La pluie de nos étoiles

Chapitre 7

Je vais m'installer au piano, je joue un accord juste pour voir si il est accordé. Kevin est juste à côté de moi, debout, en train d'attendre que je joue quelque chose, je prends mon courage à deux mains et je me mets à jouer la première chose qui me vient à l'esprit, et qui dit jouer du piano, dit aussi chanter. Je vois Kevin qui a déjà sortit son téléphone  pour me filmer.

Aller, je vais y arriver. J'inspire, les yeux fermés, puis je les rouvre, et c'est comme si mes mains se mettaient à jouer toute seule, et ma voix se mettait à chanter sans que je ne m'en rende compte.

So I never really knew you
God, I really tried to
Blindsided, addicted
Felt we could really do this
But really I was foolish
Hindsight, it's obvious

Talking with my lawyer
She said, "Where'd you find this guy?"
I said, young people fall in love
With the wrong people sometimes

Some mistakes get made
That's alright, that's okay
You can think that you're in love
When you're really just in pain
Some mistakes get made
That's alright, that's okay
In the end it's better for me
That's the moral of the story, babe
Oh-oh, oh-oh
Oh-oh, oh-oh
It's funny how a memory
Turns into a bad dream
When running wild turns volatile
Remember how we painted our house
Just like my grandparents did?
So romantic, but we fought the whole time
Should have seen the signs, yeah

Talking with my mother
She said, "Where'd you find this guy?"
Said, some people fall in love
With the wrong people sometimes

Some mistakes get made
That's alright, that's okay
You can think that you're in love
When you're really just in pain
Some mistakes get made
That's alright, that's okay
In the end it's better for me
That's the moral of the story, babe
Oh-oh, oh-oh
Oh-oh, oh-oh
Oh-oh, oh-oh
Oh-oh, oh-oh
They say it's better to have loved and lost
Than never to have loved at all
That could be a load of shit
But I just need to tell you all

Some mistakes get made
That's alright, that's okay
You can think that you're in love
When you're really just engaged
Some mistakes get made
That's alright, that's okay
In the end it's better for me
That's the moral of this story

Some mistakes get made
That's alright, that's okay
You can think that you're in love
When you're really just in pain
Some mistakes get made
That's alright, that's okay
In the end it's better for me
That's the moral of the story, babe

Oh-oh, oh-oh
Oh-oh, oh-oh
Oh-oh, oh-oh

Je joue le dernier accord, et après quelques secondes d'attente, j'ose enfin lever les yeux. Je vois qu'une petite foule s'est rassemblée autour de moi. Je reconnais Kevin au tout premier rang. Toutes ces personnes m'applaudissent ce qui rendent mes joues rouges pivoines.

-Astrée, c'était juste magnifique ! S'écria-t-il.

-Merci. Répondis-je en me passant une main hésitantes dans mes cheveux pour remettre une mèche à l'endroit.

La fin de la journée arrive plus rapidement que prévu, je me dis que je vais rentrer chez moi pour faire mes devoirs, mais je me rappelle soudain que j'ai déjà prévu d'aller à la plage avec Chêne.
