Kiana and The Boys

Chapter 16

~not edited~

After rushing around after Lily, it was Josh's turn for a few days. I was quite lucky how that had worked out, because today I was meeting Tom in the music studio. I don't know why, but I felt extremely nervous about singing for him. It's not even as though I was normally nervous.

I made my way down a long narrow corridor, round the back of the school to the music block. 'KR2 and music studio.' The door read. I gently clicked the door open after taking a deep breath. Inside was amazing. It was like a proper recoding studio, with an audio mixing desk, with all the sound editing keys and an actual booth. It was amazing. I had only ever dreamed over a studio like this.

"Kiana, you came," Tom said, sat at the mixing desk, sounding genuinely surprised.

"Course I came. I've been looking forward to this all week." I answered taking in my surroundings.

He smiled softly. "D - Do you have a particular song you are going to sing?" He asked nervously.

Turning back to him, I replied, "oh yeah. Err, 'Because of You' Kelly Clarkson." I replied. This had to be one of my favourite songs and I loved to sing it.

"Wow! Make your way into the booth." He replied. I smiled and entered the booth. I loved it. The door slowly closed as the familiar tune started.

I will not make
The same mistakes that you did
I will not let myself
'Cause my heart so much misery
I will not break
The way you did, you fell so hard
I've learned the hard way
To never let it get that far

Because of you
I never stray too far from the sidewalk
Because of you
I learned to play on the safe side
So I don't get hurt
Because of you
I find it hard to trust
Not only me, but everyone around me
Because of you, I am afraid

I lose my way
And it's not too long before you point it out
I cannot cry
Because I know that's weakness in your eyes
I'm forced to fake
A smile, a laugh, every day of my life
My heart can't possibly break
When it wasn't even whole to start with

Because of you
I never stray too far from the sidewalk
Because of you
I learned to play on the safe side
So I don't get hurt
Because of you
I find it hard to trust
Not only me, but everyone around me
Because of you, I am afraid

I watched you die,
I heard you cry
Every night in your sleep
I was so young, you should have known
Better than to lean on me
You never thought of anyone else
You just saw your pain
And now I cry, in the middle of the night
for the same damn thing

Because of you
I never stray too far from the sidewalk
Because of you
I learned to play on the safe side
So I don't get hurt
Because of you
I find it hard to trust
Not only me, but everyone around me
Because of you, I am afraid

Because of you
I tried my hardest just to forget everything
Because of you
I don't know how to let anyone else in
Because of you
I'm ashamed of my life because it's empty
Because of you, I am afraid

Because of you
oh oh oh
Because of you
oh oh oh.

Once I had finished, I opened my eyes to see Tom grinning and clapping his hands together. I exited the studio.
