     "Katherina?" A voice disrupts my dreams.
     I roll over to face away from the doorway, "go away, five more minutes."
     "Kath, I ordered breakfast."
     I sit up and look at the intruder, Erik. "I'll see you in ten." I slowly stand up and glance down at my leggings and longsleeve I wore to sleep, good enough.
     I skipped into the kitchen to see waffles on plates, yes! I sprint to a stool and sit down on it, grabbing a fork and syrup.
     "I havent had waffles in forever!" I said and smiled up at Erik. "How'd you know?"
     "I asked Caroline." He shrugs and sits next to me.
     "How did you even know how to work the phone?" I ask and pour syrup onto my waffles.
     "Caroline, also, ordered those." He said sort of embarressed and looks at the food.
     "Well, it doesnt matter, you sir need to eat also." I say and hand him a fork.
     "Okay." He said and we began to eat.

     I spent all day at my piano, yeah I had that too. I played multiple songs but I was really stalling so I could play Bohemian Rhapsody. The song was a large favourite of mine, it was probably the best song in existance. I got ready to play and smiled, it will be the first time I played this since that night. I played the beginnings notes and joy instantly filled my soul.

"Mama, just killed a man
Put a gun against his head
Pulled my trigger, now he's dead
Mama, life had just begun
But now I've gone and thrown it all away
Mama, oh oh
Didn't mean to make you cry
If I'm not back again this time tomorrow
Carry on, carry on, as if nothing really matters"
     I sang the lyrics.
"Too late, my time has come
Sends shivers down my spine
Body's aching all the time
Goodbye everybody I've got to go
Gotta leave you all behind and face the truth
Mama, oh oh (anyway the wind blows)
I don't want to die
Sometimes wish I'd never been born at all
I see a little silhouetto of a man
Scaramouch, Scaramouch will you do the Fandango
Thunderbolt and lightning very very frightening me
Gallileo, Gallileo, Gallileo, Gallileo, Gallileo, figaro, magnifico
I'm just a poor boy and nobody loves me
He's just a poor boy from a poor family
Spare him his life from this monstrosity
Easy come easy go will you let me go
Bismillah, no we will not let you go, let him go
Bismillah, we will not let you go, let him go
Bismillah, we will not let you go, let me go
(Will not let you go) let me go (never, never let you go) let me go (never let me go)
Oh oh no, no, no, no, no, no, no
Oh mama mia, mama mia, mama mia let me go"
     I paused my piano playing and got up to grab my electric guitar, slinging it on. Oh yeah did I forget to mention? I can play the guitar also.
"Beelzebub has a devil put aside for me for me for me"
     I skipped singing the high note and instead focused on my guitar playing.
"So you think you can stop me and spit in my eye?
So you think you can love me and leave me to die?
Oh baby can't do this to me baby
Just gotta get out just gotta get right outta here"
     I sang passionately and played my guitar with ease. But now it was time for the piano again. I just slinged my guitar to be on my back and played the last notes of the song.
"Oh oh oh yeah, oh oh yeah
Nothing really matters
Anyone can see
Nothing really matters
Nothing really matters to me
Anyway the wind blows..."
     I smiled and sat on the piano bench after I put down my guitar. I layed my head on the paino tiles, causing a mix of noted to play but I didnt care. I sighed.

     "What is that instrument?" Erik asks and looks at my guitar.
     "A guitar." I said and straightened my back. "Its electric too."
     "Well, its very different."
     "Yeah, to you but to me its probably the most common instrument now." I say and look at him.
     "You've improved." He commented on my playing.
     I nod, "Yeah I taught myself more stuff." I then turn back to face the piano and get ready to play a new song. "Come sit, I'm playing another. Its called love of my life by Queen, a lovely band. Sadly, their lead singer died." I pout.
     Erik nods and waits for me to start.

"Love of my life, you've hurt me
You've broken my heart and now you leave me
Love of my life, can't you see?
Bring it back, bring it back
Don't take it away from me, because you don't know what it means to me."
I nudge Erik's shoulder with my own and smile playfully.
"Love of my life, don't leave me
You've stolen my love, you now desert me
Love of my life, can't you see?
Bring it back, bring it back (back)
Don't take it away from me
Because you don't know
What it means to me"
I sing and think of Markus. You didnt have to leave Marky.
"You will remember
When this is blown over
Everything's all by the way
When I grow older
I will be there at your side to remind you
How I still love you (I still love you)I still love you"
I play and lean on Erik.
"Oh, hurry back, hurry back
Please bring it back home to me
Because you don't know what it means to me"
I sit back up and play the rest.
"Love of my life
Love of my life
Ooh, ooh."
I end of the song and my shoulders slouch with a sigh.

"You didnt lose it." Erik says and looks at me.
"Lose what?" I ask and return the glance.
"Your talent." He said and smiled.
My face feels hot and I smile, "thank you."
I calm my racing heart, why was it beating so fast? And stand up,
"I think thats enough for today." I say and close the piano.
