Okay, I admit, this fic will probably be composed if mostly, if not entirely, H.I.M. songs, since they've got the best love rock that I can think of right now.

I'm not gonna put a god damn disclaimer every fucking chapter, so don't expect one.

Chapter II

Circle of Fear

Xedrin looked over the crowd, the next song to play already fresh in his mind, and decided to talk to them a little.

"You guys doing good out there?"

The crowd erupted into cheers in reply.

"Great, good, alright. Anyways, this next song I thought of playing tonight in response to the previous sorrow of a dear friend of mine, after a breakup."

At this, Whitney knew exactly what he was talking about: the day he comforted her after he caught Roxas cheating on her with Naminé. He came to her shortly after she fell to her knees crying, and he soothed her as best he could.

"I found her crying in the middle of the hallway, and I just couldn't ignore the fact that such a sweet angel was hurt so badly," she smiled at this, "I did what I could to help, but I didn't think that what I did was enough. So I turned to one of my friends for advice, and this song contains that advice."

He drew in a breath after his friends began to play.

"Heartache is knocking on her door

Shadows dance outside her window

Tears keep falling on the floor

As the world around her crumbles

If you want to save her,

Then first you have to save yourself

If you want to free her from the hurt,

Don't do it with your pain

If you want to see her smile again,

Don't show her you're afraid,

'Cause your circle of fear is the same

Love can be as cold as grave

A one-way ticket to endless sorrow

An empire of gentle hate

Today without tomorrow

If you want to save her,

Then first you have to save yourself

If you want to free her from the hurt,

Don't do it with your pain

If you want to see her smile again,

Don't show her you're afraid

'Cause your circle of fear is the same

It's the circle of regret

The circle of hate

The circle of death

Your circle of fear is the same

(A.N. The next few verses are said by Xedrin and Demyx, and will be labeled respectively)

Xedrin: "If you want to save her,

Then first you have to save yourself"

Demyx: "If you want to save her"

Xedrin: "If you want to free her from the hurt,

Don't do it with your pain"

Demyx: "If you want to free her"

Xedrin: "If you want to see her smile again,

Don't show her you're afraid"

Demyx: "If you want to see her"

Xedrin: "'Cause your circle of fear is the same"

Your circle of fear is the same

Your circle of fear is the same

Your circle of fear is the same

Your circle of fear is the same

Your circle of fear is the same

Your circle of fear is the same

Your circle of fear is the same"

Xedrin raised his arms to shoulder height as he walked around the stage.

"Thank you guys for having us here tonight! We're gonna have a great show here at Destiny High!"

And the crowd roared for the band, and Whitney cheered for Xedrin.

Somewhat short chappy, but I'm more concerned with the songs written than with the length of the chapter.
