FoREVer Friends The Pretty Bird Sings

I was pacing, I had been doing it for at least a month, being able to talk and everything. The guys were all shocked to say the least but they hadn't been doing anything, but sitting and mourning.

"Jimmy wouldn't want this." I muttered to myself while looking at my wall of pictures.

I quickly grabbed my cell phone and typed a quick message and sent it to the guys.

'Meet me at 4295 Summerhill Place.'

I looked over at the picture of Jimmy and I and let out a little laugh.

"Let's hope this works Jimbo." I whispered grabbing my jacket, keys, wallet and cellphone and made my way out to my car.

The guys had been ecstatic that I had gotten my voice back, though they didn't know a little thing I had gotten in touch with a friend of mine.

A music producer, and I had been singing. It's time for them to hear me.

I climbed out of my car and made my way inside noticing none of the guys were there yet. I walked into the little area seeing Josh standing there talking to his secretary.

"Josh." I said once he noticed me.

"Hey Sam, you weren't suppose to come in today, what's up?" he asked

"well I need to get to a few friends of mine, so when you see four men walk in can you direct them to the studio?" I asked ringing my hands together.

"How about I help you and Claire can direct them to the studio, how about that Claire you want to be apart of Miss Childs scheme?" he asked with a grin as he wrapped his arms around my shoulders.

Claire grinned at me, "Sure I'll send them to the studio." she said

"Great. Come on Sammy lets get your little plan started." he said tugging me towards the studio.

"Thank you Claire!" I called back to her. She just waved me off with a smile.

I walked into the booth and looked through the glass seeing Josh taking his seat at the controls, he gave me a grin and turned everything on. I slipped the headphones over my ears.

"Josh?"

"Yeah?" he asked pressing the button.

"Do you think you can play the one we were working on the other day?" I asked.

He grinned. "You sure? You said it was hurting your throat last time?" he said

I nodded with a smile.

"Yeah I'm sure."

I could hear the music I had recorded earlier before begin playing in my headphones and grinned at him.

He looked over at the panel seeing something flash.

"Seems your people are here." he said pressing the button.

I nodded and took a breath while closing my eyes.

'I can do this, I'm gonna do this for the guys, for Jimmy, forever... If I have too.' I thought

"Let's do this Josh." I said into the mic.

"Oohhh, Yeah, Oooh Huh
I woke up this morning with a smile on my face
And nobody's gonna bring me down today
Been feeling like nothings been going my way lately
But I decided right here and now that my outlooks gonna change

That's why I'm gonna
Say goodbye to all the tears I've cried
And everytime somebody hurt my pride
Feeling like they won't let me live life
And take the time to look at what is mine
I see every lesson so clearly
I thank God for what I got from above"

I opened my eyes seeing four pair of surprised faces and a grinning Josh behind the panel.

"I believe they can take anything from me
But they can't succeed in taking my inner peace from me
They can say all they wanna say about me
But I'm gonna carry on
I'm gonna keep on singing my song"

I grinned and closed my eyes again.

"I never wanna dwell on my pain again
There's no use in reliving how I hurt back then
Remembering too well, the hell I felt when I was running out of faith
Every step I'm about to take is towards a better day

Cos I'm about to
Say farewell to every single lie
& All the fears I've held too long inside
Everytime I felt I couldn't cry
All the negativity I had inside
For too long I've been struggling. I couldn't go on
But now I've found I'm feeling strong and moving on

I believe they can take anything from me
But they can't succeed in taking my inner peace from me
They can say all they wanna say about me
But I'm gonna carry on
I'm gonna keep on singing my song

Whoa, & everytime I tried to be what they wanted from me
It never came naturally
So I ended up in misery, wasn't able to see
All the good around me
Wasted so much energy on what they thought of me
Then simply just remembering to breathe

Oooh, I'm humanly unable to please

Everyone at the same time, so now I've found
My peace of mind living one day at a time

At the end I answer to one god
It comes down to one love
til' I get to heave above
I've made the decision
Never to give in
Til the I day I die no matter what
I'm gonna carry on I will keep on singing my song....."

I felt tears falling from my eyes as I grinned, in my mind I could see Jimmy grinning and cheering me on. 'I can do this can't I Jimmy?' I thought as I took a breath of fresh air feeling lighter than ever.

"I believe that they can do what they wanna.
Say what they wanna say

(They can say what they wanna)

But I'm gonna keep on
(Keep on )
I believe it
That they can take from me
But they can't take my inner peace

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,

Say what you wanan say, but I'm gonna sing my song
Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah"

I finished and opened my eyes and started laughing.

Josh was spinning in circles with a grin on his face. The four men I knew like brothers all looked at me with shock on they're faces.

Josh threw himself on the panel pushing the button with a grin.

"YOU DID IT BABY!!" he cried with a grin.

I laughed and threw the headphones of my head and ran out of the room into Josh's arms.

"How did you do it, last week you couldn't hardly hold it that long." he mumbled into my shoulder while he spun me around.

"I don't know, but it felt amazing." I said with a smile. I turned around looking at my friends while bitting my lip.

"Dove, I-I didn't know you started singing again." Brian said coming towards me with shock written on his face.

I looked down before looking at him.

"I think Jimmy was tired of not being able to hear me sing, Bri." I whispered with a soft look. I saw tears gathering in his eyes.

"I sung for him knowing I made him proud, he always wanted me to sing Bri. You knew that." I said placing my hand on his arm.

"He'd want you guys to continue on too. I know it's hard, I've been hold up in my apartment the last week trying to think of why I woke up one morning and I wanted to sing, Bri I wanted to sing for Jimbo. So I did, and look at me, I felt free Bri." I said as he pulled me into a hug.

"Your amazing Dove." he whispered into my hair, tightening his grip around me as I felt three other hands on my shoulders.

"Jimmy would of been so proud." whispered Zacky.

I looked up at him through my bangs.

"Don't you see, he'd be proud anyway as long as I am happy, I'm getting my life back." I said

I looked at all of them.

"You guys have to continue." I said with seriousness.

They all looked down.

"It's not that simple." Matt said looking at me.

I glared.

"Bullshit."

Their eyes snapped up to me quickly.

"If Jimmy were here he'd beat you guys for your stupidly, do it for him!" I said shaking my head as I grabbed my things and made my wa out of the room, Josh glanced at the four friends with a look of shock before he to left the room.

"She's right." Johnny said

The four looked at each other and nodded.

"For Jimmy."
