Roses at Midnight 15
Author Note: I know that last chapter was a little bit of let down, but I didn't want to leave y'all hanging forever ;) So, here goes nothing with the next (longer!) chapter! :D
She didn't cry when her dog died,
She barely blinked when she broke her wrist.
She hardley looked up when she was bullied,
And smiled, "They're not worth it."
Claire's voice was beautiful, flowing out of her soul in a smooth alto voice. Her singing voice was a little low, being an alto, and yet it was enchanting and powerful, completely contridicting the soft voice she usually spoke with. None the less, she was a very talented singer, and Carlos was grinning like a fool as he joined into the song she wrote herself.
Her frends all look at her and say, "What's with that?"
She just smiles and laughs.
The two of them joined together, their voices flowing and fitting together almost perfectly as the audience started to clap, cheering and whistling for two of the newest lovers in Hollywood.
Bad things happen, that's just life
But I know...it'll be alright.
Let the lightning strike,
And the teardrops fall.
Then let the thunder roll.
As the music rocked on in the background, the two smiled at each other as the audience cheered louder. It was obvious to all of them they worked well with each other, in personality and in singing, and the Rushers in the crowd obviously loved it.
Years later she married a man
Who was never around.
Carlos started the next verse, and Claire belted out: He met another women. After she did this, they took unison in her song.
When she found out,
She was sad.
But looked down on angry words.
The male took the next part:
Her friends all stare at her and say, "What's with you?"
She just smiles, "He won't put me in the blues."
The two of them rejoined their voices to reapeat the chorus.
Bad things happen, that's just life
But I know...it'll be alright.
Let the lightning strike,
And the teardrops fall.
Then let the thunder roll.
Claire kissed his cheek lightly before sitting ontop of a speaker, folding one leg over the other as she took on singing by herself.
Well, years did go by and it finally came her time.
Her family sang Amazing Grace,
And then, they heard her say.
Once again, the two lovers repeated the chorus, slower with the instruments. And slowly, the music picked back up, allowing Claire to hit a high note: And let the thunder...And the let thunder roll...
"Lighting strikes..." Carlos now half-sang, half-spoke as the two rejoined each other in center stage, their lips barely apart.
"Raindrops will fall..." she did the same, tears of joy spinging in her eyes as they dueted the last part together before kissing.
And let the thunder roll.
"That's my little sister!"
Even if it wasn't bilogical, Nikki was still very proud of her little sister figure. She smirked as Kendall stared at the stage, impressed, and nudged him in the stomach as the DJ blasted out another fast paced song.
"Stop drooling," she teased, grabbing his hand, "and let's dance."
After that ashma attack, Katie was a little paranoid about letting Primrose out of her sight.
The two stood in the back of the party, watching other people dance as they 'casually' sipped some point. Both of them were a little on edge, and that's when Tyler strode up to them, double checking behind himself for his mother before raising an eyebrow.
"What are you two standing around for?" he tilted his head to the side a little, "it's party time!"
He spread out his hands for emphasise, and Katie smiled thinly, patting Prim's head gently before replying, "Yeah. We...just got tired, so now we're resting. We'll get back to the party in a little while, I gues."
"Or," he grabbed her wrist suddenly, starting to pull her out as a slower song filled the place, "we could dance now."
Love...
Primrose smiled as Katie was dragged away, both her and the boy with the read hair blushing. The small seven year old watched with quite a level of humor as they fumbled their fingers together, mimicing the other couples in position as they started to rock together. Giggling to herself, she decided to try and find Miss Nikki and Kendall so she could eat some real food, something more healthy.
No sooner had she slipped into the crowd was she grabbed.
James wasn't very amused as he sat on a bench, pouting a little as Lucy giggled with Camille. Logan sat on the other end of the bench, pouting a little himself. Both of them had been forced to take a 'time-out', which niether of them were happy about, from their girlfriends, who found this super funny and approiate.
"Not fair..." the pretty boy mumbled, looking at his shoes a bit, only smiling as he remembered he was in a simlar situation when he finally got to kiss Lucy.
How demaning.
This was really all Logan could think at the moment.
"Having fun?" Kendall chuckled as he dipped his girlfriend down, her brown curls falling behind her as she put one foot in the air for dramtic affect at the salsa.
"Very much so," she giggled, twirling a bit as he side-stepped, catching her to the side she twisted to gracefully and bending back a little himself, allowing her head to rest briefly on his chest befoe they both began to move apart in step with the rhythm.
The blonde's heart throbed each time they touched, his heart raced every time he looked at her, a sweat ran down his back jus a bit each time she smiled at him. The sudden feeling of love was addicting, and to ever get enough seemed impossible at the moment. All he knew was that he was very, very lucky, and that he never wanted the night to end. As she smiled once again, she pressed her lips to his, and his heart just about was overwhelmed.
It was passionate, brilliant, and dangerous.
It was a brillant kiss.
"Keep still!"
Her young eyes were full of terror as she was thrown into the darkness, onto something warm and damp. She shuddered as a door slammed, an engine roared around her, and she was thrown into greedy, tight hands. She tried to scream, but the bond muffld it into almost nothing as rap exploded through the speakers and tears soaked her face. She prayed frantically as the lights vanished, replaced by nothing but terror and struggles.
A blow to the gut sent her under and reactivated her ashma.
