Vicious Love

Chapter 5

I woke up feeling happier than I ever had in a while. For most of last year, I was heavily depressed and rarely left my room except to go to class. My life started to pick up around the time I sat down at a piano. Something about that particular instrument soothes me. Gabe won't let me have one in the apartment so Mrs. Edwards gave me a spare key.

Today, I decided to head down there and work on a new song. "Gabe, I'm heading out." I called. He mumbled back something incoherent and Tay was passed out in the spare bedroom. I grabbed everything I needed and walked to campus.

It was a lovely fall day as the trees were beginning to change colors. I always loved fall, it brought a lot of great things. Halloween is my favorite holiday so I always get super excited around fall time. When I snapped out of my thoughts I realized I was in front of the music building. I unlocked the door and then went into the piano room.

I pulled out my song writing notebook and set it on the music stand. I began to sing while playing the baby grand piano. Is it naive to make plans that seem so far away?

There's a reason I feel this way,

You're sleeping alone,

(You're alone)

I'm awake

When you dream of me tonight, am I close to where you are?

(To where you are?)

Lay me down,

And tell me everything will be alright,

(Things will be alright)

Things will be alright

(Things will be alright)

Lay me down,

And tell me everything will be alright,

(Things will be alright)

Things will be alright

(Could)

This could mean everything or nothing at all

(All)

You take what is real (all, all)

I'll give you my all

I felt very confident in what I had so far and I played through it again. I really liked it and decided to name it "Let Love Bleed Red".

"That's a nice song. Did you write that?" I turned around to see Vic siting in a chair with his eyes closed. I jumped five feet in the air before realizing it was my boyfriend. "Yeah, sorry you scared me." Vic smirked and walked over to me.

"Well it was beautiful. Good Morning boyfriend." He said while kissing me quickly in case people were lurking around the halls. I don't think I would ever grow tired of hearing him say that. "Good morning babe." I said back. He blushed.

"So how did you find me?" I asked him curiously. He giggled. Yes, giggled. Vic Fuentes giggled. "Kells, you were kind of singing really loudly." My eyes widened. I didn't think anyone could hear me. I was truly embarrassed at the moment.

"I never meant to...." I trailed off. Vic shrugged. "Who cares? The world needs to hear my boyfriend's beautiful voice." I smiled at him. "Do you have any classes today?" I asked. I honestly just wanted to have a lazy day with him.

"Nope." He said. I grabbed his hand and pulled him up. "Lazy day, let's go." As we walked into the courtyard, we were stopped by two people making out.
