Fairy Tale

By xLycheeRain

Prologue

I uttered the last few words of my song, and released cold white keys from their previous chord, letting the pedal carry out the last notes. I felt a familiar stinging in the back of my eyes. I gazed at my phone on the piano, wondering if she was still listening.

I know she told me to go, that she wanted to hear me play, but how could I leave her in such a state? Her pleading finally got to me and I reluctantly left her side, leaving her with our only instrument of communication. I slid my eyes shut; I could still feel the weak touch of her fingers against mine.

The applause of the audience made my eyes snap back open, bringing me back to reality. I grit my teeth; they shouldn't be clapping, I shouldn't be here. I stiffly reached for my phone and slipped it back into my pocket, I'd check it later. Slowly rising from the piano bench, I took an uncomfortable bow and left the stage. I didn't care if the entire audience had stood up to praise me; I needed to get out of there.

I glanced over my shoulder, staring at the spot I'd just left. A haunting memory flashed before my eyes and I whipped my head away. I didn't want to think about that right now. A dull thudding pounded through my ears as I pushed my way out of the building into the cold, open air.

I brushed past all of those who stood in my way and pulled out my phone again. I put it to my ear, not daring to hope. When all I heard was a clatter of something plastic, a few distant yells, and rolling wheels on worn down linoleum, I broke out into a sprint. It can't be too late, it just can't.

As I tore through the crowd, I heard a voice that I'd been longing to hear since I left the bright white room earlier this morning. The words it spoke to me however, weren't comforting.

When the whole world ignored me, only you wouldn't leave me alone.

A/N: So I SHOULD be working on BB... well hw, but this'll be a side story... y'know. This was just a burst of inspiration from a song I haven't heard in the longest time. The MV brought tears to my eyes again... as usual. I'll post the song name when I'm done with this story so you can watch the MV.

So when BB is done, I'll be working on this story. It WILL be multi-chapter but I don't think it'll go on for very long. At least I hope not.

Leave a review for what you think about this so far! :)
