I sit at the grand piano and play the notes to all of me. When I play the piano I know for some odd fact that with all the shit from my past I can smile. In my head I'm singing this on a grand stage and playing note by note. As I'm playing I hear a lovely violin come in and match perfectly with the melody I've created
"What will I do with out your smart mouth. Drawing me in and you kicking me out. Got my head spinning no kinda I can't pen you down. What's going on in that beautiful mind. I'm on your magical history ride, and I'm so dizzy don't know what hit me, but I'll be all right. My heads under water but I'm breathing fine. Your crazy and I'm out of my mind,"Tyler sang playing his black violin to the melody of the piano in harmony with beat I have created.
'Your good. Not only can you play, but sing. Amazing," I signed a little shocked. He laughed and smiled at me and rolled his eyes.
"Of course, if I wasn't then I wouldn't be here, am I right," he laughed. There was a knock at the door and Tyler looked at me confused and walked towards the door and opened it. Behind the door was that one guy from yesterday with the glared and another with shaggy black hair and brown eyes with a teal t shirt and black pants and black and white polo shoes. He looks cool, I guess.
"Hey freshman, my name is Christian Gardener and this is Ryder Tinson, and we're this floors mangers if you need anything were right down the hall in room 450. All of the floors are doing games down stairs and we were wondering if you would like to come," Christian asked happily. I saw this Ryder guy roll his own eyes like me. I was about to start signing when......
"Of course we would!" Tyler exclaimed so happy. I rolled my eyes once more and he turned around and faced me with this happy expression. "Come on let's go, yeah." I looked at him and sighed and just nodded my head. Tyler smiled and ran out the door dragging Ryder with him. I sighed once more and looked at the piano and slowly got up.
"Do you like the piano?" Christian asked watching me move about. I walked toward him and nodded my head. "Cool. You know not that many people play such a beautiful thing." I nodded my head and we walked out of my room and closed the door. Most of the walk was silent until I guess he wanted to know something. He slowly raised his hands and hesitantly signed 'are you die' I laughed at the fact that he signed die instead of death. He looked at me nervously and I just signed 'I am not I can't talk' and left it at that. By this time a noise of knowing came out and loud music filled my ears. A bunch of teenage guys listening to music and meeting each other. I hate when I have to go to one of these meet and greet things. I scanned the room and found a ground piano. I dash towards it and sit down. Everyone here had their own instrument , so I sat where I feel the safest near the piano. As I sit here no one talks to me just look and walk away. Lonely it's a cruel thing to bear. As I go deeper and deeper into my depressing thoughts I feel a hand land one my shoulder. I turned around and saw Christian standing there smiling down at me.
"May I sit here," he asked laughing a bit. I looked at him and looked back at the crowd and nodded my head. He sat down next to me and looked at the keys. "There is a lot of keys did you memorized every key." I nodded my head and turned to face the keys. "Wow that's amazing, you must be really something." Without me knowing I smiled to myself.
"There you go a smile, beautiful," he smiled happily playing one of the keys and then smiled at me. I looked down at the keys and just blushed a little until that went away.
'Thank you,' I signed a little happy. He played another and I found out what he was trying to play I'm Still Standing by Elton John. I decided to play to and we both were hitting the keys ans without us knowing everyone stopped and started to listen to us as Christian started sing.
"You could never know what's it like. Your blood like winter freezes just like ice. And there's a cold lonely light that shines from you. You'll wind up like the wreck you hide behind the mask you use. And did you think this fool could never. Well look at me, I'm coming back again. I got a taste of love in a simple way. And if you need to know while I'm still standing you just fade away. Don't you know I'm still standing better than I ever did. Looking like a true survivor, feeling like a little kid. I'm still standing after all this time. Picking up the pieces from my life without you on my mind. I'm still standing yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm still standing yeah, yeah, yeah." Christian sang so proud and full life. This is the first time I ever heard a song played with so much life. You can hear everyone in the room going along with it. The feeling joy,laughter, happiness filled the air you can always drown in it. Never once in my life have I ever felt this warmth and like I wasn't alone. When we were done everyone clapped and cheered. Christian took my hand and made me stand up with him and bow. I will never forget this feeling so long I live. The feeling of love and belonging.
