Chapter 12: Anywhere But here
Cyborg made it to the Café at about 6:50. When he got inside he couldn't believe what he saw. Shadow was sitting at the far corner of the room sipping a soda. I can't let her see me! Thought Cyborg. He hurried to a nearby table and covered his face with a menu.
A waitress walked up to Cyborg. "Anything I can get you?" she asked, sounding bored.
Cyborg looked up at her. "Um, I'll have a hamburger." He said hurriedly. He looked back up at Shadow. She still hadn't noticed him and was going up onstage to sing. She carried with her a large wooden guitar case. When she opened it, he could see a pretty guitar cushioned by green velvet. She picked up the guitar and started to play "Anywhere but here." Then she sang:
When I'm in a crowd,
Or on an island by myself,
Silent or too loud,
Wishing' I was somewhere else,
And I can't believe, you hit me fast and hard,
Hen you turn to me and say,
Never change the way you are.
Trying to catch your eye,
Things will never look the same.
Now I can't deny,
You're the moth and I'm the flame.
There I go again,
I should walk before I run,
How can I explain?
I can't stop what you've begun!
I'm, falling through the door!
Flying cross the floor,
When you look at me, suddenly it's clear!
Your, burning up my dreams!
Crazy as it seems,
I don't wanna be,
Anywhere But Here!
Anywhere But Here!
What goes on inside,
Is a mystery no doubt.
Rollercoaster ride!
I may never work it out,
Here's the brand new me!
Skates around and floats on air!
I'm a sight to see!
Rainbow colors in my hair!
You have set me free!
The one who gets me there!
I'm, falling through the door!
Flying cross the floor,
When you look at me, suddenly it's clear!
Your, burning up my dreams!
Crazy as it seems,
I don't wanna be,
Anywhere But Here!
Anywhere But Here!
Cyborg stared at her wide eyed. Wow, she sings good! Like an angel! He thought. But I cant let her know I think that.
When Shadow was done and had gathered all her things together, she walked towards the door. Unfortunately, she had to pass Cyborg to get there. When she did pass, he gave her a look that plainly said, 'Nice. Think you can get any worse?' She shot Cyborg a dirty look, and ran out, guitar swung on her back, flying off into the night sky. She was crying.
Now Cyborg felt horrible. He felt more than horrible, he felt like scum. It has to be done. He thought. For who? Said a little voice at the back of his head. Her or you? Cyborg didn't want to answer that question.
