***** Ever's P.O.V *****
I don't really know what made me trust him... I guess something inside just told me I could. He's still taking me to this perfect place he thought about. I'm still very curious to see what he has in mind. One thing's for sure he seems very excited to take me wherever it is we're going.
We finally stop running. "We're here!" He said in a cheerful tone. But I can't see what's so interesting all we're doing is standing outside a bid and dark room.
"Where is here exactly?" Still trying to figure out where he took me.
"Oh... Sorry let me unlock the door and switch on the lights" he said blushing a bit "You don't have a hair pin by any chance?"
I took out a hair pin from my bun and gave it to him. He started moving it around in the lock trying to pick it but it just didn't seem to be working out so well for him. He eventually gave up on trying.
"Can I try?" he seemed a bit surprised after hearing that.
"Sure I guess... "
He moved to the side so that I'll be able to see. I started twisting the pin up and down and a bit sideways until I heard a 'click'
"Done" I said with a smile while he just stood there frozen. I snapped my finger in front of his face "Mike are you okay?"
His face instantly changed into a huge smile which in a way made me smile "How did you learn to do that?"
"I used to do the same thing whenever I used to forget my house keys... My dad taught me" I said that last part quietly.
" Sounds cool... Now close your eyes" I hesitantly did what he told me to do "Are you ready?"
"Does scared count as ready?"
"Yes, now I'm gonna pull you in" He said while pulling me in. "Open your eyes"
When I opened my eyes I was completely amazed at what was in front of me. It was the biggest music room I have ever seen. There was instruments of all kinds, shapes and sizes. It felt like home. I was speechless and by the look on his face I knew that he was pleased with his idea.
***** Mike's P.O.V *****
Her face completely light up when she saw the music room. I was glad to see that she doesn't look so sad anymore after what happened earlier. I don't plan on asking her about it yet, She'll tell me on her own when she's ready.
"So, what do you think?" I had to ask even tho the expression on her face speaks for itself.
"It... It's feels so calming in here. But how did you think of this place?" Ever asked still looking around trying to intake everything at once.
"Well headphones can tell a lot about what a person likes" I told her with a genuine smile on my face, which she returned slightly.
I went to look around the place and I suddenly start hearing a classical guitar being played. When I turned around I saw her completely lost in the tune she was playing, I was hearing her humming to the tune I didn't exactly recognize but it was nice. After some time of me starring at her she looked up at me, a slight blush crept onto her cheeks and she stopped playing.
"Don't mind me continue, it was really nice. What was the song you were playing anyway? I don't remember ever hearing it before"
"No... no... it's nothing, I just felt like strumming the strings a bit. N...nothing special." Somehow I couldn't help but feel like she was hiding something behind that melody but after the breakdown she had before I know I shouldn't pressure her into telling me what she was hiding.
***** Ever's P.O.V *****
I didn't want to tell him what was behind that melody because it would make him ask more questions, but gladly he didn't pressure me into telling him which I was grateful for. It made me think that maybe things could be different in here, no one in the school except for the teachers, head of the school and Skylar knew what I had gone through and no one knew the whole thing. So maybe just maybe I'll be able to live an almost normal life without having people look at me strangely or with pity.
We stayed in this comfortable silence, I was strumming the strings of the guitar while he was going around the music room going through all the instruments until the bell signaling the end of lunch is over. We left the music room and went back to meet with Skylar and Jake. We quickly found them just about to leave from their usual lunch table so Mike decided to call out to his brother.
"Yo Jake! wait up!" Jake stopped and grabbed Sky's arm to stop her from going any further. When we reached them we all started walking inside together.
"Hey guys where'd you both end up spending your lunch?" Jake asked us. I didn't know if I should tell him so I stayed quiet and just as Mike was gonna answer the question Jake spoke up again "Mike you didn't take her somewhere against her will, Did he?" I started shaking my head quickly to show him that he didn't.
"Now if you're done questioning us dad!..." That made Sky and me laugh while Jake was scowling at his brother "...All we did was walk around school. Now if you don't mind we're going to be late for class. Bye guys."
And with that he grabbed my arm and pulled me to our next class which we happened to have together also.
