I know, I shouldn't have started yet another story. But I couldn't help myself.
This one unlike my other of Investigating Your Heart, will not be updated everyday.

Emma growled, there it was the again, the sound of a violin softly playing. It was about the fourth time that week she's heard her neighbor play the violin. And it wasn't a cheerful tune but as though whoever was playing, stood heartbroken and sad. But Emma couldn't take it. She had to work in the morning and the sad tune from her neighbor wasn't going to cut it for her today.
"Ugh, they're at it again," Elsa growled, covering her ears and walking out of her shared bedroom with Emma –who too had walked out.
Ruby chuckled. "I don't know why it bothers you both. It's a beautiful melody."
"It bothers us because we have work tomorrow, unlike you Ruby –who has off from the diner," Elsa said.
Elsa Aren, Ruby Lucas and Belle were Emma's roommates. They had all chipped in and gotten the most expensive but nice, loft style upscale apartment. It had been Ruby's idea. They were all admiring the upscale shiny building one-day –when Ruby declared why don't they all put their money together and rent an apartment in the building. They were all single, so no one had to worry about any strangers sneaking in the middle of the night. And it helped that they each shared rooms.
But what the four had not expected was the buildings infamous violinist. At first each thought how beautiful it sounded. But then after the third day were they all sort of tired of it.
"And no one dares to tell that person anything," Belle said, she had come from the kitchen.
"Why not?" Elsa asked.
Belle was their little information person. She knew anything and everything, all you had to do was just ask her and she'd tell you. She of the four did not work at Granny's diner but in a universities library.
"I heard from our neighbor in apartment 28H that our violinist happens to be a child to the person –whom built this building. Hence why no one tells them anything," Belle said.
"So we have to live with it!" Elsa practically shrieked.
Emma shot up from her place on the couch, heading towards the door.
"Well, I'm going to tell her something. Screw them being whoever they are," Emma said.
"Em, no, you're going to get us into trouble," Belle said.
"Yeah, I'm with Belle on this one. We just moved here, maybe we should just ride it out for a time being," Ruby said.
Emma rolled her eyes. Biting her tongue from telling Ruby why exactly she was on Belle's side. Before Emma could open the door and give their neighbor a piece of her mind – the music stopped. A door could be heard opening and shutting.
"Oh my goodness, they have company," Ruby squealed.
Emma watched as Ruby pressed her wolf ears to the wall, ready to eavesdrop. One problem about living in a building that is so expensive, apparently the walls were literally all thin. At times Emma thought they paid for paper walls.
"Ruby, its not nice to listen in on someone else's conversation or apartment," Bells scolded.
Elsa rolled her eyes. "Belle, its not as though we all can't hear. We hear everything that happens in this building."
Emma nodded. In her room, which she shared with Elsa, their neighbors on the left of them, were always going at it every night. Elsa and Emma wondered if they were trying to repopulate the earth the way they were always banging against the wall.
"Shh, it's a guy," Ruby said.
"Ruby, the guy could be the owner. We don't know who lives over there," Belle said.
Emma couldn't lie, she was a bit intrigued to find out.
"Shh…" Ruby hissed.
All four were silent as they listened in the other conversation, next door.
"Have you been around?" asked the guy.
"Nope," came the new voice, a woman Emma registered.
"Regina, you know you must go outside, it is not good for you to stay cooped up for too long."
The four friends each looked at each other. Their neighbors name was Regina.
"I know daddy. And when I am ready, I will go out. I just moved here, allow me to breathe a little bit okay?" Regina said.
"Who talks to their father like that?" Elsa asked.
Emma shrugged. She didn't know why but she was suddenly curious about their new neighbor. She had moved in around the same time they had.
The other two had not spoken, allowing Ruby to peel herself off the wall and pout.
"Awe, I wanted to hear more. No fair," Ruby said.
"At least we know who are neighbor is," Belle said.
"Uh, yeah. Did you hear her, she's got a hell of a sexy voice. Damn, we have to get at least a glimpse of her," Ruby said.
Emma rolled her eyes. "Why don't you drool for her anymore Ruby."
"Oh come on, don't tell me you're not the least bit curious about our loner of a neighbor and her violin. Ooo guys, we should invite her over, it sounds obvious that she needs friends."
Emma was curious about her but she wouldn't admit that to her friends –who would probably endlessly tease her about it. But she wondered, who was Regina in apartment 18M.

Curious?
