HSMTMTS: The Core Four

23

Nini's POV

I've been awake since 6:00, I guess having electric superpowers made you super up and energetic.  I'm laying on my bed playing with the zipper on my black leather jacket.  I called Kourtney and Gina to come stop by when they're was awake.  As I'm waiting, I'm looking at the keyboard I have in my room.  The words Gina told me came to mind again.

Once you start doing something you love, you enter this whole new imaginary place that you never wanna leave, and all that fear fades away.

Is what she said true, I've only experienced that place once.  But I wanna go back there, I loved it, the stage, singing my heart out, and more importantly...I didn't care about what anyone else thought, my insecurities were gone, nothing was telling me I couldn't do anything.  No heart racing, no sweat palms, nothing.

I grab my keyboard and place it on my lap.  I start to play as I remember a familiar song, a song that really inspired me. And of course, a song that I literally love.

Here's one thing I want you to know
You got someplace to go
Life's a test, yes, but you go toe-to-toe
You don't give up, no, you grow

And you use your pain
'Cause it makes you "you"
Though I wish I could hold you through it
I know it's not the same
You got living to do
And I just want you to do it

So get up, get out, relight that spark
You know the rest by heart

As I start to get more comfortable singing, the sun's rising light shines through the window and climbs up the room. I kinda like where this is going.

Wake up, wake up if it's all you do
Look out, look inside of you
It's not what you lost
It's what you'll gain raising your voice in the rain

Wake up your dream and make it true
Look out, look inside of you
It's not what you lost
Relight that spark, time to come out of the dark
Wake up, wake up

Better wake those demons
Just look them in the eye
No reason not to try
Life can be a mess
I won't let it cloud my mind
I'll let my fingers fly

And I use the pain 'cause it's part of me
And I'm ready to power through it
Gonna find the strength, find the melody
'Cause you showed me how to do it

Get up, get out, relight that spark
You know the rest by heart

Wake up, wake up if it's all you do
Look out, look inside of you
It's not what you lost
It's what you'll gain raising your voice in the rain

Wake up your dream and make it true
Look out, look inside of you
It's not what you lost
Relight that spark, time to come out of the dark
Wake up, wake up

It's back. The huge audience, clapping at me, everything I once saw. I'm back on the stage, but this time, I'm sitting down at a Piano with a microphone holder, which is just as good as holding the microphone. I get up from my seat and stand, my mouth getting closer to the microphone.

So wake that spirit, spirit
I wanna hear it, hear it
No need to fear it, you're not alone
You're gonna find your way, oh

Wake up, wake up if it's all you do
Look out, look inside of you
It's not what you lost
It's what you'll gain raising your voice in the rain
