Practice, practice, practice. Thats all we do. 

"Shit!" Sunny yells. Hero walks into the room.
"Hey, Little guy, you okay?"
I don't speak.
"...Okay.. well.. Try not to break anything." He chuckled akwardly.

Break anything? Its not like I have anger issues or something.. 

I stomp on the floor, then fall onto my bed. I sigh.
"Okay. I'll just practice tomorrow."

I'm back here in my piano room again. I can't mess this up. 

As peaceful as this song is, It's irritating me. Just to learn these few notes? There's probably something wrong with me. Or my memory. I just. cant. memorize. it.

"Mm.. okay. I got this." I play the song perfectly. every bit of my fingertip plays the sound. The sound of perfection. The sound of the final song. The duet. The final duet.

I hear applause.
"That was amazing, Mari. You and sunny are gonna do absolutely amazing."

My face heats up. "Aww, thank you."
"I made you a snack." He hands me a Peanut butter and Jelly sandwich.
I smile. "You didn't have to, but thank you, Hero."


The final song. The duet. The final duet.  -The story of mari's deathWhere stories live. Discover now
