Prologue
I am the music. I feel it pulsing through my blood and bones. The lights are bright, it's hot, and my shoulder aches but all is forgotten but the energy surrounding me. This is the only means where I control my emotions. I let go of all the rage, resentment, and fear and just play. I become the strings, the bow, the wood. The music swells around me as Vivaldi's "Storm" comes to its dramatic, dangerous finish and the euphoric feeling begins to vanish.
I look up to the eruption of applause. I feel the eyes of my fellow first violinist looking at me with admiration. I did it. My first major solo with the New York Philharmonic was a success. I take a deep breath but of course, think of the one person that I shouldn't. Him.
I look down at my shaking hands and wonder how and why, after years apart, he can still have this effect on me. This piece suits him. He is a force of nature that is uncontrollable, dangerous, and mesmerizing. He is one of the most famous people in the world, which means I can truly never escape him. I see him everywhere whether I like it or not.
I am no longer the girl he knew, but I can't help thinking that he is out there judging my every success or failure. This is why I push so hard. I will prove to him and everyone else that I mean something too and my trade is just as powerful, if not more powerful, than his.
Our relationship is complicated and I must go back to Forks, Washington before I can offer full understanding. I must go back to an awkward, scared high school sophomore starting life in a new town, a new school with a father she barely knew. However, even then, as she does now, music was in her blood. A powerful and building force.
