Music Is My Romance

Chapter Five: I'm Still Here

My mother has passed. She passed away while she was sleeping so I guess she didn't suffer and she gets to see dad again so she doesn't have to go through the pain of missing him anymore.. But the only thing is that I have nobody now. My family disowned my mother so the only one that actually could watch over me is the maid. And I've been miserable. I need to lean on somebody.. I'm sick and tired of being strong. I honestly haven't cried since mom's passing because I'm so use to being strong. I just guess I lost my heart and became cold.

"Caroline dear, please come out of your room. Atleast talk to me!" Elizabeth, my maid, said knocking on my door.

"I will later Lizzy. I think it's time to talk to Jace" I Said.

"Mr. Williams?" Elizabeth asked.

"Yes. I need to get some stuff off my chest." I replied opening my door.

"Then do what the heart wants, Miss Caroline" She said with a smile.

"Please call me Carrie.. " I said trying not to sound rude.

"Okay Carrie.. promise to talk to me later okay?" She asked.

Man, does this woman ever stop asking questions?! Carrie! Stop being rude. I seriously need to stop talking to myself in third person.. it's just weird.

"I will Lizzy, now I must go see Jace" I said running into the elevator.

On the way up to Jace's penthouse I thought of several things to say to him. But of course none of those things were said because as soon as the elevator door opened there he stood, and there I stood. He looked suprised. And well of course I broke out into tears.

"Carrie...?" He questioned.

"Mom's gone.. and I'm still here Jace!" I sobbed.

"Carrie, calm down and come inside." he said grabbing my hand and leading me to the couch.

"It's my fault Jace, if I wouldn't of wrecked she still would be here." I said wiping my eyes.

"It isn't your fault!" he said sitting by me. "So stop worrying." He added on and held me.

"Thank you.." I say muffled into his shirt.

"And Carebear..." He Said.

"Carebear? And yeah?" I look up at him.

"I never meant to hurt you. Ash was my girlfriend for popularity. I Didn't mean anything that I said, If anybody doesn't deserve someone it's me, I don't deserve you Carrie." He said looking me in the eyes.

"I-- I don't know what to say..." I dart my eyes down, I can't look him in the eyes.

"Then don't say anything, just sit here with me, like this." He said into my neck.

We sat like that for a good half an hour. He was comforting and he was the only one I could lean on.

"Jace?" I whispered.

"Hmm?" He asked half asleep.

"That song, on the radio. It's yours isn't it?" I asked

"Yeah. How'd you know?" He looks down at me.

"Your brother accidentally slipped" I said followed by a giggle.

"Oh..so do you like my music?" He asked with a smile on his face.

"I don't like it." I said with a smile.

"Oh.. I thought you of all people would like it." He said with a slight frown.

"I love it." I smiled.

"I guess I'll just change the whole song for you! If you don't like it." he paused. "Wait...you love it?" He asked with that shade of red upon his face that I ramble on about and his arm behind his head to show he's embarrassed.

"I do. And red really is a good color on you" I tease.

"That's sunburn! Yeah for some reason my lights in my penthouse are too hot and burn me. Yep that's what it is!" He lied.

"Really that's too bad, because it would be cute if you were blushing." I giggled.

" No wait! I'm cute I am! I'm blushing!" He protested.

"Soo, you're not burnt?" I asked.

"No.. " He looked guilty.

"Glad you admit it!" I giggle.

"Glad you think it's cute" He said followed by a wink. I then smiled and kissed his cheek and he looked taken back.

"You missed" He said and pointed to his lips.

"In your dreams, pretty boy!" I teased.

"So you admit that I'm pretty?" He laughed. I just mentally hit myself because I walked into that.

So my evening with Jace was great. I finally got to let go and cry. I even got back on good terms with him! Life might just be getting better..
