There's a Fine Line Between Love and Hate

Chapter Eight

[Xander]
Ok. Ok, so maybe The Bulletproof Lovers weren't that bad. Fuck it, they were amazing. I really did under estimate them. Raven was the first to run off the stage followed by Blaze, Lexi then Cat. "Good job." Ryder said to them.
"Nice." Jasper.
"Oh my god you guys were great!" Axel exclaimed. Typical Axel.
"That was great." Zayne said.
"It was ok." I said. I mean, I'm not gonna tell her she was good. That would be wrong. It would ruin the image for myself that I have already molded.
"Whatever." Raven said.
"Short stack." I teased.
"Ugly." Oh hell naw. No one calls Xander McClain, ugly.
"Bitch."
"Bastard."
"Useless Slut."
"You know nothing about me." She growled at me, huffed and walked off, her band following. "Dude, not cool." Ryder said. Ryder and I were best friends and we started the band. Axel was next to join because all three of us became friends when we were younger. Zayne and Jasper met us 3 years ago at a music store.
"Oh come one she had it coming." I pointed out.
"She's right, man, you don't know anything about her." Jasper said.
"Whatever, we just need to get ready for Heroes." They all nodded and we walked away from the stage whilst the announcer man walked on. We were second so I went over and grabbed my mic. I took a deep breath and began my pre-show ritual. Yes I have one of those. I took a deep breath, jumped up and down 3 times, and checked my hair in the mirror. Perfect. As usual. "Come on boys it's our turn!" They all yelled, "Let's go!" and we ran on stage.
"Hey guys, we're back! It's cover time!" I yelled. Everyone cheered. I locked eyes with Jinxx from Black Veil Brides. I admired their band so much, but they hate me because of what happened with Raven before. "We're gonna do Heroes by All Time Low!" the crowd cheered as Axel started the song and everyone else faded in.

Not gonna miss you when you're dead and gone
Not gonna talk about you over and over and over
Not gonna file you under latest nostalgia
Or happily ever after
Not gonna listen to your played-out songs
Don't wanna think about you over and over and over
Not gonna read about the latest fads on your trendy blog
I want nothing to do with that
Cause you've made a mess of everything
(And I'm not listening)
You're not a hero, you're a liar
You're not a savior, you're a vampire
Sucking the life out of all the friends you've ever known
You're just a train wreck, not a winner
Up on your soapbox, preaching down to the sinners
The saints without a cause
We're not listening
We're not listening
I'm gonna start a revolution
Of convoluted disillusion
(Start a revolution)
I'll lead a war with no conclusion
And in my final hour, I'll be a confident coward
Cause if we stand for nothing, we'll fall for anything
You're not a hero, you're a liar
You're not a savior, you're a vampire
Sucking the life out of all the friends you've ever known
You're just a train wreck, not a winner
Up on your soapbox, preaching down to the sinners
The saints without a cause
We're not listening
We're not listening
Yeah this is moving in the same direction
But I'm a little too spent to care
Cause it's a battlefield till it blows over
Keep your friends close and your enemies closer
We're throwing stones though we live in glass houses
We talk shit like it's a cross to bear
You're only relevant until you get older
Keep your friends close and your enemies closer, enemies closer
They're gonna miss me when I'm dead and gone
They're gonna talk about me over and over and over
They're gonna file me under latest nostalgia
Happily ever after
But not a hero, I'm a liar
I'm not a savior, I'm a vampire
Sucking the life out of all the friends I've ever known
We're a train wreck, not winners
On a soapbox, preaching down to the sinners
Saints without a cause
We're not listening
We're not listening
We're not listening
We're not listening

I was jumping around the stage the whole time and by now I was sweating and smiling. "Thanks for listening!" I yelled as we ran off.
***
It's been like an hour and there was only one cover left. It was so annoying because the originals took a lot shorter. That's sad how short some people's songs must have been. All the sudden I heard a "Move out of my way." Coming from behind me. I realized we were in the door way leading to the side of the stage. I turned around to face Raven. Well not face, I was over a head taller than here, but still. "Move." She said.
"What it I don't want to?" I said with a smirk on my face. "Then this." She said as she shoved me out of the way. She actually looked really good and so did the rest of The Bulletproof Lovers."
"Lookin' sharp ladies!" Axel said with a big grin. Lexi chuckled and said, "Thanks dude."
"I'm gonna go watch out in the crowd." Jasper said as he walked away. "Me too." Ryder said. Next thing I know all of us are following him.
The lights suddenly turned off leaving it pitch black. I heard a bunch of murmurs but they were silenced when a spotlight appeared on the stage. Under it sat Cat. (It rhymes! :D) She was sitting in front of a white piano, that sat on a platform with wheels. Probably going to move later on. She started to play. I know that song anywhere. Lost It All. Another spotlight turned on at right stage when I hear Raven start singing. She had her head set on and she was looking down.

I ruled the world.
With these hands I shook the heavens to the ground.
I laid the gods to rest.

She walked over to Left stage looking at the crowd.

I held the key to the kingdom.
Lions guarding castle walls.
Hail the king of death.

Raven walked over to the piano and ran her fingers along the edges.

Then I lost it all

Dead and broken.
My back's against the wall.

She walked away from the piano and up to center stage, the light following her.

Cut me open.
I'm just trying to breathe,
Just trying to figure it out

She shifted her weight onto her right foot and raised her hands out a bit.

Because I built these walls to watch them crumbling down.
I said, "Then I lost it all."
And who can save me now?

three more lights turned on and I looked around to see Cat now beating a drum set that was on a platform with wheels. Blaze was at left stage playing guitar and Lexi on the right playing her violin.

I stood above
Another war,
Another jewel upon the crown.

Raven was the only one moving. She walked around the stage running her fingers along her band mate's instruments while they played

I was the fear of man.
But I was blind.
I couldn't see the world there right in front of me.
But now...I can... (Yeah)

'Cause I lost it all
Dead and broken.

She stopped at center stage and once again raised her hands as if she was reaching out to the crowd.

My back's against the wall.
Cut me open.
I'm just trying to breathe,
Just trying to figure it out
Because I built these walls to watch them crumbling down.
I said, "Then I lost it all."
And who can save me now?

The spotlights went off of Raven, Cat, and Blaze and everyone was looking at Lexi, playing a violin solo.

(Oh)

I believe that we all fall down sometimes (Oh)
Can't you see (can't you see) that we all fall down sometimes? (Oh, yeah, oh, yeah)

The girls all walked forward in a horizontal line (Cat, Blaze, Raven, Lexi). Cat and Raven were Clapping above their heads at a steady beat, getting the whole crowd to clap with them, while Raven still sang and Blaze and Lexi were playing.

I believe that we all fall down sometimes (Oh)
(Can't you see) Can't you see that we all fall down sometimes? (Yeah, we all, yeah, we all fall down)
Yeah

Lexi, Blaze and Cat stopped playing and their lights went off. Now the only lights were on Raven, standing slightly off center stage.

I believe that we all fall down sometimes
Yeah

As soon as she sang the last note, she looked down and then her light turned off, leaving it pitch black. The crowd erupted into cheers and all the lights turned back on. The girls turned to each other and shared a group hug.
"Thank you everyone! I hope you enjoyed! sadly this was the last song of the night but I know we had a lot o fun!" Raven said, and then ran off the stage while the announcer man walked on.
"Ok folks thats it for the night! I hope you producers know who you wanna sign!" he walked off the stage and everyone started to move around causing me to lose my band. I looked around and a then someone tapped me on the shoulder.
"Hey. Your band's looking for you, stupid." Dull voice. Small hand. Cat. I whipped my head around and said, "Well, do you know where they are?" she rolled her eyes and pointed to a tall black haired boy. Ryder. Cat needs to stop acting like she's the fucking king of the world and she's to good to talk to anybody. People like that bug me. "Ironic how you're the one saying that." She said and walked away. Fuck I said that out loud.
I brushed it off and ran towards Ryder who was talking to Black Veil Brides. "Hey man sorry I-" He turned around and that was not Ryder, It was Andy. He gave me a dirty look and I scrambled for something to say "Oh uh, sorry I thought you were someone else." I said and then ran off the find my band.

Notes

Hey guys! Sorry if it was annoying that I was describing their every move, I just thought of it and I loved the idea and wanted to put it out there! Oh and that's one of my favorite songs from Wretched and Divine.

Bai,
Alex
