Music oneshots Chapter 10: Start of seinor year, a het huis anubis/house of anubis fanfic

Eddie's POV

Here we are again. Posing for our yearly school picture, but this time is different. We're the senior class, and this is our year. Our year to prove, to ourselves and everybody else, that we have what it takes to survive in the real world. That's why Nina and I spent the entire summer forming a band, and posting videos online while auditioning for various record labels.

We're not famous, but we do have a pretty decent fan base. Especially after we opened for Black Veil Brides, on the last half of their American leg of the journey. And this year, I convinced my dad to let our band play at the start of school carnival. Not to mention I talked some famous bands to come as well.

As soon as the photo session is over, everybody starts to wander around the courtyard in front of the main building, where the events are held. There are about twenty different booths, and three rides. The Ferris wheel, freefall, and Matterhorn. Plenty of screams and fun to be heard well into the evening. Not to mention the huge stage that was put up off to the side in the field. Which is exactly were my dad was headed.

"Attention everybody! Thank you. Now before we open the games and rides, we have a very special surprise for all of you. Now, this is something we've never done at this school. It was arranged by two seniors from one of our very best houses. Anubis house! Please welcome Nina Martin and Eddie Miller!"

People started clapping quietly while we walked up on stage, the rest of our house looking slightly confused.

Nina smiled up at me, and I nodded for her to begin talking. "Hey guys! Over the summer Eddie and I got some friends from the states together, and decided to start a band. We got to go on tour with a famous band, and spent the rest of our free time going to music festivals. Now, some of you might not like the same type of music we do, but we flew our friends over to preform today. We also got many of the bands we meet this summer to agree and preform."

I took the mic out of her hand and put it back in the stand, saying, "So, without further ado, please welcome, PARAMORE!"

We hopped off stage as they came out and Hailey started talking. "Hey guys, so how this is gonna go down is each band back there is going to play one song, then introduce the next band. So let's get started shall we! This song is called Still into you!"

Can't count the years on one hand
That we've been together
I need the other one to hold you
Make you feel, make you feel better

It's not a walk in the park
To love each other
But when our fingers interlock,
Can't deny, can't deny you're worth it
'Cause after all this time I'm still into you

I should be over all the butterflies
But I'm into you (I'm into you)
And baby even on our worst nights
I'm into you (I'm into you)

Let 'em wonder how we got this far
'Cause I don't really need to wonder at all
Yeah, after all this time I'm still into you

Recount the night that
I first met your mother
And on the drive back to my house
I told you that, I told you that I loved ya

You felt the weight of the world
Fall off your shoulder
And to your favorite song
We sang along to the start of forever
And after all this time I'm still into you

I should be over all the butterflies
But I'm into you (I'm into you)
And baby even on our worst nights
I'm into you (I'm into you)
Let 'em wonder how we got this far
'Cause I don't really need to wonder at all
Yeah, after all this time I'm still into you

Some things just, some things just make sense
And one of those is you and I (Hey)
Some things just, some things just make sense
And even after all this time (Hey)

I'm into you, baby, not a day goes by
That I'm not into you

I should be over all the butterflies
But I'm into you (I'm into you)
And baby even on our worst nights
I'm into you (I'm into you)
Let 'em wonder how we got this far

'Cause I don't really need to wonder at all
Yeah, after all this time
I'm still into you
I'm still into you
I'm still into you

"Thanks you guys! Now the next band is Sleeping with Sirens!"

They quickly switched places, Kellin and Hailey quickly hugging.

"Hey everybody! Today, we've decided to sing Free Now from our latest album! So let's get this STARTED!"

I wrote this song for my father
Sometimes I feel he never gave a damn about me
Though he raised me like he should
Did he understand me? No, no, I don't think so.

I wrote this song for my mother
She had to leave me, when I was younger
She said son, seek this life and keep an open mind
But in my mind's eye...

...I am free now
Free to live without my fears
I believe now
There's a reason why I'm here
It's to try to do good
It's to try to do better

Who will I be for my daughter?
This little baby, she means the world to me
Will I relive their mistakes?
Or do things the right way?
For her sake!

I am free now
Free to live without my fears
I believe now
There's a reason why I'm here

Can I be a man?
One that understands
How to love more patiently
I am free now
I am free now.

And we dream of the day, when our kids can play
In the streets with no fear of being taken away
Fathers raise their sons with respect and love
Handle anger and pain with no need for no guns
If we hope to be free it takes you and me
To start over here and now
'Cause this world is the way it is,
It's how we raise our kids.

I wrote this song for my mother,
Wrote this song for our father
So hopefully we can come together
And hopefully make things a little better.

I am free now
Free to live without my fears
I believe now
There's a reason why I'm here.

Can I be a man?
One that understands
How to love more patiently
I am free now
I am free now
I am free now
I am free now.

"Ok, so I wish we had more time to sing, but there are still a few more bands. But afterwards, feel free to come hang with us for bit while we check out the games."

By this point a pretty good percent of people we're cheering, only to be added to when the next band was introduced. "Ladies and gents, give a big had to Sick Puppies!"

"Hey people! This song is You're Going Down!"

Define your meaning of war
To me it's what we do when we're bored
I feel the heat comin' off of the blacktop
And it makes me want it more
Because I'm hyped up out of control
If it's a fight, I'm ready to go
I wouldn't put my money on the other guy
If you know what I know that I know

It's been a long time coming
And the table's turned around
'Cause one of us is going
One of us is going down
I'm not running,
It's a little different now
'Cause one of us is going
One of us is going down

Define your meaning of fun
To me it's when we're getting it done
I feel the heat comin' off of the blacktop
So get ready for another one
Let's take a trip down memory lane
(Do you remember me?)
The words circling in my brain
(And what you did to me)
You can treat this like another all the same
But don't cry like a bitch when you feel the pain

This is hardly worth fighting for
But it's the little petty shit that I can't ignore
With my fist in your face, and your face on the floor

It'll be a long time coming
But you got the message now
'Cause I was never going
Yeah, you're the one that's going down

One of us is going down
I'm not running,
It's a little different now
'Cause one of us is going
One of us is going down

One of us is going down

"Now, there are two bands left before your friends band, so here we go, Falling in Reverse!"

"Hello everyone. For the longest time, we couldn't think of what song to play here today. So about an hour ago, we finally settled on The drug in me is you."

I heard a knock upon my door the other day
I opened it to find death staring in my face
The feel of mortal stalking still reverberates
Everywhere I go I drag this coffin just in case

My body's tremblin' sends shivers down my spine
Adrenaline kicks in, shifts into overdrive,
Your secrets keep you safe, your lies keep you alive
Snake eyes every single time, you roll with crooked dice

(Ah)

I felt the darkness as it tried to pull me down (pull me down)
The kind of dark that haunts a hundred year old house
I wrestle with my thoughts, I shook the hand of doubt
Running from my past, I'm praying feet don't fail me now

I've lost my goddamn mind
It happens all the time
I can't believe I'm actually
Meant to be here
Trying to consume
The drug in me is you
And I'm so high on misery
Can't you see?

I got these questions always running through my head
So many things that I would like to understand
If we are born to die and we all die to live
Then what's the point of living life if it just contradicts?

(Ah)

I felt the darkness as it tried to pull me down (pull me down)
The kind of dark that haunts a hundred year old house
I wrestle with my thoughts I shook the hand of doubt
Running from my past I'm praying feet don't fail me now

I've lost my goddamn mind
It happens all the time
I can't believe I'm actually
Meant to be here
Trying to consume
The drug in me is you
And I'm so high on misery
Can't you see?

I've lost
Myself
You tried to reach me but you just can't help me
So long
Goodbye
You tried to save me, it won't work this time

'Cause now

I've lost my fucking mind
And there's no fucking time
I can't believe I'm actually
Meant to be here
Trying to consume
The drug in me is you
And I'm so high on misery
Can't you see?
Oh, can't you see?
Can't you see?

"So, next up is the band that took these awesome kids on tour with them. Black Veil Brides!"

Out came BVB all done up in their war paint and leather, big hair and piercing looks.

"Why hello everybody. Now, I know we haven't dressed like this for a while, but we decided to do I bit of a flashback. So we went all out on makeup, outfits, hair even though I can't do it up as big anymore. And of course, a song from our first CD, back when CC wasn't even in the band. So here's our Sweet Blasphemy!"

Through sadness you have taught us to be one with the crowd
Unveil the sacred order, hymns of falling down
You told the greatest stories, of love and bleeding crowns
But to the sick and hungry, you cannot be found

We are young and we are strong
Through strength in self we become
Something more than they can be
I raise my heart and sing!

That I won't believe this lie
I know there's something more inside
When darkness is all you'll see
This is our Sweet Blasphemy

Silence the crooked holy, unchain the tied and bound
No time for allegory, one true reigning sound
Unite the lonely mourning, a simple servant now
We are the only glory, hear us screaming loud

We are young and we are strong
I raise my heart and sing!

That I won't believe this lie
I know there's something more inside
When darkness is all you'll see
This is our Sweet Blasphemy

We are young and we are strong
Through strength in self we become
Something more than they can be
This is our Sweet Blasphemy

That I won't believe this lie
I know there's something more inside
When darkness is all you'll see
This is our Sweet Blasphemy

That I won't believe this lie
I know there's something more inside
When darkness is all you see
This is our Sweet Blasphemy

"Now, we're go hang out with everybody in a bit, but first here's the band you've all been waiting for, Sweet Redemption!"

With this, Nina and I hauled our friends up on stage. Kenzie, our red headed drummer, Matt, the blue haired guitarist, and David, the bassist with black hair and a blond streak. During the other acts, the two of us had changed out of our uniforms, and into our stage cloths. Neon skinny jeans, and white long sleeve shirts, and converse. "Hey guys! So I bet you're pretty shocked at the fact that Eddie and I have done this. Well, we are going to sing two songs, one that shows of Eddie's strong suits, and then one for me! Let's get started, Bleed it out, by Linkin Park. Rapping down by Eddie, regular vocals by me."

Yeah here we go for the hundredth time
Hand grenade pins in every line

Throw 'em up and let something shine
Going out of my fucking mind

Filthy mouth, no excuse
Find a new place to hang this noose

String me up from atop these roofs
Knot it tight so i won't get loose

Truth is you can stop and stare
Run myself out and no one cares

Dug the trench out laid down there
With a shovel up out of reach somewhere

Yeah, someone pour it in
Make it a dirt dance floor again

Say your prayers and stomp it out
When they bring that chorus in

[Chorus]
I bleed it out digging deeper
Just to throw it away

I bleed it out digging deeper
Just to throw it away

Just to throw it away
Just to throw it away

I bleed it out

[End Chorus]

Go stop the show
Choppy words and a sloppy flow

Shotgun opera lock and load
Cock it back and then watch it go

Mama help me I've been cursed
Death is rolling in every verse

Candy paint on his brand new hearse
Can't contain him he knows he works

Fuck this hurts, I won't lie
Doesn't matter how hard I try

Half the words don't mean a thing
And I know that I wont be satisfied

So why try ignoring him
Make it a dirt dance floor again

Say your prayers and stomp it out
When they bring that chorus in

[Chorus]
I bleed it out digging deeper
Just to throw it away

I bleed it out digging deeper
Just to throw it away

Just to throw it away
Just to throw it away

I bleed it out

I've opened up these scars
I'll make you face this

I've pulled myself so far
I'll make you, face, this, now!

[Chorus]
I bleed it out digging deeper
Just to throw it away

I bleed it out digging deeper
Just to throw it away

Just to throw it away
Just to throw it away

I bleed it out digging deeper
Just to throw it away

Just to throw it away
Just to throw it away

I bleed it out
I bleed it out
I bleed it out

"Now," I started slowly walking back over to Nina from where I had ended up by the drums. "Is a song that Nina is beyond amazing at. It's not her favorite type of music to sing, but here we go with Going Under, by Evanescence!"

Now I will tell you what I've done for you -
50 thousand tears I've cried.
Screaming, deceiving and bleeding for you -
And you still won't hear me (going under)
Don't want your hand this time - I'll save myself.
Maybe I'll wake up for once (wake up for once)
Not tormented daily defeated by you
Just when I thought I'd reached the bottom

I dive again

I'm going under (going under)
Drowning in you (drowning in you)
I'm falling forever (falling forever)
I've got to break through
I'm going under

Blurring and stirring the truth and the lies.
(So I don't know what's real)
So I don't know what's real and what's not (don't know what's real and what's not)
Always confusing the thoughts in my head
So I can't trust myself anymore

I dive again

I'm going under (going under)
Drowning in you (drowning in you)
I'm falling forever (falling forever)
I've got to break through

I...

So go on and scream
Scream at me I'm so far away (so far away)
I won't be broken again (again)
I've got to breathe - I can't keep going under

I dive again

I'm going under (going under)
Drowning in you (drowning in you)
I'm falling forever (falling forever)
I've got to break through

I'm going under (going under)
I'm going under (drowning in you)
I'm going under

As our band finished, all of the school was cheering, and screaming their heads off, while Anubis house came running forward, and pulled themselves up on stage. This was going to be a good year!
