No Regrets
36-Concert In the Park
Niall’s P.O.V
I guess I should’ve expected that she would say something about her cancer, we all heard all the comments the fans were saying about her hair. But it still shocked me to hear her speak those words. When she glanced back at me I didn’t even try to hide my sadness I knew I had tears in my eyes and I was just staring into her eyes. She gave me a small smile and turned around. “This song kind of inspires me, to someday be the best at whatever it is I do.” She said and then she started to strum the guitar. At first I didn’t recognize the tune but I quickly realized what song she was playing when she started to sing.
Yeah, You could be the greatest
You can be the best
You can be the king kong banging on your chest
You could beat the world
You could beat the war
You could talk to God, go banging on his door
The crowd roared in approval at her choice of song and her voice. Her voice was beautiful. It wasn’t perfect or trained but it had its own form of beauty. An untrained voice mad her that more unique and she definitely sounded amazing. I was staring at her in awe as she sung, her eyes were closed in passion and her hands were strumming the guitar perfectly. She sang the song with so much passion and you could tell that she truly believed the words she was singing. I was vaguely aware of a camera crew taping her performance and was glad; I would be able to watch her sing whenever I wanted in case…
I shook that thought out of my head and kept watching her play. When the song finally ended the crowd was screaming in approval and Char had a huge smile on her face. She looked back at me and mouthed “Thank you” Her eyes were slightly watery but I think that’s just because she was so happy. She turned back around to the crowd who had started a chant. “ENCORE ENCORE ENCORE” She smiled wide and looked back at us and we all nodded our heads. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KmdHwtXyW-M
“Okay, that was Hall of Fame by The Script. But I guess I’m going to sing one more song. This song means a lot to me, and I hope you like it as much as I do.” I said and then turned my head towards the boys. “If you want to join in or help with vocals please do!” She said and then faced the crowd and concentrated on the guitar. Before she even started to play I knew what song she would sing. I smiled when I heard the first note knowing my guess was right.
Well I woke up to the sound of silence
And cries were cutting like knives in a fist fight
And I found you with a bottle of wine
Your head in the curtains
And heart like the Fourth of July
Again the crowd erupted in cheers at her song choice and voice. I had a soft smile on my face watching her pour her heart and soul into these lyrics that meant so much to her.
You swore and said we are not
We are not shining stars
This I know
I never said we are
Though I've never been through hell like that
I've closed enough windows to know you can never look back
If you're lost and alone
Or you're sinking like a stone
Carry on
May your past be the sound of your feet upon the ground
Carry on
Carry on, carry on
So I met up with some friends in the edge of the night
At a bar off seventy five
And we talked and talked about how our parents will die
All our neighbors and wives
But I like to think
I can cheat it all
To make up for the times, I've been cheated on
And it's nice to know
When I was left for dead
I was found and now I don't roam these streets
I am not the ghost you want of me
If you're lost and alone or you're sinking like a stone,
Carry on
May your past be the sound of your feet upon the ground and
Carry on
Woah my head is on fire
But my legs are fine
After all they are mine
Lay your clothes down on the floor
Close the door
Hold the phone
Show me how
No one's ever gonna stop us now
'Cause we are
We are shining stars
We are invincible
We are who we are
On our darkest day
When we're miles away
So we'll come, we will find our way home
If you're lost and alone
Or you're sinking like a stone
Carry on
May your past be the sound of your feet upon the ground and
Carry on
(No one's ever gonna stop us now)
(No one's ever, no one's ever gonna stop, no one's ever gonna stop us now)
(No one's ever, no one's ever gonna stop , no one's ever gonna stop)
(No one's ever gonna stop us now)
The lads and I had joined in and had let her sing all the main parts and had just helped with backup vocals and it sounded really good. Char had her eyes closed throughout the entire song and you could practically feel the passion she put into her words. When she opened her eyes again there were tears in her eyes and the crowd was applauding her and screaming. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6USM9HAYplw
“Thank you, for letting me come up here and for listening. That song means so much to me, whenever I am sad or depressed about my situation I listen to this song and it just inspires me to, well, Carry On. Thank you.” She said and the crowd screamed. She got up and walked over to me, set the guitar down and gave me a big hug. I heard the other lads get up and close the mini concert as I hugged her. “Thank you for this, for today. It was amazing, and I couldn’t have wished for anyone else to do it with.” She said in my ear and I smiled and kissed her cheek. She still had tears in her eyes and a single tear was running down her cheek. I brought my thumb to her face and wiped it away. I grabbed her hand, and we both waved to the crowd as we all hopped off of the stage and into the van. Char and I got in first and sat down on the benches. This kind of van didn’t have specific seats, it was open because it was mainly used for transporting equipment, and there was a bench that lined both walls for us to sit down in.
“You were amazing. I had no idea your voice was that beautiful.” I told her and she smiled up at me. I wrapped my arm around her waist and brought her closer to me. I leaned down and gently pressed my lips to hers and she responded with a sweet gentle kiss and we pulled away when we heard the other lads crowd into the van.
“Lottie that was amazing!” Liam said as he came to sit across from Char. I saw her smile and she said “Thank you! Thank you guys for letting me sing. It really was a dream come true.” I smiled at her and kissed her head and she smiled again.
“Our pleasure Jules! Zayn didn’t do your voice justice! It was perfect.” Harry said and she smiled again. Lou and Zayn were nodding their heads in agreement. I felt Char lean up when the car van started to drive back to the flats.
“Hey, guys, where do you normally go to get your tattoos?”
