After 3 long hours locked in my room, I had finally finished my new song, and all of the music sheets to go with it. I was very proud of myself as I[s]walked[/s] skipped downstairs to the studio parading it around.

I knew everyone would be there, and sure enough they were, with some exceptions.

“Hey everyone, and people I don’t know.” I yelled as I came down the stairs.

“Bree!” Jacoby yelled back.
“This is Jerry, the lead guitarist for the band, that’s Tony and he is on drums, and that’s Tobin and he is on bass.”

“Hi” I said
“So anyways, what are all of you dudes doing down here?”

“We need the studio to start the new album but it isn’t getting anywhere” Tobin said.

“Ohh, well I might be able to help you there.” I stated rather plainly

“How?” Jacoby asked with a puzzled expression that matched everyone else’s in the room.

“Well it just so happens that I just finished writing an amazing song that I can give to you.”

“ Your shitting me!” Jerry asked. His facial expression was priceless and I couldn’t help but laugh.

“Yes I’m completely serious, I literally just finished it, and I was gonna come down here and show it off to you guys, but since you guys are working on your album I’ll show you all later.” I smiled and turned away and headed for the stairs when I was stopped by a chorus of “No’s”

I laughed and turned around staring at everyone’s pleading faces.

“Do I have to play it now?” I asked with pleading eyes. I really didn’t want to sing it. I wasn’t very confident in my voice, and I knew Jacoby and his band had never heard me sing before, and I was scared to sing in front of them.

“Yes, you must play now” Jimmy said from behind me making me jump a little.

I turned to Jacoby, hoping he could get me out of this but he just shook his head yes pointing to the soundproof booth.

“Ugh, ok, ok, fine, I’ll do it, but no laughing when I’m done, and I need two of you to help me with audio….umm, Brian….and Zacky, grab a guitar, you guys can pick this up easy”

“Ok” they chorused and went into the other room to grab their equipment.

I gave them the music sheets and they nodded in approval, as we stepped into the booth.

“Ok, you guys ready?
One…..
Two……
Three……,

[i] When I was a boy
I didn't care about a thing
It was me and this world and a broken dream
I was blaming myself
For all that was goin' wrong

I was way out there
On the wrong side of town
And the ones that I loved
I started pushing 'em out
Then I realised
That it was all my fault

[Chorus]
I've been looking for a lifeline
For what seems like a lifetime
I'm drowning in the pain
Breaking down again
Looking for a lifeline

So I put out my hand
And I asked for some help
We tore down the walls I built around myself
I was struck by the light
And I fell to the ground

[Repeat Chorus]

Is there anybody out there?
Can you pull me from this ocean of despair?
I'm drowning in the pain
Breaking down again
Looking for a lifeline

You know a heart of gold
Won't take you all the way
And in a world so cold
It's hard to keep the faith
I'm never gonna fade away!

Yeah!

I've been looking for a lifeline
(I've been looking for a lifeline)
For what seems like a lifetime
(For what seems like a lifetime)
I'm drowning in the pain
Breaking down again
Looking for a lifeline

Is there anybody out there?
(Is there anybody out there?)
Can you pull me from this ocean of despair?
I'm drowning in the pain
Breaking down again
Looking for a lifeline
(Looking for a lifeline)[/i]

Everyone was silent as the last chord played and started to fade, and that honestly made me nervous.

“Hello! Can someone say something?”

After a couple more minutes everyone was still silent. I couldn’t take the silence anymore and I went upstairs and turned on the TV.

As soon as I turned on the TV I could hear everyone downstairs talking, then not soon after I heard music start to play, and I recognized the riff and knew they were going to use my song. That made me happy to some extent.

After about two hours I heard someone come upstairs but was to lazy to turn around to see who it was. They put their hands over my eyes, and I flinched at the contact.

“Guess who?’ they said from behind me.

But I knew exactly who’s voice that belonged to. The one I always dreamed about and could not stop thinking about. The one who put butterfly’s in my stomach when we were close to each other, the one I knew had no feelings for me at all, and worst of all, the one I could never have.

“Jacoby! Come on I am trying to watch TV” I laughed

“Fine, I’ll watch it with you then” He replied bluntly.

“Fine! Anyways, so how did recording go? Did you like the song?” I asked laying my head on his shoulder.

“Ok, I guess, and we all loved the song, its amazing! Matt is downstairs tweeking some of the audio, then you should go down and listen to it” he said putting his arm over my shoulder.

I hated how close we were, did he know what he did to me when he was this carefree? He didn’t even have a clue about how I felt about him.

“I will, I definitly want to hear you sing” I said/yawned.

“Tired?”

“Yea, you know, writing an amazing song will do that to a girl” I yawned again, smiling after the fact.

“Here lay down” he said as he unfolded his legs, and propped them up off the couch using one of the footstools from the armchair.

I layed down in his lap, enjoying the only time I would be this close to him. I was staring into his eyes and he was just smiling at me. I was oblivious to the fact that his face was getting closer and that I was moving towards his until his lips met mine.

I sat up more deepening the kiss, not wanting to stop. I didn’t even know he had feelings for me at all, but now I felt more at ease.

He broke the kiss to move to my neck, then back up to my lips. He had just started to lift up my tank top when we heard someone clear their throat from behind us.

We quickly separated to see Tobin, Jimmy, Zacky, and Matt, with Matt shaking his head.

“I think I’m scared for life.” Matt said and my face turned red.
“At least take it upstairs” Jimmy said winking at me.
“This doesn’t surprise me, but couldn’t you wait till after dinner?” Tobin said with a smile.
“I don’t even know what to say” Zacky said.

I laughed with Jacoby as we got up from the couch after I straightened out my tank top.

I started walking to the kitchen with Jacoby right behind me holding on to my waist.

He leaned in close until I felt his breath on my ear.

“Upstairs is for desert” He said smiling into my ear, sending shivers up my body.

He left it at that as he walked back downstairs with everyone else, leaving me standing in the middle of the house, speechless.
