(1 Week Later)
It has been a week since I have been at the institute. I have bonded with everyone and I couldn't be more happier. I still have not told them about my past because I don't want them to pity or look at me any differently. Ugh...Anyway, sappy shit is all over right now we are all outside. I am with Spirit as he lays down in front of me and I am up against the tree with my guitar in hand. The guys are all either in the pound swimming or playing basketball.
"Spirit, ya wanna hear a song I have been workin' on?" I ask him to which he just neighs at me. I chuckle and nod. I begin playing my guitar catching everyone's attention as they come closer to listen and watch.
Everybody needs inspiration
Everybody needs a song
A beautiful melody
When the nights are long
'Cause there is no guarantee
That this life is easy
Yeah when my world is falling apart
When there's no light
To break up the dark
I look at everyone with a smile on my face as I sing. I look around to see them looking at me with an expression I haven't seen in so long....Love?
That's when I, I
I look at you
When the waves are flooding the shore
And I can't find my way home anymore
That's when I, I
I look at you
When I look at you
I see forgiveness
I see the truth
You love me for who I am
Like the stars hold the moon
Right there where they belong
And I know I'm not alone
Yeah when my world is falling apart
When there's no light
To break up the dark
That's when I, I
I look at you
When the waves are flooding the shore
And I can't find my way home anymore
That's when I, I
I look at you
You appear just like a dream to me
Just like kaleidoscope colors that cover me
All I need
Every breath that I breathe
Don't you know you're beautiful
Yeah, yeah, yeah
When the waves are flooding the shore
And I can't find my way home anymore
That's when I, I
I look at you
I look at you
Yeah,
Whoa-oh,
You appear just like a dream to me
Everyone begins clapping for me making a blush appear on my face. But all of a sudden I see out of the corner of my eyes Alistair and Cory coming up on both sides of me.
"What are you guys trying to do?" I ask setting my guitar on the ground and standing up. I then noticed it was a mistake seeing as they rushed over to me, picking me up and hawling me over to the lake where they threw me in.
"Ah!" I yell as I am thrown in. When I resurface I hear laughter. I turn around and stand up crossing my arms with a glare. Everyone seems to stop laughing and looks at me. I drop my hand confused until I remember I and in a white shirt with no bra...FUCK! I look down and see they can see everything. I clear my throat and begin walking out of the pond and towards the house. I go upstairs to my room to change into a bathing suit. This week I have been practicing loving my body scars or no scars. So I decided on my black bikini without putting on a foundation to hide everything. So my whole body scars and tattoos are on display. I take a shakey breath and walk back downstairs to the back where everyone else is.
