Concert…

Josh wakes up; gets dressed then walks up to Ryann and Amy's cabin/dorm. He wakes Amy up first since with Ryann, she at times sleeps or just to make sure there's no cuts on her arm. Amy gets up walks towards the showers and takes one. Then Josh walks over to Ryann's bed and pokes her. Surpassingly there wasn't any reflexes to him. All he heard was "Hey quit it." Josh pokes her again this time Ryann waking up grabbing his wrist. "Hey rise and shine." He says smiling. "Mornin." Ryann replying tiredly. She then gets up and gets dressed. Then they leave and head for the mess hall.

"Babe, have you heard from Chester?" Josh looks over at Ryann. "Yeah I have. He called right after you left lastnight. And well, he's coming here to hear your songs by you." Ryann couldn't believe it. "What time am I performing?" she wondered to her self. Josh looks over and smiles. Ryann, I know your songs. And you know them too."(A/N: I'm using the songs from Linkin Park Metora) "Josh, if I sing these written out songs, it's like I'm telling everyone my problems. Especially Peter AKA Terrorist." Josh sighs as she talked. Amy then looks over. "Ryann look at your self. Josh doing his best just to keep you alive. But think, if you give up, people would think you're a coward." Ryann looks over at Amy, then at Josh. "Yeah I guess both of you are right. I mean I must be over-reacting from all what's going on." Josh and Amy just nod as the three of them walk into the mess hall.

Ryann goes into the line and gets her food. Auggie looks over at Ryann. "Hey Spike (A/N: Spike is Ryann's gang nickname for her), is something bugging you?" he asks seeing Ryann's mind in thought. "No Auggie, everything is alright. I'm just not hungry at the moment." She replies back to Auggie as she pokes at her food. Julia then walks up to Josh. "Eww you look cute today hottie." Sighing Josh says "Go away twig." He says annoyed. "Go bug Zell and see what he would do." Jewels covers her mouth. "Eww!!! He's ugly!!" Ryann scoots over closer to Josh wrapping her arms around him. "Mine!" Jewels then walks off.

Ryann finishes eating although she didn't eat much. Peter walks over to Ryann. "Ryann, how come you didn't eat part of your breakfast?" Mr.Peter Scarbrow asked. Ryann looks up at him. "American food is disgusting! It's like poison entering my own mouth!! Why do you want to know" Peter cuts her off. "You need to eat still. I looked on your report from a few weeks ago. You're not at your weight limit for your age. Now why is that?" Ryann crosses her arms, then replies in a smart butt answer "Why? You should know why from the files of me." She then walks off to her dorm.

Sighing Ryann decides to just wonder into the forest instead of her dorm. She really missed the gang. Peter, Justin, along with the others. She walks along a path. While walking Ryann thought she's hearing footsteps coming up behind her. Ryann turns around seeing Zell behind her.

"Why are you following me you psycho?" she asks. Zell looks at her smiling. "Look, I have a concert to do tonight. And I do not need someone like you following me wherever I go." Zell walks over closer to Ryann barely even touching her lips. "No one is here to protect you now." He says placing his hands on her shoulders. Ryann backs away from him. "Get away from me you perverted psycho who wants to get rid of his virginity!"

Ryann then walks off trying to get out of the woods. Zell then grabs her arm. "Let me go!" she says as she's jerking her arm back. "I will let go if you do something for me." Zell says loosing his grip. Right when he loosens his grip, Ryann takes off running around for Josh or anyone.

Josh could not believe what Ryann has done. "What's the deal with her? She's normally not like this." He thought to him self. While he was walking he someone run out of the woods. "She looks fromliar" he thought to him self-seeing her running towards him. As she got a bit closer, Josh then realized it's Ryann. He then starts running towards her, wrapping his arms around Ryann holding her tightly.

"What happened to you! Why is there a bruise forming around your arm?" Ryann looks down seeing a bruise forming. "Zell, he tried to rape me! He wouldn't let me go!" she said as the dark haired teen comes down into tears as Josh wraps his arms around her. "Ohh I'm going to so kill him! I told him too not to touch you and look what he does!"

After a while Josh and Ryann walk into the rec.-room. "So are you ready for your nights concert yet?" he asks as they prepare for Ryann's concert to the Horizon and to Linkin Park. Ryann nods, "Yeah, hopefully it won't be too horrible.

Concert time

Everyone walks to the rec.-room along with Linkin Park the band. Mr.Scarbrow then walks in. The music starts as Josh begins to play his guitar as the music begins. Ryann then begins to sing.

Don't Stay..

Sometimes I
Need to remember just to breathe
Sometimes I

Need you to stay away from me
Somehow I
Need you to go

Don't stay
Forget our memories
Forget our possibilities
What you were changing me into
Just give me myself back and
Don't stay

Sometimes I
Feel like I trusted you to well.
Sometimes I
Just feel like screaming at my self
Sometimes I'm
In disbelief I didn't know
Somehow I
Need to be alone

Don't stay
Forget our memories
Forget out possibilities
What you were changing me into
Just give me myself back and
Don't stay
Forget our memories
Forget our possibilities
Take all your faithfulness with you
Just give me myself back and
Don't stay

Josh then sings"
I don't need you anymore
I don't want to be ignored
I don't need one more day
Of you wasting me away

With no apologies."

Everyone applauded as Chester walks up the stage whispering something into Ryann's ear. Peter standing in the doorway wondering if this is what Ryann has wanted to say. Chester walks down the stage.

The night goes on everyone enjoying this concert. Ryann catches her breath as Josh plays his guitar lightly. Ryann then says "This next song is for anyone who feels out of place. Never knowing when to stay somewhere or not. Or feeling their un-noticed. So here it is.

The band Linkin Park walks up the stage knowing the song beat. Music then starts. Ryann then starts to sing again.

"Easier to Run.."

It's easier to run
Replacing this pain with something numb
It's so much easier to go
Than face all this pain here all alone

Something has been taken

From deep inside of me

A secret I've kept locked away

No one can ever see

Wounds so deep they never show

They never go away
Like moving pictures in my head
For years and years they've played.

Josh then raps to"
"If I could change I would
Take back the pain I would
Retrace every wrong move that I made I would
If I could

Stand up and take the blame I would

If I could take all the shame to the grave I would"

Sometimes I remember
the darkness of my past

Bringing back these memories
I wish I didn't have
Sometimes I think of letting go

And never looking back
And never forward so

There never would be a past

It's easier to run

Replacing this pain with something numb
It's so much easier to go
Than face all this pain here all alone.

Chester then adds in "
Just washing it aside
All of the helplessness inside
Pretending I don't feel misplaced

Is so much similar then change!"

Everyone then starts to sing"
It's easier to run

Replacing this pain with something numb
It's so much easier to go

Than face it all alone."

The concert then ends as everyone quiets down by Mr.Scarbrow walking up the stage instructing for everyone to go to his or her dorms/cabins except for Ryann and Josh. Once everyone leaves the room, Peter turns to Ryann and Josh. "Ryann I never knew you wrote your pain out like this. Even when I tried to council you to have you speak your problems as to why you came here." Peter then turns over to Josh. "Joshua I would say the same thing to you. But since it's getting late then you two should hit the hay, in other words bed." Ryann and Josh leave the place as Chester, Mike, and everyone else in the band follow out behind Josh and Ryann.

"Hey Spike the songs you wrote for us are awesome." Chester says as he and the band get into the van with the others.

The two teens split up going their own way to their dorm/cabins.
