Hey sorry I haven't been very good with the Updating on this story…please don't hate me! I will try to make this the longest chapter yet!
Love you my readers!
DPOV
I had a room to myself here seeing as Simon wanted to room with
Mark… Thought it was cool, the whole Vampirism thing. It was about as cool as being a Werewolf and having no way to change on command. When he needed blood he would take it from wherever, or whoever, was closet. He didn't have much say, no matter how under control he thought he was.
Chloe was rooming with Tori, but just after she had put her stuff away she learned that Tori was probably never going to be in the room. Seems her and James already had their sites set on each other. Eh, who a, I to come in the way of them? Oh, Yeah. Im her brother! This is gonna be fun!
Me and Chloe were sitting in the downstairs living room on the couch watching MuchMusic when Tori and James came in. They were just walking. No hand holding or snoggling (I love that word!) But I thought it would be funny to say something.
"Hey Tori? You know you threw your Strawberry-Short Cake Underwear in Dads bag right? You may want to go and grab those before he shows everyone!" As I said it her walking hitched, then completely faltered, which caused her to stumble and James to trip over her. They landed with Tori flung over James from the trip and their mouths connecting. Well that didn't work out how I thought it would.
"Derek…why would you do that? They are cute together." Chloe said as she turned away to give them a bit more privacy.
"Because as older brother, I have to tease her. And I also have the right to embarrass her in front of her 'Boyfriend'." I put air quotes around that because before this they were just friends-that both liked each other but wouldn't admit it to one another- but now they would probably just move right to the entire Boyfriend Girlfriend 'activities'. I REALLY didn't want to think about that.
"Hey…? Could we go somewhere else…seeing as they-," I nodded to the two."- probably wont be done for awhile." The look on her face was full of mischief. Hmmm.
"Sure we can, baby." She ran her hand down my chest. Right down it, to the bulge that had formed there. She stood up and made her way over to the stairs. She turned, noticing that I was still on the couch. "Aren't you coming? I really want to have some fun." She made her voice all husky. I nodded and ran to her side at the stairs.
SPOV(sorry that I switched from Derek's…im just not good with lemons)
I was sitting outside on the porch when I heard something fall. I looked through the screen door to my right and Tori was making out with James on the floor. Derek was headed to the stairs where Chloe had a very naughty look on her face…nope I don't think I want to know, but Derek was bound to tell me about it anyways.
I turned back around and picked up my sketchbook and started drawing.
That's how Sophie found me. Totally engrossed in my drawing of the forest with the whole gang in front of it, excluding me. Derek was making out with Chloe, James was holding Tori in his arms, like they had just finished a dance. Mark was standing off to the side looking at his reflection in the small lake beside him. Sophie and Jess were laughing at something one of them had said, but they were looking at the forest.
"Wow. Simon, that's really good….Are you good at, like, everything?" Sophie said as she sat down next to me, still focused on the picture.
"I wish. I'm not bad a drawing, and I can keep a beat on the drums but that's about all I can do. I don't have enhanced supernatural abilities like Derek, Chloe, and Tori. I can barely make fog. I suck at anything academic…" I couldn't even name all the stuff I sucked at.
"Simon…it's the stuff you good at that you should be proud of. I wish I could draw as good as you do, and I now I can sing but that's all I can do musically. I tried to learn the guitar-acoustic, electric and bass- didn't really work out in my favor. I tried to learn the drums, but then I found out that I cant even keep a beat on the firkin things! I cant control the water very well, and I have been trying to since I was like 4. Im not very good at many things but I use the stuff I am good at. You should take pried in your drawings and music." She reached for the hand that wasn't holding the pencil.
"Sophie…you are one of the best friends I have ever had, and I have only known you for like 6 hours!" I squealed, very girlily I must say. When I looked away from my picture again and into Sophies eyes, I saw a very noticeable amount of despair. "Sophie? Whats wrong?" She looked away, but not before I saw one small tear run down her cheek.
"Nothing Simon. Promise. Soo….since we were talking about music why don't we go get Mark and head down to the basement. Everyone else is either on the floor, or in a room with the door locked…well except Jess and Emily. They are in the workout room upstairs and they wont come down till dinner." I just remembered that I hadn't included Emily in the drawing. Crap!
"Yea. We can do that. But I want to finish my drawing first. So we can go grab Mark and head downstairs but im gonna sit out till im done." I said as I picked up my stuff.
"Oh, um, sure. Whatever you want to do Simon…But you will play with us right? Mayday Parade came out with a new album couple months ago and Mark got it last week…I want to try one of the new songs."
"Yeah. You guys work on that while I work on this-" I held up the picture of everyone."- and I'll join in after I finish it up."
"Umm, Simon? Where's Emily? I see everyone else-well except you- and Emily. Did you forget her or did you just not add her yet?" Wow. She was a little more observant than I thought she would be.
"I havent added her yet. That's why I have to finish it. I'm gonna give it to Jess so she can put it on the wall. I noticed that there arent any recent photos of anyone." We were walking up the stairs. When we got to the top we had to go past Dereks room to get to mine and Marks, and as we passed I heard moaning and 'Oh God Derek! Harder…Deeper! Ahhhh!' and I quickly walked away.
When we reached the room Sophie was laughing at me. "What are you laughing at shorty?"
"Oh nothing. Have you never heard anything like that?" She thumbed back down the hall, where the soft screams were still audible.
'Umm, well. No. I havent done it myself either. And I, uh, kinda used to really like Chloe. So its just a little weird to hear that coming for my brother from her." She nodded, but she had a sad look in her eyes.
We were downstairs with Mark. He was tuning the bass and Sophie was doing sound check.
"Sooo….how could you stand to be up there with them like that Mark? " Sophie asked after a few minutes.
"Huh? Oh. Ear plugs." He winked at me. "Always keep some in this house guys…never know whats going on at anytime." He laughed and then continued tuning.
"Okay Simon. You listen to the song and figure out the beat while we play it the first few times. Kay?"
"Yea sounds good. What song are you guys gonna play?"
"Terrible Things." She smiled. "Its my favorite song by them….No wait, Black Cat is." Haha.
"Oh my God! That is a hilarious song! Funniest one they made!" Mark said. I nodded in agreement.
"Kay, Mark. Ready?" he nodded. "One…two…three!" And with that Mark started with the beat.
(This is the song! .com/watch?v=Wa4eIycMHho This is how I imagine Sophie sounding…the wording is different so it sounds better for a girl in both the video and the lyrics so just look the original lyrics up if you want)
By the time I was your age
I'd give anything
To fall in love truly
Was all I could think
That's when I met your father (mother)
The boy (girl) of my dreams
The most wonderful man (beautiful woman)
That I'd ever seen
I (she) said "Boy, can I tell you a wonderful thing?
I can't help but notice you staring at me
I know I shouldn't say this, but I really believe,
I can tell by your eyes that you're in love with me."
Now son, I'm only telling you this
Because life, can do terrible things
Now most of the time
We'd have too much to drink
And we'd laugh at the stars
And share everything
Too young to notice
And too dumb to care
Love was a story
That couldn't compare
He (she)said "Girl, can I tell you a wonderful thing?
I made you a present with paper and string
Open with care now, I'm asking you please
You know that I love you
Will you marry me?"
Now son, I'm only telling you this
Because life, can do terrible things
You'll learn one day
I hope and I pray that God shows you differently
He (she) said "Boy, can I tell you a terrible thing?
It seems that I'm sick and I've only got weeks
Please don't be sad now, I really believe
You were the greatest thing that ever happened to me."
Slow, so slow, I fell to the ground on my knees
So don't fall in love
There's just too much to lose
If you're given the choice
I'm begging you choose
To walk away, walk away
Don't let it get you
I can't bear to see the same happen to you
Now son, I'm only telling you this
Because life, can do terrible things
Sophie had so much emotion during the song. I think I even saw tears threaten to over flow. When they finished I jumped up and clapped. The bowed.
"Sophie…Mark! That was amazing!" I ran over to her and hugged her tight. I thought she would push me away, but she held on even tighter than I did.
"Do I get a hug to Siwin?" Mark said with puppy eyes and his lower lip extended so my name came out wrong.
"Umm…No! I dindt even finish but I want want to learn how to play that song! Lets go!" And with that we started and didn't stop playing the song until I had it down pat, then we started with some of the other Mayday Parade songs.
Hey I found some of the best darkest powers pictures…ones of Chlerek and the other is Chloe and Maya from Darkness Rising.
