Chapter 16: Getting A Song Out

Marissa's POV

As soon as we walked in the door Taissa went nuts on Dal.

"You mother fucker, how could you do that to her!" she shouted angrily as she pushed him into the wall.

"What are you talking about crazy?" he asked as he took off his tie and tossed it on the living room floor.

"Don't play dumb with me you bastard, I know you cheated on my sister!" Tai screamed even louder.

Dally's face sank and he turned as white as a ghost. He looked at me and came closer. "You don't really believe her do you?"

That was it, that was all I needed to hear to make the tears that were welling up in my eyes begin to fall again.

"I saw you Dallas, I saw you making out with that red headed girl. You can't lie now, there's no point. You did what you did, and you can't change it." I cried, my voice sounding emotionless, and ran upstairs to Tai's and my room.

I locked the door as soon as I got in and collapsed on my bed, crying hysterically into a pillow. I was such a fool to think that a cold hearted prick like Dallas could ever love me. He was just using me for sex, and when he got it he didn't want anything to do with me anymore, so he went to the party to find someone new. Just then three loud banging noises hit my door.

"Marissa open the door…please." It was Dally.

"Go away." I sobbed quietly.

"Just let me explain babe, it wasn't what you think." he pleaded.

"What, did the red head have something caught in her throat and you were trying to fish it out with your tongue!" I shouted sarcastically.

He was silent.

"Just go away!" I cried.

Dal banged his fist against the door in anger, and I heard him walk back downstairs.

Taissa's POV

I was so pissed at Dally for breaking my little sister's heart. If I didn't know how much it would hurt her to see something happen to him, I'd kill him right now and throw his body in the lake.

Oddly enough, he came stomping downstairs angrily at the same moment I was plotting his death in my mind.

"I take it she didn't let you in." I said with a satisfied smirk. I knew Maury too well to know that she wouldn't take his evil ass back after what he did. And I was proud of her for standing her ground, and not going weak at the knees cause of some sweet talkin' fictional character from a book.

"Shut up Tai." He muttered and sat on the couch.

Soda gave me a give me a moment alone with him look and I got up from my seat on the arm of my fathers lazy boy chair with Soda, and headed up the stairs to Maury's and my room.

I knocked on the door, but she didn't open it. I only heard soft sobbing coming from inside and even though I knew she probably wanted to be alone, I was determined to help her through this.

I knocked again, this time louder. "C'mon Mar, it's me. Let me in." I said gently.

I heard her get up from the bed, and then unlock the door. I slowly opened it, to see her already in her pajama's laying on the bed, listening to Show Me The Meaning Of Being Lonely, by The Backstreet Boys.

I laid next to her on the other side of the bed. "Maury I-" I started to say, but she cut me off quick.

"Just say it, just say I told you so!" she screamed as tears ran down her face. "You were hoping for this to happen and it did! Are you happy now?"

"No I wasn't hoping for it to happen Marissa! It's just I know from experience how guys are with you, and this was what I was afraid of! I screamed back at her.

I just can't stand to see you in pain, cause when you're in pain, so am I." I said gently and rubbed her head.

"I know." she said quietly and gave me a hug. Marissa started to cry hysterically in my shoulder, and like I said before, seeing her like this made me want to cry too…so that's exactly what I did.

Twenty minutes later, we calmed down a bit and I grabbed my acoustic guitar from the corner and began to strum a melody. Marissa then picked up the pad of paper and a pen that was on the nightstand, and wrote down a few lyrics as she sang them.

"Seems like just yesterday, you were a part of me…I used to stand so tall, I used to be so strong."

"Hey that's really good Mar, keep going."

She did, and by the end of the night, we had a hot new song that I knew was gonna be a hit. We fell asleep at about 1:30 AM, which was very bad since we had a performance early the next morning. We are suppose to sing the song I wrote about her and Dallas, but I know it would be too hard for her to do, and this one suits the situation much better.

The Next Day…

Marissa's POV

Tai woke me up early the next morning, er well 11:30 AM, which is still very early to me, especially if your boyfriend cheated on you the night before, right before your very eyes.

"Five more minutes." I said sleepily.

"No, now." Tai said sternly as she stripped me of my nice warm blanket.

"Fine...bitch…" I said sticking my tongue out at her and getting up from the bed.

I took a shower, got dressed and then did my hair and make up.

"C'mon, c'mon let's go or we'll be late, Chris and Mace are already there!" Taissa nagged.

I quickly ran down the stairs and went to leave, when I realized that the house was quiet and very empty, which is very unusual due to the fact that we have five boys staying with us.

"C'mon Maury!" Tai hollered as she pulled me by the arm out the house and into the Lexus.

I got in and put on my seatbelt as she started the car. "Where's the guys?"

"They're at The Way Out, waiting for us." Tai informed me as she started the car and drove like a bat out of hell to The Way Out.

'When we got there, surprisingly in one piece, we ran in there just as they were introducing us on the stage.

I came up to the microphone and who was in the front row but Dallas. My heart started beating faster, scared at what he would think of our new song. But before I could even consider backing out, Taissa started to speak.

"Marissa and I are going to sing a new song we wrote last night called "Behind These Hazel Eyes."

"1…2..3.." Chris yelled hitting his drumsticks together, and the band began to play.

Marissa- Seems like just yesterday
You were a part of me
I used to stand so tall
I used to be so strong

Your arms around me tight
Everything, it felt so right
Unbreakable, like nothin' could go wrong…

Marissa+Taissa- Now I can't breathe
No, I can't sleep
I'm barely hanging on

All- Here I am, once again
I'm torn into pieces
Can't deny it, can't pretend
Just thought you were the one
Broken up, deep inside
But you won't get to see the tears I cry
Behind these hazel eyes

Marissa- I told you everything
Opened up and let you in
You made me feel alright
For once in my life
Now all that's left of me
Is what I pretend to be
So together, but so broken up inside

Maury+Tai- Cause I can't breathe
No, I can't sleep
I'm barely hanging' on

All- Here I am, once again
I'm torn into pieces
Can't deny it, can't pretend
Just thought you were the one
Broken up, deep inside
But you won't get to see the tears I cry
Behind these hazel eyes

Marissa- Swallow me then spit me out
For hating you, I blame myself
Seeing you it kills me now
No, I don't cry on the outside
Anymore...

All-Here I am, once again
I'm torn into pieces
Can't deny it, can't pretend ( Maury-Can't deny it…)
Just thought you were the one
Broken up, deep inside
But you won't get to see the tears I cry
Behind these hazel eyes

Maury-Here I am, once again
I'm torn into pieces
Can't deny it, can't pretend
Just thought you were the one
Broken up, deep inside
But you won't get to see the tears I cry
Behind these hazel eyes

When we finished the song, we got a very powerful applause, and the usual one or two guys telling me and Tai to "take it off."

I walked off the stage and the first one to come up to me was Dallas. "Hey babe." He said trying to make casual conversation, but I stayed quiet.

"Can I talk to you for a minute?" he asked.

I was about to agree, when I felt someone's hand on my shoulder and say "Haven't you done enough ,cant you just leave her the fuck alone."

I knew that voice sounded familiar, so I turned around to see who it was. To my surprise it was Chris.

Okay, I hope u all love this chappie, and just to make it absolutely clear…ahem….NEITHER I NOR KRISSY OWN THE SONG BEHIND THESE HAZEL EYES. IT IS KELLY CLARKSON'S SONG, NOT OURS! Ok that should do it, don't forget to review!
