Mocking Bird

"No, Abeso-fucking-lty no Liam." I said walking away from him as he drug me all the way to this little bar that was looking for a band.

"But JoJo, this could get you guys going." he said

"We won't get going Liam we suck." I said glaring at him only to receive a glare in return.

"You don't suck Jordan, you guys have so much fucking talent you just don't want to admit it. Well it's time to stop being a fucking baby Jordan and live in the image of your rockstar dad." He said. I bite back a come back as I forgot I had told him about my dad being a rockstar.

"Don't use that against me Liam." I said

"I'm not using it against you Jordan, can't you see the talent you four have when you preform in our garage. Can't you see the smiles you guys receive from the neighbors. They know you guys are good." he said looking at me with his dark brown eyes.

I looked down. "I'm not like my dad." I whispered.

"No, No , NO your you Jo. Nothing can change that your you from the way you play to the way you are acting right now." he said I sighed and looked down at the sidewalk beneath my converse.

"Fine." I whispered looking up at him. He grinned as if he had won the lottery. "Only one show Liam." I said holding my finger in front of his face.

"It'll get you the first time you get up there." he said grinning. I roll my eyes at him.

"Yeah right." I said quietly

I watched him walk back to the bar as he entered it. Shaking my head I walk back to his car to wait for him.

hours later

I stood in front of the mic in the bar looking out at the sea of faces.

"This isn't really one of our songs but I think it fits with our band so I hope you enjoy this little trip down memory lane." I said before grabbing the acoustic guitar that was next to me. I sat down on the stool and started strumming.

"Hush, little baby, don't say a word.
Papa's gonna buy you a mockingbird
And if that mockingbird won't sing,
Papa's gonna buy you a diamond ring

And if that diamond ring turns brass,
Papa's gonna buy you a looking glass

And if that looking glass gets broke,
Papa's gonna buy you a billy goat

And if that billy goat won't pull,
Papa's gonna buy you a cart and bull

And if that cart and bull fall down,
You'll still be the sweetest little baby in town" I sang looking out into the crowd. Some people clapped and some smiled as I sat the guitar down and grabbed my Les Paul as Eric, CiCi, and Dan came out on the stage and got into place.

Dan and CiCi started it out then Eric and I started along with the lyrics.

(Hey, Hey)
She had her eyes on the prize as the girl next door
You grow up quick when you grow up poor
It's the only way to LA that she knows
The Hollywood pose: teeth, tits, and drawers

It didn't take her long to leave the boulevard
So many Five Star friends with black credit cards
She'd try anything once
Cause anything goes
It never comes easy when you're digging for gold

(Hey, Hey)
Well she ain't no Cinderella
When she's getting undressed
'Cause she rocks it like the naughty wicked witch of the west
Far too pretty to be giving it cheap
That's why she's making six figures working three days a week
Yeah she'd even break a promise in the promise-land
She didn't make it this far by just shaking hands
She’d take your money make it twice as hot as anyone can
She didn't make it this far by just shaking hands

(Hey, Hey)
I doubt she’d even let the devil buy her little black book
City Hall would probably fall off if anyone got a look
Every aimless player is a favorite friend
B/c they all taste the fame in the back of a vans
A congressman would call her every once in a while
Got the school girl skirt on the top of the pile
She’d done everyone once
And everyone knows
You got to get a little dirty when you’re digging for gold

(Hey, Hey)
Well she ain't no Cinderella
When she's getting undressed
'Cause she rocks it like the naughty wicked witch of the west
Far to pretty to be giving it cheap
That's why she's making six figures working three days a week
Yeah she'd even break a promise in the promise-land
She didn't make it this far by just shaking hands
She’d take your money make it twice is hot as anyone can
She didn't make it this far by just shaking hands

Well someone spilled the beans and now her name’s in the press
Tough to keep it all a secret when you’re one of the best
The judge is going easy because he paid for her chest
Yeah he loves his naughty wicked witch of the west

Well she ain't no Cinderella
When she's getting undressed
'Cause she rocks it like the naughty wicked witch of the west
Far to pretty to be giving it cheap
That's why she's making six figures working three days a week
Yeah she'd even break a promise in the promise-land
She didn't make it this far by just shaking hands
She’d take your money make it twice is hot as anyone can
She didn't make it this far by just shaking hands"
I let lose during the solo laughing as Eric shook his head at me. Blowing him a kiss I continue on to the next song, glancing out towards the bar where Liam was grinning from ear to ear. I looked farther and my eyes narrowed as I noticed someone there.

'what the hell is he stalking me?' I thought as I sang the song with Eric. Sitting at the bar with his aviators was Matt Sanders also known as M Shadows along with Zacky Vengeance once I had looked over at the one sitting next to him.

"Thanks everyone." I said once we were finished. "Now here's a fun one." I said winking at some of the men in the front that could see me.

Well, I know a thing about contrition,
Because I got enough to spare.
And I'll be granting your permission,
'Cause you haven't got a prayer.
Well I said hey, hey hallelujah,
I'm gonna come on sing the praise.
And let the spirit come on through ya,
We got innocence for days!

Well, I think I'm gonna burn in hell,
Everybody burn the house right down.

And say, ha
What I wanna say
Tell me I'm an angel,
Take this to my grave.
Tell me I'm a bad man,
Kick me like a stray.
Tell me I'm an angel,
Take this to my grave.

(S-I-N, I S-I-N
S-I-N, I S-I-N
S-I-N, I S-I-N
S-I-N, I S-I-N)

You play ring around the ambulance,
Well like you never gave a care.
So get the choir boys around you,
It's a compliment, I swear.
And I said, ashes to ashes, we all fall down,
I wanna hear you sing the praise,
I said, ashes to ashes, we all fall down,
We got innocence for days!

Well, I think I'm gonna burn in hell,
Everybody burn the house right down.

And say, ha
What I wanna say
Tell me I'm an angel,
Take this to my grave.
Tell me I'm a bad man,
Kick me like a stray.
Tell me I'm an angel,
Take this to my grave.

You better run like the devil,
'Cause they're never gonna leave you alone!
You better hide up in the alley,
'Cause they're never gonna find you a home!
And as the blood runs down the walls,
You see me creepin' up these halls.
I've been a bad motherfucker
Tell your sister I'm another
Go! Go! Go!

And I said, say,
What I wanna say
Tell me I'm an angel,
Take this to my grave.
Tell me I'm a bad man,
Kick me like a stray.
Tell me I'm an angel,
Take this to my grave.

Tell me I'm a bad, bad, bad, bad man.
Tell me I'm a bad, bad, bad, bad man.
Tell me I'm a bad, bad, bad, bad man.
Tell me I'm a bad, bad, bad, bad man.
So get up!
So get out!
S-I-N, I S-I-N!

The crowd cheered through the rest of our set and after we left the stage. We meet up with Liam at the side of the stage and some people came up to us asking for pictures and autographs. Liam was all smiles watching as we all were surrounded by people congratulating us. I tackled him in a hug.

"I Fucking love you Liam!!" I said as he laughed at me.

"Love you too JoJo." he said patting my back. I ran over to CiCi as we started talk about what went on during the show, giving each other tips and such.

"You guys did good, didn't know you were in a band though Jordan." said a voice behind me. CiCi's eyes widen and a squeak left her mouth as I turned and looked at Matt.

"Are you following me?" I questioned with my eyebrow raised.

He just chuckled at me as Zacky smiled.

"Nah, we just heard about this band playing and you just happened to be the band everyone was talking about." he said. I narrowed my eyes at him.

"Mhmm, well thanks I guess, but we got to go, we have school CiCi." I said with wide eyes. Her eyes widen too before a groan left her mouth.

"Fuck." she said before she took off looking for her brother and the guys. I turn to look at the two rockstars.

"I don't know what the hell your doing, but you showing up is getting really creepy dude." I said shaking my head and walking towards the back of the stage to get my things together. Leaving the two rockstars smirk at my back.
