Chapter one
The pub was full, glasses half empty, and people dealing, no innocence had touched this place each corner touched by blood or urine, everyone spoke, harsh words were exchanged and eventually fights were to, someone ended up going to hospital or thrown out left to cry in the gutter. I always saw it, maybe it's because this place was what I called home. The only home I had, I used to have a family, a mother, a father, a baby brother. But then mum and dad got divorced and Takeru got taken away, dad looked after me and for a while I was granted a normal life, I would hang out with my friends, go to school be a normal person. Then Dad started to retreat to the bottle and then slipped into drugs, all my things were taken, my computer, my clothes all my money then dad began to hit me. He told me not to tell anyone as he kissing my bruises and wrapped his arms around my neck. I was frightened and ran away, staying on the streets and hiding in the dark. I was caught stealing and was arrested and put into a care home, dad never once visited and in time I forgot what love was, what my brother looked like, the feeling of a hug., I began to drink at the age of fourteen and hate myself even more. So yeah this is were I am now four years later, plunking at the guitar strings as they let out there sound. One of the staff members waves his hand towards me, I stand up and walk the sound of my feet echoing as I open the curtain and shield my eyes from the spotlight. Millions of girls cheer and hold up cardboard signs, I ignore them and nod to the drummer who looks impatient and cruel, then I reach out for the microphone. "This is a song called 'Be my melody.'" I say, shining a forced smile at the screaming fan girls.
The drummer picks up the sticks and I began to sing.
'Please just hold me gently, I won't have to scream'
'all I want to do is hold you, but you flee from me'
The drummer beats louder.
'Am I a monster'
'Am I thing your scared of'
'am I the thing which blows out the lights, when you come any closer'
'please don't hide from me, because your….
'Be my melody! The thing you scream to see'
'the thing you try so hard to hold onto'
'but brother why can't you listen to the plea'
'that maybe I'm just a mistake, a thing you can laugh at' 'A joke, a lie. Just fucking die'
''I won't cry coz I knows in your eyes'
'That your…. Be my melody'
I continued, my mind wandering as I starred at all the fan girls jumping up and down and screaming, I starred around the pub, people whispering to each other and slipping things into pockets, people making out or dancing, then my eyes landed on a boy, he was about my age. He was dressed in a neat black shirt with red satin sown into the arms. White jeans which looked stained from the rain. His eyes were perfect the colour of chocolate mixed with milk creating a warm oak. His hair untamed, wild brown and spiky, coming with the goggles. He was looking straight at me and I was looking straight at him, my heart pounding slightly. Then I stopped singing and he turned his attention to his friends but eyes refused to leave him, it wasn't until he stood up for a drink was when I decided to take my leave.
But before I opened the curtain I took one last look at him, he was looking back with a cool glare and then he disappeared behind the red torn fabric.
