|Entry#24: Dear Daina|

"Look at me, Day."

"No."

"Please...just look at me. I didn't mean it. I never did."

"I don't care. I will NOT look at you no matter what."

"Let me explain myself at least."

Daina pulled out of his grasp. "I told you...No."

His fingers slid off of her arm.



Dear Daina,



Do you ever have love issues? Don't be specific if you don't want to.



Love, Eliza.



Daina stopped breathing for a second. "I hate him."

The door to her room creaked open. "Day? You okay? I heard about you and Brendon." Lance said.

Daina shook her head. "I don't want to talk about him."
Emerson popped in behind Lance. "Then let's go to our infamous Maine after tour party. We all need a break."
Lance nodded his head as he shook her shoulder gently. "We know you love to party. Just have fun for tonight. Let it wash away your sorrow."
"But what if that damn party doesn't wash away my sorrow?! It won't work!" Daina kept in all the tears. The tears that died to pour out.
Emerson looked to Lance. "Where is my favorite girl that could take anything? She used to be in control of herself. And I think her name was Daina Leone." Lance whispered.
Daina rested her head on her hand. She hated to admit that Lance was right. She was acting as if Brendon was everything. No he wasn't. He was just a boy that a part of her life.
A boy that made a terrible mistake with a bleach blonde in Cali.

Daina sucked in all the air she could. "Okay guys. I think I'm ready for this."
Lance chuckled. "Oh really? Are you trying to be anorexic or something?" He poked her visible rib cage.
Josh and Emerson sat in the corner of the room, playing a demo of their own, checking for any mistakes. "This is something we need to focus on, Lance. Not Daina and her fake skinnyness." Josh joked.
Daina ran over to the CD stereo. The music poured out and into their ears.
"I can't. I just can't. You aren't enough. You aren't a drug. Please just...shh." Josh paused the song.
"Day, didn't Ryan write this song for you?" Emerson shoved Josh away from the stereo.
Daina took a step back onto the couch. "He did. Why?"
Lance's eyes widened. He didn't want Josh to ask the wrong question. But he did.
"But didn't Brendon write a song for you along the same lines?"

|Entry#23: Dear Emerson|

Emerson took one last look at the amp bar before jumping onto the stool then onto the bar itself.
You see, an amp bar is where a bar resides made up of amps. Of course the guards that are there are extremely careful with spilling their drinks in the right places.
Girls were crying to Emerson as he bent over, still playing his bass.
Daina, on the other hand, had her guitar being thrown all over the place, still strapped to her body.
Lance was also playing his guitar and jumping all over the place. But one thing he had wanted to do...was jump into the crowd.
At first he had to think about it, almost missing his ques on singing twice, but he made the decision on not jumping. Entering in a casual manner.
Daina took the mic into her sweating hands. "So, our last song is one we all know and love. Deadly Sins is going to play..."
Josh started to play a midevil beat in the back. The kind that you hear in metal bands that scream throughout the whole song.
Emerson jumped off the bar and also started playing a beat to go along with Josh's playing.
Lance grabbed one string and plucked it, carefully bringing his finger down to make the ear killing noise.
Daina also started playing, making it obvious what song it was.
The song named after them. Deadly Sins.
"You are the only one tha-t, can make something sound so good. Something that never sounded so good after all." Daina screamed into the mic. Her heart was racing and her face was getting hotter by the second.
Lance spun around in circles and stopped to run over to his mic and start screaming over and over again, "I can't bleed. I can't see. These deadly sins behind me."
"I hope you know that I can't stand to see you cry for me. But leaving this world, is all I want from me." Daina paused so Lance could do his quick but sweet solo. "My deadly sins are right behind me. And I can't spare, that all I've done is soon to perish but not too long. The bones are sitting here, they're sitting here in front of me. But the blood is draining, all these deadly sins have come for me."

And with that, they finished up the song and ran off stage.
Daina loved to hear the fans scream.
Lance had wanted to hear Cassidy scream his name.
Josh had wanted to get off the stage because he had to go to the bathroom.
But Emerson needed a smoke.
So, he fled to get his cigarettes then to the bathroom.
Boy, he wanted to die so bad.
