Challenge - 'Losing Grip' - Avril Lavigne

Joey crept around the bedroom as he was packing. He was leaving. Leaving the band and leaving is lover Chris.

He left an envelope and a c-d on his pillow.

With one last look, he slipped out the door and out of their lives.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

When Chris woke up he knew something was wrong.

"Joey?" He called, but got no answer.

He looked around and saw the envelop and c-d.

"What the...."

He picked up the envelope and opened it. It was a letter from Joey.

'Chris, This is to tell you that I am leaving. Leaving you and leaving the band. If you listen to the c-d, it explaines how I feel.

Joey

Chris swallowed and picked up the c-d. He dug around for his c-d played. He put the c-d in and hit play. Soon the song began to play.

Are you aware of what you make me feel, baby
Right now I feel invisible to you, like I'm not real
Didn't you feel me lock my arms around you
Why'd you turn away?
Here's what I have to say I was left to cry there,
waiting outside there grinning with a lost stare
That's when I decided

[chorus]
Why should I care
Cuz you weren't there when I was scared I was so alone
You, you need to listen I'm starting to trip,
I'm losing my grip and I'm in this thing alone

Am I just some chick you place beside you to take somebody's place
when you turn around can you recognize my face you used to love me,
you used to hug me
But that wasn't the case
Everything wasn't ok I was left to cry there
waiting outside there grinning with a lost stare
That's when I decided

[chorus]

Crying out loud I'm crying out loud
Crying out loud I'm crying out loud

Open your eyes
Open up wide
Why should I care
Cuz you weren't there
when I was scared I was so alone Why should I care
Cuz you weren't there when I was scared I was so alone
Why should I care
If you don't care then I don't care were not going anywhere
Why should I care cuz you weren't there when I was scared I was so alone
Why should I care If you don't care then i don't care were not going anywhere

Chris closed his eyes to fight the tears. The best thing in his life was gone.
