Thanksgiving
Later that week it was Thanksgiving. Everyone, including their parents, decided to meet up at Jake's house since the Pitts' dining room was HUGE. In total, there were nine parents (Andy's parents, Ashley's parents, Jinxx's mom, Jake's parents, and CC's parents.). The girls, the guys, Jake's little sister, and Jinxx's little sister. The parents were all on one side of the table and the teens (plus two little kids) were on the other. Starting from the far left was CC, Kelly, Ashley, Lizzie, Jinxx, Sammi, Andy, Carolyn, Jake, Rachel, Amanda (Jake's sister), and Jamie (Jinxx's sister). Andy's dog Copper was on the floor with his food bowl.
They each took turns saying what they were thankful for. The parents were mainly that there family was good and happy. Jake's was for pizza (insert an eye roll from the guys and Rachel here), Ashley's was his lucky bass, Jinxx's was that Sammi survived that accident during the spring (insert an "Aww" from the girls here), and CC's was that Carolyn was okay and away from her crazy dad. Then it was Carolyn's turn.
"So many things that I'm thankful for... First not dying from cancer, and second for my dad being gone. Thanks to Andy." she smiled at him. "Oh and the other guys," she blushed. And looked down and felt his cheeks go a bit pink. He was pretty sure his parents noticed and thought there was probably something going on with him and Carolyn. "And for uncle David and aunt Cecilia for taking me in."
Then it was Andy's turn. "I'm thankful for actually surviving for almost 18 years. I'm thankful for Batman, my friends, family, and that I was able to be there that night Carolyn needed someone." he said.
"Now lets eat!" Jake said and everyone dug into the food. There were twenty-one people there so Jake's mom cooked three turkey. Andy's mom brought the pumpkin pie, Jinxx's mom brought mashed potatoes, Ashley's mom brought homemade bread, and CC's mom brought gravy.
After they ate, the guys set up their instruments in the den. They were going to play a few songs for them. Some new ones the parents haven't heard.
"So we were going to play this song Andy was writing..." Ashley began.
"But he hasn't finished it." Jinxx finished.
"I told you I just need the second verse." Andy said. "But anyway, here are some new songs we're gonna record on our album. This first one is called We Stitch These Wounds."
The guys started playing the intro on their instruments.
You kissed the lips of evil,
Two months is all the same.
Begged for the mans approval.
Like all the rest we'll die in vain.
Sit down with thoughts alone now,
With blood these lyrics came.
Your words can eat right through me,
Dead could hear my shame.
The tears we've cried, this love has died.
You're by yourself with me tonight.
It's what we hide with every lie.
And stitch these wounds with me tonight.
I'll think of it each time I touch you,
Or every time I hear his name.
These walls will never crumble,
Here's our cause to blame.
Sit down with thoughts alone now,
With blood these lyrics came.
Your words can eat right through me,
Dead could hear my shame.
The tears we've cried, this love has died.
You're by yourself with me tonight.
It's what we hide with every lie.
And stitch these wounds with me tonight.
Liar, liar, liar, oh!
The tears we've cried, this love has died.
You're by yourself with me tonight.
It's what we hide with every lie.
And stitch these wounds with me tonight.
The tears we've cried, this love has died.
You're by yourself with me tonight.
It's what we hide with every lie.
And stitch these wounds with me tonight.
Liar, liar, liar!
The parents, girls, and kids applauded and they went on to the next song, 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 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 see,
This is our sweet blasphemy.
Instead of singing the prechorus, Andy says the next part.
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 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.
When they were done, they sat down and started talking more about the songs they were going to have on their album.
"So far we have Knives and Pens, an acoustic version of Knives and Pens, Never Give In, Perfect Weapon, Sweet Blasphemy, and We Stitch These Wounds." Jake said.
"We need six more songs for us to get an album released." Ashley said.
"And I'm in the process of writing one which still doesn't have a title."
"Can we hear part of it?" Carolyn asked.
"No way. I'm not playing it until I have it finished. I'll have it by Christmas. I promise." Andy said.
"Dude, you're killing us!" CC said and dropped his head in Kelly's lap. Kelly patted his head.
"Haha, we get to hear him play what he was for it everyday!" Andy's dad, Chris, said being a bit immature about it.
"And technically we only need four more songs. CC and I are changing the lyrics to Alive and Burning so now the song is called All Your Hate." Andy pointed out.
"And we're changing the lyrics to Funeral In Flames so now its called Beautiful Remains." Ashley said.
"All because he took those lyrics and called them his." Andy spat, refusing to say the name of his old band member who took Alive and Burning and Funeral In Flames. Sure, he liked the new lyrics better, but it really took him a while to change them. (A/N: True story.)
"We'll get the other songs by the time we graduate. That's only in like... six more months." Jake said.
"The song you're working on better be worth the wait, Andy Six, or I'll personally chop off all of your hair." CC joked.
Andy gulped. Sure, he knew CC was joking, but no one except for him (and his mom) touched the hair.
…
…
…
Haha. Andy, you and your hair.
Andy: No one messes with the hair. -touches hair affectionately-
Me: Uh... That's not weird at all. O.o
Review please!
