loving you was easy

chapter 38

Demi's POV

*3 weeks later*

I was still sat in Gemma's hospital room, I won't leave. Max brought me my guitar and key bored, I often sing to gemma, its like my way of helping her. Max also found the note book gemma was using during the month of my birthday. I opened it and saw all the notes and everything to play the song she wrote for me on my birthday. I got the keyboard out and put it on my lap, I rested the paper on the the paper holder thing on the keyboard. I looked at the notes trying to figure out the rhythm. I looked at gemma and I had a small flashback of the concert. it all cane back to me. the lyrics, the pianos rhythm, everything. I closed my eyes and started to play and sing my heart out.

once I finished I looked at the paper and saw it was called all of me. the lyrics are so meaningful, she wrote the song to me and I feel the love in the lyrics. I put the keyboard down and put my hand on Gemma's cheek, rubbing it gently with my thumb. her bruising had gone now, apart from the cut above her eye which should be gone in a few weeks maybe, she looked her normal self. I watched her. hope ran through me that she would open her eyes any second, I sat waiting for that moment, it never came.

she layed there motionless, the only sound filling the room was the heart monitor beside her bed. I felt tears run down my face.

i picked the keyboard back up and started to sing nightingale,

I can't sleep tonight

Wide awake and so confused

Everything's in line

But I am bruised

I need a voice to echo

I need a light to take me home

I kinda need a hero

Is it you?

I never see the forest for the trees

I could really use your melody

Baby I'm a little blind

I think it's time for you to find me

Can you be my nightingale?

Sing to me

I know you're there

You could be my sanity

Bring me peace

Sing me to sleep

Say you'll be my nightingale

Somebody speak to me

Cause I'm feeling like hell

Need you to answer me

I'm overwhelmed

I need a voice to echo

I need a light to take me home

I need a star to follow

I don't know

I never see the forest for the trees

I could really use your melody

Baby I'm a little blind

I think it's time for you to find me

Can you be my nightingale?

Sing to me
