[discontinued] I'm Listening... (Book 4 of the Can't Say series.)

Chapter 31

Take me all the way (oh)
Hear me when I say (yeah)
Let's kiss the past away
Like New Year's Day
Take me all the way
Hear me when I say
It's time to celebrate
Like New Year's Day

They all felt lost in the rhythm of the song just as Kevin dropped the beat.

Another year will dim divine
We'll play it back in slow rewind
And laugh about the cold and bitter nights
We're route our way on maps of stars
Hold on tight to fragile hearts
And keep our friends forever by our side

Something they could never let go of.

We could be kings of the world
On top of the nation
It's a celebration of the moments to come
The city's on fire
We're holding up lighters
Raising them higher and we've only begun

Take me all the way
Hear me when I say
Let's kiss the past away
Like New Year's Day
Take me all the way
Hear me when I say
It's time to celebrate
Like New Year's Day

The ball began to drop on Mitch's solo.

Morning breaks, take my hand
Wide awake with arms wide open
Catch your breath, walk this way
No regrets on New Year's Day
Morning breaks, take my hand (kings of the world, top of the nation)
Wide awake with arms wide open (it's a celebration of the moments to come)

"10! 9! 8!"

Catch your breath, walk this way (city's on fire, holding up lighters)

"7! 6! 5! 4!"

No regrets on New Year's Day (raising them higher, we've only begun)

"3! 2! 1! HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!!"

The crowd were screeching in celebration as the ball dropped completely, signalling the new year. The band felt the adrenalin rush and sang their hearts out.

We could be kings of the world
On top of the nation
It's a celebration of the moments to come
The city's on fire
We're holding up lighters
Raising them higher and we've only begun

Take me all the way
Hear me when I say
Let's kiss the past away
Like New Year's Day
Take me all the way
Hear me when I say
It's time to celebrate
Like New Year's Day

Take me all the way
Hear me when I say
Let's kiss the past away
Like New Year's Day
Take me all the way
Hear me when I say
It's time to celebrate
Like New Year's Day

Scott finished and they watched over the crowd, it was amazing, to say the least.

"And just like that, Happy New Year to you all in New York!"

The band were let out of the ball and walked backstage, the families of the band were already there to congratulate them and wish them a happy new year. Avi wasn't too happy though.

Avi:

ow... Ow... OW!

Thank you, Jesus, for not letting my water break in that ball, it would've been hell! We're walking over to our parents, I'm more of a waddle but what can you do about it?

We finally reached them and I don't think this is anything light.

C: "You guy's did so good!"

Kev: "Thanks, mom."

Mich: "Happy New Year, son."

Mit: "Thanks, Dad, you two and you mom."

N: "Thanks dear, you too."

Ok I can't keep doing this.

A: "hey kev...?"

Kev: "Yeah, Avi."

A: "Remember how we were talking about the new year and we were like 'It'll be a new chapter and what not with new surprises.'?"

Kev: "...yeeeaaah??"

A: "Well one of those 'surprises' are coming now and there's no stopping it. haha..."

He looked at me confused. Is he dumb or something- OH SWEET JESUS!!!!!

Kev: "...what are you saying to me?"

A: "We've been anticipating for months? Remember?"

He was clueless... My insides are being torn apart here...

Kev: "Avi, what are you getting at?"

This time, what I think to be the world's strongest contraption just hit me and now I'm whimpering in pain and using my mother to lean against. Fun.

Kev: "Avi are you ok?"

NO! OOOHHHH MY GO-- HINTS AREN'T WORKING TELL HIM STRAIGHT UP!!!!!!

A: "no i'm not ok!"

Kev: "Then what's--"

A: "oohhh HINT, HINT, DUMB BITCH I AM HAVING A BABY!!!!"

Kev: "I know you're pregnant--"

E: "No, Kevin that's not what he's saying..."

A: "Leave him behind, just take me to the hospital, someone, please!"

I think it finally clicked now everyone looked shocked or panicked. Kevin seemed to pale a little.

Kev: "avi... a-are you--"

A: "Yes! Yes, I am in labour, Kevin, this baby is coming and it ain't stopping-- AAAAAAHHHHAHAAAAAAAA!!!!!"
