Unexpected Love

Two Different Lives

The next day, after game night, Ari's classes went by like a nightmare. Even though she woke up on time, which was the only plus of her day, her mother had been rushed to the hospital and her father yelled at her to go and have a normal day. Air's mother has cystic fibrosis, which is life-threatening disorder that damages the lungs and digestive system. But her mother's lungs are more damaged, her body is now rejecting the lung transplant that she got four months ago, the doctors did say that this cpuld be a possibility Ari and her father never thought it would happen. Ari's mother was getting worse and worse every day, looking even more sick day in and day out. The doctors aren't giving her much more time and Ari has no idea on how to deal with it. Her father stopped loving her and her mother seems to be the only one who does. Her father ignores her, like he;s ashamed

I really like Ari. Tobias thinks, I'd say love but it's way too early for that. Even though it feels like love, it can't be... Right? And besides, I don't even think she's all that into me like I'm into her. If only she knew that her smile lights up the whole room, her voice fills every soul near her, her beauty radiating so bright you can't help but stare... I wish I didn't have to beg Larry to tell me about her mother, if she'd talk to me about it I could help. I lost my sister to cystic fibrosis, may not be the same as it being her mother but still I could help... If only she'd let me in....

I really don't want to go into work and sing tonight, Ari mentally groans, I just want to take care of mom and go to bed. Even if dad doesn't want me around, I just don't understand why he blames me. It's not my fault at all, I didn't do anything, I couldn't have done anything at that. I would do anything to take mom's CF away. Well it's a long shot but maybe work will take my mind off it. Maybe I just need to escape...

Ari walks into the bar, sets up and gets on the stage, "Alright, we're going to do one song, then Larry's gonna put tonight's game on for y'all."

She looks so calm when she gets ready to sing, Tobias thinks, I wish I could get the courage to help her feel the same way all the time... If only I could ask her to be mine..

Ari sits on her stool, takes a deep breath, closes her eyes, and starts to sing.

It's what you do

It's what you see

I know if I'm haunting you

You must be haunting me

It's where we go

It's where we'll be

I know if I'm onto you

Onto you, you must be onto me

My haunted lungs

Ghost in the sheets

I know if I'm haunting you

You must be haunting me

My wicked tongue

Where will it be?

I know if I'm onto you, I'm onto you

Onto you

Onto you, you must be onto me

You want me?

I walk down the hallway

You're lucky

The bedroom's my runway

Slap me!

I'm pinned to the doorway

Kiss, bite, foreplay

My haunted lungs

Ghost in the sheets

I know if I'm haunting you

You must be haunting me

My wicked tongue

Where will it be?

I know if I'm onto you

You must be onto me

It's what we see

I know if I'm haunting you

You must be haunting me

It's where we go

It's where we'll be

I know if I'm onto you,

Onto you, you must be onto me

You must be onto me
