lacking. Luckily Hayden comes to my rescue.

"Wait until you see our real show." Hayden jokes sitting down beside me.

"Well we're going to be seeing it enough times. Hi I'm Josh. I play guitar in The Faults." Josh nods slightly towards us. He has grey eyes, though they aren't dull as would be expected. I look between the two boys. So these are the people I'd be spending my tour with.

"Hey I'm Hayden. This is Esther, don't mind her she's a mute." Hayden constantly comments on my shyness so there was no surprise there.

"Shut up." I shove him feeling my cheeks going pink. I turn back to the boys the two of them smiling at us.
