We Can Dance in Death Tonight

Ricky has been M.I.A a lot recently, teaching Devin aka Ghost, all his bass parts. he was also spending a lot of time downstairs with Sam and Chris.

We were leaving in the morning, and I couldn't be more excited, but I didn't want to leave my baby.

"hey guys, after dinner, I want everyone downstairs" Sam smiled. for almost two months I wasn't going to see her face, that smile, those blue eyes, kiss her whenever, or anything. I had to make he most out of this night.

we sat down and began eating. the girls made our favorite, wings. Ang couldn't be more happy. we sat there and ate, Ricky, Chris and Sam keeping oddly quiet. I nudged her a little and she just looked at me and smiled.

"you okay?" I whispered, she just nodded.

once everyone finished, we cleaned up and everyone followed Ricky, Chris and Sam down to her studio. she grabbed her drum sticks and Ricky and Chris had their acoustics. there was a bunch of stools set up, and everyone took a seat.

"as you guys know, Chris, Ricky and I have been spending a lot of time down here and that's because I've been teaching them a little something. Allie, I asked Ryan to join us but he told us he's already done this before and was horrible" she giggled.

"it was sweet, but probably the worst voice ever" she smiled, kissing her husbands cheek.

"Ricky, are you ready?" Sam asked nodded.

"babe, remember that night we heard Balz singing to Sam and you and Abbey complained we never sang to you? we'll no more complaining" he giggled. I turned and nodded to me.

Chris began and Sam wasn't far behind. Shay tensed and almost started to cry! Ricky began to sing.

I've been jumping from the tops of buildings for the thrill of the fall Ignoring sound advice and any thought of consequence My bones are shattered My pride is shattered and in the midst of this self-inflicted pain I can see my beautiful rescue

(CHORUS) I'm falling more in love with every single word I with hold I'm falling more in love with every single word you say I'm falling head over heels for you

I've been dancing on the tops of buildings At the top of my lungs I'm singing you a song Don't you leave me along

My bones are shattered My pride is shattered Well I'll trample my pride and tell the whole world to dance with me

(CHORUS)

I'm crying out Wash my hands, these bloody hands lord Open my mouth and I'll sing

(CHORUS) x2.

"oh Ricky!" she squealed, jumping up and hugging him. she kissed him fiercely. Sam moved from the drums and grabbed the acoustic from Chris. Shay sat back down and Chris stood up, Sam taking his stool.

"well, when Sam first showed me this song, I immediately thought of my beautiful wife, so I just had to sing it. I hope you love it babe"

You're my forever girl

All things aside, just know No matter what you do, I'll be there for you When the world starts bringing you down, I'll be there to stop, And lift you off the ground

Cause we've got that thing People dream about, And see on silver screens It's undeniable, You're the one The only one for me

(CHORUS) Oh oh oh oh oh You're my forever girl, No matter what you do Oh oh oh oh oh You're my forever girl, And I believe in you Yeah, I believe in you Yeah, I believe in you

You're the apple of my eye My American pie, The light of my life They say things change with time, But, one thing is for sure, It won't be you and You and I

Cause we've got that thing People dream about, And see on silver screens It's undeniable, You're the one The only one for me

(CHORUS)

Go ahead and scream and cuss me out, Cause we'll be making love before the sun goes down No matter how angry or sad you can make me, It wouldn't change a thing

Oh oh oh oh oh You're mine forever girl, No matter what you do
Oh oh oh oh oh You're my forever girl, And I believe in you

Yeah, I believe in you x5

You're my forever girl

Abbey had began to cry and hugged and kissed her husband. Sam handed off her drumsticks to Chris. I moved over to her piano and placed her mic right above it.

"um so if Chris messes up, we all get to beat him up because its just the same thing over and over in this song" she giggled "I love you babe. you mean the absolute world to me" I smiled at her. Ricky began playing his acoustic. Sam's eyes closed

Slow down, the world isn't watching us break down It's safe to say we are alone now, we're alone now Not a whisper, the only noise is the receiver I'm counting the seconds until you break the silence So please just break the silence

The whispers turn to shouting The shouting turns to tears Your tears turned into laughter And it takes away our fears

(CHORUS) So you see, this world doesn't matter to me I'll give up all I have just to breathe The same air as you till the day that I die I can't take my eyes off you

I'm longing for words to describe how I'm feeling I'm feeling inspired, my world just flipped, turned upside down And turned around, say, what's that sound? It's my heartbeat, it's getting much louder My heartbeat is stronger than ever I'm feeling so alive, I'm feeling so alive

The whispers turn to shouting The shouting turns to tears Your tears turned into laughter And it takes away our fears

(CHORUS)

I'm finally waking up, a twist in my story It's time I open up and let your love right through me x2

Cause that's what you get When you see your life through someone else's eyes That's what you get, that's what you get

(CHORUS) x2

I got up and wrapped my arms around her waist, pulling her closer to me as she giggled, leaned down and kissed her passionately. I stared into those beautiful blue eyes.

"I love you. that was absolutely amazing" I whispered, she just smiled and mouthed 'I love you too'

"yay, Chris didn't mess up!" Ricky shouted. we all laughed.

"there's just a little more" I smiled. "girls?"

Allie, Shay and Abbey came to the center. Shay taking my electric guitar, Abbey my bass, Allie was on the keyboard and I had the mic. I was also going to be on drums. we all started playing and the boys just laughed at us.

Paralyzed by my envy of the night I am lost without you here and outside it looks like rain For the last time, I bleed myself dry tonight And nothing I could ever write, would help you understand this life There's so much beauty when your eyes lay lost in all the city lights The wax will drip as so as blood, romance is dead and all is lust. You are the water in my lungs, we've lost it. We are all alone.

Paralyzed by my envy of the night I am lost without you here and outside it looks like rain Tonight I bleed myself dry, I bleed myself dry, I bleed myself dry And nothing I could ever write, would help you understand this life There's so much beauty when your eyes lay lost in all the city lights The wax will drip as so as blood, romance is dead and all is lust. You are the water in my lungs, we've lost it.... ALL!!!

the girls helped Sam sing the last verse. all of us stood up, laughing and clapping.

we hugged each other goodnight and separated. I watched as Sam changed into a pair of Miss May I booty shorts and her favorite shirt, my tank top.

"I haven't worn these since TJ took them" she said bitterly.

"baby, don't think about that tonight, please" I told her.

we were still going over a little rough patch. just a week ago she met my ex, who acted like her car had broken down infront of the house and asked to use Sammy's phone. I came home and freaked out. throwing her out. a day later Sam saw my phone and all the messages between the two of us. we'd had our first legit fight, screaming and tears. this would be the first night since then that I was sleeping in our bed.

she laid next to me and put her head on my chest. I heard her light sniffles.

"I'm going to miss you so much" she whispered. I pulled her up farther and looked at her, wiping away the tears.

"I'll see you in San Diego. there's no worry honey, we've got our phones and our laptops. whatever time i'm not on stage will be spent talking to you, okay?" I asked, she just nodded.

I kissed her a few times and soon heard her soft snores on my chest. I was going to miss this a ton.
