Realization
I sat there...
Two of my friends were drinking...illegally but we were still friends and it didn't matter anyway.
We were sitting in a Karoke bar, One of the busiest in Boston, and the most difficult to get in, especially being under age by so many years, I was only 17, turning 18 in a couple of months. While Kathy was 18 already she looked way older, she could pass as a women in her early 20's, we all could that's why it was so easy to get into drinking clubs and bars. Then there was Lisa who was the sheep of the group, sheeping Jenny...heh...I can remember the day when Jen went to her boyfriends house to have 'Alone' time with him, and how lisa had followed her there, sneaking behind her in the few trees around.
Lisa was a much bigger build then the rest of us, wore glasses, and was the shortest out of all of us. Jen was the complete opposite, which is why I think Lisa is such a sheep of Her, Jen's is one of the smallest build and most fragile looking girl I've ever meet. She's not as weak as you'd think on a first impression though.
"Here we go peoples..." Kathy announced through a cigarette, while holding two glasses of liquor.
Jen Reached over the small circular table and took the second glass and placed it in front of her, and poshly sipped it.
"Why do you smoke Kath?" I asked coughing slightly, my eyes squinted.
Kathy just shrugged "I dunno..." she mumbled breathing out a cloud of smoke.
"It's rotting your lungs with every puff," I said knowledgeably
Kathy rolled her eyes, She knew how my voice changed when I knew what I was talking about, and knew I was right.
Jen nudged me, almost making me fall off the tall stool that we sat on around the table...
"Owe!" I yelped, giving Jen a death glare.
"Oh..." she said, shivering fakely "I'm shakin' in my high heels!" Jen chuckled
"Haha very funny!" I said sarcastically to her.
"Why don't ya sing-a-song?" Jen questioned
"YEH!" Lisa promptly yelled after Her.
"I'm no good..." I said crossing my arms.
"Comon' Grumpy!" Jen said sliding off the tall stool grabbing my arm.
"Noooo" I pleaded.
Then the announcer came to the microphone and said over the speakers "Ok Partiers! WHOS' NEXT?"
"OVER HERE" Kathy, Jen and Lisa yelled, pointing to me, while I was trying to pull away from their grip.
"Comon UP Then, Girly!" The man at the microphone insisted.
Kathy and Jen Dragged me to the stage stairs, followed promptly by Lisa who was pushing me along too...
"No no no no no" I kept pleading, but to no avail, I was at the stairs. "FINE!" I yelled to my friends angrily, yet I still liked them as friends, this was the time they always embarrassed me and I HATED it.
Slowly a carefully I walked up the stairs, Strolling casually towards the DJ "My immortal by Evanescence" I whispered.
The DJ nodded and waited for me to walk into the spotlight, which I promptly did.
I held the microphone; my eyes closed my hands shaking softly. I had practised this song so many times infront of the mirror and I loved it.
The soft piano music started, and I took a deep breath, and began singing....
I'm so tired of being here
Suppressed by all of my childish fears
And if you have to leave
I wish that you would just leave
Because your presence still lingers here
And it won't leave me alone
These wounds won't seem to heal
This pain is just too real
There's just too much that time cannot erase
When you cried I'd wipe away all of your tears
When you'd scream I'd fight away all of your fears
And I've held your hand through all of these years
But you still have all of me
You used to captivate me
By you're resonating light
But now I'm bound by the life you left behind
Your face it haunts my once pleasant dreams
Your voice it chased away all the sanity in me
These wounds won't seem to heal
This pain is just too real
There's just too much that time cannot erase
When you cried I'd wipe away all of your tears
When you'd scream I'd fight away all of your fears
And I've held your hand through all of these years
But you still have all of me
I've tried so hard to tell myself that you're gone
And though you're still with me
I've been alone all along …
Slowly I opened my eyes as the song ended... I gasped fearfully at the sight that caught my eyes. Everyone was seemingly asleep...or was it unconsciousness, not even... She swung around and found the DJ Slumped on the floor as the base music repeated itself over and over again. I stood shocked, stiff as a statue; I looked to the table my friends were at. They too were slumped on their chairs.
THUD!
I jumped and looked beside me where the thud came from; a man lay on the ground, motionless. I couldn't breathe, I suddenly realised something, tears swelled up in my eyes I slumped to the ground crying, tears flowing freely, I think I killed all of them.... Because.... I was...NO! I couldn't admit it, yet I knew it was true...
The faint sound of police and ambulance sirens rang out through the town, I heard them...they'd take me away...probably kill me.... No I couldn't let that happen....
Slowly I helped myself up tears still flowing down my now pale cheeks.
I heard a loud gasp come from the Entrance, looking up I couldn't make it out, my vision as blurring and only a tiny bit of light shone from the dawn outside into the dark bar...
"MUTIE!" The women yelled pointing towards me "YOU MURDER!"; there was such hatred and fear through her voice. It made be cry more, I started to shake but I heard the sirens come closer and closer, the faint lights of the red a blue sirens flashing.
With my last ounce of strength and fled...running through the fire exit which, for now wasn't surrounded by the police....
