The Voice From The Ocean
Chapter 1: Someone Else Instead
I just don't feel right at this show , this is not me , I'm acting and I never act.
I feel like I'm wearing a mask. Its fucking horrible.
(Not to mention the voice is getting louder.)
I'm not a hero but these kids are treating me like god. I'm no more worthy than any of those people in that crowd.
I guess from being the "shy loner" at school , you may think I am the total opposite of my former self but really I hate being idolised. I hate the superior treatment.
I'm going to share a secret with you.
I don't actually deserve this at all. I shouldn't be doing this at all. In fact this isn't my life.
I'm not saying this because I crave sympathy , I'm simply stating fact.
The unthinkable.
As I walk off stage , I feel the echoes of the bass lurking in my ears , it holds on.
I decide to walk to the beach , not a soul notices I've left which is unusual.
I start to welcome the feeling of being alone. I find a spot on the grainy sand , take my leather jacket off and lay it on the ground along with my restless self.
I begin to close my eyes and doze off.
Suddenly I wake up to the sound of a clash. I open my eyes and I cannot believe what I am seeing.
"Gerard your home early"
It was my grandmother. She had been dead for 10 years.
I began to stutter "y - y -you've be-" until I got cut off by a familiar face , except more youthful
"Bro you look like you've seen a fucking ghost"
It was Mikey. He looked about 13.
I feel like I'm wearing a mask. Its fucking horrible.
