I sat on the stairs to Josh's apartment and waited for him to come back home. He'd been gone all day and I started to worry about him. He never used to be gone such long time.
Well, I also waited for Seth to pick me up because we were going to play a little acoustic set at some bar tonight.
I saw someone walk down the street. It was Josh.
"Where have you been?" I asked and started to walk towards him.
"Different places", he mumbled .
He stopped walking when we met each other. I looked up in his eyes. Something was wrong. It was like he was there but at the same time not. That wasn't the eyes I used to see when I looked on him.
"What are you doing outside?" he asked.
"Waiting for Seth, we have a concert remember?"
"Oh that's right."
"Are you coming with me?" I asked.
"Uhm no, not today. I'm eh kinda tired", he sad and started to walk over to the apartment.
"Okay", I said but he was already inside.
What had happened with him? He'd changed so much over the last weeks. Where was the guy I first met?
Seth's car pulled over next to me and I got in. "Hi Liz", he said happily.
"Hi."
"Is something wrong?" he asked.
"Uhm no. Just had a little argument with Josh earlier, that's all", I said and smiled a weak smile, that was all I could manage to do.
"Are you sure you're okay? You seem pretty down?"
"Yeah I'm sure."
I didn't want to show my friends what was really going on. I didn't want them to see how much the whole situation with Josh bothered me.
We arrived to the bar which was full of people, not so many fans though. I was excited to play in front of a complete new audience and to play acoustic as well, I loved acoustic.
The guy who owned the bar met us at the door. "Hi, my name is Paul I'm so glad you're here", he said.
"Well we're happy to be here", Seth said.
Paul showed us the way to the stage. It was a really small stage but it was enough for who people. On the stage was two chairs and two microphones.
"You can start whenever you feel ready", Paul said and walked away.
We sat down on the chairs.
Most of the people in the bar went silent when they saw us on the stage.
"Hi, we're Tell The Night and we're going to play some songs for you", I said and Seth started to play the first song.
"Easy on the eyes and easy on the heart
Sold my wish out
Sold my wish out with hope streaming to light
Shining bright eyes day to dream days
And I day to dream is gone what I wanna know is thick
Make you smile less
Here's to the pain, the light of the oncoming train
Come on
Ode to solitude in chains
Here's to the pain as always heaven in flames
