It was a boring day at Sebastian and Jim's flat. Jim was blasting his music from his room loud enough for Sebastian to hear from the kitchen. He could also hear Jim singing along. He was relieved when Bohemian Rhapsody ended. Then, the song Hold On by Chord Overstreet started. Sebastian started singing along because it was one of his favorite songs.
"Loving and fighting
Accusing, denying
I can't imagine a world with you gone
The joy and the chaos, the demons we're made of
I'd be so lost if you left me alone."
'Sort of like me and Jim,' he thought.
"You locked yourself in the bathroom
Lying on the floor when I break through
I pull you in to feel your heartbeat
Can you hear me screaming "please don't leave me"."
'I would die before letting that happen,' he told himself internally.
"Hold on, I still want you
Come back, I still need you
Let me take your hand, I'll make it right
I swear to love you all my life
Hold on, I still need you
A long endless highway, you're silent beside me
Drivin' a nightmare I can't escape from
Helplessly praying, the light isn't fadin'
Hiding in the shock and the chill in my bones
They took you away on a table."
'I'd never let them take him.'
"I pace back and forth as you lay still
I pull you in to feel your heartbeat
Can you hear me screaming, "please don't leave me"."
'Never leave me.'
"Hold on, I still want you
Come back, I still need you
Let me take your hand, I'll make it right
I swear to love you all my life."
'I...I do swear if you'll let me.'
"Hold on, I still need you."
'I'll always need you.'
"I don't wanna let go."
'So I won't.'
"I know I'm not that strong."
'It's true.'
"I just wanna hear you
Saying baby, let's go home."
'Sure.'
"Let's go home."
'Home.'
"Yeah, I just wanna take you home.
Hold on, I still want you,"
"I'll alway's want you.'
"Come back, I still need you."
'Always come back. I've had too many people leave for you to leave too. I'll never stop needing you.'
As the final note played, a voice came from the kitchen doorway, "Wow Tiger, I never knew you could sing and be that deep in thought at the same time."
Sebastian looked up at him,trying not to look surprized.
"It's a habit," he said.
"A habit?" Jim asked.
"Forgetting that I'm singing but continuing to do it," Sebastian specified.
Jim nodded.
"How did you know that song? It's not really popular."
Sebastian shrugged, "I realated to it a bit when I got kicked out of the army. It's also one of the songs that I learned when I played the piano and guitar."
"You played the piano and guitar?" Jim asked.
"Yep," the sniper responded.
Jim stood and left the room. Sebastian wasn't surprized, it happened all the time, but he was surprized when he came back with his guitar case.
It was usually in his closet behind all of his clothes.
Jim handed it to him and said, "Play something."
Sebastian sighed and took it out, quickly tuning it.
"What do you wanna hear boss?" he asked.
Jim shrugged.
Sebastian started playing the first thing that came to his mind, One Call Away by Charlie Puth.
He sang along with it so Jim actually knew the song.
"I'm only one call away
I'll be there to save the day
Superman got nothing on me
I'm only one call away."
Sebastian glanced up from the strings and saw Jim's face lighting up as he listened intently.
"Call me, baby, if you need a friend
I just wanna give you love
Come on, come on, come on
Reaching out to you, so take a chance
No matter where you go
You know you're not alone
I'm only one call away
I'll be there to save the day
Superman got nothing on me
I'm only one call away
Come along with me and don't be scared
I just wanna set you free
Come on, come on, come one
You and me can make it anywhere
For now, we can stay here for a while, ay
'Cause you know, I just wanna see you smile
No matter where you go
You know you're not alone
I'm only one call away
I'll be there to save the day
Superman got nothing on me
I'm only one call away
And when you're weak I'll be strong
I'm gonna keep holding on
Now don't you worry, it won't be long, Darling
And when you feel like hope is gone
Just run into my arms
I'm only one call away
I'll be there to save the day
Superman got nothing on me
I'm only one, I'm only one call away
I'll be there to save the day
Superman got nothing on me
I'm only one call away
I'm only one call away."
"Wow," Jim muttered,"You'll have to play more around here Tiger because you're really good."
"Maybe I will. Just good to know someone apreciates it," Sebastian said.
"Who doesn't apreciate it?" Jim asked.
"My parents, my sister, my old professors. Said it distraced me too much from my studies. They let my siter play but she was jelous because I was three levels higher than her and played another instrument. My parents hought it was girly and stupid," Seb said, shrugging.
"Well it's not."
Sorry I don't really know how to end this chapter :)
