Music Strings • Luka Couffaine

|Chapter 11|

Luka couldn't sleep that night, his thoughts were running wild as the breeze of the night. He couldn't control it, nor did he want to. Because his mind swirls with the thought of charming (E/C) eyes, specifically, (Y/N).

She was like a catchy song he can't get out of his head, she was mysterious, slightly devious, and all in all secretive. She has so much secrets left unsolved, and Luka wants to be the one to solve them all.

Luka closes his eyes shut, trying to set all those thoughts aside so he could get some sleep. Tomorrow is a very important day and he needs to be up.

"Alright everybody! Performers for today are to the left, and their band mates to the right." Clara Nightingale ordered, her hands firmly on her mic as she fixes everybody's positions.

(Y/N) was a huge bundle of nerves. She was scared, nervous, anxious even. It's been such a long time since she's sang solo, she doesn't exactly know if she can handle all the pressure once she goes up that stage.

Luka and Kitty Section on the other hand were dealing with a serious problem. Their band leader, Luka was already running out of ideas. But then a thought struck him, and if he can pull this one off there might be a chance for them to reach top 6.

(Y/N) waits patiently in her line, she was stiff as a board. Her mind racing wildly as she waits for the competition to start. Luka looks at her from afar, softly biting on his lip. His mind also racing with concern and worry not just for his whole team, but for himself as well. He doesn't know if he can do it, he doesn't think he could do it.

(Y/N) caught the unsettling look in Lukas eyes. She looked up the stage, there was still some time left for chitchat. So she decided to go up to Luka and Kitty Section to see what the problem was. (Y/N) ran up to them, her face held concern and worry as she felt Lukas aura glum.

"What's up?" She asked. Luka looked at her (E/C) eyes longingly, them gave her a small shrug.

"It's Rose." He merely replied. (Y/N) looks at him intently, urging for him to continue.

"She caught a cold." Luka said as he rubbed the nape of his neck. (Y/N) let's out a small gasp, her face filled with worry and concern not just for Rose, but for the whole team. If their vocalist isn't there to compete for today, does that mean they will get eliminated? Is this the end of the line for Kitty Section?

"Who's gonna sing then?" She asked. Luka looks at his team, then once again gave (Y/N) a shrug.

"That I don't know yet."

Before (Y/N) could ask any more questions, their gazes were taken by Clara Nightingale who was announcing the next contestant.

"And the next vocalist to sing for us today, is none other than (Y/N) (L/N) from (Bands Name)! Giver her a round of applause!!"

(Y/N) froze in her place as she hears her name being called out. She looks back at Luka, her eyes held fear and anxiousness. Luka could see the worry in her eyes, and he decided to give her a small pat on the shoulder.

"We'll be here cheering you on, (Y/N)." Luka says.

(Y/N) then tries to ease her rapid heartbeat, and when she was all good to go, she gave Luka a small nod before running up the stage.

She held the mic firmly in her hands, as if holding onto it for dear life. She was shaking and hyperventilating, she couldn't control her fear. Her fear of performing all alone in a wave of people, her fear of singing infront of alot of people all on her own. Even the mere thought of it scares the living daylights out of her.

But then she spotted her team, who were wildly cheering for her. Then she saw Luka, who had his arms crossed and a small smile plastered on his lips. That got (Y/N)'s hopes up just a teeny bit. Maybe she can do it.

She heard the into start, and then she started to sing.

How many days did I spend
Thinkin' 'bout how you did me wrong, wrong, wrong?
Lived in the shade you were throwin'
'Til all of my sunshine was gone, gone, gone
And I couldn't get away from ya
In my feelings more than Drake, so yeah
Your name on my lips, tongue tied
Free rent, livin' in my mind
But then something happened one magical night

I forgot that you existed
And I thought that it would kill me, but it didn't
And it was so nice
So peaceful and quiet

I forgot that you existed
It isn't love, it isn't hate
It's just indifference

The crowd was enamoured by her singing, her voice was like a tidal wave raiding the crowd of people who were cheering her on. It boosted her confidence, she was happy. She missed the feeling of having to sing at her own route.

I forgot that you
Got out some popcorn
As soon as my rep starting going down, down, down
Laughed on the schoolyard
As soon as I tripped up and hit the ground, ground, ground
And I would've stuck around for ya
Would've fought the whole town, so yeah
Would've been right there, front row
Even if nobody came to your show
But you showed who you are, then one magical night

I forgot that you existed
And I thought that it would kill me, but it didn't
And it was so nice
So peaceful and quiet

I forgot that you existed
It isn't love, it isn't hate
It's just indifference

The crowd was cheering wildy, requesting an encore. A shade of red was visible on (Y/N)'s cheeks as she walks down the stage. She then remembered that Kitty Section was up next.

(Y/N) the wondered who will sing for Kitty Section. Surely Luka won't give up on his team that easily. Clara Nightingale then announcement the next contestant.

"Due to some minor inconveniences, Kitty Sections performer for today will be none other than their leader; Luka Couffaine!! "

" L-Luka?!"
