The Symphony

Chapter 1

I pushed open the double doors of the academy, smelling in the scent of my old home. Pogo walked up to me. "Greetings, Ms. Y/N," he said, his eyes twinkling. Pogo had always been nice to us kids. Actually, only Dad was cruel to us. Screw him. He's dead anyways. I nodded at him, and continued through the house. 

I immediately made a beeline for my room, and sat on my old bed. I looked around. The bland white wall always made me sick to my stomach. It was a constant reminder from dad that I needed to put some color and feeling into my singing. 

I still couldn't believe he was gone. I wondered if I yelled at his ashes that he would suddenly reincarnate and come back to haunt me. I shuddered. I was always one for imagination. 

I suddenly heard talking, and went down the stairs, greeting the familiar faces of my family. "Hey, there's my favorite sister", said Diego, rubbing my hair. I grumbled. "Diego, you're ruining my hair," I said, folding my arms. I always had a good relationship with Diego. Probably because we always comforted each other when Dad was giving us a hard time. "Hey Allison, Vanya," I said, waving at my other sisters. I went upstairs, to take a look around when I heard rustling coming from Dad's study. I opened the door and saw Klaus sitting on Dad's chair, rummaging through his drawers. Allison appeared behind me. "Klaus, what are you doing?" I asked, walking over to him. He looked up with wide eyes. 

"I just came down here to prove to myself that the old man is really gone. And he is! He's dead! Yay!" he started clapping. I smirked and slipped out a laugh. Allison shot me a look. "What?" I mouthed. Luther stood at the doorway, clearing his throat. I shot him a look. 

Honestly, we didn't have the best relationship. I walked out the door not before glaring at him. He always ruined the fun. He glared back at me. 

I went up to the roof and started singing Floating. 

2am, and I'm still breathing
Staring at my thoughts floating up to the ceiling

The wind started blowing my hair. A tiny warm hurricane built a cocoon around me. 

I'm swimming in everything you said
I'm thinking 'bout jumping in instead
I've got you skinny dipping deep inside my headIt's in the way you see
You know what I need

My eyes glowed green

It's in the way that you're holding me, bringing me close
You know that I won't let go
You've got me on repeat (repeat)
You've got me in a dream (a dream)

I started floating upwards, my body levitating

I let my worries go soon as you come through the door
Thinking 'bout what it'd be like to be yoursEvery time you move
You're looking like you're dancing
I think that you could have it
(Ooh-ooh)

My body moved along with the music

Everything you do
I want to do it with you
Don't ever want to miss youWoah, oh
You do, you do, you do
You do, you do, you do, you doIt's in the way you touch me
I don't know much about love
But I'll keep on checking my phone to see when you're home
Or when you want me to pull up (ah)
We're one in the same
You got me caught in a daze (oh, no)

The clouds darkened. 

I love it when you say my name real slow
All my love is your'sI'm swimming in everything you said
I'm thinking 'bout jumping in instead
I've got you skinny dipping deep inside my head
(Inside my head)Every time you move
You're looking like you're dancing (dancing)
I think that you could have it (you can)
(Ooh-ooh)
Everything you do
I want to do it with you (with you)
Don't ever want to miss youWoah, oh
You do, you do, you do
You do, you do, you do, you do2am, and I'm still breathing
Staring at my thoughts floating up to the ceiling

I stood on the rooftop feeling better than I had had in years.
