CHAPTER#6 A VOICE STUCK IN YOUR HEAD.
RIKKI'S POV.
We had all left Mime's room, well, almost all of us left. Dally stayed in there. I had'nt heard anything crash or him scream for help so I guessed everything was alright. Most of the guys went home. Johnny, Soda, Two-Bit, and Dally were still here. I had the suspicsion that they were spending the night. Poor Johnny didn't want to go home and I didn't blame him.
"Did Mime write that song?" Johnny asked me.
"Yeah she did. We've only ever heard it once though. She likes to keep it to herself ya know?" I said.
"Yeah. Did you ever write any songs?" He asked me.
"Yeah I did. A few, but I have one I favor most." I grinned priding myself at those songs.
"Can...can I hear it?" He asked nervously.
I thought about it for a moment. I never really liked anyone to hear it. Of coarse the girls heard it. I wasn't like Mime though. I didn't get totally ticked at someone hearing it. But I had to trust them to let them hear it. I guess I must have trusted Johnny though.
"Sure. Follow me." I said getting up and leading him to my room.
I shut the door and locked it tight. Johnny immediatly looked around my room and noticed the blood red color on the walls, and the green and red sheets. Like Mime I had some of the pictures I had drawn up on the walls followed by a few posters of my favorite bands.
"Nice room. Why'd you paint it red?" Johnny asked.
"Two reasons. One, red is a very sexy color. Two it's an energetic color. What better place to have that then in your bedroom?" I sighed happily which got a look from Johnny.
"Anywho. Let me set up my keyboard and i'll play it for you." I said quickly going to set up my keyboard.
I had to rummage arounf my room a bit to find the lyrics and sheet musci. but after tearing apart my closet...
"Found it!" I cried truphintly with the papers over my head skipping to the keyboard.
"You have to promise on your life by death of sex that you won't laugh at my song." I said seriously to Johnny.
"I promise." He shuckled at the way I said it.
"Alright then. Here goes nothin'. It's called, 'Can you hear me now?'." I said starting to play the song.
The song pretty much gets started off and a fast and angry pace. Thats why I loved it so much.
(A.N. - means lyric is caried out. means begin and end to chorus.)
"I'm asking- you,
if I can do this too.
I'm wondering- why,
You don't even bat your eyes." I sang softly then picked up the pace and sang the next few lines angrily.
"Cuz no- ones- listening,
no- one- cares,
so stop your- bitching,
stop your tears-.
Save your breath,
save your time,
save yourself,
no it's not alright.
tehr oom is turning- red,
can you hear me now i'm- dead-!" I sang out then returned to the normal pace of the song.
"I say i'll do it this time,
you don't even look- just say it's fine-.
You don't hear- me when I say i'm done,
Your not listening- when I say i'll run-." I sang out slowly but angrily then began singing the next lyrics a little more quickly.
"Don't tell me i'm wrong,
When you know i'm right,
Your not listening,
i'm not alright-!" I sang out then retuned to the normal pace of the song.
"The blade- is so very cold,
But my- blood, is so fucking hot,
this- is getting old,
this- has gotta stop-." I sang out angrily. This song always made me so made with the memories it brought back.
"Cuz no- ones- listening,
no- one- cares,
so stop your- bitching,
stop your tears-.
Save your breath,
save your time,
save yourself,
no it's not alright.
the room is turning- red,
can you hear me now i'm- dead-!" I sang out then returned to the normal pace of the song.
"I've gotta get out,
I need to get help,
your making this all wrong,
you won't miss me when i'm gone!" I sang out hitting the keys harder the slowing back to the normal pace.
"Open- your ears to me,
listen- to what i'm sayin'
don't turn- your back- on me,
can't- you- see- that i'm dyin'" I sang out loud then almost in a whisper for the next line.
"Can you hear me now i'm dead?" I whispered then played the small piano chorus that sounded like a demented music box.
"I can never come back now,
can you hear my voice clearly now?" I sang out softly then went back to the normal pace.
"I hope it haunts you to the grave,
I wish I could give back what you gave." I sang angrily but somewhat slowly.
"Cuz no- ones- listening,
no- one- cares,
so stop your- bitching,
stop your tears-.
Save your breath,
save your time,
save yourself,
no it's not alright.
the room is turning- red,
can you hear me now i'm- dead-!" I sang out then returned to the normal pace of the song.
"Can you hear me now i'm dead?
Can you hear me now i'm dead?" I sang slowly and softly in a lullaby way.
"Cuz no- ones- listening,
no- one- cares,
so stop your- bitching,
stop your tears-.
Save your breath,
save your time,
save yourself,
no it's not alright.
the room is turning- red,
can you hear me now i'm- dead-!" I sang out.
"Cuz no- ones- listening,
no- one- cares,
so stop your- bitching,
stop your tears-.
Save your breath,
save your time,
save yourself,
no it's not alright.
the room is turning- red,
can you hear me now i'm- dead-!" I sang out then let the music slow back to the demented music box sound.
"I hope you can hear me now i'm dead." I sang the words slowly and ended the song.
There was silence for a minute, I composed myself by then. That song always made me remember the bad times, the times before I ran away. Before I got out.
"That was beautiful." Johnny said in awe.
"You think? Thanks. I like it. I just don't ever think i'll play it for a live audience." I laughed nervously.
"I also think...umm.." Johnny stumbled with his words.
I sat down next to him.
"What?" I asked innocently.
"It's just that. The song...and...I think...you..." He still couldn't get it out.
I leaned forward and kissed him lightly.
"I like you to." I smiled.
Johnny couldn't get much out after that. And we were both pretty worn out. So we went to sleep in my room. He offered to sleep on the floor.
"Nonsense. No man of mine is sleeping on that thing. Do you know what kind of germs are on my floor?" I asked seriously.
"No? What kind?" He asked slipping under the comforter.
"I dunno, I was hoping you would." I laughed.
After a few more jokes the laughing finally died done and we were off to sleep.
