Shattered Pieces (Book 1)

Brave Enough

I DO NOT OWN 'Brave Enough'. That is by Lindsey Stirling. This is a few months after the final fight. Shiro's in critical condition, seeing as his crystal was shattered during the fight, along with some other potentially fatal injuries. So a bit of a description of what's going on: Shiro's consciousness is in the Diamond Dimension, watching what's happening to his body in the living world (because time lies frozen in the Diamond Dimension). This is what he sings to Adam when he find out that Shiro will probably never wake up, due to the blood loss, the lunar amulet magic/poison, shock and his shattered crystal. (Watch the video while you read this chapter, because the song has meaning in this chapter!)

I sat on my knees, staring in shock at what I was seeing through my little window into the living world. Adam was gripping one of my hands and sobbing, covering his face with his free hand. The doctors had just told him and Pidge that my body would probably never regain consciousness. When they were told that, Pidge had a sudden look of frantic denial on their face and ran out off the room. Adam just crumpled to the ground with deep, heaving sobs. He looked like he'd been punched in the gut. He looked at my broken body, which was still. I was still breathing, but you could tell I wasn't going to make it. My chest was barely rising and falling. My heartbeat was very weak. And My brain had very little activity going on. My body was shutting down.

I stood up, placing my hand on the "glass", watching as Adam spoke, barely understandable, due to how much he was crying.

"Takashi, please come back! Please baby... please come back.... I love you so much! I can't lose you, after I've lost nearly everything."

I watched, unable to do anything. I remembered the night when someone had confessed to him, and he said that he sorta liked them back. I had sprinted through the hallways, crying. I somehow ended up on the roof of the Garrison, staring up at the night sky. When Adam found me, I was playing a song on the violin. I was so hurt. The song reflected my feelings towards him, and my mistakes. I had never even heard the song before that night and I found out later that the song was called 'Brave Enough' by Lindsey Stirling. I materialized a violin and started to play 'Brave Enough'.

There's some things I should've said. I was too afraid.

It was just so hard to let you know. And now it's all to late.

What we had was beautiful, I didn't wanna wreck it all. Everyday I think about the truth...

I wish I was, I wish I was, brave enough to love you, brave enough to love you.

I wish I was, I WISH I was, brave enough to love you, brave enough, brave enough, brave enough to love you.

Memories swirling around me, my dying body losing all of them. I would be trapped here forever, but I didn't mind.I could still see into the living world.

Stripped away the walls I built. Like no one ever has.

The hardest parts we'll never know, if we were meant to last.

What we had was beautiful, I didn't wanna wreck it all. Everyday, I think about the truth.

I wish I was, I wish I was, brave enough to love you, brave enough to love you.

I wish I was, I WISH I was, brave enough to love you, brave enough, brave enough, brave enough to love you.

I knew I wasn't going to live. I'd been practically dead when I'd been rushed in to the ER. It still helped to play this song one last time, for Adam.

*faint voice* brave enough to love you, brave enough to love you.

I wish I was, I WISH I was, brave enough to love you, brave enough, brave enough, brave enough to love you.

(Words: 698) So hello again! Once again, I don't own Brave Enough, Lindsey Stirling owns that. THIS IS THE LAST CHAPTER BEFORE THE EPILOGUE! Don't worry, book two will be out soon! I write this story as my friend and I play through the different archs, so each book will be based on a different arch. This series is far from over, so no need to worry Crystals (that's what I'm going to call my readers, if y'all are okay with that)
