Owen Blackbourne Is...

A/N Song that is sang here is the song above

Sang's POV

''Miss Sang we shouldn't....if my brother's were to see''

Owen whispered his voice low almost husky.

''Shh...''

I added in a whisper stepping on my tiptoes to place my finger against Owen's soft lips.

''You and your brother's have got to learn to trust me''

I added moving my eyes from the finger on his lips to his eyes almost shocked as his grey started darkening.

''Will you trust me?''

I asked softly bringing my bottom lip to my teeth as my heart became almost still during the few seconds it took for him to answer.

''Yes''

I gave a small smile as i began leaning forward as my hand slowly gripped what i was looking for before placing the violin in Owen's hands.

It had been rather easy to find the instrument in question and we had made it in time just to watch Jade finish her song, despite the kind of girl she was she wasn't that bad of a singer and i had wanted to hear her perform but getting Owen the violin was more important.

''Now as i tell Meanie and Prince....''

I saw Owen raise an eyebrow in question at the names causing me to blush slightly as i cleared my throat turning to signal to Jay that i wanted to perform next as i corrected myself.

''With Gabriel and Victor.....i tell them to play from within, don't think about other artists, don't fear mistakes, completely clear your mind and let your heart play for you''

I turned to look at Owen who simply watched me before turning his attention to the worn out black violin.

''I know this is new to you Owen but you said you would trust me, Victor and Gabriel did when it came to this, i promise not to let you look like a fool''

I said with a small laugh sending a wink Owen's way as i began moving towards the area.

''Play what comes to you naturally and i'll join in once i get a feel for what you are playing''

I explained turning my head slightly to see if he was still following behind me and hid the smile that wanted to take over my face when i realised he was.

''Besides if you end up being good with the violin i can guarantee that you will be scooted as our last violinist left a few years ago''

I knew those were the words to say when i felt Owen prepare himself as we came to a stop next to Jay, after all these men also had a mission to complete.

''What's with suit?''

Jay asked glancing between me and Owen and i couldn't help but laugh at his words, despite Owen currently wearing a well fitted grey top and loose grey joggers he had gained the nickname 'Suit' since that's what he had originally came here wearing.

''Turn out he knows how to play the violin....''

I watched Jay's eyes widen at my words.

''I'm here to test how could he is, never know he could end up Sam's replacement''

I watched Jay's face turn calculating as he thought about my words and knew he was going to allow him to perform since the idea of having a violinist again was too good to pass up.

I waited for Jay to signal for us to go forward grabbing a hold of Owen's hand as i pulled him out with me not giving him any time to rethink his plans. I stepped to the left of him sending him a reassuring smile as the area around us fell silently minus a few deep shocked gasps which i figured belonged to his brother's aswell as a few random mutters questioning why one of the expendables was out here performing.

I saw Owen mentally block everyone around us out as he slowly brought the violin to position resting just under his chin, a small deep breath escaping his lips before he began playing.

To say i was stunned was an understatement, i don't know why i had lower expectations on Owen, perhaps because we kept getting off on the wrong foot but i didn't not expect the beautiful melody that he played, i had been so lost in his performance i had almost forgot i had promised to perform with him until he slowly opened one eye as he raised an eyebrow as though going 'well?'

At first his melody started off softly but once i and others got over the shock the melody began changing to match the backup of the drums and guitar that joined him allowing me to ind the lyrics to sing.

''I can hear the whispers in my sleep

The voices telling me this should be mine
You 
You claim you trust me 
You think I don't see the doubt behind your eyes

I'm gonna build me an empire
And it's lonely at the top
But madness and greatness
Can both share a face
And nobody will ever convince me to stop''

I watched as Owen began to get lost in his music completely forgetting about everyone else around as his eyes watched me intently as i sang along with him.

''It's my destiny 

I was born to play this game
So fear me or love me
It's all the same''

I saw as his mask slowly fell off his eyes shinning with emotion i doubt he had let out for eyes, i could see the pain, the hurt, the loneliness that not just his brother's shared but i knew well, was this how it was when i performed? did my emotions come spilling out when i get lost in the music?

''Try to find a chain that I won't break 

A price I wouldn't pay for what I want 
So you can call me calculating 
You can say I've lost my mind 
You can throw me to the wolves
I'll be alright''

I turned my eyes away from Owen as i allowed my body to move to the music and as i twirled i allowed my eyes a quick glance to the brothers who had came closer no doubt as soon as they realised Owen was playing and smiled at the looks of shock and wonder that shun in them.

''I'm gonna build me an empire

And it's lonely at the top
But madness and greatness
Can both share a face
And nobody will ever convince me to stopIt's my destiny 
I was born to play this game
So fear me or love me
It's all the same ''

I turned my attention back to Owen realising his eyes had never left me as i felt my words come out quieter than his melody.

''Just one word I'll let the world burn

Just one word I'll let the world burn''

I went completely quiet as i saw Owen close his eyes as he got lost in his music, i had stopped singing to put the spotlight fully on him as he poured everything into the instrument as he continued the song's melody perfectly and as he began to pull himself in again i deiceded to finish the song with him.

''I'm gonna build me an empire

And it's lonely at the top
But madness and greatness
Can both share a face
And nobody will ever convince me to stopIt's my destiny 
I was born to play this game
So fear me or love me
It's all the same 
So fear me or love me
It's all the same''

We came to a stop a mere few inches from each other our chests moving fast as we tried to catch our breath and for a second time that night i was left stunned as a heart stopping smile graced Owen's lips.

Owen Blackbourne was smiling.
