Encore
An Alternate Universe Mondler Fanfiction
Prologue:
It was utterly silent, not a noise and nothing stirring in the dressing room backstage. Alone in this room sat a figure, hunched over at the desk, staring at a picture.
It was at this moment, that a stage manager frantically flew in, slamming the door open and leaving a fluttering trail of papers in his wake.
"You're to be on stage in thirty seconds sir!"
The figure stood, waving the flustered stage manager off. The figure was a man; about six foot one with fine features, sandy brown hair, and very deep, rich blue eyes.
"Okay. I'm on my way then. Excuse me." He said, his voice of medium pitch, not too deep, but not very high either.
He wore a slate gray, loose fitting button up shirt and a leather jacket. He gave a slight smile to the staff he passed as he calmly made his way to the left offstage wing. As he walked by the guitar rack, he nonchalantly grabbed his personal favorite well not breaking stride.
The guitar was a beautiful acoustic electric with a slight sunburst paint job tinge. He put the light brown leather strap over his shoulder, and right on cue, stepped onto the stage to the uproarious cheering of the crowd; 55,000 people cheering him. And as the lights came up, he struck the chord of the first song, his voice joining in soon in its glory.
(And I hope… and I hope…)
I've practiced this for hours, gone 'round and 'round
And now I think that I've got it all down
And as I say it louder I love how it sounds
'Cause I'm not taking the easy way out
Not wrapping this in ribbons
Shouldn't have to give a reason why
It's no surprise I wont be here tomorrow
I can't believe that I stayed till today
Yeah, you and I will be a tough act to follow
But I know in time we'll find this was no surprise
It came out like a river once I let it out
When I thought that I wouldn't know how
Held onto it forever just pushing it down
Felt so good to let go of it now
Not wrapping this in ribbons
Shouldn't have to give a reason why
It's no surprise I wont be here tomorrow
I can't believe that I stayed till today
There's nothing here in this heart left to borrow
There's nothing here in this soul left to say
Don't be surprised when we hate this tomorrow
God knows we tried to find an easier way
Yeah, you and I will be a tough act to follow
But in time we'll find this was no surprise
Our favorite place we used to go
The warm embrace that no one knows
The loving look that's left your eyes
That's why this comes as no, as no surprise
If I could see the future and how this plays out
I bet it's better than where we are now
But after going through this
It's easier to see the reason why
It's no surprise I won't be here tomorrow
I can't believe that I stayed till today
Yeah, you and I will be a tough act to follow
But I know in time we'll find this was no surprise
Our favorite place we used to go
The warm embrace that no one knows
The loving look that's left your eyes
But in time we'll find this was no surprise
(And I hope, and I hope, and I hope, and I hope, and I hope.)
AN/Disclaimer: Okay, so this is and isn't a song fic. It isn't meant to go with the songs necessarily, it is more like the man, who you will find out who he is soon, is singing them. In truth, from what my plan is, these songs will all be by the amazing group: Daughtry.
The song used here is No Surprise by Daughtry.
This is sort of a prologue and sort of the first chapter. It is kind of just setting the scene.
I don't own F.R.I.E.N.D.S or Daughtry, or any of the songs used.
