Chapter 7:
Before on Lost and Hidden:
"I didn't. I just didn't like wearing it in public. You know, it was my first beanie. I sometimes sleep with it at night, because I thought that it was our parents the ones who gave it to me when I was born. But now that I think about it, was it them who gave it to me, or was it my biological parents?" I asked hopefully. 'Ally' looked at me with her eyes widened and a small smile on her face.
"This could be the only thing we have from our biological parents. A yellow beanie, with the letter R..." she said as I shyly took it out of my bag and just stared at it.
Now on Lost and Hidden:
*End of flashback*
Riker's POV
Rydel and I locked eyes, confusion written all over our faces.
"Did you say 'yellow beanie with the letter R on it?'" Rydel asked with a horrified expression.
"Yeah, that's what I said... Why?" Austin answered.
"Umm... Would you excuse us for a second?" I grabbing her arm and pulling her out of her seat to the outdoor area of the café. Once we were both outside and made sure nobody was around us to listen, we started talking.
"Do you think it's a concidence?" Rydel asked looking at me.
"I-I want to believe it is... A yellow beanie with the letter R... You know beanies with random letters, words or phrases are starting to get trendy lately..." I said truthfully.
"Yeah but were they trendy 12-13 years ago?" She pointed out. I immediately looked at her. How did she notice that?!
"Let's not think about that... The chances that his beanie is the same as my blue one and your pink one are very few. It's just a beanie with the letter R, it doesn't mean anything..." I said, suddenly realising how we could be being paranoid.
"Yeah I guess you're right..." She said sighing and starting to walk back to our table. I followed close behind her.
As we reached our tables we saw Austin and Ally laid across their seats, Ally dozing off and Austin fast asleep. Ally must of heard us walking close because she opened her eyes and sat up.
"Oh you're back. Let me wake Austin up." She said, about to reach her hand out to Austin to wake him up.
"No, don't. He's tired, you two woke up at 3 in the morning!" I said, making Ally sink back into her seat.
"Do you want to take some sleep too?" Rydel asked kindly. Ally shook her head.
"No I'm okay. I'm used to staying awake for long periods and waking up early. Austin on the other hand is such a sleepy head, you have no idea." She said chuckling at her blonde brother. "I'm gonna continue the story." She added, taking a long breath before she started speaking.
*Flashback*
Ally's POV
'Austin' took off the beanie he was wearing and set it in front of him. He grabbed his guitar and started playing the opening chords of the familiar song we wrote a while ago.
"I was blown away,
Busy disappearing 'til I saw your face,
In the stratosphere and now I can't escape,
The force field that we're in got me light years away,
So out of space, without a trace..." 'Austin' sung softly, giving me a nod to start singing.
"Baby we're gone, Baby we're gone, c'mon." We both sung, me singing backup for my brother.
"Ain't no way we're goin' home,
Let's stay on the run forever,
Let's go nowhere that we know,
And get strange with the stars together,
We can do what you wanna do,
but what you wanna do, baby, we can do better.
Ain't no way we're going home, yeah
So let's go yeah, let's go." We both sung on the top of our lungs. We continued the song with the same passion as we started it, enjoying every moment of it.
As we finished the song, I noticed a small crowd of people that stopped to listen to us. They clapped and put some money on 'Austin's beanie. We thanked them and 'Austin' took a quick glance at the money in the beanie.
"That's not enough money. We need more songs, and more money. But we need to do it fast, the sun will start rising soon and there won't be a way to hide from our parents if they catch us anywhere..." he said worriedly looking at me. I nodded and as 'Austin' started playing the guitar again, and we started singing together.
"Feeling my way through the darkness
Guided by a beating heart..."
As we finished, I counted the money we had received from singing Wake Me Up. Our money was double as much as before.
"We still don't have enough money! And we really need to get going, because our parents will probably come here sooner or later either to look for us, or to go to work." I said.
"But what can we sing? We need a song that we relate to so that we can actually sing it with passion and enjoy it... But which song?" 'Austin' said, setting his guitar on the ground and leaning on it. Suddenly, a I got the idea.
"I walk a lonely road
The only one that I have ever known
Don't know where it goes
But it's home to me and I walk alone." 'Austin' sung while strumming the chords on his guitar. This song we were performing has always been one of my all time favourites. And now I can feel this song more than ever.
"I walk this empty street
On the Boulevard of Broken Dreams
Where the city sleeps
And I'm the only one and I walk alone." 'Austin' sung once again closing his eyes as he did so. I smiled at the tone of his voice.
"I walk alone, I walk alone
I walk alone, I walk a..." We both sung, me singing backup for 'Austin'. Austin played his guitar harder than before, being less gentle as the song became louder.
"My shadow's the only one that walks beside me.
My shallow heart's the only thing that's beating.
Sometimes I wish someone out there will find me,
'Til then I walk alone..." We both sung together loudly and passionately, giving it all our best. When we stopped the long note we held 'Austin' started tapping his foot in the rhythm of the song while still playing his guitar and I started head-banging.
"Ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah, aaah-ah,
Ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah..." I sung proudly. 'Austin was head-banging as I was singing.
"I'm walking down the line
That divides me somewhere in my mind
On the border line
Of the edge and where I walk alone
Read between the lines
Of what's fucked up and everything's alright
Check my vital signs
To know I'm still alive and I walk alone." I sung while looking at the crowd that formed in front of us and walking in front of everybody like a rockstar would.
"I walk alone, I walk alone
I walk alone, I walk a..." I sung with 'Austin' singing backup for me.
"My shadow's the only one that walks beside me
My shallow heart's the only thing that's beating
Sometimes I wish someone out there will find me
'Til then I walk alone..." Me and my brother both sung loudly, rocking out like we've never before.
"Ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah, aaah-ah
Ah-ah, ah-ah
I walk alone
I walk a..." We both jumped as we stopped singing and 'Austin' started his awesome solo. It was awesome how he could play an electric guitar solo on his acoustic guitar and still manage to make it sound awesome. I was so lost in the music that I didn't notice the solo ending, and the rocking out turning into soft guitar strumming. That until the blonde started singing again.
"I walk this empty street
On the Boulevard of Broken Dreams
Where the city sleeps
And I'm the only one and I walk a..." He sung softly. As he finished singing, we both jumped at the same time and came back down just the time the refrain had to start and it was time to rock out again.
"My shadow's the only one that walks beside me
My shallow heart's the only thing that's beating
Sometimes I wish someone out there will find me
'Til then I walk alone..." We both sung loudly, before 'Austin' started rocking again on his guitar. I was jumping around like there was no tomorrow, until 'Austin's solo ended and we finished the song.
Only the time we did our last pose we noticed how huge of a crowd there was in front of us. There could be a concert with that many people! They all clapped and congratulated us.
*End of Flashback*
"And this is how we got the money to eat and get in the bus. Now, here we are…" I say and realize that 'Austin' had already woken up.
"Wow! You have been through a lot and you are amazing musicians… I'm surprised that you haven't gone viral yet…" Rydel states.
"Well, we are trying to find ourselves first and live our lives the most…" I say.
"Yea! And all we need to do that are our birth certificates…" 'Austin' says and we look down, knowing that we would have to wait until we are 18 years old to get them.
"We can help you!" Riker shouts, and we look up surprised.
"You can?" We both ask, simultaneously.
"We can?" Rydel asks as shocked as we are.
"Of course we can! Well, not us technically… But I know who would…"
Hello hello friendssss!
Chapter 7 whaaaaaaaaat? It's finally here YAY! Anyway this has been SO fun to write, so we hope you enjoy it too!
So some of you may be familiar with these songs, mostly because they are well-known. The songs we used were: Ain't No Way We're Going Home by R5, Wake Me Up by Avicii, and Boulevard Of Broken Dreams by Green Day. I actually wasn't familiar with Boulevard Of Broken Dreams, but it turned out to be an amazing song, and thanks to Joan for introducing it to me.
ALSO! Easter holidays have started just yesterday for our country, so you would probably expect for more updates. But... I will have french exams on April 16th (Yes, that lucky. The day that All Day, All Night comes out), so I'm gonna have extra lessons, so probably if there will be any updates they will be from Jay, so I AM NOT HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR WHATEVER SHE WRITES!
Anyway, I hope you enjoyed this chapter, and see you next timeee!
