White Noise-BVB A.U. (Book 3)

Chapter 28

Cath's POV
---------------
There was yelling and lights and smoke. A sea of people; some with their hands up, some with their hands cupping the side of their mouths, but everyone was yelling.

It was the loudest sound I have ever heard and it horrified me.

I shook my head, took the guitar off of my shoulder and started walking back backstage, "Nope."

Andy chased me, placed his hands on my shoulders and pushed me back on trail to the stage. "You're going out there, you're gonna do great. I swear, it won't be that bad. Once this first song is over you're gonna feel like you're on top of the world. Go on, I love you, break a leg!"

Pushed onstage I hesitantly walked towards my mic. The lights turned off and the crowed abruptly went quiet. Confused murmurs went around and my heart rate accelerated. I sat down on the pew placed in front of the microphone stand and propped the guitar's lower bout on my knee.

In position, ready to start, I sing the first lyric.

Stroking the notes on the guitars I try to focus on the song instead of the people watching me, putting as much emotion as I can into the song.

Andy's POV
--------------

"I feel these limbs are growing cold to numb
Take a good look at what I've become
There's a hole in my chest
And I don't think it's leaving room for anyone

There's a burning love for me at rest
Yeah, pounding at the walls of my flesh
I'm trying my best
Just to let it set before I come undone

Oh I can't see
The whites are missing from my eyes
I can't breathe
I'm doing everything to bring this body back to life"

By this point into the song Cath had everyone mesmerized. It probably wasn't what they expected to see at a show like this, but it was a nice change to hear a smooth, calming voice in this aura of crazy.

"I'm afraid of shutting down tonight
Yeah I've got this feeling deep inside
No matter how hard I try
I don't think I will make it through the night

Oh I can't see
The whites are missing from my eyes
I can't breathe
I'm doing everything to bring this body back to life

And I'm, afraid of shutting down tonight
I've got this feeling deep inside
No matter how hard I try
I don't think I will make it through the night

And there's a burning love for me at rest
I'm pounding at the walls of my flesh
I'm trying my best
But I can feel this all deep in my chest

I can't see
The whites are missing from my eyes
I can't breathe
I'm doing everything to bring this body back to life

I can't see
The whites are missing from my eyes
I can't breathe
I'm doing everything to bring this body back to life

I can't see
No I can't breathe
I'm doing everything, everything"

"Oh man, that was...amazing. Unreal, astounding, phenomenal, mind-blowing, sensational-"

"Alright alright," I laughed and wrapped my arms around Cath's waist, resting my chin on her head. "You were breathtaking."

"Really?" She asked.

"Really." Leaving a quick kiss on the side of her head I started walking away. "How can I follow up something like that!?" I said loudly.
