Take A Chance

Chapter 17

*Embers Pov*

His voice was so soft when he sang. But I know that I can't let anything happen. Imagine what people would say.

"It's not a secret I try to hide. I know you want me, so don't keep saying our hands are tied."

As he sang I walked away from him but he kept following me. I can't let this go on any further. I walk up to him while he's singing.

"You claim it's not in the cards but faith is pulling you miles away and out of reach from me. But you're here in my heart so who can stop me if I decide that your my destiny."

I quickly walk away from him again,rope in hand. He pulls me to face him.

"What if we rewrite the stars? Say you were mad to me mine nothing could keep us apart. You'd be the one I was meant to find."

I try to say something but he just keeps on singing. I feel like we are in a musical.

" It's up to you and it's up to me. No one can say what we get to be. So why don't we rewrite the stars? Maybe the world could be ours, tonight."

As he was singing I was pulling the rope down so the sandbag would go up. Then once he stopped singing I let go of a tight grip on the rope and held a light grip instead. The rope pulled me up into the air leaving Phillip down below on the ground. I tie myself securely to the rope while Phillip is looking for me in the air. I see the hoop on the hook at the balcony. So I reach over and grab the hoop and tie it onto the end of the rope.

"You think it's easy? You think I don't want to run to you?"

I sing,as I am being lowered slowly,holding onto my hoop.
Once I reach the ground Phillip grabs the hoop to stop me from going anywhere. I start doing tricks on my hoop swerving myself in and out of Phillips grip.

"But there are mountains, and there are doors that we can't walk through.
I know your wondering why because we're able to be just you and me within these walls."

As I sing this as I flip myself upside down on the hoop holding on to the top of it with the inside of my knees.

"But when we go outside your gonna wakeup and see that it was hopeless after all....."

Then my hoops starts to lift back in the air, bringing Phillip up with me while he is hanging on by one hand. It gets to high for him and he let's go. For a second my heart practically punches me in the chest but then he lands fine. I climb up the hoop so now I am on the rope. I quickly untie the hoop and throw it back over to the balcony.

"No one can rewrite the stars. How can you say you'll be mine?"

I started wrapping and twisting myself around the rope,Phillip stating up at me while I do this. I noticed that the rope I was swinging on was actually two ropes twisted together.

"Everything keeps us apart and I'm  not the one you were meant to find. It's not up to you, it's not up to me. When everyone tells us what we can be."

I wrapped the rope around my waist and started spinning down.

"How can we rewrite the stars? Say that the world to be ours,tonight."

Once I had spun down to the bottom Phillip caught me bridal style and spun me around. Then together we sing " All I want is to fly with you." Then Phillip grabs onto the rope as it yanks up and grabs me by the waist to lift me up with him. "All I want is to fall with you!" When we sing this I spin out of his grip,Phillip still holding onto my hand and stopping me from falling. I pull him down onto the ground and we sing "So just give me all of you!"

"It feels impossible! Its not impossible! Is it impossible? Say that it's possible."

As we sing this I untwine the two ropes and we both grab onto one. We run away from each other and kick back grabbing each other by the waist,heads together and started spinning while singing a long note. Once Phillip landed his feet on the ground he left to of me and sent me spinning through the air.

"How do we rewrite the stars? Say you were made to be mine? Nothing can keep us apart, Cause you are the one I was meant to find. Its up to you and it's up to me, No one can say what we get to be. And why don't we rewrite the stars? Changing the world to be ours."

We were spinning around the room

As we landed I remembered that I could put him in great danger.
"You know I want you. It's not a secret I try to hide. But I cant have you. We're bound to break and my hands are tied..."

With this I walk away leaving Phillip watching me as I walked away. I was exhausted from all that swinging around in the air. My heart was also exhausted from doing this once again to Phillip.

*Phillip's pov*

She walked away clearly hurting herself by walking away from me. 'Why won't she let us happen? Did I do something wrong?' I thought this to myself for the rest of the night. I walked away from the ring five minutes after Ember left. I walked up to the office and lit two candles,making the room a bit brighter.

  Finally I fell asleep in Mr Barnum's office. I dreamt that night about how I was able to hang off the ropes and swing around. But I got awoken by a house huge crash and a scream. The scream was Ember. The crash was Ember. The ropes that fell down was Ember. Ember was the one on the ground,lying there unconscious. I could see a man standing behind a pillar,out of her sight as to not be seen."It can't be..." I say to myself. This is bad. Really bad.

*Ember's Pov*

As I am sitting up on my hoop I can see Phillip up in Mr Barnum's office, lighting two candles. I could tell by the way he was sitting five minutes later that he was asleep. I hate myself for doing this to him. But I will do what has to be done. Then all of a sudden I hear the sound of a knife cutting a rope in one slash. Then I feel the ground coming closer and closer and closer. I just think of who I loved most. Phillip,the circus crew and my haystack of a bed. Then something breaks my fall. At first I thought it was a person but then I looked around to see that no one was there. I felt something really hard hit my head and then my vision went black.

Hey guys! Just wanted to say that sorry this chapter took literally five years to publish but I kept having the problems. Good news is, first of all I will be publishing as much as possible and second of all the country I live in placed in the Eurovision today for the first time in like 3-4 years, but we are on a streak of having the most wins in the competition ever leading up to seven wins in total!

Sorry about that rant I am just so excited!

Luv ya x
