Right From The Start {Book 3}

Fighting for What?

"Thank you again Violetta. For everything you've taught me, I really appreciate it." [Alex]

"Of course, you are very talented." [Vilu]

While he is picking up his notebooks behind was the sheet music Vilu used to write Carry My Heart. Noticing the lyrics Alex took into interest.

"Is this a new song you are composing?" [Alex]

"Yes. It's the one that will be featured in the band's DVD." [Vilu]

"So that means I will be seeing you there?" [Alex]

"Wait, did the guys ask for you to be in it?" [Vilu]

"Yup. Thanks for the temporary fill in everyone thinks I have skill. On the plus side, showing new vocals will be good for the public to see of the studio." [Alex]

"Well then I am happy for you." [Vilu]

"Too bad one person won't be happy seeing us there. By the way, how well are you working with Leon?" [Alex]

Vilu quirks her head in Alex's direction.

"I'm not working with." [Vilu]

Furrowing his eyebrows in confusion.

"But you are working on the DVD together, no?" [Alex]

"I am only composing the song. Melanie is going to sing it on the set." [Vilu]

"Trying to not cross paths with Leon.?" [Alex]

In short and quick movements Violetta stands and begins pacing around.

"Not solely that, I feel me being there will only bring a toxic environment. Being the first step into the band's career I don't want to mess that up." [Vilu]

"You being there could never mess that up. If anything it will make the DVD even better." [Alex]

He meets her in the middle of the entrance hallway grabbing both arms in comfort. A fresh sign of light pink blush rises to her cheeks.

"Thank you, but it's their big day. Even if I don't ruin it I still don't want to be around Leon. Every time I see him or try and talk I just get reminded of what we once had to what we now are. It's too painful to be around someone you know well for so long and are acting like total strangers." [Vilu]

"Weren't you the one to tell me that on whatever stage or set, your passion for music can never be broken. Reading those lyrics its clear that your heart is still in sync. Melanie cannot sing that song with the amount of passion and emotion like you could." [Alex]

"It's getting late. See you tomorrow?" [Vilu]

"Yes." [Alex]

To be as simple as that Alex grabs his bags and leaves to his own home. While Violetta heads up stairs to get into her pajamas and think about whether going to the DVD set with everyone else is something she should do.

Right before the studio closed Diego finds Gregorio in the teacher's lounge still managing paperwork.

"Dad..." [Diego]

He knocks on the door looking for approval.

"Diego, I am almost finish with this file. Then we can get going." [Gregorio]

"Can we talk? About what happened earlier today?" [Diego]

Exhaling loudly and removing his glasses in a reckless manner.

"It's been a long day Diego. I want to lock up and head home." [Gregorio]

"Please, I want to understand what you have against us being in the band's DVD." [Diego]
