I'M SORRY I TOOK SO LONG TO UPDATE! I'm completly out of ideas so this stories pretty much all music. Please review and give me ideas or else I can't update
I truly despise this chapter. Maybe I'll deleted it? I fail at song fics.
It's been two weeks since Aunty Miyu and I moved in with Adrik and Mihael, and Mihael is still being very cold towards me, but Matt has been very welcoming so I guess that's good. Lately I've been rather depressed, but I suppose that's to be expected considering my mother and grandmother both recently passed away, but then again, I've never really been one to ever let my emotions take control, so I guess that means I was probably already rather unhappy. I'm hoping that starting school will help to distract me, oh, I didn't tell you? I've been enrolled in a high school. Oh joy.
Mihael and Matt said that they would introduce me to one of their other close friends, Iris. Matt said that Iris is a real bad ass, and then Mihael explained that Iris takes karate lessons after school but she's really good in a fist fight. Iris sounds like a really nice girl so I hope she likes me, I think Mihael would probably get even colder towards me she didn't, but then again she does sound nice.
We're currently getting ready for school and Matt's over to help me to get ready, considering I've never gone to school before and help is obviously too much to ask of Mihael. I'm beginning to grow fond of the redhead, I wish Mihael would be more like him, but once again I'm pretty sure that's too much to ask.
"Oi! Scarlet! (A/N I really suck at insults, don't I?) Leave white out to dress it's self and get over here!" yelled Mihael, who was already dressed, packed and sitting on his bed, eating a chocolate bar, whilst watching something on his laptop with his headphones in.
Matt walked over to him, sat down and took the headphones from his friend. "GRAWESOME! I didn't know she could sing like that!" Matt shouted happily, then turned to me. "You gotta' come and see this, this is that girl we were telln' ya about!"
I got up and walked over and stood beside the bed to see what Matt was so excited about. The girl on the computer screen had long black hair and a front fringe that sat just bellow her eye brows and just above her blue eyes and was wearing an over sized System Of A Down band T-shirt that said 'FUCK THE SYSTEM' on it and blue tights with purple sneaker boots ( A/N I can't remember what they're called), and she was sitting behind a piano; other than the T-shirt she definitely didn't look like the bad ass Matt and Mihael had said she was. She started to sing and she sounded amazing,
'Stay low.
Soft, dark, and dreamless,
Far beneath my nightmares and loneliness.
I hate me,
For breathing without you.
I don't want to feel anymore for you.
Grieving for you,
I'm not grieving for you.
Nothing real love can't undo,
And though I may have lost my way,
All paths lead straight to you.
I long to be like you,
Lie cold in the ground like you.
Halo,
Blinding wall between us.
Melt away and leave us alone again.
The humming, haunted somewhere out there.
I believe our love can see us through in death.
I long to be like you,
Lie cold in the ground like you.
There's room inside for two and I'm not grieving for you,
I'm coming for you.
You're not alone,
No matter what they told you, you're not alone.
I'll be right beside you forevermore.
I long to be like you, sis,
Lie cold in the ground like you did.
There's room inside for two and I'm not grieving for you.
And as we lay in silent bliss,
I know you remember me.
I long to be like you,
Lie cold in the ground like you.
There's room inside for two and I'm not grieving for you,
I'm coming for you.'
I knew the song, it was 'Like You' by Evanescence, but I swear that Iris was even better than the original sing, she was amazing.
"Do you think Iris could teach me to sing like that?" I asked then started to twirl a piece of hair nervously. It's rather embarrassing but I love singing, it's actually a hobby of mine; in fact I've been singing with Aunty Miyu since I was young, but it's hard to know when you're any good when the only person who's ever heard you is 'slow'.
"Shut up twerp, you can't sing." Mihael said coldly or maybe it wasn't coldly but it just felt like it because it kind of hurt.
"HEY!" Matt snapped and gave Mihael an angry look. "How bout' we give'm a shot and then see if it's worth it!" Matt stated, grinning, obvious happy and proud of his 'good' idea. They both looked at me expectantly and I took a deep breath, but couldn't say anything.
"Well?" Mihael said then raised an eye brow.
So I took one more deep breath and sung,
'My name is Luka
I live on the second floor
I live upstairs from you
Yes I think you've seen me before
If you hear something late at night
Some kind of trouble. some kind of fight
Just don't ask me what it was
Just don't ask me what it was
Just don't ask me what it was
I think it's because I'm clumsy
I try not to talk too loud
Maybe it's because I'm crazy
I try not to act too proud
They only hit until you cry
After that you don't ask why
You just don't argue anymore
You just don't argue anymore
You just don't argue anymore
Yes I think I'm okay
I walked into the door again
Well, if you ask that's what I'll say
And it's not your business anyway
I guess I'd like to be alone
With nothing broken, nothing thrown
Just don't ask me how I am [X3]
My name is Luka
I live on the second floor
I live upstairs from you
Yes I think you've seen me before
If you hear something late at night
Some kind of trouble, some kind of fight
Just don't ask me what it was
Just don't ask me what it was
Just don't ask me what it was
And they only hit until you cry
After that, you don't ask why
You just don't argue anymore
You just don't argue anymore
You just don't argue anymore'
Mihael and Matt were both staring at me and they looked astonished. Mihael got off of the bed and walked over to me and hugged me, I gasped when he did.
"I love you man, seriously." I could hear Matt laughing in the background; I think I've found out how I'm going to make Mihael except me into his family, I just need the perfect song.
"OMG! He sounds like Justin Beiber!" Matt yelled from his place on the bed.
"I know!" Mihael said sounding like he was in tears, which I soon found out he was when he started crying on my shoulder while telling me which Linkin Park songs he wanted me to sing. Would Justin Beiber sound good singing Linkin Park?

Adrik dropped Mihael, Matt and I off at school. I'm so nerves, Mihael and Matt both promised they'd beat the crap out of anyone who touched their pressues cotton ball, but I still had my doubts.
We neared the music room where Mihael had said that their friend likes to practice (where else would she). We walked in the room and I could hear the most beautiful piano playing I'd ever heard and then I looked over to the piano and saw the girl from the computer sitting in front of it. Iris approached us and smiled kindly at me.
"Did you write that?" I asked Iris and gestured towards the piano to emphasise.
Iris smiled at me and said "Oh, yeah it's a working progress." She giggled nervously.
"This is my stepbrother, Near." Mihael said while putting his arm around me to emphasize who he meant. I smiled kindly to the girl standing in front of me, I've been a lot happier since an hour ago when Mihael started being nice to me.
"It's nice ta meet cha Near." Iris said and kindly smiled at me again, she definitely seems as nice as everyone says that she is.
"Okay so what's ya favourite band? Mine's System Of A Down, I love the song Policaly Lying Unholy Cowardly Killers, or P.L.U.C.K, but that's not my favourite song of theirs; I think their song Boom has a great meaning about human selfishness and the fact that we will do anything for money so that we can buy thing so that we can fill the emptiness inside us, even though that will never happen." Iris rambled, she certainly seems to have a really strong opinion about the sort of stuff this band sings about. Although I disagree with her, even though I would never say this out loud at the risk of upsetting her on my first impression, I actually believe that humans don't buy the latest things to fill emptiness but to fit in with the social standards, for example, if a teenage girl doesn't dress in the same clothes as the other teens her age the other girls will consider her an outcast. Am I making sense? (A/N I enjoy arguing with myself about SOAD, so I just thought I'd share one of my discussions)
"I don't really have a favourite band." I stated simply, once I had remembered her question.
"Oh, I see, so do you at least have a stage name? Mines BB as in Beyond Birthday my favourite criminal." Iris asked (or said), I finally see what Mihael meant when he said she was a bad ass. Just when I was about to answer her question with a simple 'no' Mihael answered for me.
"Snow flake sorta suits him, don't ya think?" Mihael said then smiled at me, Iris just laughed.
"Okay, Snow flake, I'm gonna teach you my all time favourite song 'The Light Before We Land', it was the theme song for Gunslinger Girl, but it has an even stronger meaning then it just being from my favourite show to me." (A/N I've forgotten the meaning)
Iris then walked over to the piano, where she was when we first entered the school music room, and started to play and sing.
"In cases such as these I'd like a hand
Don't wake me up without a master plan
With sight and sound becoming fragile
Don't you understand?
When things that once were beautiful
Are bland
And when I feel like I can feel once again
Let me stay awhile
Soak it in awhile
If we can hold on we can fix what is wrong
Buy a little time
For this head of me
Haven for us
In truth there is no better place to be
Than falling out of darkness still to see
Without a premonition
Could you tell me where we stand?
I'd hate to lose this light
Before we land
And when I feel like I can feel once again
Let me stay awhile
Soak it in awhile
If we can hold on we can fix what is wrong
Buy a little time
For this head of mine
Haven for us
Before we let euphoria
Convince us we are free
Remind us how we used to feel
Before when life was real
And when I feel like I can feel once again
Let me stay awhile
Soak it in awhile
If we can hold on we can fix what is wrong
Buy a little time
For this head of mine
Haven for us"
Iris turned and smiled at us, I think she should be famous just for her smile. I wish there were more girls out there as beautiful and as talented as her. But her voice didn't fit the song.
There's know pairing between Iris and Near so don't worry, and if there is I'll end it in time, promise.
I rambled too much in this chapter. Iris should have sung a Flyfeaf song instead of the delgados.
