CHAPTER 9:

A/N: Great thanks to everyone who reviewed, especially Callieach and AthenaIceGodess for their suggestions in song, and onto the chapter. PS: I will definitely use those songs you guys suggested, they rock, and will fit perfectly, I love it when people give me suggestions!

PS: hahaha HEY ALI, guess what finally writing this chapter after you made me French toast a million years ago haha.

Disclaimer: Don't own anything- the song is by Dashboard Confessionals and is called: Again I Go Unnoticed.

----------

Lily walked on stage and pushed a strand of hair behind her ears as the music started. She hadn't been sure what song to pick, but she decided this would be a good one. Not necessarily because she felt for the song, but she liked it and imagined it would be quite thought provoking for her group of friends and their speculation on her love life…

So quiet
another wasted night,
the television steals the conversation
exhale,
another wasted breath,
again it goes unnoticed.

Bug looked up as Lily began singing but quickly dropped his gaze. He had lost her to Matt Seeley, for the time being anyhow. It was his own fault really. How was he to know if she returned his feelings if he hadn't told her they existed for over two years? She must have assumed he'd moved on… she must have felt something for him now. Interesting song choice she had though. Again I go unnoticed. She couldn't possibly think no one noticed her, could she?

Please tell me you're just feeling tired
cause if it's more than that I feel that I might break
out of touch, out of time.
Please send me anything but signals that are mixed
cause I can't read your rolling eyes
out of touch, are we out of time?

Matt wasn't sure what to make of Lily's song choice. So far that evening everyone had chosen songs that either sent a very obvious message to someone else in the audience or expressed a feeling or in Jordan's friends case, a personality trait. He had to admit, Jordan's friends were hot. Heck, Jordan was hot tonight. Not that Lily wasn't… but was she really that insecure about herself? Or was she just trying to make everyone think that? Boy did she confuse him.

Close lipped
another goodnight kiss
is robbed of all it's passion,
your grip
another time, is slack
it leaves me feeling empty.

Garret, like everyone else that was here with them save Jordan's friends, wasn't sure what the heck to make of Lily's song. He knew he and Lily were long done. They were friends now, good friends, but just friends. Did he ever regret choosing Renee over Lily? All the time. He knew Lily wouldn't have left him the way Renee did… but what was done was done, and Lily deserved someone who wasn't going to hurt her in any way. Was Matt that guy? Garret wasn't sure but he was going to find out before things got serious between the two of them. He had hurt Lily, and he knew and regretted that all the time, but he wasn't going to let her get hurt again if he could help it.

I'll wait until tomorrow
maybe you'll feel better then
maybe we'll be better then
so what's another day
when I can't bear these nights of thoughts
of going on without you
this mood of yours is temporary
it seems worth the wait
to see your smile again
out of the corner of my eye
won't be the only way you're looking at me then.

'You shouldn't have to wait for anyone Lily' Bug's mind was screaming. The song put it in perspective for him. What if she had been in love with him, what if she had returned these feelings all this time and she was alone because he was too chicken to do anything about it. Is that what Nigel kept hinting at? That he wasn't the only one suffering in this situation? Could have been, for Nigel had a weird knack for knowing things about relationships, but what if she wasn't thinking about him at all when she chose this song? What would happen then. But what if she was? Bug sighed and took another drink. This was going to be one long night.

Okay so short (sorry)? Weird? Probably horrible? Well please let me know in a review! Things may not be too clear now, lol probably very confusing but I've got a semi plan in my mind for how things will work out at the end of the night. I'd adapting it a bit because of recent developments in the show naturally, but please, please let me know what you thought! Ha I haven't updated this for like five months, so ALI THERE YOU GO!
