"GarGar?" My mother's voice said from the doorway of the guest bedroom.
"Yes?" I replied, not looking away from my computer screen.
"Well, there's a program on the television I thought you might want to see..."
"I don't care about Beyoncé, Mum," I answered, clicking a link on my laptop.
"It's not Beyoncé. It's... Aphmau."
I looked up and closed my laptop, "Very well."
Father and Vylad were already sitting in the corner, eyes focused on the television screen. The audio was trapping me once I stepped into the room. Thanks, Surround Sound.
I sat on the empty sofa, my eyes trained on what was happening.
Aphmau was pictured standing on a stage, smaller than the ones on the tour but enough for it be worthy on TV, a piano behind her. She spoke without much emotion, looking out at the crowd of people, "Thank you, Phoenix Drop, for an outstanding night. It's great to be home once more. But to finish the concert off, I wrote a song that's... special to me," she took a rough intake of air, "A month ago, my happiness was torn from me. Zianna, I hope you did your job well."
I looked at my mother and she smiled innocently, "Surprise...!"
"Garroth, I hope this song explains what I meant back then." She walked over to the piano behind her and put the mic into the stand, positioned in front of the seat. She sat down, and I could clearly see that she was waiting for this moment. (Play video - All credit goes to Little Mix)
We keep behind closed doors
Every time I see you, I die a little more
Stolen moments that we steal as the curtain falls
It'll never be enoughAs you drive me to my house
I can't stop these silent tears from rolling down
You and I both have to hide on the outside
Where I can't be yours and you can't be mineBut I know this, we got a love that is homeless
Why can't I hold you in the street?
Why can't I kiss you on the dance floor?
I wish that it could be like that
Why can't it be like that?
'Cause I'm yoursWhy can't I say that I'm in love?
I wanna shout it from the rooftops
I wish that it could be like that
Why can't it be like that?
'Cause I'm yoursIt's obvious you're meant for me
Every piece of you, it just fits perfectly
Every second, every thought, I'm in so deep
But I'll never show it on my faceBut we know this, we got a love that is hopeless
Why can't you hold me in the street?
Why can't I kiss you on the dance floor?
I wish that it could be like that
Why can't we be like that?
'Cause I'm yoursWhy can't I say that I'm in love?
I wanna shout it from the rooftops
I wish that it could be like that
Why can't we be like that?
'Cause I'm yoursI don't wanna live love this way
I don't wanna hide us away
I wonder if it ever will change
I'm living for that day, somedayWhen you hold me in the street
And you kiss me on the dance floor
I wish that we could be like that
Why can't we be like that?
'Cause I'm yours, I'm yoursWhy can't you hold me in the street?
Why can't I kiss you on the dance floor?
I wish that it could be like that
Why can't it be like that?
'Cause I'm yoursWhy can't I say that I'm in love?
I wanna shout it from the rooftops
I wish that it could be like that
Why can't we be like that?
'Cause I'm yoursWhy can't we be like that?
Wish we could be like that"Please, Garroth, come home..."
