Chapter Nine
L.A.'s POV
Where some people have One Direction and bands like that, Khloe has Anthem Lights. It turns out she is a lightbulb.
Since my little slip up (honestly I couldn't help it, I was just so shocked) about the Joey guy, she insisted details. And stat. I finally managed to get by with saying I'd ran into him at a wedding over the summer. She seemed satisfied.
However since I was clueless about her favorite band, it was time we got down to business. For the next... Well honestly I have no idea how long it was... we watched video after video after video. That, along with Khloe spouting off details, I learned more about Anthem Lights than I thought could be humanly possible.
"Wait, one more video!" Khloe exclaimed when I yawned.
I gave her a look. "Okay, fan girl, but you said that three videos ago."
She laughs. "Well, I actually mean it this time." She does more clicking. "You know how some of their videos we watched how they were trying to help a cause of some sort. This another one of those. She clicks play on the YouTube video and we sit back and watch. "This is one of my favorites." She whispers.
Something about this video instantly draws me in. Right from the title, Just Fall and the quote. Next the video actually starts, and I feel hot tears falling down my face at the sight of a very familiar face. The man in the video, whose name was John. He was one of the few people that knew my circumstance. I'd met him after my parents' funeral, when I had snuck into the cemetery one night. He was laying on the ground, he'd rolled off when he heard me coming. He became my friend, I went and visited him quite a lot, then suddenly he wasn't around any longer.
Then there was the fact of the lyrics and beautiful voices of these guys. And Joey's eyes were even bluer in this video. No matter how I tried, I couldn't stop my tears. Any unexplainable feeling came over me. I had no clue what this was. But I found myself whispering a small 'help me' towards the sky.
When the video ended Khloe had a peaceful smile on her face. Then she looked at me. "L.A. what's wrong?"
The words were easier than I had ever felt before. "I have a secret. I need to tell you something you don't know about me."
James POV
Overall the first day of my new school was pretty good. But I had no idea that that was about to change drastically.
"Hi hon." My mom stood in the kitchen, hands jittering. The counter's were covered in just about every type of cookie known to man. Uh-oh. She that's the thing about her, she has this really odd habit of baking therapy. Different baked goods, mean different emotions. I knew this wasn't good, cookies always meant she was really nervous/worried about something.
"What's wrong?" Pleasantries could wait till later.
"There's something you should know... about part of the reason we moved back to Nashville." She looked over her shoulder, "Richard, get in here. It's time we tell him."
There stood my father in the doorway, much stronger and more of a father figure since he'd accepted God into this life and heart. He'd gave up his habit of drinking, and was really making changes. But in his eyes right now, was a look of utter sorrow. "Son. You might want to sit down. There's something we need to discuss with you."
I looked back and forth between my parents, my heart beating like a drum in my chest. What was this about?!?
