You Said You'd Never Leave Me

Chapter Four

“OK class, as you all know we have the showcase coming up in a few weeks. Since music is the last lesson today I thought we could have a bit of fun. Maybe you could give us a taste of what to expect at the showcase. You will all get to pick a song to play and perform for us. Ok, so who’s up first?” Mr. Clarence asked rubbing his hands together with a smile. Hands went up and the teacher began to choose.

I ended up getting picked last, while the boys were second last. I was okay with the way everyone was picked, meant I could get a taste of my competition and what to expect from them.

Soon enough it was time for the boys or as they called themselves Avenged Sevenfold to show me what they were made of. I wriggled my hips in my seat and got more comfortable and waited for them to get up on stage. The girls kept telling me that they were pretty good and that I’d enjoy it so I kind of was expecting a good show from them. Mallory and Gracie never ended up performing as they didn’t sing, only instruments, so I figured they wouldn’t be performing in the showcase. Mallory played guitar. Zacky and her dad had both taught her, while Gracie played drums. She had only started playing drums since pretty much the start of her and Jimmy’s relationship but according to everyone in the group, she was a natural. I’d been wanting to start a band up for years so maybe, I’d see if the girls would be interested in starting up one with me.

I was pulled out of my thoughts when the auditorium was filled with the sounds of guitars and drums. My foot and head bopping along to the guitar notes. My jaw dropped as I heard Matt start singing/screaming.

"I'll try," she said as he walked away
"Try not to lose you"
Two vibrant hearts could change
Nothing tears the being more than deception
Unmasked fear
"I'll be here waiting" tested and secure’


I nudged Mallory with my elbow and smiled at her. She sent me a smirk and leaned over. “They’re good, huh?”

With a nod, I turned my attention to Brian. “Fuck yeah,” I replied, watching the way his fingers worked the guitar he was using.

‘Nothing hurts my world
Just affects the ones around me
When sin’s deep in my blood
You’ll be the one to fall’


I watched the rest of their performance in awe. Wow, they were fucking good. They all looked in their element, especially Jimmy, banging the absolute shit out of those drums like his life depended on it. I felt a tap on my arm and tore my attention away from the boys to look at Mallory. She smirked at me and pointed at Gracie. I giggled. She was in awe, watching Jimmy. You could tell she absolutely adored the shit out of him. I could see them being together for a very long time.

Little did I know that in 11 years’ time, things would take a turn for the worse.

Soon their performance was over and me and a few other girls cheered loudly. The rest of the class just sat there saying nothing. The type of music the boys play isn’t popular at Huntington Beach high school but honestly, I could care less. They sounded wicked and I could see their music taking them to places.

I watched the boys give back the instruments to the backing band and jump off the stage, walking to the back row where me and the other girls were seated. Matt collapsed in the chair beside and sent a smile. “So, what did you think?” He asked, breathless.

“You guys sounded fucking sick. The vocals, guitars and drums were so rock n roll. I loved it. Consider me at the top of the guest list for every show from now on.”

A scoff from the other side of Matt could be heard. I looked over to see Brian, staring down at his phone, shaking his head. “Is that a problem Brian?”

Brian lifted his eyes from his phone and stared at me. “No, but it’ll surprise me if you actually do turn up to something of ours. You have a habit of not showing up to shit, don’t you?”

Before I could even answer, my name was called. I let out a sigh and ignored Brian’s question. I gave Matt a weak smile and stood up, making my way past Brian and up the aisle to the stage. I grabbed the microphone and walked over to the backing band, asking them if they knew ‘I love Rock N Roll’ by Joan Jett. They all shook their heads and stared at me blankly.

Looking over my shoulder, I looked at Mallory, silently pleading for help. She nodded and jumped up from her seat, grabbing Gracie and another girl that I’d never seen before. They raced up at the stage. I giggled at Mallory’s facial expression as she stepped next to me, glaring at the backing band. “How the hell do you not know ‘I love Rock N Roll’ by Joan Jett and The Blackhearts?” She asked with her hands on her hips.

The guy behind the drums opened his month to say something but Mallory held up her hand. “Don’t even answer that. Just get out of my face. I find it absolutely disgraceful that you have no taste in music. Give me that guitar.”

The backing band scrambled out of their places, basically throwing the guitars and drum sticks at us.

Gracie grinned and skipped over to the drum set before nodding to the other girls. The sound of the drums and guitars filled the auditorium.

‘I saw him dancing there by the record machine
I knew he must’ve been about seventeen
The beat was going strong
Playing my favorite song
And I could tell it wouldn’t be long till he was with me, yeah me
And I could tell it wouldn’t be long till he was with me, yeah me.’


Mallory and the chick with blue hair joined in singing with me for the chorus.

‘Singing, I love rock and roll
So put another dime in the jukebox, baby
I love rock and roll
So come and take your time and dance with me
Ow!’

I moved around the stage, making my way over to Mallory, resting my arm on her shoulder as I moved onto the second verse.

‘He smiled, so I got up and asked for his name
But that don’t matter he said, ‘cause it’s all the same
He said, “Can I take you home
Where we can be alone?”
And next we were moving on, he was with me, yeah me
Next, we were moving on, he was with me, yeah me.’


‘Singing, I love rock and roll
So put another dime in the jukebox, baby
I love rock and roll
So come and take your time and dance with me
Ow!’


I watched as Mallory broke out into her guitar solo. The boys hollering at the back of the room caught my attention. I laughed watching Zacky rocking out cheering on his girlfriend.

‘He said, “Can I take you home
Where we can be alone?”
Next, we were moving on, he was with me, yeah me.
And we’ll be moving on and singing that same old song, yeah with me’


‘Singing, I love rock and roll
So put another dime in the jukebox, baby
I love rock and roll
So come and take your time and dance with me’


‘I love rock and roll
So put another dime in the jukebox, baby
I love rock and roll
So come and take your time and dance with’


‘I love rock and roll
So put another dime in the jukebox, baby
I love rock and roll
So come and take your time and dance with’


‘I love rock and roll
So put another dime in the jukebox, baby
I love rock and roll
So come and take your time and dance with’


‘I love rock and roll
So put another dime in the jukebox, baby
I love rock and roll
So come and take your time and dance with me!’


The boys clapped and hollered as the girls and I made our way off the stage. I passed the microphone back to Mr. Clarence and made my way back to my seat. “You are a fucking Rockstar girl!” Matt exclaimed with a dimpled grin. “That voice of yours is pretty unique. Like a mixture of Joan Jett and Maria Brink.”

I giggled and kissed his cheek. “Why thank you.”

Soon the bell rung to let us know that school was over. I was a bit sad that music was over but honestly, I am gladder that I could go home and sleep. We all raced out of the building to our cars and sighed happily. School was over for the day and it was the best feeling ever. “Hey guys, this is Alexis from my chem class. She just moved here as well.” Mallory said with a smile, wrapping an arm around Alexis.

We all introduced ourselves and jumped into conversation about the upcoming showcase among other things. After deciding that tomorrow I’d ride to school with Zacky since we lived across the road from each other. We all said our goodbyes and took off in our respectable vehicles.

Once I got home and had a shower, I ordered some Thai food and curled up in front of the tv for a few hours, before making my way to my bedroom. Once I set my alarm, I turned off the lights and welcomed sleep with open arms.
