So I'm soooooo sorry for not updating sooner. I feel like my writing was/is getting worse and worse so I decided to wait a few more weeks to try to collect all my thoughts. When I first started this I had no idea where I wanted to go with it I just knew I wanted to try it out, I still don't have the end all figured out but I have some ideas for the next few chapters. If you do or don't like it please let me know because I'm kinda stumped. I had a lot of songs I wanted to use but I can't figure out any scenarios for them so I came up with some other ideas to use them.
I DON'T OWN VAMPIRE ACADEMY OR ANY OF THE SONGS.
Well yet again sorry for taking so long. Here's the rest of the story please R&R and any song or plot ideas would be helpful
"Oh my gosh! He really did that?" said Lissa. "I can't believe him!"
"Yea I know. Now you see why we no longer get along. And just now in the kitchen he pretty much insinuated I was a slut"
"Wow really? Guys can be such jerks!" she said. After I sat there letting her think things over for a minute before she looked at me with a little bit of fear, curiosity, and residual anger. "I don't want to offend you or insinuate anything so please don't be mad but can I ask you a question?"
Curious I just nodded my head.
"Umm what's the deal with you and Joseph?"
"I figured that would come up. Me and Jo….we're just really good friends. He's like a best friend/big brother. There's absolutely nothing romantic between us. We tried it but it didn't work out"
"Oh but why we're you in bed with him? Not to pry or anything I'm just curious"
"Let's just say some not so good things have happened in the past and so now we pretty much share a room for protection/comfort. It helps us both sleep better at night."
"Oh ok…I guess that makes sense." I could feel a tinge of curiosity leaking through the bond. I guess being so close and not paying attention my barriers are coming down a little and honestly it felt weird, as if we had just gotten the bond all over again.
Before I could say anything I heard Jo shouting for me.
"Posie where are you? Casey's on the phone for you!"
"In here teddy!" I hollered back. In a few seconds he came in and handed me the phone.
"Shouldn't you feel a little jealous or ashamed at the fact your girlfriends calling ME on YOUR phone?" I joked.
"Just shut up and talk." He snapped. They weren't really dating but I've been trying to hook them up for a while since they both obviously like each other they just can't seem to admit it to each other.
"Whatever….Hey Case what's up?"
"I have a huge favor to ask you and I know you've said you didn't want to do this but this once will you please do me a favor?"
"Casey your freaking me out what is it?"
"well Jason and his band have a concert tonight and their opening act bailed so we were wondering if you would fill in and maybe do a few songs? Please" Jason is Casey's brother. He's the guitarist in a band called stupefy (An:I don't really know if there's a band called that its just a random name I came up with) they're actually a pretty cool band and do all different types of music, I've even wrote songs for them and with them on many different occasions.
"Ugh you know I don't want to actually be a performer I just like having fun at the bar…but I guess this one time I will."
"Thank you so much! Your on at 7! Meet there in between 6 and 630. Let me call Jason and tell him you said yes! Bye see you tonight"
"Later Case." I said hanging up. I sighed and hung my head in my hands. I really don't mind performing at the bar cuz its just me messing around having fun with a bunch of drunk people, but I really don't like the idea of performing at an actual concert, especially because most likely Lissa will want to go so everyone else will follow. That means they're all going to hear my songs that I never meant for them to hear.
Lissa sensing something was wrong came over and put a comforting hand on my shoulder.
"You ok?" she asked.
"Yeo apparently I'm going to be an opening act for Caseys' brother. Jasons', band."
"OMG that's great why do you seem so depressed bout it?"
"I really don't care for the idea of being an actual performer."
"Oh."
"Yea well I'm going to go inform Jo that he's not working tonight..I suppose you'll want to come too?"
"Of course!"
"K well I'm going to go tell Jo and get ready." I said walking out the door. I found Jo and everyone else in the kitchen eating breakfast.
"Who cooked?"
"I did" said Christian.
"well in that case I'll stick to a muffin." I half joked grabbing one out of the box. Truth was I just really didn't have an appetite these days so I had to force myself to eat once or twice everyday. I know it's unhealthy but I just can't force myself to eat too much when I'm not hungry.
"Hey now I'm a good cook!" he defended himself.
"I saw you in cooking class don't try to fool me!" I said with a smirk.
"Fine whatever don't eat my food but don't come crying to me when everyone else is talking about how awesome my food is!" he replied smiling.
"Don't worry I won't" I said still smirking. "now if you don't mind I'm going to go hop in the shower…..oh and by the way Teddy you might want to call Nicole to manage tonight."
"Oh and why's that?" he questioned.
"Because I'm opening for Jasons' band tonight and yall are coming with me."
"Really? How'd she manage that?"
"I'm still not quite sure." I said with a grin and went to the bathroom.
After I got out of the shower I found Jo sitting in the spare living room by himself.
"hey why so lonesome?" I asked.
"You seem like your in a good mood considering."
"Yea well I'm trying to be a bit more positive." I said "hey I wrote a new song a while back ago that I'm thinking about performing tonight will you listen and tell me if its good?"
"Why of course it'd be my pleasure ma'am" he semi teased over exaggerating his southern accent. He really does talk like a cowboy from the south but being around me he's changed up his way of talking a little, he still has a big accent but he normally doesn't say things like ma'am and darling anymore unless he's teasing me or singing along with a song.
"oh shut it hun!" I said trying my best accent. I must say my southern voice has gotten a lot better than it was when I first got here but I only use it when I'm teasing back. "Now sit and listen to me darlin'!"
I grabbed my guitar and started to play.
"Time for revenge
The story starts when it was hot and it was summer and...
I had it all, I had him right where I wanted him
She came along, got him alone and let's hear the applause
She took him faster than you could say "sabotage"
I never saw it coming, wouldn't have suspected it
I underestimated just who I was dealing with
She had to know the pain was beating in me like a drum
She underestimated just who she was stealing from
She's not a saint
And she's not what you think
She's an actress, whoa
But she's better known
For the things that she does
On the mattress, whoa
Soon she's gonna find
Stealing other people's toys
On the playground won't
Make you many friends
She should keep in mind
She should keep in mind
There is nothing I do better than revenge
She looks at life like it's a party and she's on the list
She looks at me like I'm a trend and she's so over it
I think her ever present frown is a little troubling
And she thinks I'm psycho 'cause I like to rhyme her name with things
But sophistication isn't what you wear or who you know
Or pushing people down to get to where you wanna go
They wouldn't teach you that in prep school so it's up to me
But no amount of vintage dresses gives you dignity
She's not a saint
And she's not what you think
She's an actress, whoa
But she's better known
For the things that she does
On the mattress, whoa
Soon she's gonna find
Stealing other people's toys
On the playground won't
Make you many friends
She should keep in mind
She should keep in mind
There is nothing I do better than revenge
I'm just another thing for you
To roll your eyes at, honey
You might have him but haven't you heard
I'm just another thing for you
To roll your eyes at, honey
You might have him but I always get the last word
She's not a saint
And she's not what you think
She's an actress, whoa
She's better known
For the things that she does
On the mattress, whoa
Soon she's gonna find
Stealing other people's toys
On the playground won't
Make you many friends
She should keep in mind
She should keep in mind
There is nothing I do better than revenge
Do you still feel like you know what you're doing?
'cause I don't think you do.
Do you still feel like you know what you're doing?
I don't think you do
I don't think you do
Let's hear the applause
Come on show me how much better you are (so much better, yeah)
So you deserve some applause 'cause you're so much better
She took him faster than you could say "sabotage""
As I finished I heard clapping and squealing behind me and I turned to see the whole group standing infront of the door way, all clapping except Tasha (big shock there!...not haha) and Lissa ran forward and sat by me.
"Oh my gosh Rose that was so good!" she squealed then sent me a message through the bond "Was it about Tasha?" and I must say it felt a little better than earlier but still was a pretty weird feeling. I just slightly nodded my head and her smile got even bigger.
"Can we preview some more little Dhampir?" asked Adrian
"Oh yea can we please?" asked Liss.
"I guess" I said giving in knowing she wouldn't have left me alone if I didn't. "What song should I do Teddy?"
"Hmmmm I think you should do 'Liar, Liar" and then one happier song"
"Sounds good to me" I said giving him a questioning look about why he chose that one since he knows the story about it. He just smirked and shrugged his shoulders. "Well here goes 'Liar, Liar.'
"You said I was your everything,
You said I was the one,
You played me like a radio,
You use to love that I had no shame.
Pour my pain into words,
Hold my hand to the flame.
Tell me you'll love me like a star
Tell me you'll want me wherever you are,
Tell me you'll breathe me until your last breath.
Liar, liar, oh, liar, liar.
Bit by bit I feel the draft,
Just sit back and watch it burn,
Hold your ice up to my veins,
Call out, call out my name
Tell me you'll love me like a star,
Tell me you'll want me wherever you are,
Tell me you'll breathe me until your last breath.
Liar, liar,
Oh, liar, liar, liar, liar, oh, liar, liar
Tell me you'll love me like a star
Tell me you'll want me wherever you are,
Tell me you'll breathe me until your last breath.
Liar, liar, oh, liar, liar.
Liar, liar."
As I finished everyone was kinda shocked for a second then they slowly came around and slowly clapped.
Wow Rose I'm guessing that one was Dimitri's? questioned Lissa in my head.
"Yep" I said out loud not realizing that I had.
"Yep what?" questioned Christian.
"Oh sorry just thinking out loud" I said trying to cover myself. No one looked like they believed me but they let it slide.
"Ok now to lighten the mood I'll do one more but its more up beat its still about relationships and its not really about anyone or anything particular just a random song that popped in my head. Please don't laugh too hard when you hear it though."
"Why would we laugh?" asked Christian.
"Oh you 'll see" answered Jo for me.
"I'm waitin' on the sun to set cause yesterday aint over yet
I started smoking cigarettes there's nothing else to do I guess
Dusty roads aint made for walking, spinning tires aint made for stoppin'
I'm giving up on love cause love's given up on me
I gave it everything I had and everything I got was bad
Life aint hard but it's too long to live it like some country song
Trade the truth in for a lie, cheating really aint a crime
I'm giving up on love cause love's given up on me
Forget your high society, I'm soakin' it in Kerosene
Light 'em up and watch them burn, teach them what they need to learn HA!
Dirty hands aint made for shakin', aint a rule that aint worth breakin'
Well I'm giving up on love cause love's given up on me
Now I don't hate the one who left
You can't hate someone who's dead
He's out there holding on to someone, I'm holding up my smoking gun
I'll find somewhere to lay my blame the day she changes her last name
Well I'm giving up on love cause love's given up on me
Well I'm giving up on love HEY love's given up on me"
By the time I finished Adrian and Christian looked ready to burst and even Dimitri and Lissa had smiles on their faces. After a few seconds Adrian and Chris just couldn't contain it anymore and died laughing and Lissa started to lightly laugh. Aria had a grin but you could tell she didn't understand all of why they were laughing.
"Wow Texas has really grown on you hasn't it?" asked Lissa.
"I guess you could say that."
"Who knew our little Rosie would one day write country songs!" said Christian before he began laughing again.
"Well I learned to appreciate it more, some of it still annoys me but not all of its bad." I replied.
"Told ya so." Smarted Dimitri. In return I stuck my tongue out at him playing around until I realized what I was doing and quickly sobered up and looked away.
The rest of the day we just hung out around the house until it was time for me to go meet up with the band. When I got back there they had a nice little surprise for me.
"So before you hate me Jason made me do it!" said Casey as I walked up.
"What are you talking about Case?" I questioned.
"Well there really was no opening band that bailed we just said that so you'd agree to come. The real idea is that you could open up by performing a few of your own songs, and then sing with Jason and the band because their singer quit last week."
"What you want me to perform for the whole concert I just figured I could do 1 or 2 songs!"
"I know I'm sorry but they really need a singer tonight and you're an amazing singer plus you've either wrote or co-wrote at least half their songs and the ones you didn't you still know"
"Fine but just just this once! And don't trick me like this again." I said even though I wasn't really mad I just don't like suprises.
"I promise never again and thank you so much! Your going to love erforming I just know it!" she squealed.
Man this is going to be an interesting night. I thought to myself.
AN: sorry about ending it right there I had every intention of continuing through the concert but I just broke my thumb and can't type anymore plus my pain meds are making me sleepy. Well let me know what you think and I promise I'll try to write again in the next few days!
