Hello like some of you suggested I got a Beta reader…so give a round of applause to the wonderful Too Much Chocolate

She is editing the story from the beginning to Melody of the Heart chapter updated :)

Play from the heart and you will find your melody, or that was what Nico had been told his entire life until the day all of that changed. Now he no longer played; his heart went cold and the melody had stopped, but he still longed to be close to music. He had always had an amazing ear for music, so he decided to judge it instead. This is where the story of love and loss begins, welcome to "Melody of the Heart."

Nico's POV:

Gods, why do I have to come to amateur music groups? They usually suck and then I look like a dick for giving them a bad review. Today it's some so called prodigy named Will Solace. All these new "talents" are popping up everywhere and I haven't liked one.

I walk in and I see a stage hand look at me, and I could see him physically gulp. It makes me kind of happy that I can affect people I don't even know like that, i can check off 'strike fear into the hearts of men' off my bucket list now. I take my seat in the front row and pull out my phone to text my boss Jason that I am here. He texts back: "please stay the whole time, this time!" I glare. Well, it's not my fault that the last few people's music made me wish to be deaf. I text back: "If this person sucks as bad as the last I will not stay and let my ears bleed." He texts back: "Fine." Even though Jason is my boss he can't really make me do anything.

The theater lights start to dim and I put my phone away. The curtains are pulled apart and sitting there is a black grand piano. I know how to play the piano but not super well. Out walks a tall tan man with blonde curly hair, wearing a dark blue tux that he looks very attractive in. I clear my head of these thoughts and wait for him to start playing. He takes a seat gracefully, then his slender fingers play a deep note and a light note. The contrast is interesting and quite pleasant to my ears, which surprises me. He plays his song, his hands move slowly at first but pick up speed, and I feel myself sinking into the wonderful sound of his music.

He plays song after song, some feeling inside of me shifting as he plays. This feeling that hasn't been there for a long time. After he finishes the song he pauses and looks right at me. He smiles, like he knows what his songs are doing to me. He takes a deep breath, and I feel anticipation for what he is going to play next. He slams his hands down on some deep keys and plays so furiously that it surprises me. I take a deep breath as he is finishing the last note of the song, then the silence of the piano rings in my ears. I think it's the last song and so I reach for my bag, but before I can grab it the light sound of keys ring through my ears. I stop moving and look up and see that the pianist Solace has his eyes closed. I gradually sit back in my chair and listen to a slow song with a light sound, but it feels like it has a darker meaning.

I look at him and I don't even think I'm blinking. I feel warm streaks of water running down my face…wait am I crying? I quickly wipe away my tears. When I look back at him he is looking at me with a sad yet happy look. I feel my heart beat a little faster and then he plays the last notes to his wonderful song. He looks at his hands, then stands up and stares at the crowd before giving a bow. He looks back up and smiles. We all clap for him while he exits the stage. I feel something in my heart, a feeling that I haven't felt in a long time. Fulfillment.

Hope you enjoyed

And reviews make my day!
