Ok so I had this story laying about in MY Documents for years and had this story posted some where else. That site is now offline, so I was thinking why not post it here on Fan Fiction? For those who know my work and me I usually post my stories by Chapters and depending what I have done will post sometimes in bunches.
Updates will be sporadic.
Disclaimer: Don't own anything Band/song related. I do own however the poems, Lexi Finn/Avid Writer, the Finn Family, and any other original Characters you may see.
A young girl sits at a desk
In the distance, a band starts playing
She pulls out a pencil and some paper
As the band plays, she writes
She writes a life story
About a young man and his friends
In the distance, the band breaks into song
The girl just simply disappears into her thoughts
No body around her knows
Knows what she is thinking
Knows what she is writing about
She is writing too fast
The song in the distance slows down
And the girl stops writing as the bell rings
She puts her pencil down
She heads for the classroom door
No body sees her leave
She just disappears
The TV was on in the tour bus after the band had finished their concert. The band's name was Simple Plan. The band included Pierre Bouvier, Sébastien Lefebvre, David Desrosiers, Jeff Stinco, and Chuck Comeau. They had been together as a band for a while and they considered themselves brothers.
The news was on right now and only one of the five boys was paying attention to what the reporter was talking about.
Reporter:
Today at a local high school in New Hope, PA, a student was reported missing earlier this afternoon. Liz Hopewell has more on the story.
Liz Hopewell:
Thanks Patrick. Teachers told the police that, 16 year old Lexi Finn who likes to go by Finn, arrived at school this morning with everyone else. A teacher who had seen the student during an early bell, told police that she looked unsure of herself and panicky. The police had this to say.
Officer:
We are looking into the disappearance of the student. A witness who saw the student some time between 10 and 11 am this morning said that the student looked unsure of herself and panicky. The same witness, who is a teacher at the school, saw her in his English/writing class around noon.
Liz Hopewell:
The officer wouldn't give reporters any more information, except that the student disappeared around the same time, Simple Plan's afternoon concert ended. Back, to you, Patrick.
Pierre Bouvier who had been watching the newscast, looked stunned. His friends, who hadn't been paying attention to the news when it first came on, had turned their attention to it after hearing the beginning of the report.
The bus had fallen dead silent. No body spoke nor did anyone move. They were too shocked to notice that their manager came aboard the bus, breaking the silence.
He knew about the news report. He knew about the missing student. He needed to speak with the boys about this.
"Boys, the student's parents hired a private investigator to look for their missing daughter. You boys have nothing to worry about" their manager said.
The broken silence helped the boys. Pierre shook his head to clear his head. David was the first to speak up.
"What exactly happened?" David wanted to know.
The other boys nodded in agreement.
Their manager sighed.
"According to the English teacher, she was writing a poem. He said she was listening to music. The last thing that was being played on her iPod, was one of your songs, Welcome to My Life, anyway, the teacher went on, he said that she wasn't paying attention to what she was actually writing. She was just writing about your life story, lost in her own thoughts apparently," the manager said.
The boys glad that the student was a fan.
Their manager went on, "The teacher didn't see her leave the classroom. And nobody saw her leave the school" the manager said.
"Maybe we will find her while we are on tour" Jeff said as the bus began to pull away from the venue.
"The police are one step ahead of you Jeff. You see boys, the police and the private investigator asked us to keep an eye out for her" the manager said with a smile.
Their next concert wasn't for another couple of days, which was located in Chicago. Simple Plan was meeting up with another band that would be with them for the rest of their two year long tour.
Little did Simple Plan know, that the missing student would play an important part in their lives along the way.
