"O.K Guys. It's Naiome's turn to sing today"
"Oh great." I thought. I already knew what I was going to sing. It was a song I had written for my younger sister when she had gone into hosptal with cancer. Singing it now would probably make me cry but it was the song I knew best so I was gonna go for it
"You ready Naiome?" The teacher asked as Lauren stood in the backgound mouthing
"Good luck Nai." I smiled nodded and then started to sing
"You self destructive little girl
Pick yourself up don't blame the world
So you screwed up but your gonna be O.K.
Now call you boyfriend and apologise
You pushed him pretty far away last night
He really loves you, you just don't always love yourselF
And all this time
Oh all this time
You have had it in you
You just sometims need a push
All this time
Oh all this time
You have had it in you
You just sometimes need a push"
I was crying by now. But still I kept singing
"Think all the mean girls who pulled your hair
Are barefoot now and pregnant dear
And you write pop songs and get to travel round the world
And all this time
Oh all this time
You have had it in you
You just sometims need a push
All this time
Oh all this time
You have had it in you
You just sometimes need a push
So you've had some detours
Some stupid men
Now we know what not
To do again
Besides you lucked out
Finally
And all this time
Oh all this time
You have had it in you
You just sometims need a push
All this time
Oh all this time
You have had it in you
You just sometimes need a push"
I managed to control myself long enough to take off the headohones and get out of the recording booth before running out of the room and down into the girls toilets. I hoisted myself up onto the shelf that held the sinks curled up into a ball and sobbed into my knee's. I heard the door open but I still didn't move. I knew that due the all black scary attire they wouldn't approach me unless the knew me and the only person here who knew me in any way was..... Lauren.
"Nai? Nai don't worry." Lauren started to gently rub circles on my back attempting to soothe me
"Whatever it is you can tell me if you want to. I promise I will listen and not tell anyone if you don't want me to." I sat up slightly scaring her a bit.
"That (Sob) song." I hiccupped as she nodded incouraging me to go on
"I wrote it for my younger sister when she went into hospital with lung cancer." Laurens hand went back to rubbing comforting circles on my back
"Is your sister O.K.?" She asked her green eye's filled with concern. I just shook my head.
"She died. Age 10. Of lung cancer." I said fighting back more tears.
"Oh. Nai I"m so sorry. Don't worry. You can cry if you want to." And that I did.
Emziiee-xxx: Man poor Nai eh. I don't own the song and I didn't write it. It is all this time by Maria Mena. Its a great song.
R&R Please :)
