Okay everyone so yeah here's the next chapter for a while. For about two weeks I'm not going to have access to a computer.
Jess POV
Flying so high in the air, above clouds and all you feel is sun… you just can't describe the feeling. I remembered the first time when I flew. I was six and a little scared. I'd just seen Shay take off and land but I was still a little scared. Suddenly my mom picked me up and flung me into the air. My dad caught me and flung me higher. Suddenly my wings were open and I was flying.
"What are you thinking about?" Blade asked me. We were flying over Indiana and all I could see on the ground was miles of flat farmland.
"Just wondering what New York's going to be like." I replied pasting a fake smile on my face. Actually I was worried about our parents. Where were they, what were they doing, and were they okay?
"Jess you forget that I can tell when some ones lying. So what are you really thinking about?"
Crap I'd forgotten about that. Some one save me please.
"Um well…"
"Hey Shay can we land, I'm hungry."
Thank you Josh.
"Yeah I'm hungry too." Eliza agreed. Those two seemed to burn calories the fastest out of everyone.
Shay looked at the ground for a second and pointed towards a small patch of trees. We landed and ate. I tried to avoid Blade, I didn't want to talk and I knew that he knew I was lying. Yet I just haaaaaddddddd to sit and talk to my brother of all people.
"You seem a little off Jess, are you okay?" Shay asked me once he had finished with four granola bars.
Great, I hated to lie but I didn't want to sound like I was complaining. I just missed my mom and dad.
A day passed and we were finally to the suburbs of New York. Quiet, dark and a perfect place to remain anonymous, just like our parents had taught. We stopped at a small town and Chellsie saw a restaurant that she thought was fun. It looked crowded and I didn't want to go.
"Please Shay, please. It looks soooooo neat and I'm kind of hungry again and please." Rush, Blade and I were shaking our heads no behind Chellsie. Eliza, Rose, Josh and Casey were looking at the restaurant, and shaking their heads yes. Then… Chellsie gave Shay bambi eyes, a trick her mother taught her.
"Ugh, okay let's go."
Shay led the way to the restaurant. It looked to be a little Italian place, cozy, warm and crowded. We stepped in and a waitress, maybe seventeen years old with dirty brown curly hair, showed us to a booth in the back.
"What can I get for you tonight?" The waitress asked us, batting her eyes at Rush.
"Just water please." Shay answered. The waitress walked away a little miffed. "Look guys regular sized meals. We've got to blend in."
Blend in, right. I felt twitchy and nervous. Sweat was breaking out on my forehead and I wanted to jump up on the table and fly away. Even though we had never been locked up in cages some how, at least I was, we were still really claustrophobic.
Our food came and Shay paid in advance with the credit card dad had given him before they left. Suddenly the lights dimmed and in the far left corner a man stood on a little stage with some mechanical looking equipment. The floor in front of the stage cleared.
"Okay everyone knows what tonight is, Karaoke night. So the first person the sing, I'll pick and then the rest of the night fill out the paper on your tables and turn them in for a chance to sing." The man on the table said.
We would have bolted at that moment if it weren't for the fact that the man started to come directly back to our table. Crap.
"Well it seems we have some visitors tonight. Why don't you come up and sing." The man said looking at me. Chellsie, Eliza and Rose all squealed with glee. Then when I politely said no instead of punching the guy in the face, he started to crowd in a round of applause.
"Rachel just do it." Shay said to me, using a fake name because of how close the guy was to our table. He quickly glanced around the restaurant, everyone was looking at me.
"Fine!" Getting up I grabbed the microphone and stalked to the stage. Some one showed me how to pick a song, and then the music started.
"You never go, you're always here suffocating me, under my skin, I cannot run away, fading slowly.
I'd give it all to you, letting go of me, reaching as I fall, I know it's already over now, nothing left to loose, loving you again, I know it's already over, already over now.
My best defense, running away from you, I can't resist, take all you want from me, breaking slowly.
I'd give it all to you, letting go of me, reaching as I fall, I know it's already over now, nothing left to loose, loving you again, I know it's already over, already over now.
Your all I'm reaching for, it's already over now, all I'm reaching for, already over now.
I'd give it all to you, I offer up my soul, it's already over, already over now.
Give it all to you, letting go of me, reaching as I fall, I know it's already over now, nothing left to loose, loving you again, I know it's already over now, it's already over now, it's already over already over now."
The song ended and the restaurant erupted into applause. I didn't like how I was literally in the spot light, yet somehow it just felt right.
So yeah the usual review and all. Oh and the song in this chapter is called Already Over by a group called RED.
