The O'Connell boys

Chapter 8

I've been siting in my room listening to music for a few hours now and thinking, not about anything specific, just. Thinking. When I hear the door to Kats' room slam against the wall being thrown open, I'm hoping it was just pushed to hard, "f**k YOU!!!" guess I was wrong. I open the door to my room some more and watch as Jammy walks down the hall and down stairs with his bag. when he's out of sight I turn my head to look at Kat but she's already walking twards me. "What's up?" I ask. she walks into my room and sits onmy bed picking up my guitar running her fingers along the strings for a few seconds while I stand at my door before she asks "Do you play or is it for show?"

"I play, not great, but I play. Do you?" I ask her sitting down next her on my bed.

"Yeah I play." she states putting it in the position to play a song. When she asks "Wanna hear?" I practically jump for joy before saying in my most chill tone. "sure, if you want to play something, go ahead."

"What's your favorite song?" she asks.

"Boys will be bugs by-" before I can finish she starts playing an says "Cavetown, I know." then she smiles and starts singing

"I'm a dumb teen boy

I eat sticks and rocks and mud

I don't care about the government

And I really need a hug

I feel stupid (stupid)

Ugly (ugly)

Pretend it doesn't bother me

I'm not very strong but

I'll f**k you up if you're mean to bugs It's getting cold down here underneath the weather

I skipped class to sit with you

I really like your spotty sweater, if

Ladybugs are girls

How do you make kids together?

What's it like in a female world

I bet it's just so much better I just turned fourteen

And I think this year I'm gonna be mean Don't mess with me, I'm a big boy now and I'm very scary

I punch my walls, stay out at night, and I do karate

Don't message me 'cause I won't reply, I wanna make you cry

Ain't that how its s'posed to be? Though it isn't me

Boys will be bugs right?

(Boys will be bugs right?)I'm a dumb teen boy

All I wanna do is quit

My mum told me that she's worried

And I couldn't give a shit

I have friends who understand me

Their names are spider, beetle, bee

They don't say much but

They have always listened to me The other boys at school

Think it's cool to hate your parents

But they're lying all the time

The bugs advised that I should let 'em

And if you wanna cry

Make sure that they never see it

Or even better yet

Block it out and never feel it I just turned fourteen

And I think I know everything Don't mess with me, I'm a big boy now and I'm very scary

I punch my walls, stay out at night, and I do karate

Don't message me 'cause I won't reply, I wanna make you cry

Ain't that how it's s'posed to be? Though it isn't me

Boys will be bugs right?

(Boys will be bugs right?)Just turned fourteen

And I think this year I'm gonna be mean

(Just turned fourteen and I think I know everything)

Just turned fourteen

And I think this year I'm gonna be mean

(Just turned fourteen and I think the world revolves around me)Don't mess with me, I'm a big boy now and I'm very scary

I punch my walls, stay out at night, and I do karate

Don't message me 'cause I won't reply, I wanna make you cry

Ain't that how it's s'posed to be? Though it isn't me

Boys will be bugs right?Don't mess with me, I'm a big boy now and I'm very scary

I punch my walls, stay out at night, and I do karate

Don't message me 'cause I won't reply, I wanna make you cry

Boys will be bugs right?)"When she finishes she says "Any other songs" But before I can say anything Jesse says "Devil town, you know it?""Yeah, it's not great when I use a guitar, but I'll manage." she then starts.

"Life's alright in devil town

Yeah right, no one's gonna catch us now

Daddy's bought a new car now

We're fine, no one's gonna catch us now"

"We're all dead in devil town

That's fine, cause nothing's gonna scare us now

We're all in our dressing gowns

Mines white and stripy yours is green and brown

I forgot my name again

I think that's something worth remembering

Spiders in your favourite shoes

Just leave, them, because they're more scared of you"

"Devil town is colder in the summer time

I'll lose my mind at least another thousand times

Hold my hand tight,

We'll make it another night.

I still get a little scared of something new

But I feel a little safer when I'm with you

Falling doesn't feel so bad

When I know you've fallen this way too.

Life's a treat in devil town

My ears have acclimated to the sound

Pretty faces fly around and 'round

My head as it contemplates this town I've found"

"It's lovely in the evening time

But every time I close my eyes

The sunshine gets a little dimmer now

The clouds fall down

I sink my teeth into my fingers

Blossom swims across the river

How

Do you feel so proud

Every time I close my eyes

The colors fade and change inside

My mouth

It's all too loud

I sink my teeth into my fingers

Blood forms branches in the water

It's lovely in the evening time

But every time I close my eyes

The sunshine gets a little dimmer now

The clouds fall down

I sink my teeth into my fingers

Blossom swims across the river

How

You feel so proud

Every time I close my eyes

The colors fade and change inside

My mouth

It's all too loud

I sink my teeth into my fingers

Blood forms branches in the water"

"Devil town is colder in the summer time

I'll lose my mind at least another thousand times

Hold my hand tight,

We'll make it another night

I still get a little scared of something new

But I feel a little safer when I'm with you

Falling doesn't feel so bad

When I know you've fallen this way, too"

"Wow" Jesse breathes out while the rest our brothers, who have managed to gather around us, sit in awe. "That was amazing Kat." Nate says "Like we didn't know that already Jackass." Connor says in response.
