Lies 1-50

There was a smell that stuck itself to the mucus membrane in my nose and refused to move the second he walked in the door. He stunk of sex, booze, and drugs. Drugs.

"Drake?" I asked. It was about midnight and every one else was sleeping. Noah was next to me snoring this melodic beat.

"Hey Charlotte."

It had been a week since that last show. It had been a week since that prostitute took him and he pushed me down onto the sidewalk.

"Hey... um."

"SO NOW YOU DECIDE TO SHOW YOUR SCUMMY ASS!" Skinner screamed from the bathroom. I thought he was asleep. "DO YOU KNOW HOW MUCH WE WORRIED ABOUT YOU?!?"

"No. I really don't care either."

"FINE! GET OUT THEN! NO ONE WANTS YOU HERE ANYWAY!"

By that point, the guys were up and Noah was groaning about being disturbed.

"I will. I have better friends now anyway."

That's when he took out a little bag of a sugary substance and snorted it.

"Jesus Drake! How could you?" I shouted and jumped out of bed. I pushed him out into the hall of the hotel building and started pounding his face in. Skinner joined me.

"WHAT THE FREAK DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING!?" He screamed into Drake's ear.

"What does it LOOK like I'm doing?"

"Being STUPID!" Skinner and I screamed together.

"I don't care what you think! I'm going back with Candy." He said and swatted our hands away as we went to punch him.

"Is she your whore?" I asked bluntly.

"No. You are."

Noah came out from behind me and punched him right in the face. "Don't you dare call her a whore."

Drake stumbled away and we went back into the hotel room where we were staying. A few minutes later a neighbor of our knocked on the door and questioned the noise.

"Sorry, it won't happen again." Skinner stated with his forhead creased into a small spot in the center.

"Charlotte, You're going to have to take over the guitar."

"Yeah, alright."

We were all to mad to sleep again. We sat up and watched re-runs of "I Love Lucy" for a few hours. At about 4 my eyes grew heavy and I drifted off into a dreamless sleep.

"WELCOME TO LE DISKO! WE ARE PROUD TO PRESENT FALLINGTHROUGH AS YOUR ENTERTAINMENT FOR TONIGHT!"

We stepped into the limelight and I started playing "Morning Noon And Night" carefully. It was the hardest guitar solo I had ever played in my life, and from what I'd heard I'd done pretty well learning it.

Skinner sang the words loudly. This was my second favorite song next to Turbulence because it was about a dying girl taking back her life only to have it ripped away in the end. It's a sad song and their longest one. It's very emotional, so there's only a little screamo because Skinner likes to make the music intense with his soft voice so the music can tell the story.

'She took his hand of silk and gold.
Only to be rejected of the hold.
He shook her off
And she went home.
TO FIND THE DOCTOR'S NOTE THAT SAME COLOR OF COLD.

Hello there Ruby.
I'm afraid I have to say.
You have just three weeks to live
You've got just those few days.

SHE WENT TO THAT BOY AGAIN.
Her secret tucked down in her skin.
Took his hand only to find it old and worn
Not so soft as it was before.

She found some new love that same day.
He loved her in his own way.
He saw beneath her face and into her soul.
Which is all she ever wanted anyway.

Hello there Ruby.
I'm afraid I have to say.
You have just three weeks to live
You've got just those few days.

Their weeks together grew as one.
She thought about her last day and saw his face.
Torn and DISTRAUGHT.
So she broke it off.
She broke his heart.
And made hers even weaker.

Her Doctor's voice was stuck at saying
Hello there Ruby.
I'm afraid I have to say.
You have just one more day to live
You've got just that last day.

She went to her room
And shut her violet eyes.
A tear to clean them off.
Was all she ever cried.

He waited for her phone to ring
But it never did.
And stuck on her lips were her last words.
Just tell him I loved him.

Hello there Ruby.
I'm afraid I have to say.
You have just three weeks to live
You've got just those few days.

JUST TELL HIM I LOVED HIM.

The crowd roared and then a single voice booed. Drake stumbled up to the stage and screamed, "HOW COULD YOU REPLACE ME WITH HER THAT... THAT... AHHHHHH!"

He lunged forward and grabbed my ankle. He pulled me down and crawled on top of me. noah jumped up so quickly his drums flipped over and rushed to my aid. But by then Drake had already punched my throat and I was gagging up blood. I felt my jaw crack as he brought his fist down onto it.

Noah ripped him off of me and threw him into the stunned crowd. No one caught him and I heard his spine crack. Then my vision went fuzzy and I was fighting to brreathe.

"You'll be okay Charlotte. SOMEONE CALL THE POLICE! Charlotte, stay with me! Honey stay with me. Please, I need you. Stay with me! CHARLOTTE!"

His voice grew more frantic as I became even less responsive and my breathing nearly stopped.

Then everything blacked out.
