Lorsque le jeune homme se réveilla le lendemain matin, sa main tâtonna la place à côté de la sienne.

Personne.

Il se tourna vers la table de chevet pour récupérer son téléphone et vérifier ses messages.

Rien.

Il se leva finalement et parcourut la maison pour capter la présence d'un mot l'avertissant de l'absence de Jade.

Toujours rien.

Il reprit son téléphone et envoya un message à la blonde.

à jade : t'es où ?

Il remonta dans la chambre et récupéra quelques affaires, dont sa guitare. Puis il s'installa dans le canapé et se mit à jouer quelques notes.

- You said, "I wanna get to know ya". Why you gotta get my hopes up ? You said that you were staying over. But then I woke up to the cold air.

- How could you make me believe, that there was something in between you and me, yeah ? I look around and I don't see you.

- Where were you in the morning, baby ? You didn't leave your number for me. Left me without a warning, baby. Where were you in the morning, baby ?

- And how do you, how do you just walk away ? And how do you, how do you just walk away ?

- And I thought you really felt this when we were talking about breakfast. You made it seem like we connected I guess I just didn't expect this.

- How can you make me believe that there was something in between you and me, yeah ? I look around and I don't see you.

- Where were you in the morning, baby ? You didn't leave your number for me. Left me without a warning, baby. I said where were you in the morning, baby ?

- And how do you, how do you just walk away ? (Where were, where were you ?) And how do you, how do you just walk away ? (Where were, where were you ?)

- And I hope you had a good visit 'Cause I know you had a good time. And I'm looking up at the ceiling. And I keep wondering why.

- Where were you in the morning, baby ? (Where were you in the morning ?) You didn't leave your number for me (Didn't leave your number) Left me without a warning, babe
(Left me without a warning) I said, where were you in the morning baby ? (Where were you in the morning ?)

- How do you, how do you just walk away ? (Where were, where were you ?) How do you, how do you just walk away ? (Where were, where were you ?) How do you, how do you just walk away ? (Where were, where were you ?) How do you, how do you just walk away ? (Where were, where were you ?)

- Je suis là.

Il se redressa et fit face à Jade, habillée d'un jogging, d'un sweat et coiffée d'une chignon.

- Je pensais que tu serais déjà partie, elle avoua.

- Pourquoi t'es rentrée, vu que tu m'as entendu chanter ?

- Parce que je suis accro à tes chansons. Et à ta voix. Je suis devenue une de ces minettes fragiles qui pleurent en t'écoutant.

- Sauf que ça parle de toi.

- Je sais. C'est probablement la cause principale.

Elle marqua une pause puis reprit.

- Je ne suis pas prête à retrouver une relation sérieuse. J'ai flippé en me réveillant ce matin, genre vraiment.
