I'm A Match That's Burning Out

Three.

We watched the concert from backstage, sitting with Matt and Vinnie. Tori and Matt were talking (flirting) the entire time, and I had a good time getting to know Vinnie. He's such a cutie. The guys came backstage to take a break after finishing "Dear Maria, Count Me In."

"Okay, so, Juliet bailed." Matt said as he looked away from a text on his phone.

"Are you fucking serious?" Alex groaned. "How we supposed to do Remembering Sunday, now?" The boys began all speaking at once, throwing ideas around.

"I have an idea." Rian said, but no one heard.

"We're so screwed-"

"The fans will be pissed-"

"I have an idea, guys."

"Can't we just skip it?"

"Guys?"

"No, that's a main part of the-"

"GUYS!" The boys silenced, turning to look at Rian. Me and Tori cracked up as Rian huffed angrily. "Thank you. Why don't Tori and Bri sing with us?"

"What?" We said together.

"Fuck no!" I shook my head. "That crowd is huge!"

"And I can't even sing." Tori added.

"Shut the fuck up, yes you can." I said, turning to look at her. She glared.

"Come on, girls. Do us a favor. Please?" Zack asked.

"For me?" Rian looked me in the eyes. I almost melted.

"Uh..."

"And for me?" Matt looked to Tori. We both slowly cracked under the pressure. Sighing, we answered.

"Fine."

X - X - X

"This next song is called Remembering Sunday," Alex announced into microphone, smiling as the fans screamed. "But Juliet couldn't be here tonight."

"Instead," Jack spoke, "we have our two fiends filling in. Their names are Tori and Brianna."

"Give them a big welcome!" Rian said, grinning cutely. Gahh. He's so fucking cute.

"Come on out, ladies." Zack said. We walked out slowly, blinded by the flashing cameras. I stood as close to Rian as I could at first, but then slowly grew closer to Alex, who had a mike I'd need to use. Tori was glued next to Zack.

"He woke up from dreaming and put on his shoes
Starting making his way past two in the morning
He hasn't been sober for days

Leaning now into the breeze
Remembering Sunday, he falls to his knees
They had breakfast together
But two eggs don't last
Like the feeling of what he needs

Now this place seems familiar to him
She pulled on his hand with a devilish grin
She led him upstairs, she led him upstairs
Left him dying to get in

Forgive me, I'm trying to find
My calling, I'm calling at night
I don't mean to be a bother
But have you seen this girl?
She's been running through my dreams
And it's driving me crazy, it seems
I'm gonna ask her to marry me

And even though she doesn't believe in love
He's determined to call her bluff
Who could deny these butterflies?
They're filling his gut

Waking the neighbors
Unfamiliar faces
He pleads though he tries
But he's only denied
Now he's dying to get inside

Forgive me, I'm trying to find
My calling, I'm calling at night
I don't mean to be a bother
But have you seen this girl?
She's been running through my dreams
And it's driving me crazy, it seems
I'm gonna ask her to marry me

The neighbors said she moved away
Funny how it rained all day
I didn't think much of it then
But it's starting to all make sense

Oh, I can see now that all of these clouds
Are following me in my desperate endeavor
To find my whoever, whoever she may be."


Tori and I shared a long, nervous glance as our turn came closer and closer. Alex gave me a friendly, encouraging smile as I took his mike and Tori took Zack's.

"I'm not coming back (forgive me)
I've done something so terrible
I'm terrified to speak (I'm not calling, I'm not calling)
But you'd expect that from me
I'm mixed up, I'll be blunt
Now the rain is just (You're driving me crazy, I'm)
Washing you out of my hair

And out of my mind
Keeping an eye on the world
From so many thousands of feet off the ground
I'm over you now
I'm at home in the clouds
And towering over your head."


The guys expressions were priceless; ranging from shocked and ecstatic.

"Well I guess I'll go home now
I guess I'll go home now
I guess I'll go home now
I guess I'll go home."


"Brianna and Tori everyone!" The crowds screams became deafening. I smiled as Alex wrapped an arm around my shoulders, jumping and yelling.

I could get used to this.
