New story YAY:D
Eli paced back and forth throughout his large room. A page of sheet music was in one hand while his other was tugging at his long, dark brown hair. It had been a month since he was able to write a new song, and in Eli's world that was not a very good thing. Frustration was slowly beginning to show as he desperately threw himself onto his bed. His band, Sing Of The Dark, had become famous for their insightful lyrics, and punk rock style. He couldn't have been any happier with his band mates, his best friends, the ones who were there for him the entire time, even when his thoughts of Julia would overtake him. The band consisted of Jake, the guitarist, Adam, the bassist, Drew, the drummer, and Eli, the singer.
Most guys would be thrilled to be in Eli's position, an endless supply of girls and money, but he could care less. Music was his copping mechanism, his addiction. After Julia cheated on him, Eli was a mess, and that's when the band formed. This was the only way the guys could think of that would snap Eli out of his depression. The next album was set to come out within the next couple of months, and only two of the required ten songs had actually been written, and Eli wanted to finish this one tonight before Jake's friend got to the house. Jake wouldn't go into detail, but just told the others that it was a girl who he was childhood friends with. The only other thing Eli knew about her was that she had wrote one of his favorite books, though he would never admit it. From her book, it seemed as if she was as broken as he was, and for some reason he wanted to get to know her. All to soon the doorbell rang, and Eli let out a frustrated groan while throwing the sheet music on the ground.
"ELI GET YOUR ASS DOWN HERE!" Jake called from the first story.
"COOL YOUR BONER, I'M COMING," Eli yelled back. He quickly changed into his black skinny jeans, black t-shirt, and black blazer before sprinting down the stairs. His forest green eyes were soon being connected to a pair that seemed to replicate the ocean.
"Took you long enough," Jake muttered under his breath, "Eli Goldsworthy this is Clare Edwards, and Clare Edwards this is Eli Goldsworthy".
"It's a pleasure to meet you," Eli replied with a smirk, his signature. He noticed a slight blush rise onto her pale cheeks, but he didn't read that much into it. Her cinnamon curls slightly covered her face as she looked up and said "likewise Mr. Goldsworthy," adding in a smirk of her own. For the next few hours the band, and Clare talked about anything and everything, well until Jake brought up her book.
"So Clare how are sales on your book going?"
"They're good, I've gotten some amazing reviews, and even the New York Times has been discussing about putting on their must read list," she replied with a small smile.
"Well, I happen to know for a fact that Eli over here is practically in love with your book," Adam added with a pointed look in Eli's direction. Eli slightly choked on his water, and sent a glare Adam's way while Drew just chuckled at his expense.
"Oh don't give me that look Mr. Goth. I've caught you re-reading her book several times, and normally once you read a book you never touch it again."
"Well I'm glad that someone enjoys my book," she chuckled. Not too much longer Clare had to go, and she gave each boy a hug. For some odd reason she felt like she had known them her whole life. After she left Adam looked towards Eli's awestruck face, and slightly grinned.
"Looks like someone is over Julia. I guess you can finally breathe again." Suddenly Eli had an idea for his long awaited song. He ran up the stairs, skipping a step here and there, ran into his room grabbed his acustic gutair, and began to play.
Catching my breath
You had a hold on me
Not much left
All just a memory
You left me high and dry
Eli remembered seeing Julia kiss his best friend Fitz. To say he was pissed would be an understatement. Julia and him had been going out for over three years, he had given his heart and soul to her, and she just ripped it out and smashed it.
No, I can't breathe underwater, babe So what now?
You're killing me
Your dirty little games are telling me
I'm dying for you
(Dying for you)
But then he pictured Clare's sweet, innocent face, and couldn't help but smile. He didn't understand it, he barely knew her yet it felt like they were already good friends
I wanna breathe now
I can live again
Scream out loud every now and then
Go and get back everything
You took from me
I wanna get back friends I used to know
Stay out late at the killer show
Ridin' downtown like we used to do
And just be me
Tears pricked his eyes, as he remembered how he acted after the incident. He lost himself, and he missed his friends. From this point on he vowed to change back to who he used to be.
I wanna breathe, I wanna be So what now? I wanna breathe now I wanna breathe, I wanna be Don't you come 'round here no more So what now? I wanna breathe now I wanna breathe now
I wanna sing, I wanna believe
All the things I can do
There's life after you
(There's life after you)
Letting go
Now the worst is over
You should know I'm okay
I'm so moving on
I'm so over you
(So what now?)
I can live again
Scream out loud every now and then
Go and get back everything
You took from me
I wanna get back friends I used to know
Stay out late at the killer show
Ridin' downtown like we used to do
And just be me
I wanna sing, I wanna believe
All the things I can do
There's life after you
I feel more like me without you
With you
... is so wrong
I got to be moving on
I can live again
Scream out loud every now and then
Go and get back everything
You took from me
I wanna get back friends I used to know
Stay out late at the killer show
Ridin' downtown like we used to do
And just be me
I can live again
Scream out loud every now and then
Go and get back everything
You took from me
I wanna breathe, I wanna be
I wanna sing, I wanna believe
All the things I can do
There's life after you
There's life after you
There's life after you
So, should I continue? review:D
