Is It Friendzone

Was Like Heaven For a While

5 Month Later

Dave and Sally started to live together. They are having a 1 month break before the summer tour. They helped each other to get well mentally, but Sally worked most on Dave. Dave kept pretending that he is ok but he actually still was struggling with nightmares. So one night when Sally is outside Dave is drinking alone at home and improvising some random new stuff on the acoustic guitar. And at some piont he sings those lyrics:

Oh, was like heaven for a while
Of what I cant find where that was.
Gonna spend all my life
To find that piece of heaven again.
Oh, would sell my soul to devil.
To be able to kiss her once again,
And to feel her heartbeat
One more time.

At that moment Sally actually arrived, leaned to door sill and listened all that. She sees him for the first time singing this emotional and she knew that he did not write that to her. She was about to cry but she suddenly says:

- Such a beautiful song. We have to record this.

Dave startles with that and he asks:

- For how long are you there?

Sally says:

- Long enaugh.

Dave feels kinda guilty but said nothing.

Dave goes to studio, plays the song acoustic to Chris, but Chris says:

- Bro, this is a beautifull song, but I'm not gonna sing this song. These lyrics... (takes a deep breath) I'm not even asking the story behind this song, cause all we know. It would be a better decision letting you to sing this song, and release that with your name as your solo single rather then releasing this as an "Internal Combustion" song. I think Henry thinks the same.

Chris looks at Henry and Henry goes:

- Dont look at me like that. I'm just a manager. You guys made enaugh money to make the company drop your balls. Now you guys are boss again. I'll do whatever you say.

Dave looks to Chris and tells everybody to leave the studio again. And he records the song alone by himself again, but this time he does that by not drinking any sip of alcohol. Because the record must be perfect. He recorded all instruments, and after that when it's time to record vocals he struggles a lot, cause every time when he starts to sing he gets about to cry but he holds that. After all those tough vocal records, eventually he done every vocal line. He gets out of cabin when he done last vocal line and does not listen the result. Then he opens fridge, sees no whiskey there, just a bottle of vodka and a lot of beers. He takes the bottle of vodka, drains that bottle till the half of that, walks from side to side in front of computer for a while, and then he starts the final form of the song. Throws himself to couch and starts to listen that by sipping the vodka. With every second of the song he has another flash back. And eventually he falls sleep there. And drops the bottle down.
