Landon didn't show up on Friday for school. Or at any of the weekend band practices. He did show up at school on Monday, though he didn't talk to me. I had great support from my band though, and even a little bit of support from Edward who wasn't being his usual creepy self.
Now, the group decided to turn over out next few performances over to Edward, and that was fine with me. I really didn't mind.
"Landon Ryan? Can you and your band please come up and perform?" Mrs. Levinski said.
"But I wanted to go today!" Jessica complained.
"Too bad." I heard Landon say, and I almost laughed.
Him and his band stepped up onto the stage and his eyes flashed over to me, and the music started. Then he started to sing.
"Check yes Juliet
Are you with me?
Rain is falling down on the sidewalk
I won't go until you come outside.
Oh God, he knew that I loved Romeo and Juliet.
Check yes Juliet
Kill the limbo
I'll keep tossing rocks at your window
There's no turning back for us tonight.
Lace up your shoes
Eh Oh Eh Ohhh
Here's how we do:
Run, baby, run
Don't ever look back.
They'll tear us apart
If you give them the chance.
Don't sell your heart.
Don't say we're not meant to be.
Run, baby, run.
Forever we'll be
You and me.
What is the crap? He's the one who's tearing us apart!
Check yes Juliet
I'll be waiting
Wishing, wanting
Yours for the taking.
Just sneak out
And don't tell a soul goodbye.
Check yes Juliet
Here's the countdown
3... 2... 1... now fall in my arms
Now they can change the locks
Don't let them change your mind
Pfft. Like I'd fall into his arms. He looked over to me, and then he started singing in my direction. Everyone in the room scrambled to see what he was looking at. Yeah, me. I ducked my head, but when I looked back he was still singing to me.
Lace up your shoes
Eh Oh Eh Ohhh
Here's how we do
Run, baby, run
Don't ever look back
They'll tear us apart
If you give them the chance
Don't sell your heart
Don't say we're not meant to be
Run baby run
Forever we'll be
You and me
His eyes softened as turned away from me and started to sing back to his audience.
We're flying through the night
We're flying through the night
Way up high,
The view from here is getting better with
You by my side
Run baby run
Don't ever look back
They'll tear us apart
If you give them the chance
Don't sell your heart
Don't say we're not meant to be
Run baby run
Forever we'll be...
Run baby run
Don't ever look back
They'll tear us apart
If you give them the chance
Don't sell your heart
Don't say we're not meant to be
Run baby run
Forever we'll be
You and me
You and me
You and me"
His song ended and I sat, unmovable and a bit frightened. Was this an apology? Was this for me? It made no sense! I was so confused.
I was still shaking my head as I got up and ran to the Sound Room. Everyone in my band just stared after me, but it was their turn on the stage so there was no way they could come after me. I felt a little relieved by that fact, and a little scared.
I walked into the Sound Room and took it in for what seemed like the hundredth time. As I stood in the doorway and looked to my left there was the stage that ran the whole length of the wall. It was low to the ground, but not too low. It probably went back a good 20 feet before it ended. The back door was tucked into the right side of the stage.
The rest of the room was just empty other than a few stray chairs, and little beaten up table that held a small boom box.
I sighed as I walked through the room and placed my CD into the boom box. I had no intention of singing with it, mostly because it was a guys song, and because Tokio Hotel always had a way of calming me down.
"It's getting light outside
She is still there
But no one cares
Yeah, no one cares. I knew that.
"They said no happy birthday yesterday
Without her
Do you want to see if
You're flying through
The night
This gift is what you'll need
You're gonna be alright
Eyes closed and fall
First time on the edge
The scars will stay forever
Side to side with death
The moment that feels better
Darkness and light
Are blinding her sight
She's not coming back"
The door to the sound room opened.
"It's getting light outside"
Landon is standing in the doorway.
"She cannot sleep"
Small smile on his face as he came towards me.
"'Cause time stood still"
His hand was on my face as he leaned down and kissed me.
"Someone's hand is touching her"
Please, just let it be over.
"She has no will
Each time when it hurts
She just feels so alone"
He pulls back as he looks at me and smiles.
"She doesn't care at all
Her memories have
Long gone
Eyes closed and fall"
I closed my eyes as he started to kiss down my neck. It felt so wrong. But if I push him away…he might…get forceful.
"Closer to the edge
The scars will stay forever"
I felt tears spring up into my eyes as he kissed his way back up to my mouth
"Side to side with death
This time is even better."
I needed to stop this. I had to.
"Darkness and light"
I pushed him back, and his face turned sinister.
"Are blinding her sight"
I'd had enough, even though I'd never win against him. I can't just give in.
"She's not coming back"
I won't be weak anymore.
"She shuts the door
She longs for more"
He pushed me onto the floor with a thud, and I smacked my head from on the ground.
"And more
And more"
I got dizzy rather quickly. "Jasper! He-Help!" I tried to yell but my voice came out as little more than normal volume.
"She shuts the door
She longs for more
And more
And more
Just once more"
"No one can hear you Bells." Landon whispered in my ear.
"I think you're wrong about that." Said someone from the door. I felt Landons' hold on my forearms tighten.
"Everyone is watching her"
Edward, Jasper, Chase and Conner were all in the doorway, and they looked livid.
"Her arms are so sore
But she doesn't care
Anymore"
I finally broke down into tears. This was too much. I was tired of this.
"Falling from the edge
The scars will stay forever"
I felt the room spinning. But wasn't I laying down.
"Side to side with death
This might seem even better
Darkness and light
Are blinding her sight
She's not coming back
Not coming back"
"Bella! Bella! Come one Bella stay with us!" A voice demanded.
"S-so…sorry." I whispered.
"The sky is casting over
Her last wish
Stays unsaid"
I was able to open my eyes after a few moments. Edward and Conner were blocking both exits from the sound room. Chase and Jasper were standing over me and just staring at me. Once my eyes had opened Jasper got up and walked over to Landon, grabbing him by the shirt.
"You're lucky I don't kill you right now!" He hissed in Landons' face I'd never seen this before, Jasper was pissed!
"It's none of your business!" Landon shouted back at him. Quicker than I could even see Jaspers' fist shot up, and for a moment I thought he was going to punch Landon. He actually probably was going to, only Edward had restrained Jaspers' arm.
Slowly and shakily I managed to get to my feet with some help from Chase.
"Are you sure you're okay, Bella?" He asked looking at me face, I was sure that uncontrollable tears were still running down my face, so there was no way I could lie.
"No Chase, I'm not okay." I said shaking my head, and I found Landons' eyes on me.
"Why?" I asked him starting to shake again. "What did I ever do to you?" I said relapsing into tears again. Jasper let the fabric of Landons' shirt slip from his hand as he turned to me.
"Let's go." He said grabbing at my hand, and I winced in pain at the new bruise that was surfacing on my wrist.
Pretty much immediately Jasper noticed, and muttered a sorry as he pulled me through the empty hallways.
"Where are we going?" I asked.
"You're going home. And I'm going to go kick the shit out of Landon." Jasper hissed. Whoa, did Jasper just swear? I was way surprised, and a lot terrified.
"No…don't. It won't help anything." I said reaching out my other hand and grabbing the wrist of his hand that was holding my other hand.
"It will me." He said. I stared at his, anger seething off of me in waves, there was no way I'd let them fight like that.
"Don't worry I'll let it slide this time." He said.
I rolled my eyes, and then a thought dawned on me.
"Jasper I can't leave, not without telling someone, or you know getting permission from my dad." I said nervously. "And anyway I don't need to leave."
We stopped in front of the main doors, and he just looked at me, hard.
"Yes, I'm sorry but you do need to leave." He said glaring past me, at what I wasn't sure. I turned my head slowly, just over my shoulder, it was enough to see Edward standing all the way at the other end of the hallway, staring back at us.
"Bella, go." He said.
"No, I'm going back to class, you two can hash it out here all you want, but it's really none of your business anyway, is it Jasper?" I said, then I turned and began walking back the way we came, and stopped when I got right next to Edward. "And you are going to leave me alone, and Landon. I'll deal with Landon myself. I can do it.." I hissed, and walked away.
"We'll see." He said with a smile, and I turned so quick I didn't think that he expected it, and I grabbed onto the collar of his shirt, pulled his face into mine. "You will. I promise you that you will." I hissed and walked away, I guess I would leave early. I couldn't stay here any longer.
