Chapter Nine

I was laying upside down on the couch, my legs resting on the back while my head was towards the floor, my earbuds in while Jake and CC played Resident Evil on the Xbox. I couldn't help but chuckle since the song I was listening to was a Nightcore version of the original song, which was kind of ironic since both the song and the game were about Zombies. (). I took out one of my earbuds and and turned the volume up all the way as the music started.

"B-b-b-b-b-back-back-back
B-b-b-b-b-back-back-back
B-b-b-b-b-back-back-back
B-b-b-b-b-back-back-back"

Since I was upside down, I could see that Zack was smiling. Like me, he listened to Skillet, too, and knew all their songs by heart.

"Cold and black inside this coffin
Cause you all try to keep me down
How it feels to be forgotten
But you'll never forget me now"

I pretended to claw at my eyes, making Andy and Lonny laugh as my voice raised with the beat up the music. I unplugged my earbuds and put my phone up against my leg.

"Enemies clawing at my eyes
I scratch and bleed, just to stay alive, yeah
The zombies come out at night
They'll never catch me
They'll never catch me"

Zack moved so that he was sitting next to me with his back against the couch and grabbed my hand as he started singing this time.

"B-b-b-b-b-back-back-back
B-b-b-b-b-back-back-back"

Both of grinned as the music started back up again.

"Light it up, light it up, now I'm burning
Feel the rush, feel the rush of adrenaline
We are young, we are strong, we will rise
Cause I'm back, back, back from the dead tonight
To the floor, to the floor, hit the red line
Flying high, flying high at the speed of light
Full of love, full of light, full of fight
Cause I'm back, back, back from the dead tonight"

I rolled off the couch so that I was sitting next to him. When the instrumental started, both of us started head banging, which was a habit of ours with any rock song we listen to at this point.

"B-b-b-b-b-back-back-back
B-b-b-b-b-back-back-back"

"Enemies clawing at my eyes
I scratch and bleed, just to stay alive, yeah
The zombies come out at night
They'll never catch me
They'll never catch me
B-b-b-b-b-back-back-back
B-b-b-b-b-back-back-back"

"Light it up, light it up, now I'm burning
Feel the rush, feel the rush of adrenaline
We are young, we are strong, we will rise
Cause I'm back, back, back from the dead tonight
To the floor, to the floor, hit the red line
Flying high, flying high at the speed of light
Full of love, full of light, full of fight
Cause I'm back, back, back from the dead tonight
Back, back, back from the dead tonight"

"Deep down, for the count, don't you dare cut me out
Never break, never bow
Never beg, not a doubt"

"The zombies come out at night
They'll never catch me
They'll never catch me
B-b-b-b-b-back-back-back
B-b-b-b-b-back-back-back
B-b-b-b-b-back-back-back
B-b-b-b-b-back-back-back"

"Light it up, light it up, now I'm burning
Feel the rush, feel the rush of adrenaline
We are young, we are strong, we will rise
Cause I'm back, back, back from the dead tonight
To the floor, to the floor, hit the red line
Flying high, flying high at the speed of light
Full of love, full of light, full of fight
Cause I'm back, back, back from the dead tonight
Back, back, back from the dead tonight"

"(B-b-b-b-b-back-back-back)
Dead tonight
(B-b-b-b-b-back-back-back)
Back from the dead tonight
(B-b-b-b-b-back-back-back)
Dead tonight
(B-b-b-b-b-back-back-back)
Back from the dead tonight"

Andy and Jinxx were clapping, Jake and CC whistled while Lonny just stared, shocked. He was the only one who never heard me sing before until now. "Damn, Alex. I didn't know you could sing like that."

"It took years of practice but even so, my mom was a famous rock star." I said, smiling as I remembered the stories my dad used to tell me and the video's Andy showed me of her concerts where she did covers of songs by Evanescence, Disturbed and FireFlight. I picked up her habit of that and started singing covers a few years ago but I never performed in front of anyone so no one knows except for the band, Zack and Juliet.
