If You Were A Movie, This Would Be Your Soundtrack

"So you're telling me, she's preggers with Vic's supposed to be baby, you tried to claw her face off, and Kellin tired to murder Vic. And I thought the bonfire would be boring!" Ryan took a drag from his cigarette and laughed. I just gave him a sly grin and drank from my Jack Daniel's bottle Alan gave me. I hated that I went all off in front of Kellin. For once, I met a cute guy, but a girl has to ruin it like fucking always! I groan and downed more of the alcohol. Alcohol is what started the fight last night. Now i have to apologize to Vic and Kellin. I got up and went to my bunk. In a time like this, writing is what I needed to do. I sat on my bunk, beneath Ryan, above Annah, and sat Indian-style. Taking a deep breath, I put the tip of my pen to the paper and the words flowed out.
I found hope in the world again
and for the first time I feel alright.
Never again.
You can try to scream, but no one's listening.
Never again.
You can try to scream, but no one will hear you.
I smiled at what I had, but more came.
Life's just a stage.
If just given the chance to save, words could save you all.
I've got the time if you see the light in me
and the words could save us all.
Life's just a stage. Life's just a fucking stage.
If given the chance, words could save us all.
You need to open your eyes;
expose them from disguise.
This isn't a game, this is our lives.
YES! Excuse the energy outburst, but only one other person would understand this song. It all started three years ago, during the summer in Connersville.
Flashback
"Devin, what if I never see you again. You're leaving for tour and my band is getting somewhere." He cascade a thumb on my cheek.
"We're best friends. We grew up together and we did everything together. Who knows? We may tour together. I don't want to hold you back. Life's just a stage. If just given the chance to save, words could save you all. You need to open your eyes. Expose them from disguise, Kat, this isn't a game. This is our lives." I looked at him. For the first time in years, he said something smart and it actually made sense. "I know everyone tends to leave you in the end, but I'm not going anywhere. I love you, and you're my best friend."
"Uh, if I'm correct, I'm her best friend." Andrew piped in. I swat his arm, not leaving my position between Devin's legs.
"Shut up Andrew." I sigh. This is our last summer together. No more annual trips to Connersville. No more bonfires. No more throwing Zach into the lake. No more fun. Devin's right. This isn't a game. This is our lives.
"Hello?" He picks up on the third ring.
"DEVIN! HOLY SHIT BRO I HAVE A SONG!" I scream. I rant about the song and tell him what it means. "Do you remember these specific lines? Life's just a stage? This is our lives?" I heard silence before the guys are cheering in the background.
"You made a song out of it?!" Andrew and Devin yell at the same time.
"Hellz to the yea I did." I say proudly.
"What's the title?"
"Summer Died In Connersville." the guys woot in the background.
"Amazing title."
"And since you guys are part of Warped this year, I want you to perform the clean lyrics. Its our song Devin." It was silent again before I heard his voice.
"I would love to."

I was going crazy. Just ask someone about her. It wouldn't hurt.
But she did try to pry out Cara's eyeballs.
But you did insult her friend.
But she did say I sing like a girl.
But you said she sings like a guy.
But she does.
And you scream, like a girl.
She didn't have to do that to Cara.
But you don't know her.
But-
Wait, I don't know her. And I'm sitting here drinking away, judging a very beautiful girl that I barely know. God, I need a shower. I'll have to take one at the Las Vegas venue. I get up and walk to Gabe who is busy away texting on his phone.
"Ooo. Who's the lucky girl?" I ask. He looks up and the color drains from his face. He goes back to his phone and continues texting. I walk to the kitchen, but silently creep up behind him.
Gabe: Dude, i thought he caught me.
One imcoming message from Kat.
My breath hitched in my breath. It couldn't be?
Kat: Well, make sure he doesn't. I want it to be a surprise for him.
Gabe: I'll make sure.
I backed away. Were the two of them secretly dating? My own band member lying to me? I grabbed a bottle of Jack Daniels and went to my bunk. I put my headphones in and drank away my sorrow.

*2 days later in Las Vegas*
"HOW WE DOING OUT THERE LAS VEGAS!!!!" The crowd roars in response. My adrenaline was pumping through my veins and I was pouncing off the stage. This was our last song for our set and Devin was waiting on side stage.I had a surprise for Kellin. Me and Gabe have been talking through the roof and he said Kellin was a sucker for dancy music.
"This one goes out to Kellin Quinn!!!" I point my microphone at Kellin who has been sending me daggers throughout my whole set. I winked at Gabe who cued the smoke. "THIS IS A NEW SONG. FEATURING MY BEST FRIEND DEVIN OLIVER FROM I SEE STARS!!!!!!" The crowd goes wild and Kellin's look goes from pissed to confused. "This is a song about my summer times with Devin and his band, it's called Summer Died In Connersville!!!! Hit it Gabe!" Gabe flipped the switch that turned on the probe lights. "GET OUT HERE DEVIN!!!" He ran on stage, microphone in hand. The music started and Devin started off.
"I found hope in the world again
and for the first time I feel alright.
I started to play and scream out my vocals.
"Never again.
You can try to scream, but no one's listening.
Never again.
You can try to scream, but no one will hear you!" Devin looked at me as he sung our lyrics.
"Life's just a stage.
If just given the chance to save, words could save you all.
I've got the time if you see the light in me
and the words could save us all." I looked at him and winked.
"Life's just a stage. Life's just a fucking stage.
If given the chance, words could save us all.
You need to open your eyes;
expose them from disguise.
This isn't a game, this is our lives." Me and Devin join together at the next part.
"No, you won't be saved
unless you're willing to help yourself
to fuel the fire for once." The dancy music kicks in and I see Kellin fighting the urge to smile and dance like the crowd was doing.
"LETS GO!!!" I scream into the microphone with all my might.
"I will not be controlled.
How's this for a twist of fate?" I scream in my death growl. I look to side stage to see Gabe smiling at me. That part was for Kellin and Vic who has now joined Gabe.
"Life's just a stage.
If just given the chance to save, words could save you all.
I've got the time if you see the light in me
and the words could save us all."
We all start to head bang at the break.
"I found hope in the world again
and for the first time I feel alright." Devin carries out the last note and the crowd screams.
"WE ARE THE RECKLESS BRAVE AND WE WILL BE ROCKING THE FUCK OUT ON MAINSTAGE ALL SUMMER LONG RIGHT HERE AT VANS WARPED TOUR TWO THOUSAND AND FUCKING THIRTEEN!!!!" I run off the stage and my band does a group hug. I cry. I haven't been so happy in a while. Devin comes over and hugs me.
"That was amazing." He pulls me even closer as Vic and Gabe join our hug.
"I'm so sorry." He whispers in my ear. Low enough that only I hear. I smile at Vic and embrace the guys even more. I pull away and give Gabe a sly smile.
"Thanks." He pats me on the shoulder. I hand my guitar, correction Alan's guitar, to the tech guy and walk off to find Kellin. A hand grabs my wrist and I open my mouth to scream. A hand clamps over my mouth.
"Calm down." That voice alone makes me melt. "That was an amazing set." I giggle. He spins me around. "I'm sorry about last night. It's just that, I barely know you and I already felt like I've fucked up." I look into his green orbs. I smile and nod."Nice anchor plugs." More giggling. "I was wondering, if you're still going to buy a new guitar, I can show you to the place I know." My giggle reaches it's maximum.
"Okayyyy." He looks at me and smiles.
"Be at your bus later." He leans in and kisses my cheek.
~Kellin~
Nice, you soften her up and then when she least expects it, back fire! I know something's up between her, Gabe, Devin, and Austin. If I have to befriend her to find out, than I will. I kiss her cheek and leave her standing there. Well, well, well Kat. If you can't hang, there's the door.

Notes

Ooo. Kellin's being a sneaky bastard.
