Maxxy-GirlI don't think that passenger seat Has ever looked this good to me He tells me about his night I count the colors in his eyes
Max loved music. Next to writing it was her life. She spent so much time writing music, and singing it. She just loved it. She had taught herself to play a bunch of different instruments including guitar, piano, and drums. They were her favorite instruments next to the vocal cords.
Max brushed blond bangs off her forehead and slipped into the empty band room. She was kind of glad it was empty because when she practiced she liked to be alone. It was one of her few self consious moments. Well not few, Max was rather self concious. But once she got playing.. Well she could be in front of an audience of millions and she really wouldn't notice until she had finished playing. She always just got swept up in the music.
Max's hair was tied back in two loose braids. The ends of the braids were tied with two blue teddy bear hair ties. She was wearing a pale blue t-shirt with a brown teddy bear on it. The match between her hair ties and her shirt were unintentional of course. She just happened to enjoy both. Her bottoms were a pair of tight-ish blue jeans that fortunately didn't ride down when she sat down. They were her very favorite pair of jeans that she owned. Black and white converse snuck across the floor to the piano.
She settled herself on the bench and began to play. The lyrics began to flow from her mouth.
"2 AM and she calls me 'cause I'm still awake, Can you help me unravel my latest mistake, I don't love him, winter just wasn't my season Yeah we walk through the doors, so accusing their eyes Like they have any right at all to criticize, Hypocrites, you're all here for the very same reason
'Cause you can't jump the track,we're like cars on a cable And life's like an hourglass, glued to the table No one can find the rewind button girl, So cradle your head in your hands And breathe, just breathe, Woah breathe, just breathe
May he turn 21 on the base at Fort Bliss Just a day, he sat down to the flask in his fist, Ain't been sober, since maybe October of last year. Here in town you can tell he's been down for a while, But my God it's so beautiful when the boy smiles, Wanna hold him, maybe I'll just sing about it.
Cause you can't jump the track, we're like cars on a cable, And life's like an hourglass, glued to the table. No one can find the rewind button boys, So cradle your head in your hands, And breathe, just breathe, Woah breathe, just breathe
There's a light at each end of this tunnel, you shout 'Cause you're just as far in as you'll ever be out These mistakes you've made, you'll just make them again If you only try turning around.
2 AM and I'm still awake, writing a song If I get it all down on paper, its no longer Inside of me, threatening the life it belongs to And I feel like I'm naked in front of the crowd Cause these words are my diary, screaming out loud And I know that you'll use them, however you want to
Cause you can't jump the track, we're like cars on a cable, And life's like an hourglass, glued to the table No one can find the rewind button now Sing it if you understand. And breathe, just breathe Woah breathe, just breathe, Oh breathe, just breathe."
Half way through the song the door had opened. Max who was caught up in the music hadn't noticed. But now that the song, Breathe(2 am) by Anna Nalick, had ended she had noticed that someone was in fact standing in the doorway. Max's cheeks flushed briefly, and she recovered quickly from her momentary shock.
"Oh, hello," she said with a faint smile, traces of her Canadian accent hanging on her words.

Bailey was walking with a purpose, her guitar in her hand. Well, the case actually. As fun as it was to wear it around herself, especially when she was singing, it really wasn't very practical. What with the largeness of its size and all. Besides, she wouldn't want anything to damage it. That would just totally upset her beyond all reason. So it was definitely much safer to leave it in the case as she made her way to the practice room.
She hadn't been to practice in a while. It was her own fault too. She'd let her personal worries and emotions influence her actions. That was silly. It wasn't gonna change anything if she spent all her time moping. She'd have to do something to make things different. But for the moment, she needed to focus back on the real reason she came to this school. Her music.
Bailey was really hoping that there wasn't anyone in there. No... wait, that wouldn't be such a bad thing. What she was hoping was that it wouldn't be so bloody crowded. She was fine sharing the room...but not if it meant there wasn't any room for her to play!
As it turned out, there was someone else in the room. A girl it sounded like. And she had a very nice voice! Well, that was incredibly interesting. Bailey opened the door and entered, not making her presence known. It would seem rude to interrupt. Plus she doubted the girl would have heard her anyway. When it ended, the female finally noticed Bailey's was there. When she blushed, Bailey giggled a little. She knew what that was like.
"Hey." She greeted in response, waving. "You don't mind any company, do you?"
