Hey!!!!!
ok so first off, i just want to say i'm soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo sorry, i know it took forever to finish this chapter, and yes it is longer than the first three chapters but that's no excuse. I've been really busy lately, but thats not important, what matters is that its finally finished!
I really want to thank Luara, because without her this chapter would still be in the works, she wrote most of this chapter and she is so amazing for it!
this chapter is in Robert's point of veiw, and thats one of the reasons why it took so long to wrirte cause let's face it, I don't know him personally so getting inside his head was a challenge.
disclaimer : I don't own Twilight, it's actors or the song Don't wake me up.
Enjoy!!!!
Chapter 4: Sing to Me
RPOV
It turns out; Pandemonium is a night club, although Melody describes it more as a Karaoke bar. The rest of the day was uneventful; after everyone else got up we all ate breakfast and discussed going out, everyone seemed eager enough to have some fun. Clary assured us that most of her and Melody's friends would be there, a few of which are very excited to meet us.
After breakfast everyone spent the day unpacking and getting to know each other, except for me. I spent the day with Melody, eating popcorn and watching Buffy. I had to admit, it was a pretty good show, but it was Melody's commentary that made it great.
I found myself yelling at the screen along with her, the pair of us must have been a sight. She was just so enthusiastic about it; I couldn't help but getting so caught up with her. When we got to the episode called "The Puppet Show" Melody took the largest pillow on the couch and buried her face in it. When I asked her what was wrong, she said that the marionette in the episode scared her, and she would just hide behind the pillow until it was over.
I immediately had an overwhelming desire to comfort her, to hold her and make her smile. Instead I told her that we would skip that episode, and that it's wasn't a big deal; besides watching it by myself wouldn't be nearly as fun as watching it with her.
She insisted that I eventually watch it by myself; I tried to tell her it wasn't that important, but she was too stubborn so I gave in, besides she is so cute when she's stubborn.
It was 7:30 when we finished season one; the girls locked themselves into their rooms to get ready for tonight.
* * *
As I sat in my room, ready to go, I wondered what Melody was doing. She was probably doing her hair or touching up her makeup. I don't know why I'm so fond of her, ever since she embarrassed herself within those first few minutes of meeting her, I was eager to be near her constantly.
I began to think of the time she first introduced Jace, I remember being engulfed with a jealousy that I could barely understand; I still don't.
"Clary! How long does it take to brush your teeth? Can you please open the door?.....Ugh! I'm using another bathroom!" I could hear Melody's footsteps storm out of her room and down the hallway coming closer.
She stopped at my doo. She was in this beautiful cocktail length black sequence dress that fell around her curves perfectly, and matching high heals. God she's beautiful, i had to remind myself to breath.
"Could I use your washroom? Clary is taking forever!" I nodded, unable to make words come out of my mouth. She only took a moment in the washroom, when she came out she said "The limo is going to be here in 5 minutes, so you should get your shoes on"
Limo? How fancy was this place? "We're taking a limo?" the words staggered out of my mouth. "Oh, our friends, Anni and Lizzie, they really want to make a good impression so they pulled some money together to get us a limo" she answered while rolling her eyes. "Well they didn't have to do that; we're in limos all the time" "that's what I said! But they are just way to excited to listen to anyone"
She walked out of my room, and I sighed. She was just so gorgeous, make-your-pants-wet-pinch-me-I'm-dreaming gorgeous. I chuckled to myself; that was something Melody had taught me today, she used the term to describe the actor playing Angel.
There was a knock on my open door, "Hey man, you ready? The limo's outside." I returned back to reality, grabbed my shoes and followed Jackson out the door. For some reason, I had a feeling in my gut that tonight was going to be unforgettable.
* * *
It was around 8:30 when we got to the club, Kellan and Jackson seemed to think that there were a lot of "hot babes" there, but I didn't pay any attention to them. All the girls there just seemed so plain in comparison to one.
Pandemonium was a small night club in downtown Toronto; it reminded me a lot of the Bronze from Buffy, with a small stage on the downstairs level. The music was blaring; Kellan and Jackson disappeared within seconds, probably going after some girls.
All of a sudden, two eager girls came charging up the stairs to where we were standing. I could only assume these were Melody's friends. Clary and Mel ran up to them greeting them with hugs and smiling faces, I just stood back with Taylor watching stare at the shorter one, as Clary introduced them to Kristen, Ashley and Nikki.
The taller one walked over to us and introduced herself. She was slender, with short dark brown hair that reminded me of Victoria Beckum. She had brown eyes to match her hair and a magnificent smile. "Hi, I'm Anastasia, but please call me Anni! You don't need to introduce yourselves; I already know who you are, as creepy as that may sound."
"Taylor, I see that look on your face, you should deff go for it you're her favorite." And with that, Taylor was gone, walking straight toward the girl I assumed to be Lizzie. She had long blond hair and brown eyes; and even though her height made her look like she was twelve, the rest of her proved other wise. Taylor toward over her, but that clearly didn't faze him; it was obvious to anyone watching that he was flirting. The look on Lizzies face was laughable, a mix of shock and excitement.
"That's Lizzie, she'll probably come say hi later, she's a little star struck at the moment" I didn't really care much for what Anni was saying; Jace and Alec had just arrived and I went into withdrawal. I felt sick to my stomach as I watched Jace eagerly address Mel. I can't believe myself, why should I care if she was taken?
Because you like her
No I don't…….well, I dunno………maybe a little
Ya dude, you got it bad
Shut up! It shouldn't matter anyways, she's with Jace
Whatever. Listen, why don't you stop talking to yourself and start paying attention to that nice girl in front of you?
'Kay
"You know, I'm not oblivious; you'll come to know that I see things, it's sort of a sixth sense" I looked at her confused. "I'm not sure I know what you mean" "Well, you clearly have something for Mellie! She's with Jace, you know. But don't worry, it's not that obvious, we'll keep this as a secret, between you and me." She placed her had on my shoulder reassuringly before looking around.
"Where are the other boys? Wait! Let me rephrase that, where's KELLAN?" I couldn't help laughing; she would be too perfect for Kellan. "Um, I think he's downstairs with Jackson, getting a drink or something." "Really? Cool, well see ya" she instantly raced downstairs, scoping the area for Kellan and Jackson.
Anni and her search for Kellan swiftly left my mind as I spotted Mel walking toward me, arm in arm with Lizzie and Taylor close behind them. "Let me guess, she went looking for Kellan?" she said while rolling her eyes. "Ya, something tells me she likes him" I said, using Edward's famous smirk. "Ha! That's the understatement of the century. Anyway, Rob this is my petite friend. Lizzie"
Lizzie nudged Melody in the ribs and sneered at her comment. "Oh shut it Mel" Melody laughed as Lizzie turned her attention to me, holding out her hand. "Hey Rob, it's nice to meet you." "It's nice to meet you too Lizzie" "So Rob, what do you think of Toronto? Although I must apologize for the poor representation of it's night life, but I promise to take you all to a real club soon."
"I thought you liked it here!" Mel interjected. "Well, it's good for the shows and open mikes, but it's not the greatest club in the city." "Actually Lizzie, I kind of like it, but I will take you up on that offer to see a real club" She smiled at me, and I could see Taylor grimace behind her at me. I tried not to laugh.
Jace came up behind Melody, rapping his arms around her waist, and the little green monster in my chest roared with furry. "Come on baby, we should all go downstairs, the open mike is gonna start" Jace took Mel's hand and led her downstairs while the rest of us followed.
I stood in front of the stage with Anni, Kellan Clary, Alec and Jackson on my left side and Kristen, Taylor, Lizzie, Ashley, Nikki, Jace and Melody on my right. Kristen turned toward me, "Having fun?" "Ya, this place is pretty cool." She opened her moth to say something, but our attention was called else were.
There was a tall blonde standing on the stage in front of a microphone, wearing ripped jeans and a phantom of the opera t-shirt. "That's Aurora, she's the manager here, she totally rocks" Anni whispered in my ear.
"How's every one doing tonight?" Aurora's question was answered with multiple cheers for the audience. "Awesome! Ok, so as you all know tonight is open mike, but just to warn you I can't guarantee that not all of the performers we see tonight won't suck." Every one laughed "however I do know that this first performer does not suck. So please give a warm welcome to my friend Mel!" Every one cheered, as I looked in shock toward Mel who was making her way toward the stage. She could sing?
She was standing in front of the mike now, looking shy. "Hey, every one, so I'm going to be singing one of my favorite songs tonight. It's called Don't Wake Me Up, and it's written by The Hush Sound. Hope that you like it." Every one cheered as the music started playing and Melody parted her lips.
You came to me
In seamless sleep
Slipped right in
Behind my eye
On the back of my mind
We swam a sea
Of pretty sights and chandelier skies
I swore I could feel you breathe
It was all so real to me
I couldn't believe it, her voice was spectacular. I never wanted her to stop singing, I wanted to simply stand here for the rest of my life listening to her.
The light had slipped through the window
The morning ripped you away oh
Don't wake me up
I am still dreaming
The story's undone
Unravel at the seams
Don't wake me up
Death is misleading
And when I fall asleep
Sleep with your ghost
I looked in the dark
The room calm and cold
And quiet hollow
I am such a haunted soul
Your ghost has gone to bed
Its all cold
The light had slipped through the window
The morning ripped you away oh
Don't wake me up
I am still dreaming
The story's undone
Unravel at the seams
Don't wake me up
Death is misleading
And when I fall asleep
Sleep with a ghost
Oh you were a fire caught in a storm
Memories like embers keep us warm
You will leave me in the morning me
The light had slipped through the window
The morning ripped you away oh
The light had slipped through the window
The morning ripped you away oh
The light had slipped through the window
The morning ripped you away oh
My heart melted when the music ended. I was still in shock. I watched as Melody jumped off the stage and ran straight into Jace's arms. Once again the little monster in my chest roared, it urged me to rip Jace away from Mel, and hold her in my arms. Instead I went up to the bar to get a drink.
The bar tender was blonde, with a purple streak on the right side of her face. Her name tag read 'Amanda' "What will you have?" "Just a beer please" She placed one in front of me; I took it and turn to watch every one congratulate Melody. Amanda must have seen me starring, because she said to me "She's great isn't she? Pretty too" "Ya she's amazing" my tone was laced with awe.
I set my beer down, and walked toward the group of people surrounding Mel. That was it; there was no way I would ever be able to deny any feelings I have for her. At that moment, I could care less about Jace; he was just a speed bump in the road, easily overcome. I was decided; from now on I would make it my mission to win Melody's heart. No matter what.
Review, review, review!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
