Something In Between

Chapter Five

Jeremy's P.O.V.

I walked into school, groaning and my face scrunched up in pain. I blame all this on David. That asshole had bet me to drink ten bottles of beer just for the heck of it and he bloody well knew that I would do anything for a dare. I should remind myself never to fall for any of David's tricks. Suddenly, my thoughts and constant flow of curse words were interrupted by the sound of piano being played.

Mia. 

She was one of Karen's friends which equals to a whole lot of GOODNESS. I would rather date a nun but something about the way she looked and played willed me to look some more and listen. She played a familiar tune and started singing,

Took this heart and put it through hell,

but still you're magnificent,

I, I'm a boomerang,

Doesn't matter how you throw me,

I turn around and I'm back in the game,

Even better than the old me,

She whispered the next lines in a soft rhythm,

But I'm not even close without you,

She went higher again and her eyes snapped open, her blue irises looked confident and strong,
