Slow fade

11

Bill and Tom were gone when I woke up because apparently they had a meeting with their band. I never listened to their music or even knew what the bands name was but apparently they were pretty big.

I walked down into the kitchen to grab something to eat. I wasn't extremely hungry so I just grabbed an apple and but into it. All night I was thinking of what I wanted to do with my life. I had it narrowed down to a few options but I knew music would always have a special place in my heart.

When I was younger I use to write music but I don't think performing was something I wanted to do. I was more interested in the writing and playing aspect of it. I was eating my apple when I saw that there was a piano in the corner of the living room.

I sat down at the piano and looked at the music set up and gave it a look. They had a song written on it but it didn't have lyrics or a title yet. I looked at what they had done with the other instruments and played them in my head.

From a young age my mom taught me how to play and write. It was our thing and I think that's why it meant so much to me. I placed my hands on the piano and imagined how the other Instruments would sound and let my fingers play. I pulled out a blank sheet of paper and wrote the piano notes down.

I knew the boys would never use them but it was a nice feeling to get back into doing something that brought me joy. I finished the pink part of the song and I felt accomplished of myself.

Even though I had finished with the song I continued to play a little bit. I pulled out my notebook and placed it onto the piano and started to play what I had written a while ago.

When my mom died my dad sold all of my instruments to make money to feed his addictions. I was devastated when I came home from school to see all of them gone.

I wrote this song with my mom a year before she died. She was so talented when it came to music and she taught me everything I knew.

Once I felt comfortable I put my hands on the keys and started to play them. It sounded really good for not having played for years. The song was halfway done when I heard a door close behind me. I slowly turned around to see the four boys behind me looking at me. Bill, Gustav, and Georg were smiling at me but Tom just walked to his room.

" Presley that was so pretty what song is that and who wrote it?" Asked bill

" yea I've never heard it but I would love to listen to it."georg said.

I was embarrassed to know that they had heard such a private and intimate moment that I heard dearly to my heart. No one was suppose to ever hear this it was only for my mom and me.

" I'm not sure who wrote it I bought this book years ago and always enjoyed it."

They shook their heads understanding what I said. I was so glad they believed my lie.

" I didn't know you could play though."Bill said approaching the piano.

" I know how to play a lot but it's not something I see myself doing I just like to do it for fun is all."

" I get it not everyone likes to perform."

Georg and Gustav sat on the couch and joined us in the living room. Tom eventually came down and sat down in a chair near georg and Gustav.

" bill I saw you had a song here and I know it's not my place but I read over it and it was really good I think it will be a big hit. I also added a piano part just for fun. I hope that's ok."

Bill saw the paper that I written on and looked at it. He placed his hands on the piano and played it. I guess he liked it because he looked at me and smiled.

" it adds so much to the song. I think we might just add it if that's ok with you since you did write it."

" of course I'll help in anyway possible."

As time has gone on with me getting to know bill and opening up our friendship has really grown. I'm still not sure about georg and Gustav but I've already got it that Tom will never like me.

I liked bill he was kind and down to earth and he's proven that to me even though I haven't known him very long. I never thought I'd say this but it felt nice knowing that I had a friend.
