I love this show so I'd thought I'd give this a shot. Hope you like it!
MADDY
The next pilgrimage was coming tomorrow, and Terra Nova was busying itself for the new additions
. Mom was busy at the clinic till late to get the right gear and medicine to take up to the portal. Dad was finalizing plans with Commander Taylor and wouldn't be home till late. Zoey was sleeping over at a friend's. Josh and his pals were planning some all-night movie marathon.
This meant me alone in the house.
"Finally," I sighed, pleased I finally had some alone time.
I walked into my room and sat, crossed legged on my bed. My data pad gleamed before me as I slipped in one earphone and opened the file.
Okay, okay, it was more like an app but I honestly don't care what you prefer to call it- it's a file to me.
The screen popped up with the screen being split horizontal. The bottom half was a section devoted to any instrument I pleased. The top was to record and check the pitch and tune of my singing.
"Well," I cooed, rubbing my hands together. "Here goes nothing."
See, my family has always been what you call 'Musically Gifted'. We just seem to all have pretty voices, can easily keep with the rhythm (dancing or singing) and are able to figure out instruments pretty easy.
But I was too shy to show my parents my songs. I knew they wouldn't like them as much as Josh's or Zoey's fun songs. I knew it was better for them to think I didn't sing and never wanted to or could.
I want to, but I can't.
I pulled up the keys to a piano and clicked the record button- winging it.
(How To Save a Life- The Fray)
"Step one you say we need to talk
He walks you say sit down it's just a talk
He smiles politely back at you
You stare politely right on through
Some sort of window to your right
As he goes left and you stay right
Between the lines of fear and blame
You begin to wonder why you came
CHORUS:
Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life
Let him know that you know best
Cause after all you do know best
Try to slip past his defense
Without granting innocence
Lay down a list of what is wrong
The things you've told him all along
And pray to God he hears you
And pray to God he hears you
CHORUS:
Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life
As he begins to raise his voice
You lower yours and grant him one last choice
Drive until you lose the road
Or break with the ones you've followed
He will do one of two things
He will admit to everything
Or he'll say he's just not the same
And you'll begin to wonder why you came
CHORUS:
Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life
CHORUS:
Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life
How to save a life
How to save a life
CHORUS:
Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life
CHORUS:
Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life
How to save a life
How to save a life
How to save a life"
I closed my mouth and hit the 'Stop' button and sighed- That was horrible.
A/N: Sorry its so short! But I've decided that this story is going to have a point of view per chapter. But, what I've learned is that if you review, chapters get up faster :)
