Wow...I'm stupid. I just realized that I said that you could hear Chase's guitar, but, what I really meant was that you could hear Finn's guitar...Silly me...anyway...the moment you've all been waiting for... also thought I would clarify that when Will says that he went after his mother, he means that Wickham tried to steal the only thing that Will had left of his mother, the ring.

I, the author of this story, do NOT own Pride and Prejudice. (Just so you know)


Previously...

Next thing anyone knew, the curtain was raised again, and the first strains of Chase's (Idiot...Finn) guitar could be heard, followed shortly by the opening drum beat. Soon, Will's deep voice entered the mix. Liz stood in the spot that Will had vacated only moments earlier to watch. Will seemed totally at home on the stage. So unlike the vulnerable, drunk man from earlier that day. The set continued, and the fans cheered with renewed vigor. Then, the last song came, and something different happened.


Will nodded back at Finn and Chase, it was time. The lights on the stage slowly dimmed to black, and a spotlight popped onto Will.

"All right guys. Bear with me now, but you're about to see something completely new. And, no, this does not mean that the band is breaking up, or that I'm starting a solo career." Will said, with a small nervous laugh. "It's called "Live and Lie" Will then started to strum out a haunting melody on his guitar. He sang through the first verse, and Liz found her full attention centered his words. The way they flowed reminded her of her own thoughts. But it was when he reached the chorus, that Lizzy was truly amazed.

"Leave me

Leave me

Leave me alone with my shattered dream

Alone

Alone

Alone with this decimated promise

With the fucked up mess I've made

Let me live and lie amongst you"

Will had begun the song timidly, from fear of making a total fool of himself, but as he sang, the words he had written straight from his heart filled him with a sense of calm. He stopped seeing the audience; all he knew was the music. Up and down the melody came easily from his skilled fingers. His voice took on a life of its own, spinning his sorrowful tale. He was putting his entire career on the line, but it was more than that. It was his whole self that he was thrusting out for everyone to see. He finished the slow, mournful song, bowed, and quickly rushed from the stage.

Will's stunning performance followed by his hurried exit, had the crowd in shock. In fact, Will was long gone before they reacted with roaring cheers. The fans loved him. However, no one could find Will, again. He was beginning to annoy people with his frequent disappearances. In the rush to find Will, no one noticed that Liz was also missing.


I know, I know, this is really short, but it's all I've got right now, and since I haven't been the best about updating, I thought I would post it as is.
