TOM'S POV
"Hahah" we laughed at a joke told by Emily.
I have to admit, for the first time I am the one laughing at jokes told by girls. Usually I'll do it and they laugh. Then they get all kissy faced and then we *ahem*
These girls are awesome and they have a huge sense of humor. They made me laugh until I felt like peeing.
Emily, Sara, Melina and Joe are their names. Joe is a foreigner studying here. The others are local.
"Hey" Sara said. "Look, its Naily" she pointed at a girl on a stage holding onto a guitar. We all fixed our eyes on this girl.
She was wearing a red dress that was up to her knees and high-cut combats boots. She had short, straight hair.
She settled herself on the high stool and checked the mike.
When she was satisfied, she said "Here's one from me. It's called Avalanche"
"Since when do you come around? And the temperature's changed, nothing's the same…." the first few lines of the lyrics were sung, followed by the strum of her guitar.
I watched her in silence. Even the girls did the same. Then Melina said "Her songs are always so good."
"Yup" the others said in unison.
"Who is she?" I asked, wanting to know.
"She's obviously a singer, but not famous. She's doesn't sell her songs. She sings freely and she sings songs that people can relate to. Her songs speak. Like a street performer, she sings everywhere. There was this one time she sang for animal cruelty and stuff like that" Melina explained.
"She was offered to do a recording but she refused" Emily continued.
"I don't get it. Why don't she? I mean a lot of people are dying to be famous. She has all the opportunity. People are offering her good money but she refuses? That's something you don't hear every day" Joe added.
The girls were right. This person is good. Hearing what they had to say, I have to agree with them.
Then the song reached to its bridge. "The bond is breaking, and it's taking over my spirit (quickly, quickly) Something's shifted have we drifted too far apart now?
If you only knew, what my heart would do for you
I'm tryna break through; don't you think it's worth the chance?
Let's leave the past; is that too much to ask?
And where do we stand?
Can we pull through this avalanche?
Can we pull through this avalanche?
The song ended and everybody was cheering. I looked around and saw Bill and Gustav over at the bar joining them too.
"Encore! Encore!" they cheered.
She sheepishly giggled and it was heard throughout the whole place. It made everyone, including me laughed too.
"You guys never fail to lift up my spirit" she said, smiling. She put her guitar down and stood up.
"So how're you guys doing tonight?" she asked.
"WOOOO" everybody chorused. I feel like I'm in a concert. It's been a while since I WENT to a concert and enjoying the music. My lucky day I guess.
"So guys, I have some news. Good news and bad news"
"OOOOOO" everybody said in suspense.
"The good news is that I have another song for you" she happily said, grinning as well.
"YAAAAAAYY"
"And the bad news is that, tonight is my last night here"
I was expecting some sort of weird response like they gave earlier but instead; they became quiet all of a sudden. It's like they disagreeing with her.
"Why" someone from the dance floor asked.
"I miss home. People back home misses me and I think it's about time for me to go back. After years, it's…. been a long time" she simply answered.
"AWWW! Can you take me with you?" that questioned made her and everybody else (including me) laugh.
"HAHA! If you were my pet I wouldn't mind" she laughed. Why does that laugh sounds so familiar? I thought.
"So since this is my last song of the night, ima keepin' it simple" she continued.
She took an electric guitar and plugged in the wire. Definitely it's going to be a rock song. Then four guys came up and settle themselves with instruments.
"This is not a goodbye song but a sort of a coming back one. Enjoy" then the music started.
She strummed her electric guitar and sang.
Homecoming; I'm coming my sweet mistake,
Summer's over hope it's not too late,
I'm pacing; impatient up in my head,
Taken back to the sidewalk were we met…
Sara took my hand "Come, I'll get you a better view." She led me through the crowed and we were in the middle of the dance floor.
I watched Naily as she sang the chorus.
I'm coming home; I'm coming home,
Did you take off while I was gone?
I missed it all; I messed you up I missed you
I'm coming home; I wanna know
When all the leaves begin to fall,
If I'm falling; falling apart; for you
She's so relaxed and I could tell that she's having fun. Something inside made me feel happy. I'm enjoying this, so much.
I cheered with everyone. I danced; I took Sara's arms and twirled her round and round.
Kinda weird huh? Dancing to a rock song, well I just felt like doing it. Then there was a guitar solo. Naily was playing it.
She's definitely an original. She twists while playing the solo. Then she laughed at what she just did. I have to meet this girl.
I'm coming home; I wanna know
When all the leaves begin to fall?
If I'm falling; falling apart for you.
Her eyes suddenly met mine. She smiled and winked. It kind of shocked me a little.
The song had ended and cheers were chorused through the whole building. I think I cheered the loudest, knowing that how much I enjoyed her performance.
Naily said her thanks and misses, and then got off the stage. Sara tapped my shoulder.
"I have to go now, I've got work tomorrow. My boss will fire my ass if I'm late again" she said.
"Haha. Okay. Oh! Thanks so much for the dance. I haven't felt this way in a long time" wait. What the hell? Am I being well mannered?
"No problem" she said. I leaned forward to kiss her but she put her finger on my lips and shook her head.
"It ain't healthy" she said simply. Then she turned around and walked away leaving me in quite a shock.
I can't believe the respond she just gave. It's not healthy? Who the hell believes that?
I made my way to Bill and as soon as I got there, he was laughing. He knew what happened. Stupid twin telepathy.
"Oh man Tom! That was classic!" Bill laughed like a crazy maniac.
"Shut up"
"Now you know not all girls are easy to get huh?" he laughed some more.
Ignoring him, I scanned around the bar. I narrowed my eyes at one corner. I grinned evilly.
"Whatever. But I bet I can get her"
