"Numb"
I'm tired of being what you want me to be
Feeling so faithless lost under the surface
Don't know what you're expecting of me
Put under the pressure of walking in your shoes
(Caught in the undertow just caught in the undertow)
Every step I take is another mistake to you
(Caught in the undertow just caught in the undertow)
[Chorus]
I've become so numb I can't feel you there
I've become so tired so much more aware
I've becoming this all I want to do
Is be more like me and be less like you
Can't you see that you're smothering me
Holding too tightly afraid to lose control
Cause everything that you thought I would be
Has fallen apart right in front of you
(Caught in the undertow just caught in the undertow)
Every step that I take is another mistake to you
(Caught in the undertow just caught in the undertow)
And every second I waste is more than I can take
[Chorus]
repeat
And I know
I may end up failing too
But I know
You were just like me with someone disappointed in you
[Chorus]
repeat
[Chorus]
I've become so numb I can't feel you there
Is everything what you want me to be
I've become so numb I can't feel you there
Is everything what you want me to be

"I thinks it's over that hill once you go through all of those trees." Diane said glancing up from her road map.
"Yeah, I'm pretty sure of that, seeing how there's only one road leading to our cabins. Plus, that sign right there is an added bonus." Malcolm said pointing to the large wood sign to the left of theVan.
"Shut it, if that's how you're going to be then you might be laying on the floor tonight." Diane said crossing her arms across her chest."
"Come on, I was just messing with you." Malcolm laughed. He then kissed her quickly on the cheek and focused his attention back on the road.
[Davis pov]
It was starting to feel a bit hot in the Van, so I decided I would take off my
jacket. This time Matt was sitting beside me and Tk and Tai were in the seat in front of us laugh their asses off at the older folks.
I have no idea really why Matt would choose to sit beside me, I mean come on, we have really nothing in common besides the fact that we both like music. So any ways I was almost out of my jacket sleeve when I saw that my black armband was missing, revealing all of my scars. Major slip up. I decide to play it cool. Trying not to attract attention to myself, I quickly pulled my jacket back on. Great, now Matt is staring at me like I've got something on my face. Hmm... maybe I do? I think I accidentally hit him while I was putting my jacket back on. It was highly impossible that he saw something, I mean he was looking at Tk and Tai the whole time right? I decide that I didn't really need to stress myself out right now so I picked up my music and stuff that I had lying around in the seat.
We finally got to cabin 15 where we were supposed to stay. Mr. Ishida parked the Van into the long stone engraved driveway. I got out the Van and glanced at the snow-covered ground. I saw a blue sports car in the driveway, which Tai was already claiming as his own since he was the only one of us 'youngings' that could drive. I diverted my attention away from him and back to the cabin. This place was amazing! The sun was shining... granted it was cold, but the cabin was huge!
Everyone quickly found rooms and put their stuff in them. Sadly there
weren't enough rooms for everyone. My mom and Mr. Ishida shared a
room, Tai and Kari's parents shared another, while Kari and her friend shared a room, leaving me, Tk, Matt, and Tai all to share a room. (The room with the bunk beds). Of course I complained to my mom about this and she said if I didn't like it I could sleep on the couch. She pulled me away from everyone and into the kitchen area.
"Now Davis, I hate to say this, but please try to stay out of trouble. I know
how your imagination likes to run wild, the last thing I need is for you to cause
a ruckus. Don't let your father's poor behavior rub off on you. You better
stay in line, if I hear anyone complain about you causing some kind of destruction I'm going to be very disappointed in you. I believe you will hold up the family name. Now go catch up with your friends and have fun."
I nodded mutely and returned to my friends. They were out in the front area deciding on what they wanted to do. I walked over near them and sat on the couch. Sometimes I just don't feel like talking. Although when I don't people might think something is wrong because they're use to hearing
me go on about nothing. What I don't get is why they care if I don't talk, it's not as if they listen to me when I do.
"Actually..." Tai started, "I think we should play some pranks! But, we have to play them on people we don't know, and since we don't know anyone, that means much more people play our pranks upon!"
"I don't know if that's really a good idea Tai." Matt said casting him a nervous glance.
"Come on Matt, I promise it won't be too bad...!"
"I don't know..." Matt trailed off.
"Where's your adventurous side, I know it's somewhere." Tai said messing up the blonde's hair.
"Hey!" Matt yelped surprised while he tried to fix his hair. "Not the hair, how many times do I have to tell you this?!" Matt yelled glaring at Tai.
Tai gave him a what did I do look. Matt just rolled his eyes. I shifted on the couch so that I was watching them. I know I am being a bit anti-social. I don't care though. I stared at my jacket sleeves, I had put my wristbands back on as soon as I got in the house. Sometimes I wish I hadn't started doing it, but it's like I've become sort of addicted to it. Now it's not to the point where I do it everyday anymore. Sometimes I don't even feel like doing it. I guess that's the first step to recovery.
"Haha! You know Yama, you worry a little too much about your hair!" Tk laughed.
"Shut up you little rodent!" Matt said throwing a pillow from the couch at his brother's head.
"Ouch... hey, who threw that pillow at me?!" Kari said as she picked up the pillow that had just hit her in the stomach.
"It wasn't me!" Matt semi sang as he jumped off the couch to hide behind Tk.
"Sure, whatever." Kari replied placing the pillow back on the couch. "Your lucky I'm feeling nice today or you would have found that pillow coming upside your head." Kari laughed glaring playfully
at Matt.
"Kari, we're going to the main building around here, do you and Mara want to come?" Tk asked nicely.
"Yeah, we've got nothing else to do. Let me get my shoes." Kari said as she gracefully ran up the stairs to her room to retrieve her shoes.
"Ya'll inform them of our plans when we get into the car." Tai said looking directly at Davis and Tk. "I need to go find my keys." With that Tai departed upstairs to his room to find his keys.
Seconds later Kari and Tai both emerged from the stairs and the two grab their coats while the other three waited outside for them.
"I call shot gun!" Matt yelled, briskly walking over to the passenger's side of the car.
"Hey no fair, we didn't even get a chance." Tk complained frowning.
"Too bad." Matt replied rolling his eyes.
Davis walked over to the other side of the car. He tried to open up the doors, but found they were locked.
"Hurry up Tai, it's freezing out here!" Matt complained while rubbing his arms together trying to get warm.
"I'm coming!" Tai yelled exasperated as he jogged over to the driveway unlocking the doors to his brand new blue sport car, it had a blue neon light on the bottom of it and nice shiny rims, to put it simply, this car was Tai's pride and joy. As he like to call it, his 'baby'. Not to mention, they had only rented it for the trip.
So now everyone was in the car and we were headed for the main cabin. I already had a good prank up my sleeve already, I just needed to convince on of them to act it out. Tai pulled the car into one of the many parking spaces and then the six of us made our way into the main cabin. We got on the elevator and went near the hotel rooms. Across from the rooms was the game room. It wasn't really an arcade or anything, but a lot could be done in there.
[Normal pov]
"Alright group huddle." Matt said. "Now Tai and I have decided that this will be kind of like a truth or dare game, minus the truth. Anywaz the oldest person gets to go first and dare whichever one of us that he wants. Tai, you've got the floor." Matt said while he glanced to his right at Tai.
"Ok, who's it gonna be...? Tk, I've got the perfect dare for you!" Tai exclaimed.
"Man, why did you have to pick me, why not Kari?" Tk said pointing to Tai's sister.
"Because, it's about time you let loose, which brings me to your dare. You see that club door down there. That's were all the wild people are."
"Um.. Tai, that's a 18 and older club, I can't go in there." Tk pointed out.
"Sure you can, we all can, it's called the back door. No one ever watches it after a certain time, c'mon let's go down there."
The group got on the elevator and headed down to level two. Right now they had been on level seven were all the rooms had been. The elevator was made with clear glass and you could see the who inside area when you looked from it. Finally they arrived on the second floor.
"When we go in there you have to find some real trashy looking person and dance freaky with them for 20 seconds." Tai said.
Two by two the each ran to the back door and slipped into the club unnoticed. Davis pushed Tk in front and told him to find the person of his dreams. That earned him a glare from Tk. The rest of the group stood on the sidelines as Mara spotted some really trashy looking girl who had just finished doing stuff to a guy. Tk wrinkled his nose.
"Please don't make me dance with that slut, what if she tries to kiss me after giving head to that guy over there."
"Don't worry if she gets too crazy we'll step in." Matt said. "Now go, you're on the clock."
The group laughed a bit as they saw Tk approach the girl. She had barely any shirt on and a skirt that way to short and skin tight.
"Eww...I feel for your brother Matt." Davis said.
"Yeah, although it is funny!" Matt said laughing again.
They watched as he can up behind her and started dancing, she immediately got the hint and went to grinding against him. She was facing him and she wrapped her leg around his middle as she continued her assault. Tk was dancing just as fast to keep up with her. By the time they got to the floor Matt had already said time and pulled his brother away from her and out of the club laughing the whole way.
Once outside and around the corner, the group planned their next move. "Tk it's your turn to dare somebody, Mr. bump and grind king." Tai said briefly imitating Tk dancing.
"Shut up." Tk said. "Your the one who made me do the dare, I think she was trying to rape me!" Tk said.
"Stop with the melodrama and pick someone already!" Kari said.
"Fine Kari, I dare you to into the movies and pretend to be dating your brother. Make sure everyone hears you say he's your brother, moan and everything." Tk said smirking.
"That's just disgusting Tk, gross my own brother! We don't have to k..kiss do we...?" Kari asked a bit afraid.
"No, that would be down right nasty, just pretend, but you have to convince the people in the movie and make at least one person leave."
"Wouldn't we be interrupting their movie?" Tai asked not wanting to be dragged into his sisters
dare.
"It doesn't really matter, there all free here anyway, they can always see it again." Davis said.
"Then it's settled. Let's gooo too the moovieees!" Tk sung as he and the others headed to ground level to go to the Movie Theater they had passed.
Once in the theater, Tai and Kari were forced to hold hands and told to sit in the back of the theater. Then two by two again, the rest of them came in and took seats were they could hear what was going on, but act like they did not know them.
"Brother stop it!" They heard Kari yell. It was dark, so others really could not see them that well no matter how much they tried.
"Ohh, right their little sis." They heard Tai moan. Mara started laughing and Matt quickly covered her mouth. Tk was about ready to fall out of his seat laughing, but Davis pulled him back in his chair.
A couple people in the theater turned around with disgusted looks on their faces while others tried to ignore. "Ahh, that's the spot, more big brother!" they heard Kari squeal as they made fake Kissing sounds.
Finally a man and his family got fed up with hearing them and left out of the movies. Kari and Tai high fived and the rest of the group ran out of the movies and straight passed the couple they ran out, laughing like a pack of wild hyenas the whole way.
"Let's sit down in that Starbucks over there." Tai said as the rest of the group followed him to the starbucks. They grabbed a booth and everyone sat down.
"Now it's my turn to choose a person." Kari said. "Davis it's your turn." Kari said grinning evilly.
"...Ok, lay it on me, I can handle it." Davis said giving a triumphant smile.
"Just for that, I dare you to let me and Mara dress you up in whatever style we want!"
"You're not going to dress me up as a girl are you?!" Davis said panicking.
"Oh no... we have something much better in mind, to the mall it is. I think it is down the hall from the movie theater." Kari said as she got up and led the group towards the mall.
"Here we are. Hold on a second." She pulled Mara away form the group and told her what kind of accessories she would need. Mara nodded and quickly went off to find what she needed.
"Kari this store looks a little dark, do you see that, they've got vampires on the wall!" Tai said.
"Grow up Tai." Matt told him as he pushed his friend in the store.
The rest of the group followed and sat on some blood red couches they found in the middle of the store. "Now Davis, whatever I put on you, you have to wear for the rest of the day and while we walk through the mall." Kari said.
"Okay..." Davis sighed.
"Good, now go try these on." Kari said while pushing him into a dressing room.
Davis looked at himself in the mirror, he had on a pair of black baggy pants with zippers all over it. He had on a red, no sleeve fitted shirt with a black fishnet long sleeve top over it. He shook his head. "They are so going to pay for this." Davis mumbled to himself as he put on the black buckled army boots that Kari gave him.
"Davis come out here!" Kari said. Davis grumbled again, but did like she said. Their jaws dropped.
"See Mara, I told you he would make a hot goth." Kari said smiling.
"Yeah you were right, but we're not done yet!" She walked over to him and forced him to sit on the couch.
"NOOO! not make up!" Davis yelled attempting to get away.
"Shut up and sit down, it's all apart of the outfit." Kari said as she told some of the others to help hold Davis down.
Mara took an off white powder and put it his face first to make him look a bit paler. Then she applied black eyeliner to his eyes along with some red, blackish gray eye shadow. After that she put on him some black lipstick and put a small hoop silver earring in his left pierced ear.
"Stand up." Mara commanded. "Here put these on she said as she handed Davis a black belt with sliver spikes. She took his other armbands out of his hands once he discreetly put on the black silver spiked bracelet and a dark red arm band.
"Ok, the only things we have left ring up is that collar and nail polish we got you." Kari said.
"Whoa, Davis you look like a whole 'nuther person!" Tk exclaimed as he walked over with the rest of the group to the check out counter.
The check out man had a black, yellow, and red mohawk. He was slim built, around eighteen and was dressed goth too, kind of like Davis was. He took the nail polish and collar and rung it up.
"Oh, who's the cute one back there!" the check out person said starring at Davis. If Davis wasn't embarrassed then, he was most certainly embarrassed now. He groaned and dropped his head on the nearest shoulder he could find, trying to hide. It happened to be Tk's shoulder he landed on.
"Aww, is that his boyfriend?" the guy asked curiously
"What! No no," Tk said removing Davis' head, "he's just shy!" Tk said grinning widely.
"That's cute, come again." He said handing them their bag. "I hope I see you soon." The man said winking at Davis.
The rest of the group had a hard time containing their laughter until they exited the store. When they got a couple feet away, the dam just broke and they all busted out laughing. Some of them had even fallen to the floor.
"Hahahah! That dude was hitting... on Davis...ahhahahahah!'' Tai choked out.
"Oh my gosh, somebody help me I can't stand haha, OMG I'm gonna die laughing...!" Matt said holding his stomach attempting to get off the floor.
"Leave me alone, it's not that funny!" Davis pouted. "Try having it happen to you!" Davis said laughing a little suddenly finding the situation a bit funny.
"Hold on, you still have to put on the rest of the items, lets go to the food court so I can paint his nails." Kari said. She placed the black silver buckle collar with a red cross around his neck. Then they wondered around to find the food court.
"Alright now that your nails are done and we have all eaten, It's time for you to choose someone Davis." Tk said.
"Ok, Matt since you haven't gone yet. We have to go up to the section were the residence stay at though, so to the elevators." Davis said as they cleaned off their table and headed to the elevator.
"Alright, here's your dare. You have to wait for the next person to turn the corn and you have to flirt with them and make them think you like them. no matter what type of person turns the corner. If they are married or too young then you have to wait for the next person to come along." Davis said.
"That sounds easy enough, it might even work out to benefit me!" Matt laughed. They heard someone coming around the corner, the rest of the group quickly hide so they could see the scene and Matt stood along the wall with his arms crossed.
Soon came two about ten years old girls. They saw Matt and instantly thought he was cute. "Hi." One of them said as she started a conversation with Matt. "Why are you just standing here, shouldn't you be out with your girlfriend or something?" She asked curiously.
Not one to be rude Matt responded with a smile, "No, I don't have one, I just came here to think."
"Oh," the other one said. "You're cute, what's your name?"
Matt sighed to himself, "It's Matt, what are yours." Matt said trying to be nice as he glanced down the hall.
"Oh, I'm Kiara, and that's my twin sister Kaila." Tiara said.
"Well it was nice meeting you." Matt said hinting that he wanted to be alone.
They got it and started walking towards the elevator. "It was nice meeting you too Matt, maybe we'll see you again!" Kaila said as she followed her twin sister to the elevator and got on.
Once they were out of site Matt let out a sigh of relief. He saw his friends laughing at him from their hiding places. They quickly shut up when they heard someone else coming around the corner.
Matt crossed his arms again and leaned against the wall waiting for the person to come around the corner. Matt looked up and say a guy around twenty years old come around the corner. For a brief second it looked like Matt wanted to run. He glanced over at his friends and saw them trying to hold back their laughter. Gathering his courage Matt walked up to the guy.
"Hey," Matt started. He smiled to the guy, if they wanted a show, they were going to get a good one. "Hot guys like you don't come this way often." Matt flirted as he walked over in front of the guy. This person had brownish blond spiked hair. He was wearing a blue shirt with blue jeans, and a fitted jacket.
"A..are you talking to me? The guy asked looking confused.
"Who else would I be talking to?" Matt said rolling his eyes.
"I was just making sure. You know, you aren't to bad looking yourself." The guy said trying to put a hand on Matt's shoulder.
Matt ducked away. "Really, no one's really told me that before..." Matt lied. This guy wasn't suppose to respond back, he was suppose to look at him weird and walk away. He glanced over at Tai, his eyes pleading for help. Davis nodded his head and let Tai save Matt.
"Hey Matt, I've been looking everywhere for you." Tai said. "Who's your friend?"
"Um..I ran into him in the hall." Matt said glancing at the guy again.
"Well tell your friend bye, we have to go before we get in trouble. Your dad almost had a cow when he found out you were gone." Tai said pulling Matt away from the scene. The other guy waved and walked off onto the elevator.
Once they saw the guy leave for good everyone came out of their hiding places. "Leave me alone" Matt said, "I don't even want to hear it."
"Don't worry...*laugh* we weren't going to say anything." Davis said pulling at his collar. "Now that you know how it feels." With that Davis and the others laughed a bit at him but not much.
"Do you guys think it's some kind of sign!" Kari said high fiving her friend.
"What if he finds out it was dare, what if we hurt his feelings." Tk said genuinely worried.
"Don't worry, I never said anything that could hurt his feeling plus, we probably won't ever see that guy again so he won't ever find out it was a dare. I think we've done enough damage for the day lets go back to the cabin." Matt said
The group got on the elevator and made their way through the main lobby. They got into the rental car and went to the cabins. While in the car Davis and Tk horribly sang out of tune to the radio. They did it on purpose to get on everyone's nerves.
"Hello, anybody home Tai yelled.
"Hi, I take it you had a good time, you kids have been gone for quite sometime now." Davis mom said as the rest of the group entered the room. "Oh my!" she gasped, "Honey, what did you do?" Davis mom asked.
"Nothing, what's so different about me...?" Davis said forgetting that he wasn't wearing his regular attire and the fact that he was wearing make up.
"Oh, you mean that...well, I thought it was time for a change." Davis lied. "See ya later mom!" Davis said as he ran upstairs with the bags in his hands, to the room that he shared with the others.
