Did You Forget?

Writing the song

Violetta's POV
"So, have you got any ideas?"
Leon sat at the table in his room, a blank sheet of paper in front of him. We decided to start working on the assignment and, despite my many excuses, we ended up going to Leon's house. Luckily his parents weren't home. Oh um.., that sounds wrong doesn't it? I just mean that it would be very uncomfortable to have to work with Mrs Vargas staring at us all the time.
"Well I've got some unfinished songs in here. Maybe we could adapt one?" I said, looking through my songwriting folder.
"Yeah, that could work. Can I have a look?" He asked and I suddenly blushed.
Some of the songs in there were quite personal. Some were even about him. Not that he would realize...
I handed it over hesitantly.
He picked out a sheet and looked at it.
"This could work. If we speed it up and change the rhythm. And add some more verses of course."
I looked to see which song he had chosen. I bit my lip so hard that I'm pretty sure I almost drew blood.
Find more tears. Really? He just had to choose that one?
"It's really good! Did you write this?" He asked me.
No, you did. You just don't remember.
"No actually, a friend wrote a bit of it but said I could have it. He didn't have time to finish it." I lied. Well...I guess it's not completely a lie. That kinda did happen but it felt like a lie by not telling him that it was his song.
"Well...should we use it? I think we could write more." He asked, grinning.
"Yeah...sure" I said, managing a small smile.
(Flashback)
I opened up my locker to get my books when a note flew out, landing gracefully on floor. Picking it up, I read what it said.
Meet me in the music room
-L
I grinned and made my way here as fast as I could. A melody floated through the door and I found myself rushing in.
Leon smiled at me, his hands resting on the keyboard.
"That was amazing! Did you call me here to show it to me?" I asked up.
His cheeks turned slightly red. He looked so adorable that I'm pretty sure I melted slightly.
"Umm...kind of?"
"Kind of?" I asked, an eyebrow raised
"Well it mostly to show you...and also to..um..never mind. Yeah, I called you here to show you the song" he said finally, with what seemed like feigned confidence.
"Well...let's hear it! I didn't get to hear the lyrics!"
His fingers moved up and down the keyboard, each note perfectly on time.

Sometimes I feel like there is no one who sees me
No one is there who knows what's needed to please me
But then maybe, maybe that one could be you

I gotta find one who can see me
The one who knows, knows how to please me
But then maybe, maybe that one could be you

I long to see your face
You tell me it's best to give you space
And now I cannot even hear your voice
Now the problem that I face
Find more tears for you

I only see your face
Time will not allow it to erase
I crave the time when you and I embrace

Now the problem that I face
Find more tears, find more tears
Find more tears, find more tears

"That's all I could come up with." He said sheepishly
It was a beautiful song and I couldn't help wondering how he came up with it.
"It's amazing Leon! How did you come up with something like that?"
He stepped away from the keyboard and made his way towards me.
"Well...I.um wrote it about someone"
He was now standing close to me. VERY close...
"Oh..s..someone? Who?" I asked and immediately regretted it afterwards. What if it's some other girl. What if he has a girlfriend and he's choosing this moment to tell me. What if...
"I wrote it about you" he said, cutting off my thoughts.
I almost let out a sigh of relief. He didn't write it about another girl.

It took a while for me to finally realize what that meant.
HE WROTE A SONG ABOUT ME.
I looked up at him, eyes wide.
"Took you long enough to figure it out" he said, chuckling nervously.
"I really like you Vilu"
I saw his eyes ever so slightly look down at my lips and as he leaned in, I found myself doing the same thing. Our lips brushed against each other and before I could process what was happening, my arms wrapped around his neck, pulling him closer. Suddenly the bell rang and we sprang apart from each other as the loud ringing noise penetrated our ears.
" I really like you too" I said, a small giggle escaping my lips.
He smiled down at me and took my hand as we made we our way to English, walking in a comfortable silence. Everyone says you never forget your first kiss and I know that this one is going to stay in my mind for a very long time.
(End of flashback)
"Violetta?"
Leon's voice brought me out of my thoughts.
"Yeah? Sorry I was distracted."
"I've had a look at the notes and I think I figured out how to play it. Do you want to go over what there is so far?"
I nodded and stood opposite the keyboard Leon was now at.
He started singing and I had to force myself to hold back tears. It sounded exactly like it did when he played it that time in the music room. He may have lost his memories but Leon definitely didn't lose his talent. As he sang, I marveled at how much his voice had matured over the years. It was stronger and more confident. He signaled for me to join in.
When we finished the song, he beamed.
"Yep. I definitely think that we should use this one" he said and I agreed. No matter how hard it was going to be for me to listen to this song, I knew it would get us a good grade.
As he started to gently go over the notes again, I saw a frown appear on his face and for a second, his eyes pinched shut and his jaw clenched.
"Are you okay?" I asked worriedly
He open his eyes and gave me what seemed to be a shadow of a smile.
"Yeah, I guess I just got a bit dizzy for a while"
I wasn't completely convinced but I let it slide and we carried on working.

Leon's POV
After Violetta left, I went back up to my room and sat down. My mind drifted back to what had happened a while ago. When I was playing the song, something just didn't seem right. And then when I closed my eyes, I saw a blank face. I couldn't tell who's it was but it was definitely a face.
"Leon, your officially going crazy" I muttered to myself.
