After the Storm

Chapter 24: A piece of me gone Part 2

Part 2.

**Luke Peters**

My once full classroom was now completely empty. Ms. Kat came on the intercom and told all students to report to their dorms. All after school activities were cancelled. Jezabell and Delilah were the last two to leave the room. I have never witnessed anyone cry so much since my mom cried for my sister.

Jezabell had to be escorted to her room, her body and mind was too weak to carry her up to her room. Delilah was upset too, her cheeks stained with tears but she had more composure over herself. When everyone was out the class, and the halls became empty, all that surrounded me was the lifeless noise.

I wanted and tried so bad to cry and let it all out but I couldn't. Not a single tear would come out .

My thoughts were blank, my mind stopped working a long time ago. The clock that sat on the wall behind me was the only visible noise in the class. Each time the hands of the clock moved, another second passed. The more that passed was just more time that Mirror was gone.

If I couldn't have her here with me physically than it was only one way left. Standing up from my chair I made it out my door, locking it before I started down the hall.

Opening the auditorium doors, I walked into a dark room with only one light was shining. Just on the stage sat the grand piano with a faint light coming from the ceiling light's.

How can one object hold so many memories that taken place in so little time?

My hand traced over the top and shivers were sent through down my spine. I remember the night we shared on this piano, although we made it somehow to my room. I have never wanted anyone so badly in my life as much as I wanted her. I was hesitate at first, not only was this her first time but I have never felt so strong about someone. She was everything and so much more.

I could just picture her the day of the concert, sitting here as her fingers danced over the keys. She was gorgeous, not on the outside but the in as well. Im not saying this just because of our relationship. .. okay maybe I am a little but any guy.... or girl would be crazy out their heads not to see the beauty of the girl.

The sound room was just behind the wall connected to the stage. All music sounds were controlled in this room, along with instruments raging from the littlest flutes to the largest cello. I switched on the audio table that held the instrumental sounds and chose the song I wanted in particular. Before heading back out, I grabbed a guitar so I could at least play along. Making my way onto the stage, the music started to began. I gribbed the neck of the guitar and pulled the strap over my head, getting comfortable on the bench of the piano.

Then I let my mind go empty and I began with the music.

A hundred days have made me older

Since the last time that I saw your pretty face A thousand lies have made me colder

And I don't think I can look at this the same But all the miles that separate

Disappear now when I'm dreaming of your face I'm here without you baby

But you're still on my lonely mind

I think about you baby

And I dream about you all the time

I'm here without you baby

But you're still with me in my dreams

And tonight it's only you and me, yeah

The miles just keep rollin'

As the people leave their way to say hello

I've heard this life is overrated

But I hope that it gets better as we go, oh yeah yeah

I'm here without you baby

But you're still on my lonely mind

I think about you baby

And I dream about you all the time

I'm here without you baby

But you're still with me in my dreams

And tonight girl it's only you and me

Everything I know and anywhere I go

It gets hard but it won't take away my love

And when the last one falls, when it's all said and done

It gets hard but it won't take away my love, whoa

I'm here without you baby

But you're still on my lonely mind

I think about you baby

And I dream about you all the time

I'm here without you baby

But you're still with me in my dreams

And tonight girl it's only you and me, yeah oh yeah oh

As the music ended, reality hit me.

A part of my heart was gone and it would never be replaced.
