(Carly's POV)
It was well into the day. Once again I was wondering why I couldn't reach Sam. She said she would help me with this problem, but when I need her most, she flakes? I then chuckled at the thought.
Typical Sam. I then logged onto my Spacebook account. Found Sam Puckett's profile and it said on her wall: "prepping for talent show". Though my inquisitive nature kicked in and wondered what she
was doing. I knew I had my own prepping to do. I then took the elevator up to the studio where I began rummaging through records and CD's for ideas of my own. Though I had a few, none of them
really grasped what I was trying to do. I knew the quest was to get Freddie back, but none of the songs really grasped the message I wanted to send. It was then I started to feel my eyelids get
heavy and before I knew it I was passed out in my beanbag chair. I woke up sometime later and went to my room in attempt to sleep. But that's where things got interesting. As I tried to sleep, a
dream began to form inside my subconscious. I was walking within a dark area it was then I heard faint music but then the music was as clear as day. As I continued walking I started to see videos of
past relationships and crushes inside my mind. And all awhile I heard and saw a figure playing a guitar. Then a band formed behind him. And then as he began to sing the figure was revealed to be
Freddie, so was the Bass player, and the drummer!
(Song: Ghost of Me by: Daughtry)
Thought it was dead and buried
Then it woke you up last night
You sounded so damn worried
You've been tossing, turning,
both ends burning
I wanna put your mind at ease again
(Make everything alright)
I know its getting underneath your skin
I've tried to tell you now
Don't look over your shoulder
'Cause that's just the ghost of me
You're seeing in your dreams
Wait, there's no rhyme or reason
Sometimes there's no meaning
In the visions when you're sleeping
Don't wake up and believe that
You're looking at the ghost of me.
I couldn't fathom it! The fact of seeing my past relationships and the affect they were having on the man I was now in love with. How could I have been so stupid? I thought. All these guys who took
over my prissy teenaged mind, I knew Freddie had a jealousy factor about him but I was beyond cruel. Especially seeing the sadness upon his face all those times. There was the depression clear as
day. As I saw his face wandering and looking sad out of all the times I hurt him, the song continued.
(Back to song)
With your imagination
And emotions running wild
Fueling my frustrations
Like a fire burning,
Clock keeps turning
I know it's getting underneath your skin
I've tried to tell you nowDon't look over your shoulder
'Cause that's just the ghost of me
You're seeing in your dreams
Wait, there's no rhyme or reason
Sometimes there's no meaning
In the visions when you're sleeping
Don't wake up and believe that
You're looking at the ghost of me. WHOA-OH!
(La la laa la, la la laa la, la la laa la)
Yeah you're looking at the ghost of me
(La la laa la, la la laa la, la la laa la)
Yeah you're looking at the ghost of me
Don't look over your shoulder
'Cause that's just the ghost of me
You're seeing
Wait, there's no rhyme or reason
Sometimes there's no meaning
In the visions when you're sleepin'
Don't wake up and believe them
Visions when you're sleepin'
Don't wake up and believe them
You're looking at the ghost of me
(La la laa la, la la laa la, la la laa la)
You're looking at the ghost of me
(La la laa la, la la laa la, la la laa la)
Yeah, you're looking at the ghost of me!
(Song ends)
I woke up in a cold sweat, nearly breathless. That was scary. I thought. It was then on my digitally-enhanced mirror/computer I was receiving a request that read: Baconblonde2012 is requesting a video chat.
"Yo, Carls!" Sam yelled.
"Hey, Sam. I responded, "Why so shouty?"
"Because aside from finding my talent, I have good news for you." she responded.
"I hope it isn't about the bacon-shrimp combination at mall mart." I said.
"No way," she said. "Already had that." she then said, getting back on subject. "But I found the perfect song that you can sing."
"Really," I responded shocked.
"Yeah," She answered. " You know that song by that new band that's out?" she said showing me the CD cover.
"Yeah, I've heard it." I said.
"That's the perfect song for you, well gotta go mom's calling me." She said.
"Wait isn't that a-" I was cut off by the connection being terminated. Then a lingering
thought stayed in my head. I can't sing that song alone. Can I?
(Author's Note: Sorry I haven't updated recently. Its been difficult coming up with ideas but this came to me just now after listening to yet another Daughtry song. I can't help it I'm a huge fan of Daughtry. And I know it seems like a sudden cut-off but that's for the chapters yet to come. But other than that Read and Review but of course, NO FLAMES! I appreciate it. Keep supporting shadow21.)
