Chapter 10
Songs. Lots of 'em.
"What songs do you know?" Yumi and Ulrich and Odd and Jeremy were prepping Adain for the audition for the talent show, which was in two weeks.
Adain started to count them off on her fingers. When she got to ten, she went backwards. "Kryptonite. Dead to the World. I Love Rock and Roll. Escape. All-Star. Happy Birthday. The Saga Begins. Iris. Hero. Trouble. Family Portrait. Happy Ending. Amish Paradise. Big Yellow Taxi Umm that's all I can think of at this moment." Ulrich raised an eyebrow at her.
"Which one do you like best?" Yumi asked.
"Family Portrait, Happy Ending, and Dead to the World."
"Pick one."
"Umm Happy Ending, by Avril Lavigne."
"Ok. Sing it."
" So much for my happy ending
Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh...
Let's talk this over
It's not like we're dead
Was it something I did?
Was it something You said?
Don't leave me hanging
In a city so dead
Held up up so high
On such a breakable thread
You were all the things I thought I knew
And I thought we could be
Chorus:
You were everything, everything that I wanted
We were meant to be, supposed to be, but we lost it
And all the memories, so close to me, just fade away
All this time you were pretending
So much for my happy ending
Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh...
You've got your dumb friends
I know what they say
They tell you I'm difficult
But so are they
But they don't know me
Do they even know you?
All the things you hide from me
All the shit that you do
You were all the things I thought I knew
And I thought we could be
You were everything, everything that I wanted
We were meant to be, supposed to be, but we lost it
And all the memories, so close to me, just fade away
All this time you were pretending
So much for my happy ending
Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh...
It's nice to know you were there
Thanks for acting like you cared
And making me feel like I was the only one
It's nice to know we had it all
Thanks for watching as I fall
And letting me know we were done
You were everything, everything that I wanted
We were meant to be, supposed to be, but we lost it
And all the memories, so close to me, just fade away
All this time you were pretending
So much for my happy ending
You were everything, everything that I wanted
We were meant to be, supposed to be, but we lost it
And all the memories, so close to me, just fade away
All this time you were pretending
So much for my happy ending
Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh"
"Not bad." Ulrich commented. Yumi was still drowning in the song. Odd looked impressed, and Jeremy was staring wide-eyed at Adain.
"" was all he'd say.
