The tune that the wind carries that night was as melodious as snow white singing, the moonlight beam across the room and cascade over Kendra's face. in that moment all she wanted to do was take a walk in the midnight but fortunately for her, the door to her room creaked open slightly and she could see her cousin's shadow sneaking in.
"I'm awake stop sneaking"
Amy was startled but she quickly got herself back.
"get out of bed now, let's go out there's a concert one hour away from Grams Syl house and my friends are two blocks away"
"You know I was thinking of taking a stroll earlier before you came."
"legit, I came at the right time" Amy said
Kendra put on a tight fitted jean that was ripped at the knee and a black fitted crop top she threw on a leather jacket and buckled her boot.
"its gonna be a bit cold out there, take your head warmer and glove in case"
they snuck out of the house without being seen and walked two houses from their place.
Nathan was behind the wheel, while Sally and Natalie were at the back seat.
"Hey baby" Amy kissed him and hop in the front seat.
"My love" he smack her thigh softly
"Guys this is my cousin Kendra from Australia" Amy introduced
"the virgin one" Houston laughed
Kendra felt embarrassed and glared at Amy.
while the friends made a jest about her still being a virgin and her cousin trying to get them to shut their mouth, awkward. she kept mute and acted like they weren't there, it was something she was used to.
Don't get her wrong. she's not a nerd.
They got to the fair and Kendra got out immediately the car came to a halt. Amy hot at her heels.
"Kendra I'm sorry" She jerked her hand away from her elbow
"call me when you're about to leave" She walked away.
"You shouldn't have said that" Amy slapped Houston hand
"Said what?" He faked a sorry face.
Amy glared at him "There you blew your chance, she'd forgive me as a family but she would never want to do anything with you nor even be a friend"
"I will talk to her and get her myself" He said proudly
"Good luck" Amy said and walked away with the rest of her friends following her.
The Firelighters band came on stage and people roared with cheers and wave their hands in the air.
"Helloooooo" Adam's voice boomed into the microphone.
"woo-hoo" the audiences cheered.
"The song is- The Black parade" Adams announced in excitement.
There was the sound of drum rolls followed by the guitar.
When I was a young boy
My father took me into the city
To see a marching band
He said, "Son, when you grow up
Would you be the savior of the broken
The beaten and the damned?"
Sometimes I get the feelin'
She's watchin' over me
Kendra managed to navigate her way through the crowd, she hugged her jacket tighter to herself and walked away from the crowd.
She took the left turn that led to the forest but she dared not wander off in the middle of the night for fear of the unknown and what's not worse than getting lost in the middle of the night. Then boom! Your network goes off.
she chuckled at her own thoughts and sat down on a pavement, she took out her phone and scrolled through her gallery.
And other times I feel like I should go
And through it all, the rise and fall
The bodies in the streets
And when you're gone, we want you all to know
We'll carry on, we'll carry on
And though you're dead and gone, believe me
Your memory will carry on
We'll carry on
And in my heart, I can't contain it
The anthem won't explain it
A world that sends you reelin'
From decimated dreams
Your misery and hate will kill us all
So paint it black and take it back
Let's shout it loud and clear
Defiant to the end, we hear the call
To carry on, we'll carry on
The song ended and it seems to be the only performance for that night except if they arrived last.
Kendra was still mad at her cousin for telling her business.
"Hi, I'm sorry for what happened in the car earlier, I know it was a stupid thing to have said"
"it clear that you don't think before you talk" She lashed at him. Houston swallowed hard.
"I just came to apologize that's all" he said and turned to leave "forgive Amy, she had her reason for saying tho, I'm sure she wouldn't want a jerk for her cousin"
that caused her to laughed. "I will forgive her"
"Would it not be unfair if you forgive her and not forgive me too" Houston pouts his face.
kendra chuckled "I forgive you"
"Friends" he stuck his hand out, she rolled her eyes and shake hand with him
"Friends"Β she repeated and they exchange numbers
"Thank you and I will let Amy knows you're here" Houston said.
"Maybe he's not a jerk after all" she muttered and went back to her phone.
"What's a baby girl doing out here all alone"
"Argh" she screamed and he laughed.
"its just me" he said , a smile tugging at the corner of his mouth
"scared are you?' he lit his weed.
"hell yeah you startled me"
"Sorry" he scoffs
Kendra hissed.
"I'm Adams Bryant"
"I know, Kendra Sylvester"She said dryly
"Where you from"
"Adelaide, Australia"
"Same" he answered.
Kendra noticed his tattoo and smiled
"I like your tattoos" she complimented
"I'll see you around, I gotta go" He turned and walked away.
"idiot, I was just about to ask for your number foolish boy" she muttered.
She heard footsteps behind her and mentally face palmed.
"We gotta go home" Amy said
"Okay" she answered dryly.
when they got back home, outside Amy's room, she had apologized to Kendra and entered her room not waiting to hear her reply.
