Underneath the Mask

Olivia

"Stefan, I really don't feel like being recorded right now." I told Stefan, the band's "camera man". Stefan's been recording Sick Control ever since it started out. He's always telling us, "You never know what you might miss."
"Oh, c'mon Olivia, I have to get all of the band members on this for the competition!" Stefan groaned, rolling around in my bed, still recording.
"Then use old footage." I sat down next to him and put on some socks.
"I can't! It has to be new, and well, you know, Kyle's in that footage." Stefan added the last part in a whisper, sitting up in my bed.
"Come one guys, time to rehearse." Corey, the drummer of Sick Control announced, standing in Olivia's bedroom doorway. Stefan sighed and stood up pointing at me.
"I will get you to talk to the camera!" He pretended to sock Corey in his stomach and bounced out of the room. Corey chuckled and walked over to me and helped me stand up.
"I swore, that boy." He said, wrapping his arm around my shoulders and pulling me towards the living room.
"What was a talking about, a competition?" I asked, popping my middle finger.
"Oh, Avenged Sevenfold put out this thing that if you record your band going in about daily life and they liked the video then they would promote that band. They want to see some rehearsals as well." Crey rolled his eyes, "Just another competition we'll never win."
"Come on people, we don't have all day!" Adam, my...boyfriend, yelled. He was the singer of Sick Control. After our last singer past away we went a whole year without a singer because we were grieving so bad. HE was our best friend. And then Adam showed up, one of Stephan's friends, he nudged his way in and took over.
Adam caught sight of me and grimaced, "Ugh, can't you at least try to look presentable?"
I furrowed my brows and looked down at myself, in white overalls and a black long sleeve half top, "What's wrong with what I'm wearing?" I asked, crossing my arms, defiant.
Adam rolled his eyes, "Just go change."
My nostrils flared as I glared at him and stomped back to my room to change. Mikey my best friend out of the whole band followed me up, "Hey, don't worry about him, you know he's an asshole." He pulled an aqua green dress out of my closet and a pair of sandals, handing them to me. I sighed and nodded, You're right, he is. there's nothing that can change that, is there?"
I pulled on the clothes he handed to me and followed him back downstairs where Stefan was 'interviewing' Adam.
"So, how do you feel about being the newest addition to the band?" Stefan asked, as Adam adjusted himself on his chair.
"It's great, it's my band now so I'm really going to make it awesome."
I rolled my eyes and pulled out my guitar and tuning it up, loudly.
Adam cringed with every noise I made, "Hey!" He screamed.
I looked up, as though I didn't know what was going on but on the inside I was laughing, "What's the matter babe?" I asked all sweet like, the words tasting like bile in my mouth.
"Would you shut the hell up?" He demanded, waving his hands in the air like a drama queen.
"Oh yeah, sugar, I'm sorry, Ill get right to that." Once Adam turned back around I stuck my tongue out at him and flipped him off. Stefan smiled and gladly taped it.

Adam stood in front of the mike and began to sing softly swaying his hip a little to every note.
"I feel it everyday it's all the same
It brings me down but I'm the one to blame
I've tried everything to get away
So here I go again
Chasing you down again
Why do I do this?
Over and over, over and over
I fall for you
Over and over, over and over
I try not to
It feels like everyday stays the same
It's dragging me down and I can't pull away
So here I go again
Chasing you down again
Why do I do this?
Over and over, over and over
I fall for you
Over and over, over and over
I try not to
Over and over, over and over
You make me fall for you
Over and over, over and over
You don't even try
So many thoughts that I can't get out of my head
I try to live without you, every time I do I feel dead
I know what's best for me
But I want you instead
I'll keep on wasting all my time
Over and over, over and over
I fall for you
Over and over, over and over
I try not to
Over and over, over and over
You make me fall for you
Over and over, over and over
You don't even try to!"

After the song I placed my guitar on it's stand and went outside for some fresh air, Mikey and Justin, another guitarist for Sick control, following me
"I wish Adam would leave." I sighed, pulling out a cigarette which Mikey pulled out of my mouth and threw away. I glared at him in anger and pulled out another one.
"We all do, but we'd have no singer." Justin pointed out, taking a pull off my cigarette.
"Why are we all out here?" Stefan who just opened the door asked, tugging his camera along.
"We're plotting mutiny against Adam." Mikey laughed and pulled off my cigarette which I have yet to take a pull off. I sighed and grabbed it away form him and sucking filling my lungs with smoke.
"aren't we all?" Stefan laughed and took away my cigarette and threw it on the ground. I sighed and watched the cnacer stick slowly burn away the grass.
