(Garroth)
"Yes yes, this magazine is a good thing" Chad, our manager, was rambling about the article about Aph and I.
"But-" I started, but of course, Chad had to interrupt.
"You don't understand Garroth, this will increase your popularity, and it'll make people more interested. Public says we're getting boring y'know, we need to spice up the life of this band. Now one of you guys should get engaged, or maybe come out of the closet, or maybe one should get kicked out of the band..." Chad kept rambling and I looked over to Zenix.
"Bro, what's wrong? You have that look on your face" Zenix whispered.
"It's nothing"
"Dude, you always make that face when you're upset"
"Bro, its nothing. Don't stress"
"You're my bro, I'm gonna stress"
"Don't worry"
"Is this about that chick?"
"That chick, has a name"
"So it is about her"
I was about to tell Zenix he was wrong, but Chad interrupted us
"Zenix, Garroth, please pay attention" I pretended to pay attention, but my mind was elsewhere.
It seems like all these words are so far from the truth, what did I do to get here?
Her words echoed through my thoughts.
"I'm gonna go write" I grumbled while leaving Chad and the rest of the band. I started scribbling some song lyrics.
It seems all of these words couldn't be further from the truth
How did I get here? What did I do?
Your eyes, telling me lies
And making me find myself
While you have your agenda, a life to pursue
I started adding music, and the song didn't sound bad at all.
"Bro" I turned and saw Laurence in the doorway, "we have a concert to play tonight, we leave in three hours. So cheer up" he left before I could snap at him. I just went back to the song I was writing.
Three hours later
Here I was sitting backstage, we go on in half an hour.
"Ugh, I'm so exhausted" Laurence yawned while drinking his coffee.
"Well maybe you shouldn't text Katelyn all night" Dante scoffed.
"You're one to talk"
"Both of you shut up!" Zenix groaned.
We were all getting agitated, but after spending a whole day with Chad, that tends to happen.
"What song are we doing at the end?" Dante questioned.
"Well, Garroth was writing one earlier" Laurence sighed.
"We don't all know it" Zenix pointed out.
"It can be a solo, plus, we get out early" Laurence suggested. Everyone agreed, but me.
"But-"
"Ok, The Phoenix Guard, you're on"
We went on stage and the familiar cheers were heard.
"Hey! How's everybody doin' tonight?" I asked through the mic, ear-splitting screams erupted and I laughed.
"Awesome, so some of you may know this song...its called Runaway"
We played through the songs, and the concert was going great! Then it neared the end.
"Ok guys, so we're gonna end with something new. Garroth here has something new" Dante patted my shoulder and the other three went silent as I sat on a stool.
"Hey, ok this might go horribly wrong, I only wrote this song today. I wrote it because someone I know said some words, and it hurt. So...this is called Pretend"
I was held my acoustic guitar close and started playing.
"It seems all of these words couldn't be further from the truth
How did I get here? What did I do?
Your eyes, telling me lies
And making me find myself
While you have your agenda, a life to pursue
So please,
Let me be free from you.
And please, let me be free
I can face the truth.
I'm blind to all of your colors
That used to be rainbow then
My eyes, where did they go to?
Why disappear?
It's hard to be all alone
I never got through your disguise
I guess I'll just go, and face all my fear
So please,
Let me be free from you
And please, let me be free
I can face the truth.
Put down your world
Just for one night
Pick me again
So please,
Let me be free from you
And please, let me be free
I can face the truth"
The crowd cheered as the song ended. We thanked them and left the stage.
"So is that about Aphmau?" Zenix asked as we walked out to the bus.
"No, don't be ridiculous"
"Don't be stubborn"
"Garroth?"
I froze at the soft voice behind me. Zenix got on the bus and I slowly turned around.
Standing there, in the dim moonlight, stood Azura.
My ex
A/N Dun Dun duuuun. Bringing Azura into this. Sorry this part kinda sucked, but y'know it is what it is. I love you all devils byeee
