Tommy layed in his bed for what felt like hours but it was only an hour before someone knocked , Tommy didnt answer and just layed there with his eyes closed. it knocked again before the door opened
,,Tommy? you alright mate?" Phil asked and Tommy looked to him with half opened eyes and nodded ,,how was your first day?" Phil asked and sat down to Tommy who sat up leaning on the wall
,good' Tommy sighed
,,Were the teachers nice?" Phil asked and tommy nodded with a small smile
,,any homework you need help with?" Phil asked and Tommy stood up , he walked over to his school backpack , he opend it and got his Music homework out ,,what do you need to do for music?" Phil asked and Tommy gave him the letter with the assignment
,,start learning an instrument and play something in a Month?" Phil muttered and Tommy nodded
,,Alright , do you want to learn the Piano more? Techno can play Piano and violin , Wilbur can play the guitar and i dont really play anything" Phil explained with a small laugh
,Piano' Tommy signed and Phil nodded standing up , Tommy put his homework away and they walked down to the music room. Phil had made it a music room when Techno and Wilbur both told him they were really into music so they could learn better without getting disturbed.
Tommy sat down at the piano and opened it to see the keys
,,should i get Techno?" Phil asked and Tommy nodded just staring at the keys , Phil smiled at him and walked up to the Twins.
,ok so.. lets start with this?..' Tommy thought and started playing a bit and sang in his thoughts , it was a song his Father had started writing before he died and tommy kept it , reading it over and over again trying to finish it for him.
the song is ,,a sky full of stars by Coldplay" :) i dont know why but i like it and thought it would be a good song ig?
'Cause you're a sky, 'cause you're a sky full of stars
I'm gonna give you my heart
'Cause you're a sky, 'cause you're a sky full of stars
'Cause you light up the pathTommy sang in his thoughts while hitting the keys on the Piano , he loved playing that song and singing it in his head while he played. of course he would love to sing it but his voice hurt everytime he would try to talk so he plays along that hes Mute even if he isnt really mute anymore and hasnt has been for a few years maybe , he just didnt use his voice and he had a reason for it that no one but himself knew. Talking hurt when he did do it , he could get used to talking again and the hurting would stop but he had his reasons not to talk anymore till he would change his mind.
I don't care, go on and tear me apart
I don't care if you do, ooh-ooh, ooh
'Cause in a sky, 'cause in a sky full of stars
I think I saw youTommy contiuned playing but then stopped when he heard someone at the door , he looked to the door and saw the three men stand there
,,that was awesome Tommy!" Techno said and Tommy smiled at him
,thank you' Tommy signed
,,i knew you could play but that good? and it sounded like a song! but i dont think i know it.." Wilbur mumled at the end
,not out' Tommy signed
,,the song isnt out? did you write it?!" Wilbur asked excited and Tommy thought how to sign that he kind of did but also didnt
,,here" Techno said handing him a paper and a pen
,thank you' Tommy signed and started writing something down
My Father wrote the first two stanzas , thats what i played right now and i contiuned writing the other strophes but didnt play them right now Tommy wrote down and let them read it
,,wow... can you play the full song then?" Wilbur asked and Tommy nodded , he knew the whole song , so he didnt need what he had written down
,,do you have the text? we could try to sing while you play"Techno said and Tommy looked at him thinking about it before shacking his head as a no , he didnt want anyone singing his Fathers song. Only he was allowed to sing it and if he couldnt sing it then no one could.
,,alright mate" Phil smiled and they all sat down at the chairs in the room pulling them to tommy to sit near him while he played.
Tommy contiuned playing it while singing it in his head
'Cause you're a sky, 'cause you're a sky full of stars
I'm gonna give you my heart
'Cause you're a sky, 'cause you're a sky full of stars
'Cause you light up the pathI don't care, go on and tear me apart
I don't care if you do, ooh-ooh, ooh
'Cause in a sky, 'cause in a sky full of stars
I think I saw youTommy actually started to forget that there were people in the room with him and hummed along the lines.
'Cause you're a sky, 'cause you're a sky full of stars
I wanna die in your arms, oh, oh-oh
'Cause you get lighter the more it gets dark
I'm gonna give you my heart, ohI don't care, go on and tear me apart
I don't care if you do, ooh-ooh, ooh
'Cause in a sky, 'cause in a sky full of stars
I think I see you
I think I see youTommy was almost done and started trying to sing the last stronze in a wisper , his voice was quiet and sounded unclear like it hadnt been used for so so long
,,'Cause you're a sky, you're a sky full of stars
Such a heavenly view
You're such a heavenly view
Yeah, yeah, yeah, ooh"Tommy stopped playing and a tear tropped down his face , he didnt even notice he had started crying.
,,Tommy- did you just.. you sang!" Wilbur said with a huge smile on his face , Tommy looked at them turning away from the piano and more tears fell down his face
,,Tommy? whats wrong?" Phil asked worried and stood up walking to him before kneeing down to him ,putting a hand on Tommys cheek to wipe a tear away and Tommy slowly leaned in the touch
,,That was beautiful Tommy" Phil smiled at him and Tommy shock his head
,I ruined it with my voice!..' Tommy thought , he never like his voice since the car carsh had happened. Tommy remembers his Parents always saying his voice was pretty and nice to listen to but since they died he hated his voice and even after he knew he had gotten it back he never talked. He always heard his Parents in his head telling him to talk , and telling him that his voice is beautiful , it drove him crazy to hear them everytime before going to bed or when he would have the chance to talk and if he did talk it was only for a bit but nothing over two sentances.
He could talk if he wanted to but since the car accident he felt like his voice was bad and the reason for bad things happening.
