Hi! I was SO excited to see that I had three new emails from Fanfiction (two story favs and one REVIEW!) that I decided to add another chapter ;) Thanks so much for reading! Review please!
Purplicious Rose: the first song they were singing in the car was Dancing With Tears in My Eyes by Ke$ha (really good song and not like her others!) Thank you SO much for your two super nice reviews!
I do not own Big Time Rush or any of the songs in this chapter.
Chapter 7
"Woah," Aisha whispered when we walked inside my room.
"That's what I thought when I first saw it too!"
"This place is so cool!"
"I know! There's an extra room right here. My room's over there, and the bathroom is right across the hall," I said, showing her around the huge apartment.
"Awesome. I'll start unpacking later. But right now, we need to find a song for you to sing!"
I groaned. "Do I have to?"
"Yes! You've been holding back on them! I still can't believe you didn't tell them you can write songs!" she exclaimed, looking through the box with all my songs in it.
"Because it never came up! I did sing a little bit for James though."
"Ooh-la-la!"
I gently pushed her. "He made me! He said that if he sang, then I had to sing!"
"Is he a good singer?"
"Aisha, he's in a band. A boy band. Yes, he's a good singer."
"Cool. Ooh, I found a song!" she exclaimed, holding up sheet music in the air like a trophy.
"Change," I said, reading the name.
"Yes! Now, go warm up! The boys will be here any minute!"
I sighed, and grabbed my guitar, gently strumming chords.
"Knock knock!" I heard muffled through the door.
"Aisha, can you get that?" I called.
Aisha raced to the door, and opened it.
"Hey, guys," I said, back facing them.
"Hey, Kenny," Kendall said. "So, James and Logan said you were going to play us a song you wrote?"
"Yup!" Aisha chirped before I could answer.
"This is 'Change,'" I said, and started to play.
"And it's a sad picture, the final blow hits you
Sombody else gets what you wanted again
You know it's all the same, another time and place
Repeating history and you're getting sick of it
But I believe in whatever you do
And I'll do anything to see it through
Because these things will change, can you feel it now?
These walls that they put up to hold us back will fall down
It's a revolution, the time will come for us to finally win
We'll sing hallelujah!
We'll sing hallelujah! Oh
So we've been outnumbered, raided and now cornered
It's hard to fight when the fight ain't fair
We're getting stronger now from things they never found
They might be bigger but we're faster and never scared
You can walk away and say we don't need this
But there's something in your eyes says we can beat this
'Cause these things with change, can you feel it now?
These walls that they put up to hold us back will fall down
It's a revolution, the time will come for us to finally win
We'll sing hallelujah!
We'll sing hallelujah! Oh
Tonight we stranded on our knees
To fight for what we worked for all these years
And the battle was long, it's the fight of our lives
Will we stand up champions tonight?
It was the night things changed, can you see it now?
These walls that they put up to hold us back fell down
It's a revolution, throw your hands up, 'cause we never gave in
We'll sing hallelujah!
We sang hallelujah!
Hallelujah!
"Dang," Logan whispered. I smiled.
"Play us another one?" Aisha begged.
I searched the faces of everyone in the room, each one asked the same thing.
"Which one?" I sighed.
"This one," Aisha said, holding up another piece of sheet music.
"Picture to Burn," I smiled.
"Let's hear it," James said, taking a seat next to me.
I took a deep breath and started playing again.
State the obvious
I didn't get my perfect fantasy
I realized 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, you won't mind if I say
By the way
I hate that stupid old pickup truck
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
There's no time for tears
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 going to show you
How sorry you'll be
Cause I hate that stupid old pickup truck
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
And so watch me strike a match
On all my wasted time
As far as I'm concerned
You're just another picture to burn
And if you're missing me
You better keep it to yourself
'Cause coming back around here
Would be bad for your health
Cause I hate that stupid old pickup truck
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
Stupid old pickup truck
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
Burn, burn, burn, baby burn
Just another picture to burn
Baby burn
I looked at James expectantly. He was just smiling.
"What?" I asked.
"That song is really good, but that song makes you sound really upset."
I smiled and looked at Aisha, who was blushing.
"Well, all my songs are about an actual experience."
"So, you were actually this mad at some guy?"
"Uh, no. This one wasn't my experience."
"Who's was it."
I glanced at Aisha. "Mine," she said, blushing.
"I wrote this song write after the break-up," I said.
"What happened?" Kendall asked.
"Should I tell them?" I asked Aisha.
"Sure, I don't care. It doesn't matter to me any more," she shrugged.
"Well, she really really liked this one guy. Like really liked him. And she found out that he liked her too, so they decided to go out. They were a couple for about two months, when she decided to tell him that she loved him. She did and he, uh, well said, 'Ok,' and left. Later that day, she found out that he was cheating on her. So now we all hate him."
"What a jerk!" Carlos exclaimed.
"I know!"Aisha agreed. "And even worse, he went after one of my good friends right after!"
"No!" Carlos exclaimed in disbelief. "Who?"
"Me," I mumbled.
"What?" the four boys exclaimed.
"What?" I asked innocently.
"He went after you?" Kendall asked.
"Don't worry. I told him to get lost," I replied.
"Good thing too. Otherwise, I'd be so mad at you!" Aisha said.
"There's no way I would say yes to a jerk-of-a-guy that cheated on my best friend."
"Oh, shoot," Kendall mumbled looking at his phone.
"What?" I asked.
"We're going to be late! Gustavo will kill us if we're late again. Guys, we got to go. See you guys later."
"Bye?" Aisha and I waved, slightly confused.
"Oh, wait!" James said, running back to the door.
"Yes?" I asked.
"We're having a small 'get-together' tonight as a celebration for Logan getting his license. It's just us and a date. Kendall's bringing Jo, and Logan's bringing Camille. You guys wanna come?"
"Who're our dates?" I joked.
"You wanna be mine? Aisha can be Carlos's."
I looked at Aisha, who just nodded wildly, grinning like crazy.
"Ok," I said.
"Cool," James said grinning. "See you tonight. Our room at eight."
"Got it. See you tonight!"
Review please! :D
