[font=times new roman][color=black]And they, say,
she's in the class A team,
stuck in her daydream,
been this way, since eighteen, but lately,
her face seems, slowly sinking, wasting,
crumbling like pastries, and they scream
the worst things in life come free to us

He nudged the young man beside him with a pointed elbow, a mirror image besides the marks all over his face. The other was dressed in all black as if it were going out of style, and scars, both deep and shallow, covered much of his exposed skin. One arm was over Oliver's shoulders, his left, while his right hand rested against part of his headphones. He was tapping a foot to the rhythm of the music he was listening to, and his head was nodding back and forth. His brother's eyes snapped open, and he paused the music, shoving his headphones to his neck. "You alright, Oli?" He asked quickly, his voice not even hiding the concern.
Oliver nodded, smiling. He pushed Jesse's iPod into Layton's hands. "I just wanted to know what this song was about," he replied in his soft voice. "It's so pretty."
His brother held the mp3 player in his hands and glanced at the screen. "Oh," he said, biting his lip. "I think it's about heaven."
At that moment, Tristen and Jesse, who were both chatting with a boy from school, began cracking up. Oli observed Layton glare at them, and then the two fell silent. Layton handed back the iPod, scowling for no apparent reason, and began to listen to his own music again. Oliver decided to do the same. Tears stung his eyes at the part he hated.

covered in white, closed eyes,
and hoping for a better life
This time, we'll fade out tonight, straight down the line
