A betraying tear falls from my eye. I manage to wipe it away before it falls and hits the sheet. I can't help but look through the rest of the songs.
What was I thinking?
Everyone sees it
It's not a secret
That I'm just a reject
Sick of the system
Don't want to hear it
It's not a secret
That I'm just a reject
I fanned through the rest of the sheets, briefly reading the choruses. It wasn't like they'd written a few songs - I found track lists for an album, and two EP's.
Why had Luke lied to me?
He had told me that the band was awful. He should've told me it was his band. Someone should have told me!
Most of the songs were written by Michael, Calum, Ashton, Luke, Charlotte, Lianne and Izzy, but I think the band was only the boys. However, I saw some of the songs were were written by Charlotte alone, and it appeared that the band hadn't performed them. Some of the things seemed very depressing.
Inside I'm crying,
All the time, and
It eats me out from inside;
The smiles in my life
Are often lies,
But I keep it all buried deep
Relatable, I guess.
'Holly?'
I heard Charlotte's voice behind me, and I span round to face her.
'Holly, what's wrong?' She says, coming over to me, looking concerned.
She looks at the table, and sees I've been looking at the songs.
'Sorry,' I try to explain, 'I just needed paper, and I saw lyrics I recognised, and... Why didn't he tell me?'
'Come here,' Charlotte says quietly, hugging me. 'I'll explain it all.'
