Open Up Your Eyes
A misc. One-shot
By Love Induced Insomnia
Character Of Choice: Joss: An inverted, hostile fifteen-year-old with medium length brown hair and tan skin. Five feet, seven inches in height with a small waist and fleshy thighs. (A/N: No im not a perv. Or am I? :P)
Summary:There was nothing more simple than what I was doing: I was dancing with a boy I liked at a party where I knew nobody besides myself-simple as that. There were no reasons, no explanations, no rules.
The music flowed through my body like electricity; a rhythm my heart could beat to. It was something else from the moment they dimmed the lights and played the first track.
A never ending dream of love…Dance with me…..
I could see the other dancers, dressed in flashy but simple clothes, and I felt out of place. All those bright neon colors made my gray shirt feel like crap.
She doesn't get enough…..
I was scared; id never been to a rave before. Actually, id never been to a dance, or even a party. I stayed in my room most of the time, like the good girls did, even though what I was doing in there was far from good.
Its time to take me away….
The music didn't bother me like Eli said it would….I liked it. It was contagious. It was….lethal. She probably only said that to make me go with her to that stupid rock concert she wanted to go to.
I don't think there's enough pose…
I drank up the music and it felt almost like getting drunk. I remembered being younger and seeing my brother come back from raves, and wondering what could have made him grin like that. I swore one day id find out for myself.
They'll never take my shooting star…
When I finally walked us to the dancing crowd, there was something wrong with Jasen's eyes. He had this faraway look in them, and I don't think it was because of the way I was grinding on him.
Only one place you can make your dreams come true….can you feel it?
Within minutes the music had engulfed me entirely, and I didn't fight against it. I let it drown me in the sounds and chain me down with the words. It was almost like committing suicide.
She died from an overdose…
I had to be dreaming. I just had to. There was no way I would have done this if I were awake. No way I would have sneaked myself out the window to meet a boy, no way I would actually be dancing like this.
Feel my sound..
The music crashed against me in a staggering way…in a good way. I couldn't remember the last time I had felt like this. I wanted to laugh and cry at the same time.
Open up your eyes…tell me what do you see?
There was nothing more simple than what I was doing: I was dancing with a boy I liked at a party where I knew nobody besides myself-simple as that. There were no reasons, no explanations, no rules.
Forget your name…
I was untouchable. I didn't need anything else besides the music: I didn't need my lies, my parents, my name. I didn't need air to breathe….i only needed the electricity to keep my heart pumping.
Forget the world….
Eli's voice disappeared, the constantly nagging voice begging me to go out somewhere. I was out, and I never wanted to go back in.
Forget the people….
Everybody else was just background colors. Today was my spotlight, a day I didn't have to compare myself to anybody. It was just me and the music. Even Jasen seemed unimportant and faded. Nobody was gonna bring me down from this high.
Now go insane
I envisioned myself then: half crazed, dancing my way into eternity.
