[7] Today I'm On My Own [William Beckett]

"And what would that be?" I aksed.
"You, my dear, are coming with me" Will said smiling.
"Do I have a choice?" I asked.
"Nope" he said popping the 'p'.
"I figured as much" I said sighing.
"It'll be fun" he said.
"Okay" I said uneasily. He hadn't lied so far but that didn't mean I was going to trust him. For all I know he's going to kill me any second. He rolled his eyes.
"For the tenth time, i'm not going to kill you" he said sincerely.
"Words" I muttered darkly. He sighed and helped me off the ferris wheel. We faded into a huge crowd. The screaming and music made it impossible to say anything, even if it was screamed. Will gestured for me to follow him and I did. As we walked through the crowd nobody seemed to notice us. Will probably made us invisible.
When we got to the stage we went around and found ourselves backstage. "Why exactly are we here?" I asked.
"You are here to listen and I am here to do my job" he said.
"What would your 'job' entail?" I asked, scared all of the sudden. Once again he rolled his eyes.
"It has nothing to do with killing you" he said.
"It best not" I said. He laughed and placed a kiss on my cheek before walking on stage. I ran my hand across the place where he had just kissed me and sighed dreamily. I immediately snapped out of it and hit my head with my hand.
I left backstage to sit in the front row. The seat I chose was dead center and when I looked up Will was right in front with a microphone in hand.
"Hey guys" he said into the microphone,"we are the academy is..." There was a deafening raor of applause and screams. I looked at the rest of the people on the stage and only one was farmiliar. The one with long black hair that I tried to stab had a guitar in hand.
The drummer counted them in and the band started playing. By the end of the first song my jaw was dropped. it was the single most amazing thing I had ever head.
Will's voice was amazing. I had half a mind to applaud but then I remembered I was supposed to hate him. Funny thig was, I couldn't do it anymore. Will had been so nice that i really had no reason to hate him. And the wierd part is that he wasn't controlling my mind. They introduced a song called '40 steps' and Will spoke into the microphone.
"This is dedicated to Emily" he said grinning like a chessie cat. The song started and I was paying close attention.
Soft light, total silence
So tired to take the table near the door
The table near the door
Set back under fire
Only as stable as I choose to show
If I choose to show
But where were you that night?
When I was...
It was a good song so far.

Well, I feel that this an explosion
Nobody else could ever really know
I would follow you anywhere
You say you don't believe in science
You're always afraid of what you can't control
I would follow you anywhere
But where were you that night?
When I was...

I was in shock now. Why would he dedicate this to me of all people? I kept listening and got happier and happier with each word and I didn't know why.
You say you don't believe in science
You're always ashamed of what you're willing to lose
I would follow you anywhere
But where were you that night?
When I was...
When I was calling for the answer
That you probably shouldn't know
When it feels like flames surrounding me here
When you were calling with your questions
And all I needed was to know
When it feels like flames surrounding me here

Nearly everyone in the arena had pulled out their cell phones and started waving them like a candle.

So this is it
So this is it
So this is the silence
So this is the silence we began
It's never quite
It's never quite over
It's never quite over in the silence
When I was calling for the answer
That you probably shouldn't know
When it feels like flames surrounding me here
When you were calling with your questions
And all I needed was to know
When it feels like flames surrounding me here
It was at that moment that I fell in love. In love with William Beckett.
You always let me down
(Picture in results!)
