Changing
Chapter 4: At the Bar
Will was sitting on her couch sipping her black coffee at five o'clock in the morning. She couldn't sleep because she couldn't get the thought of Matt out of her mind. Ever since she had seen him the night before, she kept on thinking how much he had changed.
"You're delusional you know that?" Will said to herself as she drank the last bit of her coffee. She slowly got off the couch and made her way to the Kitchen. When she entered it, she put her mug in the sink and went to the bathroom so she could take a bath.
As she entered the bathroom she took off her clothes and stepped into the cold water. Once she was cleaned and dried she put on her underwear and got out to her room to dress in her work clothes. She quickly got dressed in a pair of faded jeans and a green shirt that read 'Joe's Diner' in black letters on her right breast.
After, she put on her white sneakers and put her hair in a messy pony tail. When she saw that it was nearing six o'clock she grabbed her bag from her bed and left the house. As she arrived at her work she parked her car outside the diner and got inside it to find Joe, her manager, wiping the counter.
"Morning Will. You're here early" she said once she saw Will coming inside
"Yeah, couldn't sleep so I decided to come here early" Will replied with a small smile as she put on her apron, grabbed her notepad and pen and went to take the order of a couple that just walked in. The rest of the day went by fast for Will and for that she was thankful. At three o'clock she got off work and retired back home. Will entered her apartment and went straight to the couch where she plopped down next to Marley and watched some TV. After some time Marley started barking and crying so she grabbed his leash, put it on him and went for a walk.
When she felt tired and saw that the dog was happy she decided to go to the beach and play with him there. As she arrived she saw that there where only a few people there. Will quickly took off the leash and threw the ball a few feet away and laughed when she saw how much Marley ran for it. She spent two hours there playing with the dog and watching people swim until it was getting late for work so she lifted the dog and walked back to her pent house.
Once she was inside she got another shower and got dressed in a pair of dark jeans shorts and a black tank top and for her feet she wore black flip flops. Will quickly brushed her hair and then put it in a messy pony tail like she always did. For make up she only put on some dark eye liner. When she saw that she was ready and it was nearing six o'clock she grabbed her bag and left the house for work. She didn't take the car because it was just a few minute walk to the bar she worked at.
As she arrived Will walked in and saw that the place was already packed with people and it wasn't even six yet. Will walked over to the counter and put her bag on the cupboard. She was about to go and talk to some of her friends when she saw Adam entering the bar. Will quickly made her way over to him and gave him a kiss on the cheek.
"Hello boyfriend" she said with a small smile.
"Hello girlfriend. You're gonna sing tonight right?" he asked her as they sat down on a table.
"Yeah, there's something I have to tell you" she said.
"What is it?" he asked her.
"My ex boyfriend is coming over here so he can meet you" said Will.
"Oh okay, fine with me Shelia" he said with a shrug of his shoulders.
"For real?" she asked him when she saw that he wasn't making a big deal out of it.
"Yeah and because my ex wife is coming here" Adam said as he avoided her gaze.
"What!? Oh come on Adam, you know we don't get along" Will said as she glared at him.
"Will I said nothing about your ex coming over. Now I aspect you to do the same thing" he said
"Fine but I ain't being nice to her. If she says some witty comment I'm talking right back to her" Will whispered when she saw her coming. She had long blonde hair, dark blue eyes and a perfect figure. Even tough she had a child she still looked like a teenager and for that Will was jealous of her but never admitted it.
"Hello Adam. Nice seeing you again" she said as she gave him a kiss on the cheek causing Will to give her a dirty look "Will" she said plainly as she looked somewhere else.
"Kim" Will said with a glare. Kim was about to say something but was cut off when Matt entered the bar and Will stood up and waved to Matt in Kim's face. "Oh sorry Kim. Didn't see you there" Will said with a smirk. When Matt came over to them he looked strangely at Kim who was sending daggers at Will and gave Will a small smile which she returned.
"Matt this is my boyfriend Adam. Adam this is Matt" she said as she introduced them
"Nice meeting you mate. Will has told me much about you in these past few years" Adam said as he stood up and shook Matt's hand
"Same here. What she say about me?" he said as he looked at Will with a huge grin.
"She told me that you have a band. You are the lead singer, you're grandfather owns a pet shop and you gave her Marley" Adam said
"Yeah that about sums it up" he said. Kim was getting fed up of being ignored (to Will's pleasure) so she went in between Adam and Matt and extended her hand to Matt
"Hello. I'm Kimberly but you can just call me Kim. I'm Adam's ex" she said with a smile as Matt shook her hand
"Nice meeting you" Matt said. Will was about to say something but someone interrupted them
"Sorry guys but Will has to go up and sing" said the owner of the bar
"Okay. Be right back" Will said as she got up on stage, grabbed her spare guitar which she kept here and sat down on the stool. "Hello guys. Hope you're enjoying your time here. As usual if you like the song, pay up in that jar over there and if you hate it tell me. This song is called 'Too much to ask' and is dedicated to an old friend. I wrote it a few years back. Hope you like it" Will said through the mic as she started to play her guitar and sing. (Avril Lavigne – Too much to ask)
It's
the first time I've ever felt this lonely, I thought you were cool
until the point, Every time I try to make you
smile, Thought
you'd come around when I ignored you, Can't
you see that you lie to yourself? But every time I try to make you smile, Yeah-eya yeah-eya Can't
find where I am, lying here alone in fear, YEAH-EYA EYA EYA Can't you see
that you lie to yourself? Every time I try to make you smile,
Wish someone cure this
pain
It's funny when you think it's gonna work out
Till you
chose weed over me you're so lame
Up until the point you didn't call me when you
said you would
Finally figured out you're all the same,
Always
coming up with some kind of story
You're always feeling sorry for yourself
Every time I
try to make you laugh,
You can't your too tough
You think
you're loveless
Is that too much that I'm askin for?
Sorta thought you'd have
the decency to change
But babe I guess you didn't take that
warning,
'Cause I'm not about to look at your face again
You can't see the world through
a mirror
It won't be too late when the smoke clears
'Cause
I, I am still here
You're always feeling sorry for yourself
Every time I try to
make you laugh,
You stand like a stone,
Alone in your zone
Is
that too much that I'm askin for?
Afraid of the dark, no
one to claim alone again
You can't see the world through a
mirror,
It won't be too late when the smoke clears
'Cause I,
I am still here
You're
always feeling sorry for yourself
Every time I try to make you
laugh,
You can't your too tough
You think you're loveless
It
was too much that I asked him for
Matt was dumb struck when he heard her sing. He didn't know she could sing like that. When she had started singing he knew that the song was dedicated for him when he had chosen weed over her and for that he felt sick. He had stopped taking drugs and he came back so he could take Will back and that was what he was going to do. Matt was brought back from his thoughts when Will came next to him.
"Cool song. Who was it dedicated for?" Adam said.
"For a long time friend but he's changed now" Will said with a small smile as she stole a glance at Matt who had stayed quite the whole time.
"Hey look. It's the lead singer from Cobalt Blue" said a teenaged girl as she ran over to Matt with a notepad and pen in her hands. "Can you sign it for me, please?" she asked him.
"Yeah sure" Matt said as he signed the piece of paper
"This is, like, so totally cool. My friends are, like, so not going to believe this" said the young girl "Hey can you, like, sing a song with Will for us?" she asked him
"Um…If she wants too" he said lamely. Will looked over at her manager and saw her shaking her head a yes. They needed the money so why not?
"Yeah sure" Will said with a nod of her head.
"Okay guys, looks like you're gonna hear another song from Will but this time the lead singer from Colbat Blue is gonna join in. You know what to do" said the manager as she got off the stage and was replaced by Matt and Will.
"You know the song 'Pictures' from Kid Rock and Sheryl Crow?" Matt asked her
"Yeah" she said
"Wanna sing that?" he asked her
"Yeah sure" she said as she sat down next to him on a stool "Okay guys. We're gonna sing Pictures from Kid Rock and Sheryl Crow. Hope you like it" Will said through the mic as she started playing the guitar while Matt started singing.
Matt
Livin'
my life in a slow hell
Different girl every night at the hotel
I
aint seen the sun shine in 3 damn days
Been fuelin' up on cocaine
and whisky
Wish I had a good girl to miss me
Lord I wonder if
I'll ever change my ways
I put your picture away
Sat down and
cried the day
I can't look at you, I'm lyin' next to her
I
put your picture away, sat down and cried today
I can't look at
you I'm lyin' next to herWill
I
called you last night in the hotel
Everyone knows but they wont
tell
But their half hearted smiles tell me
Somethin' just
ain't right
I been waitin' on you for a long time
Fuelin' up
on heartaches and cheap wine
I ain't heard from you in 3 damn
nights
I put your picture away
I wonder where you been
I
can't look at you while I'm lyin' next to him
I put your picture
away
I wonder where you been
I can't look at you while I'm
lyin' next to him
I saw ya yesterday with an old friendMatt
It
was the same ole same "how have you been"Both
Since
you been gone my worlds been dark & greyMatt
You
reminded me of brighter daysWill
I
hoped you were comin' home to stay
I was head of the churchMatt
I
was off to drink you awayBoth
I
thought about you for a long time
Can't seem to get you off my
mind
I can't understand why we're living life this way
I
found your picture today
I swear I'll change my ways
I just
called to say I want you to come back home
I found your picture
today
I swear I'll change my ways
I just called to say I want
you to come back home
I just called to say, I love you come back
home
When they finished the crowd where cheering wild and Will and Matt had on huge grin's plastered on there faces. They took a small bow and got off the stage and headed back to there table where they found Kim and Adam waiting for them.
"Wow you guys rocked out there" said Adam
"Thanks" they both said at the same time.
"Listen guys, I'm beat so I'm retiring back home" Will said as she walked over to Adam and gave him a kiss on the cheek "Bye guys" she said with a wave as she walked out of the Bar.
On her walk back home her thoughts kept on going back to Matt. How he smiled at her when she sang, how he caressed her hand at the beginning to calm her nerves and how he looked at her like a lover would. 'Okay I did not just think that about Matt' she mentally said to herself as she reached her Pent House. Will quickly opened the door and went straight to her room where she changed into her nightclothes and fell straight asleep.
