-Chapter-6-Getting used to things-
-Marley pov-
"Alright so the goal of today is to get you all a little more associated with our earth!" I smile and look at the girls before me "I have a list of things about what are major differences! Number one is all of the singing?"
"Yes none of us can sing" Lena frowns and kicks at the dirt "I mean singing just sucks you know?"
"Uh actually I can sing" Lena looks at Alex shocked and I must admit I am shocked too "Do I have to though? My job is a police officer not with the kids"
"Well you work security and I want to hear" Kelly smiles "How about it?"
"Fine" Alex groans and steps forward "But I am owed so many cuddles!"
"Aw Alex loves cuddles" She glares at me and I laugh "It is sweet cousin!"
"Bite me" Alex pulls out her phone and hands it to me "I will sing that one"
I nod and connect it to my speaker for her.
-Alex singing-(Comment if you get it)
2 AM and she calls me 'cause I'm still awake,
"Can you help me unravel my latest mistake?
I don't love him. Winter just wasn't my season."
Yeah we walk through the doors, so accusing their eyes
Like they have any right at all to criticize.
Hypocrites, you're all here for the very same reason
'Cause you can't jump the track, we're like cars on a cable
And life's like an hourglass, glued to the table
No one can find the rewind button, girl.
So cradle your head in your hands
And breathe... just breathe,
Oh breathe, just breathe
May he turn 21 on the base at Fort Bliss
Just today he sat down to the flask in his fist,
Ain't been sober, since maybe October of last year.
Here in town you can tell he's been down for a while,
But, my God, it's so beautiful when the boy smiles,
Wanna hold him. Maybe I'll just sing about it.
'Cause you can't jump the track, we're like cars on a cable,
And life's like an hourglass, glued to the table.
No one can find the rewind button, boys,
So cradle your head in your hands,
And breathe... just breathe,
Oh breathe, just breathe
There's a light at each end of this tunnel,
You shout 'cause you're just as far in as you'll ever be out
And these mistakes you've made, you'll just make them again
If you'd only try turning around.
2 AM and I'm still awake, writing a song
If I get it all down on paper, it's no longer inside of me,
Threatening the life it belongs to
And I feel like I'm naked in front of the crowd
'Cause these words are my diary, screaming out loud
And I know that you'll use them, however you want to
But you can't jump the track, we're like cars on a cable,
And life's like an hourglass, glued to the table
No one can find the rewind button now
Sing it if you understand.
And breathe, just breathe
Whoa breathe, just breathe,
Oh breathe, just breathe,
Oh breathe, just breathe.
"That was phenomenal!" We all clap except Lena who looks shocked "Anyone else? Rachel wants me to tell her who needs help fitting in with our crew of friends!"
"Me!" My look alike happily comes over to me in her chair "I want wrecking ball!"
I nod and smile as I find the song for her.

[KARA]
We clawed, we chained, our hearts in vain
We jumped, never asking why
We kissed, I fellunderyour spell
A loveno one could deny
Don't you eversay I just walked away
I will always want you
I can't live a lie, running for my life
I will always want you
I came in like a wrecking ball
I never hit so hard in love
All I wanted was to break your walls
All you ever did was wreck me
Yeah, you, you wreck me
I put you high up in the sky
And now, you're not coming down
It slowly turned, you let me burn
And now, we're ashes on the ground
Don't you ever say I just walked away
I will always want you
I can't live a lie, running for my life
I will always want you
I came in like a wrecking ball
I never hit so hard in love
All I wanted was to break your walls
All you ever did was wreck me
I came in like a wrecking ball
Yeah, I just closed my eyes and swung
Left me crashing in a blazing fall
All you ever did was wreck me
Yeah, you, you wreck me
I never meant to start a war
I just wanted you to let me in
And instead of using force
I guess I should've let you win
I never meant to start a war
I just wanted you to let me in
I guess I should've let you win
Don't you ever say I just walked away
I will always want you
I came in like a wrecking ball
I never hit so hard in love
All I wanted was to break your walls
All you ever did was wreck me
I came in like a wrecking ball
Yeah, I just closed my eyes and swung
Left me crashing in a blazing fall
All you ever did was wreck me
Yeah, you, you wreck me
Yeah, you, you wreck me
"Who else can sing?!" Lena looks actually upset right now "Am I the only one?"
"Why are you so against singing?" Lena refuses to look at me "Lena?"
"Look my adopted mother did not appreciate music and she hated me" Lena frowns and Kara puts a hand in hers "I just...I just have always been afraid of trying you know?"
"Music can be a way to show you care" I find a song and show it to her "Follow the words ok? Just think about Kara while singing"
She sighs but nods as she hits play.
-Lena singing-
Many times I've tried to tell you
Many times I've cried alone
Always I'm surprised how well you
Cut my feelings to the bone
Don't wanna leave you really
I've invested too much time
To give you up that easy
To the doubts that complicate your mind
We belong to the light
We belong to the thunder
We belong to the sound of the words
We've both fallen under
Whatever we deny or embrace
For worse or for better
We belong, we belong
We belong together
Maybe it's a sign of weakness
When I don't know what to say
Maybe I just wouldn't know
What to do with my strength anyway
Have we become a habit?
Do we distort the facts?
Now, there's no looking forward
Now, there's no turning back
When you say
We belong to the light
We belong to the thunder
We belong to the sound of the words
We've both fallen under
Whatever we deny or embrace
For worse or for better
We belong, we belong
We belong together
Close your eyes and try to sleep now
Close your eyes and try to dream
Clear your mind and do your best
To try and wash the palette clean
We can't begin to know it
How much we really care
I hear your voice inside me
I see your face everywhere
Still you say
We belong to the light
We belong to the thunder
We belong to the sound of the words
We've both fallen under
Whatever we deny or embrace
For worse or for better
We belong, we belong
We belong together
We belong to the light
We belong to the thunder
We belong to the sound of the words
We've both fallen under
Whatever we deny or embrace
For worse or for better
We belong, we belong
We belong together
We belong to the light
We belong to the thunder
"Not bad!" Everyone applaud and Lena blushes "You will fit in wonderfully! But you do have some area for improvement"
Lena looks scared and the girls all laugh. I smile and feel eyes on me. I look and see Nia look panicked when I turn. I smile and have to hide my blush.
I still have to gain the courage to ask her out. I wonder if I can find a song for this..
