We Dance in Misery

~~Begin Story~~
"Why do we do this?" Lena asked Nina. Nina shrugged.
"What do you mean?" Nina asked.
"Why do we dance and sing and sell ourselves? What does it do for us?"
"It gives us some money to put food on the table."
"That's not a good reason though," Lena said. "We shouldn't have to do this."
"It's a way of life, and we're the unblessed ones to get it, Lena. Can we drop this subject now? I'd rather not talk about our lives and the misery in which we live it. We talk about it nearly everynight."
"Fine, fine," Lena got up and walked away leaving Nina in her room in the back of the Moulin Rouge.
Lena walked down the hall and found Christian sitting against the wall writing down on a sheet of paper.
"What're you doing, Chris?" Lena asked. Christian looked up at Lena. Lena wasn't exactly the most beautiful of women at the Moulin Rouge, but she still held her own kind of beauty.
He shrugged, "I was thinking of...well...her again."
"Ah, and you wrote it down again?" Lena said, knowing the story. Christian nodded.
"What else is there to do, Lena? Why did I do this? Why?" Christian sobbed as Lena sat next to him and she pulled him into a hug. "He's so cruel now, I didn't know he was like that. Why did I do it? How drunk was I?"
"You were quite drunk, Christian," Lena said. "But don't worry, you can get out of it, you'll get out of it sooner or later."
"No," Christian sobbed. "I won't be able to get out of this...he'll hunt me down and bring me back, remember what happened last time?"
Lena and Christian both shuddered at the memory of what Zidler had done to Christian last time he tried to get out of this business. It was not a memory to touch on again.
"Did...did he do that to Satine?" Christian asked. Lena shook her head.
"No, darling Chris, he never did that to any of the girls, ever. He said that women were not to be mis-treated by him, least they're beauty should fade, and he was extra special to Satine, he treated her quite much like a lady," Lena said. "But now...with the Sparkling diamond gone, I'm afraid his kindness is too. We have to wear extra make-up with all the bruises we have. I think he's only rougher on you, because you're the first...and because...well I don't know...there's no reason for the way he acts to you..."
"Perhaps he blames her death on me," Christian said. "It was my fault wasn't it? If I didn't go back, she would've made it through the night, I was the one who said she meant nothing to me...and I over-exerted her with the songs and the dance, and rush of it all...Oh, the dance of joy and the song of love..."
"No, Christian, don't say that!" Lena said. "You did nothing wrong that night but confront the truth! And the truth was that she loved you, with all her heart. Oh, for her to see you like this now, in misery and loniless, and fear, from heaven whence she came did she go, and in heaven does she weep for you. She doesn't blame you, I don't blame you, no one blames you. It wasn't your fault, she got to confront the truth as well, and she went down, knowing that you loved her with all your heart."
Christian nodded, "Thanks, Lena. I don't think I'll ever love like that again...not to any woman, ever."
Lena gave Christian a hug, "I'm glad, Chris. Now let's get going before Zidler gets mad again."
With that, they got up and went out to the stage of the Moulin Rouge, to whore themselves off for another night.

So what'd you think? Haha, I have plans for this one, and now I think I'll be able to pull them off. Don't worry, Don't worry, High School Life WILL be updated soon, I promise, I'm working on it, I just need to find the right AFI song to give me the right inspiration for it, alright? I just have the perfect song for this one...
Anyway, "We Dance In Misery" is a lyric from (you guessed it) AFI! AFI's song, "Dancing Through Sunday" from "Sing the Sorrow" albulm, now in stores! Go buy it! They've had three singles from it so far, first was Girls Not Grey, which was their promoting song for Sing the Sorrow, and then Leaving Song Part II, and the most recent one is Silver and Cold. You may see the music video to it on T.V. now, I've seen it a few times.
May I interest you in other AFI CDs? Another GREAT one is Black Sails in the Sunset, and then there's the great, Art of Drowning which features the 2000 hit, "Days of the Phoenix". also, there's "All Hallows EP" which features "Total Immortal", another GREAT song by AFI.
FYI, AFI stands for "A Fire Inside" so don't ask me what they stand for! It's not the initials of the singer, or of the band members. Who are the band members you ask? Simple!
Lead Singer-Davey Havok (Havok is not his real last name, his real last name I shall not tell for none should know!)
Guitarist/BG vocals-Jade Puget (puu-jit)
Bass/BG Vocals-Hunter Burgan (Just Hunter, man!)
Drums/BG Vocals-Adam Carson (He is a pirate)
*a-hem* anway...yeah, as you can see I LOVE AFI, and I'm getting a lot of inspiration from them. Anyway...I'll update soon...tell me what you think...uh..bye...
