The Single's Train

The Afterlife Kids

Do the guys ever sleep? I thought when Hail woke me up bright and early as always. I think I’m finally getting used to the girls deafening snores, but it all goes to waist if I am up too early!

“Hello fascination. The new guys got here, the girls will come when they get up, and you still have to sing in front of them. If you want we can make it look less random?” he suggested

“Why does that mean I can’t sleep? Yeah, sure, last thing I need to look more messed up than I already am.”

“You can’t sleep, because I’m awake. Now get up.” He smirked

“No. I don’t want to get up!” I whined in a voice that was laced with sleep

“If you don’t get up in 5 seconds I will drag you out of bed!” He threatened

“You wouldn’t.” I dared

Obviously he would, because he counted back words from five to zero, then against my objections I was dragged out of bed. He didn’t stop there! Oh no, He scooped me into his arms as though I was weightless and wasn’t squirming to regain use of my own feet, with me in his arms he went into the next car.

“I swear to god Hail if you don’t put me down right now-“ I was interrupted

“You’ll do what?” He questioned

I wasn’t sure for a second until I remembered the flirting dare.

“You will just have to wait and see.” I replied still struggling to get out of his grasp

“If you keep on squirming I will drop you.” He threatened again

“Put me down and you won’t have to worry about me squirming!” I yelled

“Well now I’m defiantly not putting you down.” He smiled at me

I stopped struggling for a minute so I could punch him as hard as I could, but he didn’t even flinch!

“If you stay still for thirty seconds I will put you down. Okay?” He said probably annoyed that I punched him.

I counted to thirty as fast as I could, and he kept his word putting me down.  So I was sitting on the cold grey floor.

“Come on beautiful! You can’t just sit around all day!” he joked putting out his hand for me to take

“All right Hailey!” I said loudly enough for everyone to hear

I took his out stretched hand and was lifted up from the hard floor. He guided me to a black table opening a seat for me to sit down on. Whoa, he wasn’t pissed at me for using his full first name!

‘Play along’ he mouthed

“So I never found out, what is your favorite song?” he asked

“Dr. Bizzaro by The Afterlife Kids” I knew where this was going now

“I love that song!” a guy I didn’t recognize said

“Really? A lot of people don’t know it.” I was genuinely surprised

“Yeah! I have my guitar here, I could help you out a bit if you want?” He suggested

It seemed like he would be more than happy to do it! I smiled and nodded as he ran off to get his guitar from the other side of the room. As soon as the first three notes were played all eyes were on us. As soon as I heard my cue I started

“Never had the fear to touch,

Where the ceiling meets the wall,

So I know that you look greater cross than mine

I said bring me back to life.." I sang going into what felt like nirvana

“Alright, alright” The guy sang filling it in with his deep voice, he was pretty good

“I said bring me back to life" I sang a little louder

“Alright, alright” he filled in

“I said” I sang before he joined

“I don’t want to go home! I’m sorry, but

I don’t want to go home! I’m scared

I don’t want to go home! I’m sorry, but

I don’t want to go home! I’m scared” we sang blending our voices together

“Bring me back to life” I sang alone again

We continued along the same way until we got to the hardest part.

“The Dr. said he'll never breathe again

The Dr. said he'll never breathe again

The Dr. said he'll never breathe again” I sang getting louder with every line

“Bring me back to life” he sang showing me he was a little nervous as well

“The Dr. said he'll never breathe again” I raised my voice a little louder

“Bring me back to life” he sang in his smooth voice

“The Dr. said he'll never breathe again” even a little bit louder

“Bring me back to life”

“The Dr. said he'll never breathe again” I sang a lot louder than I normally would

“Bring me back to life” he seemed less nervous now

“The Dr. said he'll never breathe again” I sang louder, I have to be at my loudest for the next one. What if I can’t!

“Bring me back to life” he seemed to think I could

“The Dr. said, the Dr. said right” I almost yelled

I almost thought I wouldn’t get it! If each one doesn’t build tension and increase volume then I just sounds boring and repeatitive!

We finished off the rest of the song with only a few mistakes. I’m surprised it went that well! It’s not like we have rehearsed it before!

When I finally snapped out of my music coma I looked at Hail to see him utterly shocked. Just like the first time I sang in here the other guys seemed like they were in shock too. I looked at the guy who helped me, he just smiled at me.

“Hi, I’m Jazz. You’re really good, you know.” I said

“I’m Oscar, You’re an amazing singer. Normally people want to use the same volume on that one part. At first I was a bit nervous you would too, and thank you.” He seemed really nice

“I was really nervous threw that part! I thought that I wouldn’t be loud enough on ‘the doctor said, the doctor said right,’ I was freaking out!” I answered

“Well you did it perfectly. I’m surprised it went that well, I mean there were a few mistakes but it sounded like we rehearsed it before.” I smiled and nodded

“Jazz, I think you should go back before the girls wake up.” Hail said from behind me

“Alright, I guess I’ll talk to you later then Oscar.” I waved at Hail and left not even bothering to argue

I wonder what’s up his ass…
