Summary: When high school started after Xemnas' defeat, Xedrin finds himself falling for a mixed (half black, half white) girl named Whitney. But since he's way too nervous to tell her in person, he planned a concert at the school. He and his friends Axel, Demyx, and Zexion are the band, and everyone in the school is invited. Roughly based on life experiences.
Chapter I
"Buried Alive By Love"
Xedrin stood behind the stage curtain, dressed in his Organization cloak, in front of a microphone. Behind him, Demyx was eagerly tuning his practically-brand-new guitar (think the sitar, only a lot smaller), Axel was testing a few tunes on his bass (same shape), and Zexion was "walking" a drum stick through his fingers. It was hard to tell, but Axel and Zexion were as excited about their concert that night as Xedrin and Demyx were. But they were also a bit nervous: it had taken them forever to get the songs they intended to play that night memorized to the point where they could play them without making even the slightest mistake. Well, the three instrument players worried about their performance, Xedrin was busy looking at the pendant he made for all of them, thoughts of his beloved running through his mind. When tickets started going on sale, he was afraid that she would either forget to buy them, or shrug it off as something stupid and not worth her time. He was surprised when she was the first one to buy a ticket. His thoughts were interrupted by the show manager walking through to make last-minute inspections, to make sure nothing would go wrong.
"Okay, everything seems to be in working order," he looked over the four teens, "You guys ready? This show's gonna be big."
Xedrin replied with a grin and a thumbs-up.
"Alright then, good luck out there. Drive 'em wild!"
And then, slowly, the curtains began to pull back, revealing the crowd of people that flocked to see them perform. Xedrin smiled as he looked down on them, and he soon spotted the object of his affections: a girl he met at the beginning of the year, named Whitney. She quickly became friends with him, and also befriended the rest of his friendly group. Tonight, he decided, would be the night he told her his feelings. He drew in a deep breath as his friends began to play.
"Again the burden of losing rests upon my shoulders
And its weight seems unbearable
Your tomb is where your heart is,
I should have told her
But within me hid a secret so terrible
To cry is to know that you're alive
But my river of tears has run dry
I never wanted to fool you, no
But a cold heart is a dead heart
And it feels like I've been buried alive by love
If I should die before I wake,
Pray no one my soul to take
And if I wake before I die,
Rescue me with your smile
If I should die before I wake,
There ain't no one my soul to take
And if I wake before I die,
Rescue me with your smile
The kiss of vanity blessed me with a spiritual murder
And fed the gods of war insatiable
Your home is where the dark is,
I should have told her
Embrace the fire indestructible
To die is to know that you're alive
And my river of blood won't run dry
I never wanted to lose you, no
But a cold heart is a dead heart
And it feels like I've been buried alive by love
If I should die before I wake,
Pray no one my soul to take
And if I wake before I die,
Rescue me with your smile
If I should die before I wake,
There ain't no one my soul to take
And if I wake before I die,
Rescue me with your smile
And they say to cry is to know that you're alive
But my river of tears has run dry
I never wanted to fool you, no
But a cold heart is a dead heart
A deserted soul is gone
A cold heart is a dead heart
And it feels like I've been buried alive by love
If I should die before I wake,
There ain't no one my soul to take
And if I wake before I die,
Rescue me with your smile
If I should die before I wake,
Pray no one my soul to take
And if I wake before I die,
Rescue me with your smile
I've been buried alive by love
I've been buried alive by love
I've been buried alive by love
I've been buried alive by love
I've been buried alive by love
I've been buried alive by love"
Xedrin took a look around at the cheering crowd, a smile plastered on his face. His eyes remained only on Whitney, though, for she was the one he intended to impress.
It would seem kind of stupid if I wrote the lyrics the way I normally write them, so I did it a little differently this time. Actually, I think this is an interesting turnaround, since I would only write adventurous fics any other time. R&R, if you please.
