The Next Step - Wondering (A Pinn Story)

Chapter 11

Chapter 11: Without You...

A/N: The 'vain' in the lyrics of the song does not mean being conceited. In this context, it means "producing no results, useless".

Piper's POV:

"I just wrote a new song yesterday, wanna hear it?" I ask my friends.

They all jump in excitement.

"Just a heads-up, it's pretty depressing," I warn.

I sigh and sit down at the piano, as Rachel moves to go stand with Skye. They wrap their arms around each other and rest their heads against each other's.

My fingers move over the keys, as I begin the song I wrote for Finn, called 'Without You'. This song is really deep and it describes all the emotions I've been feeling recently and despite what I tell Finn, this song exposes how I truly feel about him.

I can't win, I can't reign
I will never win this game
Without you, without you
I am lost, I am vain
I will never be the same
Without you, without you

I won't run, I won't fly
I will never make it by
Without you, without you
I can't rest, I can't fight
All I need is you and I
Without you, without you...

Ohh, you, you, you
Without you, you, you
Without you

Finn's POV:

Piper starts singing another song and even though she didn't say it was about me, I can hear from the lyrics that it is.

I can't believe this. She actually likes me, she's always liked me. The only reason she is pushing me away is Amy, not because she doesn't want to be with me.

I can't erase, so I'll take blame
But I can't accept that we're estranged
Without you, without you
I can't quit now, this can't be right
I can't take one more sleepless night
Without you, without you

I start smiling, she hates this distance between us and the fact that we aren't talking. I think that's what estranged means, but I'm not really sure.

I won't soar, I won't climb
If you're not here, I'm paralyzed
Without you, without you
I can't look, I'm so blind
I lost my heart, I lost my mind
Without you, without you...

My smile gets even bigger at this point. I probably look like a love-sick puppy. This is a dream come true, it's all I've ever wanted, Piper to feel the same about me. Although, it kills me that she is in this much pain, but I am too. Without Piper, I feel like I'm paralyzed too. I feel like there's nothing in this world that can brighten my life, other than her. Without her, I'm lost and broken. I need her to survive, she is the air I need to breathe. Everything around me fades away and my sole focus is Piper. I don't care about anything else anymore, I need Piper. She's all I need right now, she's all I'll ever need.

Third Person POV:

As Piper starts singing her song, Finn starts smiling like an idiot.

He is staring so intently at Piper, his eyes not focused anywhere but her.

Finn's smile starts getting wider and he looks like he is floating on a cloud.

Some of A-Troupe start looking at Finn like he's going crazy, seeing as this is a sad song and he has the biggest smile.
