Jade flipped through the pages of songs that Tori had written. She was surprised with the amount of talent the girl had. Even though Tori seemed like a sweet and gentle girl, the lyrics written in that book showed the anger and pain Tori was feeling at times. And it reminded Jade of herself and how she felt every single day when she woke up in the morning.

My wounds, they open, the doors, they close,

Important words unspoken, untold to those.

The monsters that lie and pretend to be close,

But I see behind what fools them most.

The lyrics were unfinished, but there were several annotations saying that people were not trustworthy, as they were never what they seemed to be. But Jade slammed down the book onto her desk, pulled a pen from her drawer, and then started to scribe more words onto the page.

The doors, they open, as my painful wounds close,

Important words, softly spoken, finally told to those.

The people that try and live to be close,

The people who love me and care for me most.

She didn't know whether writing something so positive in response was a good idea or not. But she smiled to herself as Tori took the book and pen from her. She scribbled out the first verse, and continued on from Jade's.

But with open doors come more and more choices,

Always being influenced by the ever flowing voices.

The people who loved and cared for you before,

Start to lose hope in you, and don't care anymore.

Jade felt the last two lines sting her heart. Because she knew it applied to the both of them. Yet she took the pen and continued.

Running away, and I'm hiding, I'm hiding,

Hiding from something inside,

Hiding from truth, yeah I'm hiding, I'm hiding,

Trying to prove it's a lie.

"It's like putting an effort into something. Making yourself think positively. Opening those doors and closing those wounds. And you're noticing that there are people there who love and care for you," Tori said, breaking the silence.

"But when you open more doors, there will certainly be more paths, which means there are more choices to take. And there will always be people trying to guide you down different paths. And in the end as the stress gets to you, you don't know what to decide, and the people who once loved you, realize it's just easier to give up on you," Jade replied.

"The next part is the chorus. It's about hiding from the truth. The truth that things really aren't okay."

Jade quickly jotted down the original verse that was written by Tori.

"And now. Now you're proving it," Tori said.

"When I said we needed to get to know each other so we could understand each other better. I don't really believe in that anymore. I believe we understand each other just fine. Look. The song means something. People dig that. If only Beck were here and he could put a neat tune to it. You know, I could work on that some time. Once we've finished the lyrics," Jade smiled.

Tori blushed, "This is fun. Let's finish another verse or two, and then a bridge."

The girls continued writing, and they let their creative energy flow. They understood each other more than they realized, which made writing songs together so easy. Because they both knew what the other person was trying to get across in the message. They weren't just writing random words that sounded fancy, or words that rhymed. They were trying to make something that sounded good, but also had a message people could follow.

After a few hours, two and a half pages were filled with lyrics.

A song about false hope.

"This is great, this is great. We're good," Tori cheered, getting a little excited.

"We are! Do you know how to play any instruments or anything? We could make a band!" Jade said happily.

"I… I don't think being in a band is for me, Jade. I love music and all but I'm not confident enough. I just write, that's it…"

"Your words are great. You're a great songwriter," Jade smiled.

A/N: Had to stop myself from naming the chapter "A LITTLE SONGY SONG ACTION". XDDD

Wow I wrote the song in this chapter so so long ago and right now I'm having a bit of mixed feelings but oh well. It has a tune and everything but I think it sucks so I pretend it doesn't, woops. XD

Please don't be a silent reader, faves, follows and reviews mean so so so so much to me guys!
