It's the fucking apocalypse, I have survived countless hoards of walkers, groups of raiders, being shot on numerous occasions, this should be simple. I unclenched my fists and took a deep breath of the air. My eyes scanned the courtyard and I saw Ruby and Aasim down by the gate. I stood up and cracked my knuckles, it helped relax me. I walked across the yard, my boots clicking against the stone pallets.

Before I could get over to them, they began to walk to the main building of the Ericson school. I sighed and turned back around. I've been here about a week and a half and haven't really connected with anyone. If I planned on staying here I had to get to know the people that my life could potentially be resting in. I sat down beside the wall and began to pull up the weeds that were growing. 

I heard footsteps and looked up. It was Louis. He was the only one I really could hold a conversation with so far. He was slightly taller than me and wore a long trench coat type thing. His hair was dark dreads, and pretty damn long. He sat down beside me and smiled lightly.

"You're doing alright, the others just are always wary about newcomers, it's nothing against you, don't worry." He told me. He could see right through me, which felt....strange.

"I know, I just never know in this world if my life is gonna depend on them, so the more I know them, the more of chance we will have of survival."  I confided in him. So far he was the only one I knew would trust me.

"I can understand that, just give it time, they'll warm up to you. Come on, I have something that may cheer you up." He stood up then reached out to help me up. I took his hand and we both lifted me up. We walked back across the courtyard and into the building.

"So, since you've been here a bit, and I know that you don't play piano, I think that I'll teach you some." He opened the door in front of us and I saw a grand piano that had probably seen better days. It had been so long since I had seen an intact instrument.

We sat down together on the piano bench and he looked over at me before beginning to play. The song was super beautiful, but I didn't know what it was called. I looked at Louis and he smiled down at the keys as he played. Damn, he was attractive.

Once Louis finished playing, he smiled at me again. He grabbed my hands lightly and set them down on the keys.

"So the keys range from A to G, then they start over again," he played A to G "and the little black keys are sharps and flats, they either make the note slightly lower or higher."

He played the first five notes of his song and then looked at me. "Try it." He told me.

I gulped them slowly copied the notes he played, with a few mistakes here and there. The third time I did it, I got it down perfect.

He laughed a little. "You may be cute but damn, you catch on quick."

I blushed then we continued to play the song. By the time the sun set, I could almost play the entire song up to speed with Louis. It sounded beautiful when we played it together

"What is the song called?" I asked when we were walking back to our rooms.

"I don't have a name for it yet, but I have a few ideas." He told me.

"Like what?" I questioned.

He turned to face me and smiled. "Maybe it could be called 'My y/n', if you don't like it I understa-"

I cut him off. "I love it Louis, it has a nice ring to it. Can we play again tomorrow?" I asked him.

He nodded and then turned the corner to his room. I felt giddy and maybe....most definitely skipped back to my room.

Don't tell anyone.
