I Found The Music In You (M2M)

Intro

When the world is pushing and pulling you, feel free to escape its grasps

--------------------------------------------------

There was a time I was happy with my life. All the people running into me, praises and chants. But for some reason I can't hear them all. They all seem so empty...

I was at a town plaza today. Everyone is calling my name. All of them waiting for me to sing. But there's a very strange feeling inside my chest and it's making me feel something is wrong.

I stepped on the stage with the usual smile plastered over my face as if I'm smiling just for the heck of it, and started to sing. The crowd started going wild, especially the girls who are all drooling over while reaching out to me as if I'm some kind of god that came down from the sky.

It was a Sunday and there are sure that many people in the plaza today, not only because its a weekend but because tomorrow is the start of a new school year for most of the students who were either partying or chilling off.

A few minutes later, I have finished my song. Once again, everyone was screaming my name. I can see all of the faces of my fans smiling, yet I cannot feel the same for them. At least I can give them this fake smile as I waved my hands and said my thanks to them.

It was during this last performance that I realized that I have to tell Dad about what's been bothering me for the longest time now...

Back at the record label Strings and Vinyl, I made my way up to his office - with each step heavier than the last. I somehow knew how this will turn out, and its not going to be good. The moment I arrived at his office door, I tried to distract myself by looking at the carvings on the block of mahogany that's standing between me and my father. I hesitantly knocked on the door, and then heard my father answer from inside, "Come in".

I slowly opened the remaining barrier, not before taking a deep breath before stepping in. Inside I saw my dad typing away at his desk that was currently flooded with posters for my upcoming tour across the country.

"Oh, Alex! Didn't expect you to be still here! How was your gig at the plaza today?" He half-cherrfully, half-lazily asked with his eyes going back at his computer.

"Dad, I need to tell you something..." I quietly muttered it almost sounded like a question.

My father then stopped typing and lounged back to his chair, eyeing me from head to toe.

"Is there a problem my son? Did something happen at the concert today?"

"No! It's not about the concert. It's about me..." Trailing off, which then made him a bit confused.

After a moment of silence, I breathed in and said what I wanted to say...

"Dad, I'm gay - and I don't want to go on tour anymore..."

It took him a few minutes to digest what I said. He then stood up, walked up to me, and looked in the eyes blankly.

"I know...and whether you like it or not, you will go on tour because you're gonna make money for me, and this company. Understood?"

Tears started to well up my eyes, but I knew that in order for me to get what I want, I have to be strong. I've already played this scene on my mind a thousand times, and I plan not let this man take over me like I'm his possession.

"NO! I WILL NOT GO!" I said straight to his face as loud as I possibly can. That took him by surprise, as he stepped back.

I turned away and was about to walk out when my dad grabbed my arm and turned me around to face him again.

"YOU GOOD FOR NOTHING FAG! HOW DARE YOU TALK TO YOUR FATHER LIKE THAT? IF YOU REALLY WANT OUT OF THIS, DO IT. JUST REMEMBER THE MOMENT YOU STEPPED OUT OF THIS OFFICE, YOU'RE GOOD AS DEAD TO ME!" My dad said back. I almost lost my balance, but was able to stay still. I needed to be strong - strong enough to get away from this monster.

In one sweep, I took his hand away from my arm and hurried across his office towards the door. I don't know what will happen to me once I'm out of this office. But I feel this is what I longed for.
