AN: So, here I go with the next Chapter. I want to apologize for my outburst in the earlier Chapter but I don't take well to people who joke about serious things. Enjoy reading -Keisha BTW Disclaimer I don't own LWD or any of the Characters I'm just having fun, nor do I own the Lyrics to the Song „Complicated" by Avril Lavigne, though the Lyrics in the former Chapter were my own creation.
Chapter 7 Musings
Casey's POV
The first night beneath this roof... and I can't sleep. I can hear my father's parting words repeating in my head over and over. I grab my headphones and my guitar and start to play. The music is blaring in my ears but it calms me like nothing else. I think Mom will enroll me into HighSchool here soon...
Mom...I'm not sure if she took my new image well...She seemed shell shocked and at a loss for words. I don't really care much about what she makes of me though, it's the way I am and she has to get over it. I turn the lights on and stare into the mirror. My brown blue hair, I think that it looks great the blue has been dyed into it in an ombre style that starts high in it, but the brown has been left ontop. Even without the make up the blue-blondish hair makes my eyes pop. I smile at my reflection. I have never looked so good before. I take my guitar and plug it in starting to play, turning the volume on the amplifier on the lowest setting so that the sound can be heard in my room only. I know that the walls are supposed to be soundproof but I don't want to test them out on my first night here.
I start playing and lose myself in the sound. I start playing the song „Complicated" by Avril Lavigne and unconsciously start singing along to the lyrics.
Chill out, what you yellin' for?
Lay back, it's all been done before
And if, you could only let it be
You will see
I like, you the way you are
When we're drivin' in your car
And you're, talkin' to me one on one
But you become
Somebody else
'Round everyone else
Your watchin' your back
Like you can't relax
You tryin' to be cool
You look like a fool to me
Tell me
Why'd you have to go and make things so complicated?
I see the way you're actin' like you're somebody else
Gets me frustrated
Life's like this you
You fall and you crawl and you break
And you take what you get, and you turn it into
Honestly, you promised me
I'm never gonna find you fake it
No no no
You come over unannounced
Dressed up, like you're somethin' else
Where you are ain't where it's at you see
You're makin' me
Laugh out, when you strike a pose
Take off, all your preppy clothes
You know, you're not foolin' anyone
When you become
Somebody else
'Round everyone else
Your watchin' your back
Like you can't relax
You tryin' to be cool
You look like a fool to me
Tell me
Why'd you have to go and make things so complicated?
I see the way you're actin' like you're somebody else
Gets me frustrated
Life's like this you
You fall and you crawl and you break
And you take what you get, and you turn it into
Honestly, you promised me
I'm never gonna find you fake it
No no no
(No no no)
No no
(No no no)
No no
(No no no)
No no
Ooh, chill out, what you yellin' for?
Lay back, it's all been done before
And if you could only let it be
You will see
Somebody else
'Round everyone else
Your watchin' your back
Like you can't relax
You tryin' to be cool
You look like a fool to me
Tell me
Why'd you have to go and make things so complicated?
I see the way you're actin' like you're somebody else
Gets me frustrated
Life's like this, you
You fall and you crawl and you break
And you take what you get, and you turn it into
Honestly, you promised me
I'm never gonna find you fake it
No no
Why'd you have to go and make things so complicated?
(Yea yea)
I see the way you're actin' like you're somebody else
Gets me frustrated
Life's like this you
You fall and you crawl and you break
And you take what you get, and you turn it into
Honestly, you promised me
I'm never gonna find you fake it
No no no
I stop singing and put the guitar away. I lay back in bed and blissfully close my eyes, drifting off to a slumber slowly.
Meanwhile Derek had been trying to listen in on the door, he'd come down to eat some of the left-overs from dinner and he liked what he heard. She could sing, and she could do it well... Nora had told him that she'd be enrolling Casey into the same High-School Derek went to, so both could ride the bus together. He was looking foreward to it, but he'd have to do something about her, too. He couldn't have anyone else date her. She was a mystery and she lived beneath his roof. He was sure that due to her looks and attitude she'd have guys at S.J Thompson crazy about her as soon as the first bell sounded. He just needed to hook her up with somone deemed so uncool that no one would want to touch her with a ten feet pole. Grinning he took his mobile and dialled his neighbour girl's number.
„Yeah, Emily... I wanted to ask a favour." He said. Grinning he told the girl he wanted her to befirend Casey and help her settle in... So far so good...
AN: Sorry that it's a short Chapter this time but I'll make it up to you guys in the next Chapter. As Always I'm looking foreward to you're reviews-Keisha
