Three days later
Ghost promised he'd turn up with Ricky.
Me, Ryan, Vinny and TJ were doing a last minute rehearsal when I heard Ghost's voice. "Don't worry, it's just something I had to show you." Ricky mumbled something before Ghost popped into the room with Ricky following.
He tensed up when he saw me but sat down to see whatever the hell Ghost had to show him. "We're thinking about covering this for one of the shows." He mumbled before Ryan, Vinny, TJ and himself started playing their parts.
I took a deep breath and began my part.
"You turn me off at the push of a button,
And you pretend that it don't mean nothing,
I'm not a saint that's easy to tell,
But guess what honey,
You ain't no angel.
You like to scream use words as a weapon,
Well go ahead, take your best shot woman.
I wanna leave you it's easy to see,
But guess what honey it's not that easy.
We get so complicated,
This fingers for our memories.
So rip my pictures from your wall,
Tear them down and burn them all
Light the fire and walk away
There's nothing left to say so
Take the ashes from the floor.
Bury them to just make sure
That nothing more is left of me
but bittersweet memories."
Ricky's stone face seemed to crumble as we moved into the next verse. It took all of my restraint not to go and pull him into my arms.
"Ah.
I wanna run and escape from your poison,
But when I leave I feel something is missing,
I'm not afraid that's easy to tell,
This can't be heaven it feels like I'm in hell.
You're like a drug that I can't stop taking,
I want more and I can't stop craving.
I still want you it's easy to see
But g-gu-guess... no I can't."
I broke off and walked out, violently wiping the tears off of my face and sitting down away from everybody. I just couldn't keep singing, not to him. It hurt, especially with the song I was singing.
Ricky walked out and sat down in front of me, lifting my head with his index finger. "They're still waiting for you to finish the song...it was beautiful Chris. Please finish it."
"I-I just..."
"Please?" He asked with his blue eyes gleaming.
I nodded and he smiled softly, grabbing my hand and leading me back to the room. He sat back down as I walked up and grabbed the microphone.
"But guess what honey your not that good for me.
We get so complicated,
This fingers for our memories.
So rip my pictures from your wall,
Tear them down and burn them all
Light the fire and walk away
There's nothing left to say so
Take the ashes from the floor.
Bury them to just make sure
That nothing more is left of me
but bittersweet memories."
Ryan ended up doing the backing vocals when ever needed before he opened up into the solo. "We get so complicated.
This fingers for our memories.
We get so complicated...
So rip my pictures from your wall,
Tear them down and burn them all
Light the fire and walk away
There's nothing left to say so
Take the ashes from the floor.
Bury them to just make sure
That nothing more is left of me
but bittersweet memories.
Whoa...
There's nothing left to say...
There's nothin left to say..."
As soon as we finished the song, Ricky walked up to me and looked up into my eyes, before he took a deep breath. "Why did you choose that song?"
"I wanted to sing it to you..." I admitted, keeping my head low.
"Is that my ring?" He murmured, touching the ring softly before he made me look at him. When I nodded, he flung his arms around me and hid his face in my chest. "I'm so stupid!" He bawled, clinging onto me.
I forgot about everybody else as I held onto him, murmuring random shit in his ear until he managed to calm down. "I'm so sorry..." I whispered.
Ricky sighed and looked at the others, sending them a message without saying anything. They all left, coming up with random excuses as to why they had to go. The moment the door shut, Ricky pressed his lips to mine.
I kissed him back, pulling him against me as tears rolled down my cheeks. "Don't cry...please don't cry." He said softly, wiping my tears away as he clung onto me. "I know why you didn't tell me, Dev told me about it yesterday...and I forgive you, I was overreacting and I'm sorry. So fucking sorry."
"N-n-no I'm sorry I-I should've told you..." I whimpered, hiding my face in his shoulder. I didn't want him to leave...
