Tied Together With a Smile

Anna walked into the club at 6:30 that evening. She smiled at Ryan who was standing by the bar with a few girls.

"You ready for tonight?" he asked her.

"Yes, but I'm a little nervous"

"You'll be fine Anna. If I didnt' think you we're good I wouldn't have booked you. You'll be great!"

"Thanks!"

Anna headed back stage which only contained a few dressing rooms and a fridge with bottled water. She took the guitar out of it's case. She then began to warm up. At exactly seven, Ryan announced her to the crowd. She slowly walked onto the stage feeling very nervous. Her cheeks started turning red but she didn't care. Anna took her place on the barstool that was seated in front of the microphone stand.

"This first song is called Fall to Pieces. I wrote it when I was fourteen for a boy in my class. I hope you like it" Anna slowly began to strum along on the guitar. She took a deep breath then began to sing.

I looked away
Then I look back at you
You try to say
The things that you can't undo
If I had my way
I'd never get over you
Today's the day
I pray that we make it through

Make it through the fall
Make it through it all

And I don't wanna fall to pieces
I just want to sit and stare at you
I don't want to talk about it
And I don't want a conversation
I just want to cry in front of you
I don't want to talk about it
Cuz I'm in Love With you

You're the only one,
I'd be with till the end
When I come undone
You bring me back again
Back under the stars
Back into your arms

And I don't wanna fall to pieces
I just want to sit and stare at you
I don't want to talk about it
And I don't want a conversation
I just want to cry in front of you
I don't want to talk about it
Cuase I'm in love with you

Wanna know who you are
Wanna know where to start
I wanna know what this means

Wanna know how you feel
Wanna know what is real
I wanna know everything, everything

And I don't wanna fall to pieces
I just want to sit and stare at you
I don't want to talk about it
And I don't want a conversation
I just want to cry in front of you
I don't want to talk about it
Cuase I'm in love with you

I'm in love with you
Cuz i'm in love with you
I'm in love with you
I'm in love with you

Everyone in the club applauded loudly with made Anna feel great. She thanked the crowd and started singing her next song called Things I'll never say. During those two hours, Anna had the time of her life. She felt so alive on stage and relieved that they saw her for who she was. She finished her last song called Naked then thanked everyone for coming out this evening. She then headed off the stage.

"That was great!" said Ryan. He greeted her in the crowd. "Have you ever worked with a band?"

"No, just by myself in my room"

"If you ever want to work with my band you can come around at ten and rehearse with them!"

"Oh, thanks so much. That would be awesome!"

"No problem! Here is your money for playing tonight" Ryan handed her the money and smiled. "Well done girl!" with that Ryan walked off to find a new booty call for the night.

Anna put her guitar back in the case.

"Anna, I just wanted to let you know how talented you are" she heard a guy with a british accent say.

She turned around and was shocked to see Robert Pattinson standing in front of her with a crooked smile.
