*Two Years After Alex Left*

Mikey was walking through the sewers with a disguise bag, which held his disguise. He found the nearest manhole, and lifted off the sewer plate. He looked out and saw no one in the alley. He climbed up and covered up the sewers. He went to the nearest fire escape, and climbed up as quickly and quietly as he could. He jumped on the rooftops until he got close to the club he was looking for: Torchy's. He opened the bag, and put on his hat, trench coat, and sneakers. He climbed down the closest fire escape, and started walking down the street, towards the club. He finially found it and walked in. He went to the darkest corner as the person singing finished. He sat in the corner, and looked at the stage, just as a seventeen year old girlwent on. She took the microphone and gulped.

"Hello. As you all know, i'm Kat. And as you all know, that's my stage name." the girl said. Everyone clapped.

"I'm gonna sing my new song, Because of You. Please enjoy." Kat said. The music started playing.

(the following is her singing)

"I will not make the same mistakes that you did

I will not let myself

Cause my heart so much misery

I will not break the way you did,

You fell so hard

I've learned the hard way

To never let it get that far

Because of you

I never stray too far from the sidewalk

Because of you

I learned to play on the safe side so I don't get hurt

Because of you

I find it hard to trust not only me, but everyone around me

Because of you

I am afraid

I lose my way

And it's not too long before you point it out

I cannot cry

Because I know that's weakness in your eyes

I'm forced to fake

A smile, a laugh everyday of my life

My heart can't possibly break

When it wasn't even whole to start with

Because of you

I never stray too far from the sidewalk

Because of you

I learned to play on the safe side so I don't get hurt

Because of you

I find it hard to trust not only me, but everyone around me

Because of you

I am afraid

I watched you die

I heard you cry every night in your sleep

I was so young

You should have known better than to lean on me

You never thought of anyone else

You just saw your pain

And now I cry in the middle of the night

For the same damn thing

Because of you

I never stray too far from the sidewalk

Because of you

I learned to play on the safe side so I don't get hurt

Because of you

I try my hardest just to forget everything

Because of you

I don't know how to let anyone else in

Because of you

I'm ashamed of my life because it's empty

Because of you

I am afraid

Because of you

Because of you." Everyone clapped. Kat bowed, and left the stage.

'Hm... sounds familiar. Sounds like... No, it can't be...' Mikey thought.

Oh! Suspense!

Boredom plus waiting for story to post equals quick update!
