Cheriam ~ Never Enough

2

Today was just another day of school and just as I got here I found out my first lesson was cancelled... Great.. That meant 1 hour of doing nothing as it was no idea to go home in that time as I would have to drive back almost as soon as I got home. Neither of my friends Niall or Harry was here yet either. They had somehow found out earlier this morning that the lesson would be cancelled, but just forgot to tell me.

As I didn't really have anything to do, I decided to go outside to study for a while. I went over to my locker and picked out a couple of my text books before I went outside to my secret little hide away behind the school to sit down in the shadows on the grass, just next to a huge oak tree. That was the place where I usually hung out when I had some spare time in school. It was very well hidden and you had to go behind the bushes on the back of the school to get there. No one ever went back here so therefor I liked it even more. It was so quiet and calm. Plus I didn't have to worry about anything or anyone, like Zayn finding me for example.

As I had checked that no one was around, I started singing quietly to myself. I've always loved to sing and I actually write some music as well, only for myself though. I've never showed them to anyone before as I'm not really confident enough to do that yet. I don't really sing in front of people either, except for my family and closest friends. I always like to sing to myself though, when no one else is around.

I started singing the song 'Broken Strings' by James Morrison. I really loved singing that song. It fit my voice really well and I just had a really special connection to it, if you get what I mean.

'Let me hold you for the last time
It's the last chance to feel again
But you broke me, now I can't feel anything
When I love you it's so untrue
I can't even convince myself
When I'm speaking it's the voice of someone else'

'Oh, it tears me up
I tried to hold on but it hurts too much
I tried to forgive but it's not enough
To make it all okay
You can't play on broken strings
You can't feel anything
That your heart don't want to feel
I can't tell you something that ain't real'

'Oh, the truth hurts and lies worse
How can I give anymore
When I love you a little less than before?'

As I sang that part I could hear someone else starting to sing with me. I quickly turned around and shockingly saw Cheryl standing there, singing with me. She really scared me to be honest as I though no one else knew about this place. So many thoughts went through my mind at that moment. What was she doing here? And why was she singing with me? She has never even had a real conversation with me before and now she was all of a sudden singing along with me. I stopped singing as soon as I saw her, but she kept going and motioned for me to start joining her again. I wasn't too sure since I'm not very confident in my singing, but I eventually started singing again. I just couldn't resist it. Singing with her was just too irresistible. She had such an amazing voice and our voices surprisingly sounded very well together.

'But we're running through the fire
When there's nothing left to save
It's like chasing the very last train
When we both know it's too late, too late'

'You can't play on broken strings
You can't feel anything
That your heart don't want to feel
I can't tell you something that ain't real'

'Oh, the truth hurts and lies worse
So how can I give anymore
When I love you a little less than before?
Oh, you know that I love you a little less than before'
