Midnight Music

Chapter 2 + Note

Dear Readers;

I just want you to know that while I understand that 'Voting' is easier and gets the message across quicker, I like comments. I want to know what you think, even if it's just tips or something about how this book sucks. (Don't lie, I know you think that.)

I'm a terrible person who doesn't update normally. I am sorry for all my flaws, no one is perfect. I will try my best in the future, but it would help me amazingly if I could get some feedback. For example, "Hey, I like it. Update!". Seriously, you could put a smiley face on there if you wanted.

Begging, my dears, is what I am resorting too. Besides, if you want me to update, a little encouragement is needed on my part.

Sincerely, Emma

PS: Should I just call my Prologue, Chapter 1? Sorry about grammar and spelling mistakes, haven't checked it yet.

Chapter 2

I woke up in my bed to hear a strange sound. It's the music again. I got out of bed cause I knew that I wouldn't sleep now. Looking down, there was a piece of paper with writing on it.

Anna, Scotty came over but I told him that you fell asleep. I'm sorry about what happened earlier. I love you, but I can't do it anymore. I'm not as strong as you. Leaving was the best option for me.

We will see each other again in the future. For now, I need space and a fresh start. I will contact you in a few weeks or so.

Love, Will

So, this was it. He said he wouldn't go! I knotted my hands into my hair and pulled harshly, crying out loudly. Thank God I have soundproof walls.

I was still sobbing ten minutes later, my thoughts consuming me. Then I remembered the music. I had to check it out, it couldn't be Scotty. I may be a complete lunatic, but I'm not...nope, never mind. I am crazy. But, never the less, I must put my mind at ease to some degree.

I put a light jacket on and walked down the steps. When I reached the bottom, I could still hear the music playing. Walking close behind the piano, I saw a shadow moving slightly. Me being me, I forgot my glasses, so my vision was blurry. It was a man though, I could tell by the stature and his stance.

There was a noise behind me and I almost screamed when Jacob touched my hip and the light turned on.

"Jacob! What are you doing up so late? You should be in bed, sleeping." I momentarily forgot everything else.

"I'm sorry. But, I got thirsty and wanted a drink." He pouted his lip and his bright blue puppy dog eyes hit mine.

Turning back around quickly when I remembered the man, he was gone...and so was the music. I shook my head and looked around quickly for confirmation.

"It's okay, get a drink and go back upstairs to bed though." Those eyes will always get me.

His face brightened up. "Okay! Goodnight."

"Night sweetie." I kissed his forehead and watched while he went into the kitchen.

I waited till Jacob went back up before I let my mind wander. I wish Scotty was here, he could calm me down and help me sleep. I need to hangout with him more though. Everything has been weighing me down, brick by brick. I knew that one day I would just fall and it would get worse.

I looked back around for the man, but I of course couldn't find him. Telling someone isn't an option, people would say that I'm crazy. My life, my family, even though it's a total mess, this would completely destroy whatever we have left. This would be my secret and mine alone.
