Luke/Percy's POV
Everyone cheered and laughed, talking and laughing about what happened.
"That was sooooo coool" Hannah said, making me roll my eyes "is this what it's normally like?"
"Pretty much" I replied.
"Tour's amazing" Issac said "Want another one Luke?"
"Woah, just wait a sec; I haven't even finished the next album yet. I have no idea if they will like it or not" I said, looking at Issac.
"It's you Luke, everyone will love it" Issac said.
"Someone suggested your Panic! At the Disco medley from the concert" Nyx said.
I looked at the others.
"I mean, it might spoil it for the last two shows but-"
"They obviously want to see your reaction to 'Casual Affair'" Mayla said.
I glared at her.
"It's not my fault it's one of my favourite songs and everyone thinks it's about Brendon" I said, crossing my arms.
"He's blushing, he is so-"
(A/N here's the code again.
I might not use it a lot of the time
But here it is
All: normal
Issac: Italics
Hannah: bold
Mayla: underline
Luke: bold Italics)
"Oh, well imagine
As I'm pacing the pews in a church corridor
And I can't help but to hear
No, I can't help but to hear an exchanging of words" I sung
"I love you"
"I love you too" Hannah and Daniel said to each other almost making me laugh.
"What a beautiful wedding
What a beautiful wedding, says a bridesmaid to a waiter" I sung.
"And, yes, but what a shame
What a shame the poor groom's bride is a-"
"Beautiful WOMEN!" I shouted, cutting Mayla off.
She glared at me.
"THIS IS THE YOUTUBE, NO SWEARING ON THE YOUTUBE!" Hannah yelled, making me grin.
Mayla poked her tongue at me.
"I chime in with a
Haven't you ever heard of closing a goddamn door?
No, it's much better to face these kinds of things with a sense of poise and rationality" I sung.
"I chime in
Haven't you ever heard of closing a goddamn door?
No, it's much better to face these kinds of things with a sense of-" everyone sung.
"Oh, well in fact
Well I'll look at it this way
I mean, technically, our marriage is saved
Well this calls for a toast
So pour the champagne" Hannah sung.
"Oh, well in fact
Well I'll look at it this way
I mean, technically, our marriage is saved
Well this calls for a toast
So pour the champagne, pour the champagne" Issac sung.
"I chime in with a
Haven't you ever heard of closing a goddamn door?
No, it's much better to face these kinds of things with a sense of poise and rationality
I chime in
Haven't you people ever heard of closing a goddamn door?
No, it's much better to face these kinds of things with a sense of poise and-" everyone sung.
"-rationality
Again" I sung, nothing Andy glare at me.
Oh yeah, vocal rest.
"I chime in
Haven't you people ever heard of closing a goddamn door?
No, it's much better to face these kinds of things with a sense of poise and rationality
I chime in
Haven't you people ever heard of closing a goddamn door?
No, it's much better to face these kinds of things with a sense of poise and rationality
Again" everyone sung.
"You put a sour little flavor in my mouth now" I started straight after "You move in circles hoping no one's gonna find out
But we're so lucky
Kiss the ring and let 'em bow down
Looking for the time of your life"
"no one's gonna find out" Mayla sung.
"A pretty picture but the scenery is so loud
A face like heaven catching lighting in your nightgown
But back away from the water, babe, you might drown
The party isn't over tonight" I sung.
"party in your night gown" Hannah sung.
"Hey
Where will you be waking up tomorrow morning?
Hey
Out the back door goddamn but I love her anyway" Issac sung.
"I love her anyway" Hannah sung.
"hey" everyone else sung.
"I love her anyway" Mayla sung.
"hey" everyone else sung again, even Andy and the driver was joining in.
"Out the back door goddamn but I love her anyway
Miss Jackson, Miss Jackson, Miss Jackson" I sung.
"Are you nasty?" Everyone else sung.
"Miss Jackson, Miss Jackson, Miss Jackson"
"Are you nasty?"
"Miss Jackson, Miss Jackson, Miss Jackson"
"Are you nasty, are you nasty?"
"I love her anyway" I sung.
"Oh"
"Where will you be waking up tomorrow morning?" I sung after everyone sung.
"Oh"
"Out the back door goddamn but I love her anyway"
"Way down 'til the fire finally dies out
You've got 'em wrapped around your finger watch 'em fall down
There's something beautiful and tragic in the fall out
Let me say it one more time" Mayla sung
"Tragic in the fall out" I sung.
"Hey
Where will you be waking up tomorrow morning?
Hey
Out the back door goddamn but I love her anyway" Issac sung.
"Hey, hey , hey" everyone sung, Mayla starting to clap the beat and everyone else following.
"I love her anyway" I sung over the 'hey "I love her anyway
Out the back door goddamn but I love her anyway
Miss Jackson, Miss Jackson, Miss Jackson"
"Are you nasty?"
"Miss Jackson, Miss Jackson, Miss Jackson"
"Are you nasty?"
"Miss Jackson, Miss Jackson, Miss Jackson"
"Are you nasty, are you nasty?"
"I love her anyway"
"Oh"
"Where will you be waking up tomorrow morning?"
"Oh"
"Out the back door goddamn but I love her anyway"
"I love her anyway"
"Miss Jackson, Miss Jackson, Miss Jackson
Are you nasty?
Miss Jackson, Miss Jackson, Miss Jackson
Are you nasty?
Miss Jackson, Miss Jackson, Miss Jackson
Are you nasty, are you nasty?
I love her anyway
Oh
When will you be waking up tomorrow morning?
Oh
Out the back door goddamn but I love her anyway"
I smiled slightly as my favourite songs are coming up.
I notice Mayla and Hannah grinning at each other.
All n-
"Finders keepers, losers weepers!" They both sung.
"Finders keepers, losers weepers" we all sung.
"Welcome to the end of eras
Ice has melted back to life
Done my time and served my sentence
Dress me up and watch me die
If it feels good, tastes good
It must be mine
Dynasty decapitated
You just might see a ghost tonight
And if you don't know now you know
I'm taking back the crown
I'm all dressed up and naked
I see what's mine and take it (Finders keepers, losers weepers)
Oh yeah
The crown
So close I can taste it
I see what's mine and take it (Finders keepers, losers weepers)
Oh yeah
Sycophants on velvet sofas
Lavish mansions, vintage wine
I am so much more than royal
Snatch your chain and mace your eyes
If it feels good, tastes good
It must be mine
Heroes always get remembered
But you know legends never die
And if you don't know now you know
I'm taking back the crown
I'm all dressed up and naked
I see what's mine and take it (finders keepers, losers weepers)
Oh yeah
The crown
So close I can taste it
I see what's mine and take it (finders keepers, losers weepers)
Oh yeah
Mortal kings are ruling castles
Welcome to my world of fun
Liars settle into sockets
Flip the switch and watch them run
Oh yeah
(Finders keepers, losers weepers)
I'm taking back, back, taking back, back the crown
I'm all dressed up and naked
I see what's mine and take it (Finders keepers, losers weepers)
Oh yeah
The crown
So close I can taste it
I see what's mine and take it (Finders keepers, losers weepers)
Oh yeah
(Finders keepers, losers weepers)
(Finders keepers, losers weepers)"
"Btw Luke, you're singing this alone" Mayla said, smirking.
I looked at her confused for a second and then I froze.
I paled as I realise what song was next.
Crap.
I rolled my eyes.
"Hey, a casual affair
That could go anywhere
And only for tonight" I sung, trying not to show my feelings
~'"So what's your name and what instrument do you play?"
"Hi, my name is Brendon McAdams and I play the electric guitar"
"Okay, take it away Brendon"'~
"Take any moment, any time
A lover on the left
A sinner on the right"
~'"So you're in"
"Wait really?"
"You have an amazing talent, why do you doubt yourself?"
Brendon sighed.
"You're just so talented and I could never be even good enough to be in a band like yours"
I smiled at him.
"Well you are and don't say stuff like that; you are good enough"'~
"Lay in the atmosphere
A casual affair (Hush-hush, don't you say a word)"
I looked at Mayla, who smirked at me.
I rolled my eyes and ignored her.
"Lay in the atmosphere
A casual affair
Ohhhhh
Break involuntary ties
A secret so the spies
Could never find us out"
~'"Can I ask you a question?"
"Sure Brendon, what's up?"
"This is hard for me but...I'm bisexual"
"There's nothing wrong with that I'm pansexual, it doesn't change anything"
"No, it does, I have a crush on you but I have a wife"'~
"Stay for as long as you have time
So the mess that we'll become
Leaves something to talk about"
~'"I can't believe we did this! Amber is going to be furious and-"
"Calm down Brendon, everything will be okay, Amber won't find out...this can be a thing between us"
"Are you sure? You're not going to say anything?"
"I promise"'~
"Just lay in the atmosphere
A casual affair (Hush-hush, don't you say a word)
Lay in the atmosphere
A casual affair"
"I did it, I did it, I did it, I did it, I did it, I did it, I did it again
I did it, I did it, I did it, I did it, I did it, I did it, I did it again
I did it, you did it, I did it, you did it, I did it, you did it, I did it again
I did it, you did it, I did it, you did it, I did it, you did it, I did it again"
~'"Luke, Percy, whatever you're called, listen to me-"
"No you listen to me!"
"This can risk everything I have built up on!"
"The same with me and what am I doing? Risking it!"
"Well I'm not"
"Brendon..."
"I'm out! I'm out the band and I'm out of your life. I can't believe you are so...selfish and don't think about everyone else!"'~
"Lay in the atmosphere
A casual affair (Hush-hush, don't you say a word)
Lay in the atmosphere
A casual affair"
"Can we stop now?" I asked, breathing quiet heavily "Please?"
"But-"
"Mayla" Nyx said sternly "He's not even meant to be singing at the moment, give him a break"
"Only if he sings the song he's writing" Mayla said.
Nyx looked at me worriedly.
I sighed with defeat.
"Fine" I said "But if you don't like, it don't kill me or interrupt me"
"But-"
"Han" I said sternly.
Everyone sighed and nodded.
~THIS WAS THE PART I WAS TALKING ABOUT IN PART 1 ABOUT THE SONG TALKING ABOUT SUICDE SO PLEASE, IF YOU ARE NOT COMFORTABLE, PLEASE DO NOT READ UNTIL YOU SEE SOMETHING LIKE THIS AGAIN~
"This song is called nightmare" I said "I half wrote this while I was under the influence of drugs and my depression"
I stoped and watched everyone look at me, intrigued.
"This song is about the inner demons in my head, 'My Demons' but more darker" I said and took a deep breath "The part I was debating about is the bridge...which is when I mention in detail one of my suicide attempts"
Everyone gasped.
"You should include that" Nyx said calmly "People need to know what you went through"
'The others are on the livestream now' I heard Nyx say in my head.
People equals to demigods.
I sighed and grabbed out my computer and clicked the file.
"This is just a backing track for me for parts I can't sing at the same time yet" I said.
They all nodded.
"Ready?" I asked.
"Ready" Mayla said, giving me a supportive smile.
I took a deep breath and pressed play.
I noticed the band members jamming, liking the beat.
Well they won't like it for long.
"They're coming creeping from the corner
And all I know is that I don't feel safe"
I notice the other's happy smiles turn into a concerned look.
"I feel the tapping on my shoulder
I turn around in an alarming state
But am I losing my mind?
I really think so
Not a creature in sight
But, what you don't know
Is that my breathing gets faster and so does my heartbeat
I wish this was over, I wish that this was a dream but
I created a monster, a hell within my head
Nowhere to go, I'm out on my own"
I heard my voice on the track saying 'Oh I'm so scared'
"I created a monster, a beast inside my brain
I've nowhere to go, I'm out on my own
My mind impaired
Awake me from my nightmare"
"Wait, something doesn't feel right (feel right)
No, something seems wrong (wrong)
And I've been feeling this way (oh that's too bad), for
Far too long
As my vision gets blurred, my skin's getting colder
Appearing young, while I'm growing older
I collapse to the floor and scream,
"Can anybody save me from myself?"
They are all frowning now, gods, this was a bad idea.
I notice Nyx looking at me with tears in her eyes.
She knows where this song is going.
"I created a monster, a hell within my head
Nowhere to go, I'm out on my own
Oh I'm so scared (Oh I'm so scared)
I created a monster, a beast inside my brain
I've nowhere to go, I'm out on my own
My mind impaired
Awake me from my nightmare"
I grabbed Nyx's hand which was reaching out for support.
I tightly held it and close my eyes, trying not to relive that memory.
"Walking to the ledge
I find myself looking down
Frozen still with fear
Now I'm plunging to the ground"
I snapped my eyes open, looking frantic.
"If only I knew how to fly
Then I could convince myself this isn't my time to die
Instead, I'm rocketing faster and faster
I dive-bomb to the floor
And when my body crashes to the pavement
I'm right back where I was before
I created a monster, a hell within my head
Nowhere to go, I'm out on my own
Oh I'm so scared
I created a monster, a hell within my head
Nowhere to go, I'm out on my own
Oh I'm so scared
No!
(This is my nightmare)
I created a monster, a beast inside my brain
(I'm on my own!)
Nowhere to go, I'm out on my own
My mind impaired
Awake me from my nightmare (I'm so scared)
Awake me from my nightmare (I'm so scared)
Awake me from my nightmare (I'm so scared)
Awake me from my nightmare (I'm so scared)
Awake me from my nightmare!"
Everyone looked at me with silence and shock.
I paused the track, letting go of Nyx's hand.
"So..how did you like it?" I asked softly.
"Is that going to effect you that way each time?" Mayla asked.
"I will get over it" I admitted "It's just because...it's fresh"
Mayla widen her eyes.
"How fresh?" Mayla asked.
"And how would you survive that?" Hannah asked.
I looked around nervously.
"He did this just before the tour" Nyx said, making everyone gasp as I looked down "off the top of our apartment building, he's lucky he even survived. He landed on a...truck containing foam"
"Luke-"
"Stop the livestream...now" I said sharply, feeling the tears coming down.
"Done!" Nyx said after a few seconds.
~NOW IT'S ALL GOOD BUT SADNESS IS PRESENT~
I looked up and wiped my tears.
"I'm sorry guys it's just-"
"Don't say sorry for something you didn't mean to do" Mayla said "It was those pricks, those ass-"
"OKay Mayla" Nyx said.
"We could get ice cream when we get there" Hannah said "Or the next town, can we do that driver?"
"Yeah sure" the driver said "And at that stop is a place which has an amusement park"
"Can we stop there please?" Issac asked, looking at Andy and Nyx.
"I mean, they need a break" Nyx said, looking at Andy.
Andy sighed.
"Fine, just cover up. That footage of the livestream will be making news" Andy said.
Everyone cheered.
I smiled at my friends.
"You guys are amazing" I said, making them stand up to hug me.
