~*POV Tony*~ *2 weeks later*

After I got out of the hospital the day after it happened, Vic and Mike were kind enough to allow Jaime and I to stay with them. After a bit of failed apartment searching, they basically guilted us into moving in for real. So the 4 of us live together now. I feel like it was for the best though, we've been spending a lot of time together just hanging out. Band wise we have 3 songs completely done, and I have to say, they sound pretty good.

Mike has taken it upon himself to be my new best friend... And it's really killing me, because I just want to hold him and kiss him and be his again. But no, he wants to be my best friend and help me stop cutting, which I haven't done since that night... But still, he's trying to take care of me, when I really don't need it. It's not like he's being a bad friend, he's great. I just... I already have a best friend, what I want is a boy friend. Not just any boyfriend though, I want him.

It seems like Jaime's been hanging around with Vic a lot lately. They've gotten really close, it almost seems like he's replacing me... But at the same time I don't blame him, Mike's been hanging around me a lot and from Jaime's point of view it might seem like I'm replacing him. It seems like we need a best friend day... And soon...

Right now we were finishing up a normal practice. No writing today, just rehearsing. Can't forget what's already done...

"Guys," Vic said, as we were about ready to pack up for the day, "I have an idea, but it's a bit cheesey..."

"What would that be?" Jaime asked. I rolled my eyes at him, of course he's the first to say something...

"It might just be me," he started, "But it seems that there's a lot of tension in the house lately and it's really bothering me."

"It's not just you," Mike said, glancing at me, "Something's definitely been off... Do you have an idea to fix it?"

"I do," he responded, "But like I said, it's cheesey..."

"It can't be too bad," Jaime said, "Tell us."

Vic sighed, "So, I had this idea that we all get out whatever emotions we're feeling, like through song... Like we all sing something?"

I shrugged and looked at Mike and Jaime. Jaime nodded and Mike just shrugged also, "Can't hurt to try," I said, "But you're going first Vic."

"Fair enough," he said before picking up his guitar. He strummed the first chords of a song that was very familiar to me, and probably the rest of the band too;

Today is gonna be the day
That they're gonna throw it back to you
By now you should've somehow
Realized what you gotta do
I don't believe that anybody
Feels the way I do about you now

Backbeat the word was on the street
That the fire in your heart is out
I'm sure you've heard it all before
But you never really had a doubt
I don't believe that anybody feels
The way I do about you now

And all the roads we have to walk are winding
And all the lights that lead us there are blinding
There are many things that I would
Like to say to you
But I don't know how

Because maybe
You're gonna be the one that saves me
And after all
You're my wonderwall

Today was gonna be the day
But they'll never throw it back to you
By now you should've somehow
Realized what you're not to do
I don't believe that anybody
Feels the way I do
About you now

And all the roads that lead you there were winding
And all the lights that light the way are blinding
There are many things that I would like to say to you
But I don't know how

I said maybe
You're gonna be the one that saves me
And after all
You're my wonderwall

I said maybe
You're gonna be the one that saves me
And after all
You're my wonderwall

Said maybe
You're gonna be the one that saves me
You're gonna be the one that saves me
You're gonna be the one that saves me

When Vic finished the song, he looked up from his guitar and right at Jaime, who was standing a crossed from him in the little circle we formed "And that's what I've been feeling lately..."

"Well someone has a new crush!" Mike gushed, poking his brother's side, "Have you said anything yet?"

"I haven't yet," he said, shrugging "I don't know how..."

"Mine turn!" Jaime exclaimed, grabbing the guitar, "I wrote this myself."

I just fell in the deep end
Like a lush without her weekend
I wrote this for you kid
It's not what I wanted but I need it
But man it's a long trip
From all the crazy things I've seen in this world
I'm blessed, I guess

What if I was the secret and you couldn't keep it
And I swear I saw something good in your eyes before
And if I sang it in the right key
And I asked you politely for you to find a way home

I find it difficult to sleep when all the walls
Seem to speak to me
I find it that I can laugh
Because my heart's so fucked up I can barely stand the
Sudden sounds of the cars outside
The red and greens on the traffic lights
That the only thing I got is this
The only thing I want is this

Memories to make me smile
A girl to stand there and so she can admire
The way I can never ever really keep my hands to myself
But the alcohol, it tastes so sweet
When it's mixed with lies and defeat
Oh all the battles I lost and lost again

What if I was the secret and you couldn't keep it
And I swear I saw something pretty in your eyes before
And if I sang it in the right key
And I asked you politely for you to find a way home

What if you were the secret
And I didn't see it
And I swear to God I wish these thoughts of mine
Could create the sunshine
It's beautiful as your eyes
I paint this night sky
And it's not like you need this
I just wanted you to see it
Tonight

He sighed and looked up, his face bright red, "There you have it."

"Jaime," Vic said, "That was great... I didn't know you wrote..."

He shrugged, "Only when I need to, I can't just summon the skill like you can."

Vic chuckled and blushed slightly, "Who's next?"

"I guess that's me..." I said slowly, I know what I want to sing, I just don't know if I have the balls to do it. I took the guitar from Jaime and, with a rush of courage, started singing;

Hey there it's good to see you again,
It never felt right calling this "just friends".
I'm happy, if you're happy, with yourself.

Take off your shirt, your shoes,
those skinny jeans I bought for you.
We're diving in, there's nothing left to lose.

I'm gonna break down these walls, (down these walls) I built around myself.
I wanna fall so in love (so in love), with you, and no one else,
Could ever mean half as much, to me as you do now.
Together we'll move on, just don't turn around,
Let the walls break down.

I used to wear you like a ball and chain,
I'd run and hide at the call of my name.
It was obvious you were too much for me.
Oblivious, I was young and horny.

In retrospect, I wouldn't do it again.
Stop talking shit to every one of your friends
I'm not the same boy you knew back then...

'Cause I can break down these walls, I built around myself.
I wanna fall so in love, with you, and no one else,
Could ever mean half as much, to me as you do now.
Together we'll move on, just don't turn around,
Let the walls break

I can't breathe, my body's shaking.
You've got a way with the way you take me,
'Cause you break me down,
You know you break me down...

I'm gonna break down these walls, (down these walls) I built around myself.
I wanna fall so in love, (so in love) with you, and no one else,
Could ever mean half as much, to me as you do now.
Together we'll move on, just don't turn around,
Let the walls break down.

Break down these walls, I built around myself.
Let the walls break down. (break down these walls)
'Cause you break me down, (cause you break me down, cause you break me down)
Let the walls break down.

I took a deep breath before looking up at Mike. His face was red and a small smile rested on it. No one said anything. Vic probably knew who this was about, he was their for the original... And Jaime, was probably confused. Oh well, oh well, I'll tell him eventually, depending on the outcome.

"Ok," Mike said, "I know what I'm going to do. Vic, help me?"

"Of course," Vic said, taking the guitar from me, "What song?"

Mike leaned over and whispered something in Vic's ear, leaving a huge grin on Vic's face. What could Mike be planning?

Notes

OK THIS CHAPTER SEEMS REALLY LONG BUT IN REALITY IT'S MOSTLY SONG LYRICS HOLY POOP! So I've had the idea of Tony singing 'Walls' to Mike since like chapter one of the prequel... AND IT'S FINALLY HAPPENING!

WHAT DO YOU GUYS THINK MIKE'S GOING TO SING? I already know, obviously, but I want to know what you think ;)
