Chapter 1
[[Stop & Stare]]
Haley’s POV
Wide Eyed.
Yep, that’s the only way to explain it.
They just stared at me, for the longest time. Kinda freaky actually. It wasn’t quite a serial killer stare. It was just a frozen, blank expression.
Finally Joe broke the silence with, “What are you doing here?” but not rudely, more intrigued, like he really wanted to know. But all this question got him was a smack upside the head from Jesse.
“Boys, this is your tour mate, Haley Faith,” Kenny said. But since the boys just kept on staring, and I was just not a morning person, he added, “Well I’m going to let you kids get acquainted”. And with that, he walked off.
“So...” I said, breaking the silence.
I could see Nick’s lips move, but nothing came out, like he just didn’t know what to say.
“Okay, can you please stop staring at me like that, it’s a little freaky,” I snapped, causing all of the guys to come out of whatever trance they were under.
“I’m sorry, it’s just that…” Jesse stared.
“That we didn’t know that you would be tour with us, we were expecting another guy, no offense.” Kevin said.
“None taken,” I said with a smile.
“HALEY WE NEED YOU FOR WARM UP” called some random stage hand.
I smiled to the boys, kinda of a “got to go” gesture and then went up onto the large stadium stage. Taking a microphone from one, of the workers I went and stood on my mark.
After a couple of moments the music began to play, and I joined in.
“Are you overloaded
Candycoated
Your life's imploded now
There's a risk worth taking
A pain worth aching
On this hollow ground
( we can) Let go
Don't hold on to all of life's hardest parts
When we think of stopping
Let's keep on rockin
To the rhythm of our hearts
We can
We can break outta here
Jump on over there
Where the air is clearer
We can
We can forget the pace
win our own race
Become a broken chain, yeah
We are broken chains, yeah
Good and broken
Find the magic
Go and grab it
Your fate is in your hands
Come on, find a reason to believe in
Just tell yourself we can
We can
We can break outta here
Jump on over there
Where the air is clearer
We can
We can forget the pace
win our race
Become a broken chain, yeah
We are broken chains, yeah
Good and broken”
