Get in the Rhythm {Book 1}

26.

We had finally gotten back to Avi's house and he was still in tears. I sat him down on his bed and wrapped into a hug. "I'm so sorry" He whispered.

"Sorry for what?" I questioned.

"I promised you a day out in Spain and now it's all ruined" He cried out.

"It's not your fault Avi..we can go out another time" I tried to listen the mood.

"Today was meant to be special" He spoke.

"Why was it meant to be special?" I asked with pure confusion.

"Iba a decirle cuánto te amo, Mitchell" He whispered. It's like he had the tendency to say things I didn't understand when I wanted to know what it meant the most. "It's not important" He continued to cry and I never left his side.

"Maybe we should get you some fresh air" We stood up and I took him to the garden and we sat down on a chair.

"M-Mitch?" He asked after a while.

"Hmm?"

"C-Could you sing to me? You told me you could and I still haven't heard your voice" He really did want me to sing for him.

"Sure...I guess" I cleared my throat.

There was a boy
A very strange enchanted boy
They say he wandered very far, very far
Over land and sea.

And then one day
A magic day he passed my way
And while we spoke of many things
Fools and kings
This he said to me.

The greatest thing you'll ever learn
Is just to love and be loved in return.

I finished. "Your voice amazing" Avi shouted excitedly. His mood had definitely gone up.

We were out there just taking in the view of the cliffs and the waves. I could understand why Avi would calm down out here. The air seemed purer and everything was very relaxing.

After about half an hour later Avi took a deep breath.

"I think.....I think I'm ready to tell you"

"Tell me what?"

"Everything."
