Chapter 10:

I sit in the music room again playing music that I've memorized or music I've written.

"Hey" Mikey smiles from the door frame.

He seems to always find me when I'm hidden away in this room. I guess he's the only one who knows where to find me.

"Hi" I stop playing the piano.

"I was thinking about your song the other day. And I was wondering, what other songs have you written?"

"Um well there's a few. I uh wrote one for my ex boyfriend. You know. After the incident"

"Can I hear it?"

"Um sure." I bit my lip.

I know I won't be able to perform the song without crying but I want Michael to hear it. It helps me let out the emotions and show people how I'm truly feeling or how I felt at some point.

He sits next to me on the piano bench as I placed my fingers on the piano keys. I take a deep breath before starting to play.

"We know full well there's just time
So is it wrong to toss this line?
If your heart was full of love
Could you give it up?

'Cause what about, what about angels?
They will come, they will go, make us special

Don't give me up
Don't give...
Me up

How unfair, it's just our love
Found something real that's out of touch
But if you'd searched the whole wide world
Would you dare to let it go?

'Cause what about, what about angels?
They will come, they will go, make us special

Don't give me up
Don't give...
Me up

'Cause what about, what about angels?
They will come, they will go, make us special

It's not about not about angels, angels"

By the end I've chocked down the tears but a few manage to escape.

Michael holds me close as I let out a few quiet sobs in his chest. He rubs my back until I stop crying.

"That was beautiful" he said as I calmed down.

He wiped the tears from my cheeks with his thumb. He lightly caressed my face and I leaned into the touch.

"Thank you" I give him a small smile.

He gives me a sympathetic smile in return.

A comfortable silence fell upon us as Mikey still held my hand under the piano.

"Your song is right" he said breaking the silence.

"What?"

"It asks about angles from above. Asking if they are real. In the end you say it's not about Angels. Meaning it's not about Angels above but angles you can find down here on earth"

"How'd you know that?"

"I listened" he shrugged.

"Your right though. That's exactly what the song is about. And guess what?"

"What?"

"I think I've found my angel on earth" I give him a smile.

"Me too" he said squeezing my hand under the piano. "me too"
