Planetary(Go)

But You'll Just Never Know

Gerard's P.O.V

I sneaked a glance at Velocity as she stood at stage side with Brian. She smiled, shyly at me. I smiled then turned back to the crowd.
"I wanna hear you scream." I shouted, then held the Mic out as I cupped my ear.
The crowd screamed.
I put the Mic back to my mouth. "You can do better than that." I told them. "Louder." I held the Mic out again.
The crowd screamed louder.
I brought the Mic back to my mouth. "Better." I said as the intro music to Planetary(go) started up. "I wanna hear you sing loud. Help me out."
They cheered, loud.

"​There might be something outside your window,
but you just never know.​​
There could be something right past the turnpike gates,
but you just never know.​​
If my velocity starts to make you sweat,"

I looked at Velocity and winked. I was pleased to see she blushed.

"Then just don't let go
And if their Heaven ain't got a vacancy,
Then we just, then we just, then we just,
Then we just get up and go!

Ladies and gentlemen:
Truth is now acceptable.
Fame is now injectable.
Process the progress.
This core is critical.
Faith is unavailable.
Lives become incredible.
Now, please understand that,

I can't slow down.
I won't be waiting for you.
I can't stop now,
Because I'm dancing.
This planet's ours to defend.
Ain't got no time to pretend.
Don't fuck around,
This is our last chance.

If my velocity starts to make you sweat,
Then just don't let go.
'Cause the emergency room got no vacancy,
And we just, and we just, and we just
And we just get up and go!

(Who) they want you to be.
(Who) they wanted to see.
(Go) kill the party with me
And never go home.
(Who) they want you to be.
(Who) they wanted to see.
Just leave the party with me, and never go home.

You're unbelievable,
Ah, so unbelievable.
Ah, you ruin everything.
Oh, you better go home.
I'm unbelievable,
Yeah, I'm undefeatable.
Yeah, let's ruin everything,
Blast it to the back row.

They sell presentable.
Young, and so ingestible.
Sterile and collectible.
Safe, and I can't stand it.
This is a letter my word.
Is the berretta.
The sound of my vendetta.
Against the ones who planned it.

If my velocity starts to make you sweat,
Then just don't let go.
'Cause the emergency room got no vacancy.
Tell me who do you trust,
Do you trust,
And we just,
Get up and go!

(Who) they want you to be.
(Who) they wanted to see.
(Go) kill the party with me,
And never go home.
(Who) they want you to be.
(Who) they wanted to see.
Just leave the party with me, and never go home.

You keep eternity,
Give us the radio.
Deploy the battery,
We're taking back control.
Engage the energy,
Light up the effigy.
No chance to take it slow,
By now I'm sure you
Know, know, know, know, know, know.
(1, 2, 3, go!)
Get up and go!

(Who) they want you to be.
(Who) they wanted to see.
(Go) kill the party with me,
And never go home.
(Who) they want you to be.
(Who) they wanted to see.
Just leave the party with me, and never go home.

Are we still having fun?
Are you holding the gun?
Take the money and run.
We'll never go home.
I've got nothing to lose.
You've got nothing to say.
And we're leaving today.
We'll never go home.

I think I'm gonna go now.
I think I'm gonna go now.
I think I better go now.
Gonna go now, gonna go now, gonna go now, gonna go now,
Go now, gonna go now,
Go home!"

Velocity's P.O.V

To say I was scared is a understatement. I could see the crowd out front. Gerard looked over at me every few minutes, making me blush. But I could still feel myself beginning to panic. My breathing became ragged. Brian noticed and put a arm around me. He was saying something, but I couldn't make it out. I leaned against the wall and slid down to sit on my ass. I pulled my knees to my chest and hugged my legs. I closed my eyes and rested the back of my head on the wall.
I tried to remember how Mum used to calm me down. She'd tell me to sing. I can't sing too loud. I'm still aware of Brian watching me. What do I sing? I remember a song I heard playing in the bus. It was by Evanescence. So I started to sing, quietly.

"I've been looking in the mirror for so long,
That I've come to believe my souls on the other side.
All the little pieces falling, shatter,
Shards of me,
Too sharp to put back together.
Too small to matter,
But big enough to cut me into so many little pieces,
If I try to touch her.

And I bleed,
I bleed.
And I breathe,
I breathe no more.

Take a breath and I try to draw from my spirit's well.
Yet again you refuse to drink like a stubborn child.
Lie to me,
Convince me that I've been sick forever,
And all of this will make sense when I get better.
But I know the difference,
Between myself and my reflection.
I just can't help but to wonder,
Which of us do you love?

So I bleed,
I bleed,
And I breathe,
I breathe no,
Bleed,
I bleed,
And I breathe,
I breathe,
I breathe,
I breathe no more."

I feel calmer now. But then I notice everything's quiet. I open my eye's, slowly. Brian is staring at me in surprise. But even worse, a camera is aimed my way and Gerard is smiling at me. Then the crowd start to cheer. The guys are watching me as Gerard speaks into the mic, still watching me.
"Well that was unexpected." He said. "That was the amazing Velocity Starr. A very close friend." He moved the mic away to finish speaking. "But hopefully something more, eventually."
I blush and look down. Oh god. I don't know what to do. I kinda like Gerard. But I don't know how to be around people anymore. I had friends at school. But that was a long time ago. I've never been in a relationship. I don't know how to be in one. I sighed as Brian crouched down infront of me.
"Are you okay?"He asked with a small smile.
I looked back at him. "I'm scared, B...Brian." I told him.
He knelt down infront of me and took my hands in his. "What are you scared of, sweetheart?" He asked, softly.
I sighed again. "Everything. Being a...around people a...again. G...Gerard."
He frowned. "Gerard?"
I gulped. "W...what if I c...can't cope? What I...if I lose it? A...and Gerard.....l...likes me. W...what if I d...disappoint h...him? What if I...I'm not w...what he wanted? I...I've been on my o...own for so l...long. I don't know h...how to be around, l...let alone with someone. I...I'm scared." I could feel the tears running down my cheeks. "W...what if I b...become like D...dad?"
Brian pulled me into his arms and rubbed my back. "No honey." He soothed. "You won't ever be like your Dad."
"What's wrong, Velocity?" Gerard asked as the concert ended.
I felt Brian move to look at him. "She's scared, Gerard." He told him. "She thinks she's not going to be good enough."
"For what?" Gerard queried.
"People, life, you."
Gerard dropped to his knees and cupped my face to look at him. "Don't ever think your not good enough." He said. "People will love you just as much as we all do." He wiped the tears off my face. "And hopefully you'll allow me to show you that your more than good enough for me."

Love as always. xxx
