Chapter 4
The next day, I looked better. I wore skinny jeans, a silver shirt, black leather jacket and high-heeled boots. I wore my hair into a messy look. I put make-up on, black eyeliner, black eye shadow and bright red lipstick. I had jewellery on too. When I was done I went down to the common room. I knew everybody was gone for breakfast. I went to the Great Hall quickly. There was a stage ready there and everyone was looking at it curiously. When I entered, the lights were dimmed. Dumbledore went to the stage and introduced me.
"Everybody, as I told you yesterday, there will be a performance today so you will not have classes. Even though this show will only take a few hours, she still requested that you will be free from your studies today. There is a band here, but I just hired them so they could play the song the singer can sing with a few other instruments. Now, let me welcome you, our singer for today," he said and then left without introducing me.
"This song is for those who are broken hearted," I said. Nobody recognized my voice I was still in the shadows. I started singing.
Forever and Always by Taylor Swift
Once upon a time, I believe it was a Tuesday This thing is breaking down, we almost never speak And I stare at the phone and he still hasn't called Was I out of line? Did I say something way too honest So here's to everything, coming down to nothing And I stare at the phone and he still hasn't called Oh, and it rains in your bedroom, everything is wrong Oh, back up, baby, back up, did you forget everything? 'Cause it rains in your bedroom, everything is wrong Oh, I stare at the phone and he still hasn't called And it rains in your bedroom, everything is wrong
When I caught your eye
And we caught onto something, I hold on to the night
You looked me in the eye and told me you loved me
Were you just kidding? 'Cause it seems to me
I don't feel welcome anymore
Baby, what happened? Please tell me
'Cause one second it was perfect
Now you're halfway out the door
And then you feel so low, you can't feel nothin' at all
And you flashback to when he said, forever and always
Oh, oh
Oh, and it rains in your bedroom, everything is wrong
It rains when you're here and it rains when you're gone
'Cause I was there when you said forever and always
That made you run and hide like a scared little boy?
I looked into your eyes, thought I knew you for a minute
Now I'm not so sure
Here's to silence that cuts me to the core
Where is this going? Thought I knew for a minute
But I don't anymore
And then you feel so low, you can't feel nothin' at all
And you flashback to when he said forever and always
Oh, oh
It rains when you're here and it rains when you're gone
'Cause I was there when you said forever and always
You didn't mean it, baby, I don't think so
Oh, oh
Back up, baby, back up, did you forget everything?
It rains when you're here and it rains when you're gone
'Cause I was there when you said forever and always
And then you feel so low, you can't feel nothin' at all
And you flashback to when we said forever and always
It rains when you're here and it rains when you're gone
'Cause I was there when you said forever and always
You didn't mean it, baby, you said forever and always
Everybody clapped. A few even catcalled and I blushed. I started a new song.
Picture to Burn by Taylor Swift
State the obvious, I didn`t get my perfect fantasy [Chorus:] I hate that stupid old pickup truck There`s no time for tears, [Repeat Chorus] If you`re missing me, I hate that stupid old pickup truck [Repeat Chorus] Burn, burn, burn, baby, burn
I realize you love yourself more than you could ever love me
So go and tell your friends that I`m obsessive and crazy
That`s fine I`ll tell mine you`re gay
And by the way...
You never let me drive
You`re a redneck heartbreak
Who`s really bad at lying
So watch me strike a match
On all my wasted time
As far as I`m concerned you`re
Just another picture to burn
I`m just sitting here planning my revenge
There`s nothing stopping me
From going out with all of your best friends
And if you come around saying sorry to me
My daddy`s gonna show you how sorry you`ll be
You`d better keep it to yourself
Cause coming back around here
Would be bad for your health...
You never let me drive
You`re a redneck heartbreak
Who`s really bad at lying
So watch me strike a match
On all my wasted time
In case you haven`t heard,
I really really hate that..
You`re just another picture to burn
Baby, burn...
Everyone was clapping so loud. I looked at my friends and saw that they were shell shocked but when I looked at James he was staring at me longingly, I think it finally hit him that these songs were meant for him.
"Hit it!" I shouted and the music started playing.
That's what You Get by Paramore
No sir, well I don't wanna be the blame, not anymore
It's your turn, so take a seat we're settling the final score
And why do we like to hurt, so much?
I can't decide
You have made it harder just to go on
And why, all the possibilities where I was wrong
That's what you get when you let your heart win, whoa
That's what you get when you let your heart win, whoa
I drowned out all my sense with the sound of its beating
And that's what you get when you let your heart win, whoa
I wonder, how am I supposed to feel when you're not here
Cause I burned every bridge I ever built when you were here
I still try holding onto silly things, I never learn
Oh why, all the possibilities I'm sure you've heard
That's what you get when you let your heart win, whoa
That's what you get when you let your heart win, whoa
I drowned out all my sense with the sound of its beating (beating)
And that's what you get when you let your heart win, whoa
Pain, make your way to me, to me
And I'll always be just so inviting
If I ever start to think straight
This heart will start a riot in me
Let's start, start, hey!
Why do we like to hurt so much?
Oh why do we like to hurt so much?
That's what you get when you let your heart win!
Whoa
That's what you get when you let your heart win, whoa
That's what you get when you let your heart win, whoa
Now I can't trust myself with anything but this
And that's what you get when you let your heart win, whoa
I sang a few more songs and then I ended the show. Everyone clapped so hard after my last song. I was blushing so hard.
"Those songs are dedicated to this guy who I loved and I thought loved me but turns out he just wanted me so I can be another notch to his bedpost! Let's hear it for James fucking Potter." I said to everyone. Everyone gasped and turned to James. He was standing there with his mouth open. He mouthed, I'm sorry. I really do love you. I rolled my eyes and went off the stage. I went to the common room and packed my bags.
I stayed there all day long. I couldn't bear to see James, he already broke my heart. I read the book that I was reading, Hunger Games. It was so intriguing that I forgot about James. It was about this Capitol who made a game for the amusement of the people in Capitol. This girl, Katniss, was chosen to play in the games with a guy who loved her but she doesn't know named Peeta. Their story was sooo cute. I am so going to buy Catching Fire. I looked at the clock and gasped.
It's 11:30 already but where are Lene, Alice and Em? Maybe they thought that I needed space. Oh well, I'm just going to sleep.
Please Review and please help me! I need ideas! Thanks!
