Screaming in the Dark (Finished)

Chapter Thirty-Five

A/N Song is "Awake and Alive" By skillet video is on the side. 

We quickly started the next song feeding off of the energy of the crowed. The next song was called Awake and Alive.

And that’s exactly how I felt at the moment. Awake and alive. The more people who filled the club from the street the more alive I felt. I thought it would be the opposite. I thought the more people to show the more nervous I became, but it was like I was feeding off of the crowds energy.

I’m at war with the world and they try to pull me into the dark.

I struggle to find my faith.

As I’m slippin’ from your arms.

Jared started off the song.

It’s getting harder to stay awake and my strength is fading fast.

You breath into me at last!!!

I had way more then backup vocals in this song. I actually had my own little verses and I was loving it. I pulled my mike out of the mike stand. Holding it in my right hand as I continued to hold onto the mike stand in my left. Pushing the stand away from me as I sang.

I’m awake

I’m alive

Now I know what I believe inside.

We took turns singing. As I walked over to him dragging the mike stand behind me.

Now!! It’s my time!

We sang together as I placed my mike back into the mike stand.

I’ll do what I want cause this is my life.

Here!

Right here.

Right now!

Right now.

We sang back and forth. By this point my hands were up over my head.

I’ll stand my ground and never back down.

I sang as I throw my hands around the mike.

I know what I believe inside.

Jared sang and then we sang together.

I’m awake and I’m alive.

There was a break in singing so I just danced to the beat around  my mike stand. Jared was frantically spinning all over the stage. I took a look back at  the crowed to see it is in fact still getting bigger and everyone was giving us there undivided attention. Even the staff at the bar.

I’m at war with the world cause I ain’t never gonna sell my soul.

I’ve already made up my mind.

No matter what I can’t be bought or sold.

Jared sang from the middle of the stage. I decided to join him so I grabbed my mike and made my way over to him while I sang.

When my faith is getting weak.

And I feel like giving in.

You breath into me again.

Jared smiled at me before he started his next line. I felt my stomach do a small flip. Not because of nerves but because I was happy. I knew what that look was. I have seen it many times. At that moment Jared decided that he wanted me. The lust was written all over his face.

I’m awake

I’m alive

Now I know what I believe inside.

Now! It’s my time!

We sang together.

I’ll do what I want cause this is my life.

Here!

Right here.

Right now!

Right now

I’ll stand my ground and never back down.

I know what I believe inside

I’m awake and I’m alive.

Waking up! Waking up!

Waking up! Waking up!

Waking up! Waking up!

Waking up! Waking up!

Jared sang four times.

In the dark

I can feel you in my sleep.

In your arms I can feel you breath into me.

We sang together.

Forever hold this heart.

That I will give to you.

Jared sang directly to me not even breaking eye contact as he did. I could not help but smile at how stupid that actually was.

Forever I will live for you…

We sang together. There was another breath to show of the rest of the band. I took this time to scan the crowed. I could not believe that I was going this. I felt great. So great like this is where I belonged. Up on a stage singing in front of people. I could not help but wonder how I never realized this before.

The break ended and it was time for us to again sing together.

I’m awake! I’m alive.

Now I know what I believe inside.

Now! It’s my time!

I’ll do what I cause this is my life.

Here!

Here

Right now

Right now

I’ll stand my ground and never back down.

I know what I believe inside.

I’m awake and I’m alive.

Waking up. Waking up.

Waking up! Waking up!

Waking up! Waking up!

Waking up! Waking up!

The song came to an end and Izzy came over and wrapped her arm around me.

“You’re doing great.” She whispered into my ear.

I had no idea how I was able to hear her over the sound of the crowed.

“Are you ready?” Jared asked me.

The last song had the most singing on my part than any of the others.

“Hell yes.” I told him.

He just smirked and walked back to the center of the stage.
