"Don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened."

― Dr. Seuss

Cole's P.O.V.

I closed my window. I never knew that Zoe could play the piano. That gave me an idea for our next cover song.

The next day, I quickly got dressed, ate breakfast, then ran over to Zane's house. I knocked on the door. A very tired looking Zane opened the door. "Yes?" He yawned. I took a step back. "First, brush your teeth man, that's nasty. Second, I've got an idea for our next cover." Zane nodded. "Come in."

I walked in, and played a game on my phone while I waited for Zane to get ready. Hopefully, he's brushing his teeth too. I heard foot steps walking down the stairs along with the sound of a dog tag. I saw Storm and Shard walking down. Well actually, it was more of a waddle.

(When dogs walk down stairs, they sorta waddle. Kinda funny to watch actually.)

Storm went into the kitchen, while Shard walked towards me. He sniffed my pockets. They had dog treats in them. I smiled. "He must smell Rocky." I looked up, and saw Zoe.

She was wearing a light grey tee that had the word 'Hope'. She had light washed jeans with rips on the knees. Her hair was in a really messy side braid with feathers braided in.

"Are you sure it's not the dog treats I have?" I asked. Zoe nodded. "Yeah. Shard prefers an actual dog over dog treats." I shrugged. "Huh. Zane had the party animal. Pun intended." Zoe laughed. "Come on, guys, breakfast!" She went into the kitchen, and fed the dogs. While they were eating, Zoe sat down on the couch, and got out her IPad. I walked over, and sat down next to her. She was playing the Sims Freeplay.

"Wow." I said. "That's awesome." I was talking about the world. The houses were really cool, and the Sims were all different. One had colored hair while another had long blonde hair. I also saw Elsa and Anna along with Ariel.

"Thanks." She said. I saw Zane walking down, looking much more alive, and less like a zombie with very bad breath.

"Morning." He said to Zoe. She nodded, and went back to her game. Zane and I walked to the garage to discuss the song.

"So," Zane began. "What were you thinking, kid?" I gave him a funny look.

"Really Zane?" I asked. "I'm seventeen. Almost eighteen. I'm not a kid."

Zane laughed. "Compared to me, you are. Dude, I could be your dad for all you know."

I thought about that, and shuddered. "Ugh, thanks for making me think about that image. Anyway, the song I was thinking about was 'Makeup' by Escape The Fate. Oh, the new version. Not the old."

Zane nodded. "Sure. That song's cool. I'll tell the guys, and we can do it."

I smiled. "Awesome. If you don't mind, I'd like to sing it."

Zane eyed me. "Sure. Hey, this song doesn't have anything to do with Zoe, does it?" He asked.

I shrugged. "Eh, sorta."

Zane laughed. "Sounds like you're in love, Cole." He mimicked Ginny's voice from Harry Potter.

I glared at him. "Whatever, Ginny."

A few days later, we were in October. Jay had said that he would do the video since the song didn't have any piano bits in it. Lloyd said that he knows the song by heart, so he'll do drums, while Zane and I would do guitar. Kai would play bass.

I got my guitar ready, while the others set up. "Testing, one, two, three..." The mic worked perfectly.

Lloyd tapped his drumsticks together three times. Jay started the video camera, and we started paying.

I played a few power chords while Zane did some normal chords. I could feel the beat of Lloyd's drums vibrating through the floor. I sang the first part of the song. Then the course. The the second verse. The course again. The last verse, then finally, the last part, ending with a few effects.

Jay saved the video. I put my guitar down, and gave Kai a high-five. "Okay, ready for the end video?" Jay asked. I nodded. "Sure."

We got in a group video after Jay set up a tripod for the video camera.

"Yo!" Kai said. "We hope you liked our cover of, Lloyd, give me a drum-roll please..."

Lloyd ran over to his drumset, and did a drumroll.

"Makeup by Escape The Fate!" I finished.

"This concludes our weekly video on," The others chimed in. "NINJA SUNDAYS!"

"Check back every Sunday for a new video." Zane said.

"We even do movie parody's." Jay added.

"Don't forget to subscribe to out channel, and like this video, or every video that we had ever posted." I turned to the others. "Yeah, I like that better." The others laughed. "Peace!" Kai said as he ducked, and left.

"See ya!" Jay added as he jumped over the back of the couch.

"May The Force be With You..." Lloyd joked as he bowed and melted to the floor.

"See you next Sunday, we'd better." I said in my best Yoda imitation. I left.

"Immature. Okay, bye!" Zane left too. Jay cut the video, and looked at us. "Well, I think that was a success." He smiled.

"You know, I think that I have an awesome idea for the video. Be right back!" Jay left. A few moments later, he came back and grabbed the video camera.

"Remind me again why he's in the band?" I asked.

"He's the only one we know who can play piano." Zane said. I laughed. "You serious?" I asked. Zane nodded. "Yeah, why?" I shrugged. "Nothing." If Zoe didn't want to tell anyone, then I won't tell either.

A half hour later, Jay came back with his laptop. We gathered around him as he played the video.

The effects were really cool, fading in and out. The lighting changed every thirty seconds, changing from dark grey, blue, green, and black. I had to say, it looked really cool.

"Great job, Jay." I told him after watching. Jay smiled. "I know. I just posted it on YouTube. We already have one hundred likes, and like, a thousand views." I gave him a high-five.

Later on that day, I heard the faint sound of a guitar coming from Zoe's room. It sounded a lot like... no way...

I went upstairs, and opened Zoe's door. I walked in, and saw that Zoe was watching the video from today. She looked up, and smiled. "Great job." She said. I smiled. "Thanks." I walked towards her, and sat down on her bed.

Zoe glanced at me, and shifted. I noticed that she was trying to cover her arm. Oh man. I gently grabbed her arm. I lifted the sleeve up, and saw a few fresh cuts.
