okay, so i've had this idea in my head in a long time. it takes place in a AU and the chracters are kinda OOC. i always see stories about Kel on a football team or something physical, which makes sense. but i saw one fanfic, dont know who wrote it, about kel in music and i loved it. this idea popped into my head and hasnt left me so i decided to see what its reception would be like.
song in the chapter is run, don't walk by hey monday
hope you enjoy it!!!
I am restless, and I keep trembling
Everyone watch me as I descend
Into a feeling that's overwhelming me
I finally stopped, stopped making sense
I can't stop talking to myself, I'm a desperate cry for help
Run don't walk the sky is falling through
Don't talk, tonight I'm so confused
I'm lost, I'm lost with you
I don't care where we are, or where we're headed to
But I know I'm lost, I'm lost with you, with you
Your mouth keeps moving
But I've lost focus now
Clock keeps ticking, times running out
Where we're headed there is no heading back
Tripped and ugly I'm losing ground
I can't stop talking to myself, I'm a desperate cry for help
Run don't walk the sky is falling through
Don't talk, tonight I'm so confused
I'm lost, I'm lost with you
I don't care where we are, or where we're headed to
But I know I'm lost, I'm lost with you, with you
For the record, when I'm with you
Things are looking better for once
Everything is brighter than the darkness before you
Run don't walk the sky is falling through
Don't talk, tonight I'm so confused
I'm lost, I'm lost with you
Run don't walk the sky is falling through
Don't talk, tonight I'm so confused
I'm lost, I'm lost with you
I don't care where we are, or where we're headed to
But I know I'm lost, I'm lost with you
"Kel!"
A young girl sitting at a desk with her guitar took the pencil out of her mouth and wrote a few more notes on the piece of sheet music in front of her. She fiddled around with the rhythm before, nodding to herself, she turned to her computer and started the recording she had already made.
"Kel!"
"One minute, Ma!" Kel cried, brushing her mouse-brown bangs out of her dreamy hazel eyes. The recording started and she hummed along with it. When it reached the end of the intro, she began to play. The notes wafted under the drum part she had already written and mingled perfectly. Too soon for Kel, the song ended and she played the last chords.
"Kel, we're going to be late!" Her mother's voice shouted up the steps. She paid it no mind and finishing writing down the last chord progressions on the sheet music. Satisfied with her morning's progress, she stood up and placed her Ibanez Talman TCM60 Cutaway Acoustic-Electric Guitar reverently back on its stand.
"Kel, if you don't come now-"
"I'm coming, Ma. I'm coming!" Kel grabbed her jacket from her chair and turned off her Mac before running lightly down the steps. She stopped at in the front hallway to get her phone as her mother, Ilane, and her father, Piers stood waiting for her at the door. Kel's sisters, Oranie and Adalia, were already outside by the car, giggling about one thing or another, flipping their long brown hair as if they were in a shampoo commercial. As Kel appeared at the door, Ilane glared at her daughter half-heartedly.
"Keladry Mindelan, just because you applied to The Corus Knight's Academy of Music doesn't mean you can-"
"Blow off family get-togethers to play music," Kel finished, grinning off the lecture that was the same every time. "I'm sorry Ma, I'll try not to let it happen again."
Ilane sighed, knowing this was the best she could get from her music obsessed daughter. Piers grinned down at his youngest daughter, hazel eyes glittering.
"See to it that you don't," he said good naturedly. "Now, shall we go to Patricine's wedding party or not?"
To Kel, the party celebrating Patricine Mindelan and Toshuro Akaneru's soon-to-be-union was rather boring and dull. Even though she had her musical brothers, Anders, Inness, and Avinar, to keep her company, she found herself feeling lonely and awkward with most of Patricine's guests. Toshuro's family were kind beyond belief and so were his Yamani friends but they were strangers to her and Patricine's friends squealed often, making Kel want to strangle them. Her third-oldest brother, Conal, was strangely absent but she didn't mind that. In fact, she rather liked it. Conal was a bully and didn't differentiate between family and foe.
"Kel!" Kel turned to the voice, taking a sip from her Shirley Temple. It was Patricine, bubbly and shallow as ever. She pranced over, in a white dress with a very revealing v-neck that accented her already large chest and hips. Her hair, as always was styled in the latest fashion, side bangs sweeping across her forehead with her usually straight hair curled into long ringlets. She wore strapping white heels that Kel thought would be murder just by walking in them. Patricine hugged her fifteen year old sister tightly and Kel had to hold the drink away, in fear of a spill. Finally, Patricine let go and Kel could breathe again. "Oh, little sister, it's been so long! You've gotten so tall and…" Patricine's ever judging eyes raked Kel's figure, "skinny." Patricine clearly didn't like what she saw of Kel's curves. Kel blushed and looked down at the floor, remembering why she didn't really like Patricine. She always examined Kel and judged her on her appearance.
"Hi, Patricine," Kel murmured shyly. "Congratulations, I hope you two will be happy."
Patricine's eyes softened a little and she hugged Kel again. "Aw, thanks, Kel. Toshuro is really sweet and nice. I think we'll be fine."
Kel was about to say something when one of Patricine's friends called her from across the room and Patricine flounced away after giving Kel another strangling hug. Sitting down at the table, Kel played with the napkins and drained her drink. Music came on and couples began to dance. Kel made a face. This was horrible torture, watching old, well, older, people dance was torture. When a particularly old couple began to grind against each other, she squeezed her eyes shut and banged her forehead onto the table.
This is going to be a long night.
