Chapter: 18 I Walk Alone
Rouge was walking up the stairs to Amy's room. She reached it and knocked on the door. "Amy come on we have a show to do today."
"I'll be their in a second." Amy said as she stood looking in the mirror. She was wearing the same outfit she wore during their fist appearance. The group was performing at a music festival that was being held in town. Amy walked down the stairs and then towards the door. The girls were meeting the others in town. Amy walked out to the car that was sitting on the curve and got in. She stared out the window as it pulled onto the street. Rouge was driving and Cream was sitting in the backseat. None of them spoke the air was filled with discomforting silence. Finally they got there. The car was parked a block or two away from the street they'd be performing on. They were lucky to find a place to park at all because so many people had shown up to see them sing.
The three got out of the car. Rouge and Amy helped Cream get her drum stuff onto a cart and then started walking toward the concert area with their instruments. Rouge was the first to reach the stage as she plopped her guitar case on top of it and then sat down on the stairs. Cream had walked past her and was on the stage setting up her drums. Amy didn't even make it to the stage when she was suddenly passed by the boys of the group. They were silent in their passing but of coarse the last one to pass her was the one who caught her eye. Shadow went by without as much as a glance in her direction. His neglect brought a little reminisce of tears to Amy's eyes it even caused her to drop her guitar case. Shadow and the other guys began setting up without saying much of anything.
Although the group was falling apart they looked like they were as tight as ever on stage. Shadow was the first to take the mike. "What's up Station Square!" He received loud screams from the audience. "I'm gonna get this started with a song called 'I walk alone'."
I walk a lonely road
The only one I have ever know
Don't know where it goes
But it's only me and I walk alone
I walk this empty street
On the boulevard of broken dreams
Where the city sleeps
And I'm the only one and I walk alone
I walk alone
I walk alone
I walk a
My shadow's only one that walks beside me
My sallow heart's the only thing that's beaten
Sometimes I wish someone out their will find me
Till then I walk alone
I walk alone
I walken down the line that divides me somewhere in my mind
On the edge where I walk alone
I walk alone
Amy looked Shadow in the eye from backstage she knew he could see her it was obvious from the firm glare in his eyes as he sung his next verse.
Read between the lines what's fucked up and everything's all right
Check my vital signs no I'm still alive and I walk alone
I walk alone
I walk alone
I walk a
My shadow's only one that walks beside me
My sallow heart's the only thing that's beaten
Sometimes I wish someone out their will find me
Till then I walk alone
I walk alone
I walk a
I walk this empty street
On the boulevard of broken dreams
Where the city sleeps
And I'm the only one and
I walk a
My shadow's only one that walks beside me
My sallow heart's the only thing that's beaten
Sometimes I wish someone out their will find me
Till then I walk alone
The cheering was almost endless as Shadow bowed and step aside for Amy to take the lead mike. They exchanged a slight glance at Shadows expense he couldn't avoid it Amy looked so hard at him that he couldn't help but look back. Amy stood at the mike as the reminder Tucker had given her came to mind. He had instructed her to sing a certain song and she knew the consequences for not doing as she was told. "Okay now it's my turn and I gotta song that'll turn up the volume too!"
Here's the thing we started out friends
It was cool but it was all pretend
Yea yea since you've been gone
You're dedicated you took the time
It wasn't long till I called ya mine
Yea yea since you been gone
And all you'd ever hear me say
Was how I picture me with you
That's all you ever hear me say
But since you been gone
I can breath for the fist time
I'm so moven on
Yea yea
Thanks to you
Now I get what I want
Since you been gone
How can I put you put me on
I even fell for that stupid love song
Amy's face was plastered with a fake simile while her heart was being torn apart from the inside out.
Yea yea since you been gone
How come I never hear you say
I just wanna be with you
Guess you never felt that way
But since you been gone
I can breath for the first time
I'm so moven on
Yea yea
Thanks to you now I get what I want
Since you been gone
You had your chance ya blew it
Out of sight out of mind
Shut cha mouth I just can't take it
Again and again and again and AGAIN!
Since you been gone
Since you been gone
I can breath for the first time
I'm so moven on
Yea yea
Thanks to you now I get what I want
I can breath for the first time
I'm so moven on
Yea yea
Thanks to you now I get you should know
That I get what I want
Since you been gone
Since you been gone
Since you been gone
The crowd cheered even louder as Amy held the mike high in the air signaling for them to scream louder.
The whole concert went over well. The band had more fans than ever and they were in quit a sense on their way to the top. Shadow and Amy had stayed apart for a long time. The other lovers met with each other on some occasions to talk of what had happened. The question on everyone's mind though was 'what happens next?'
