Here is the next chapter for all of you out there.
Enjoy?
Ace ran to the recording studio as fast as he could. Yes, in this strange yet interesting castle, there is a recording studio. Andre had built it with the help of his grandfather, Xenlo Scarlett. Xenlo was always into music when he was a child and built another recording studio in the family mansion which belonged to a different family he was forced to recognize during his times growing up - The Noah Household. The Noahs have always had a lively name to put up with - not the fact that most of them have been alive for thousands of years, but because of the special bonds and alliances they made in the universe which lets them reign in their households as kings & queens in their part of the universe.
Ace yawned as he tried to shake out the history of Andre's grandfather's buisness as he made his way to the studio and knocked on the large, French-origin double doors that stood out from the rest of the rooms. The door was opened a little and the one person that was standing there was Ace & Andre's old friend Chaos. A tall 17-year old with magenta-colored hair and bright teal eyes, Chaos smiled down at Ace as he pat the younger teen's head ruffling up his hair, "Thought that you were sleeping in Ace." "I told Andre that I was going to be coming over soon." Ace said looking up at the teen with dark magenta hair that was sticking up all over the place like his own, but Ace's was more of a natural spike. Chaos just smiled as he shook his head, "Andre didn't say that you were coming over yet. He just closed the studio door behind him and just went to recording the songs."
Ace frowned slightly while Chaos let the younger teen inside of the editing room. There was buttons, control panels, and a few screens that had cameras in the recording booth, where he saw Andre was standing and singing away in the sound-proof recording booth. There was a glass in between the editing room & the recording booth itself so they could see Andre, or anyone who was recording, and make sure that they were working. Ace looked at Chaos for a second before going over to sit in front of the control panals and took ahold of the microphone sitting there.
He was about to push the button to talk to Andre but Chaos took the microphone from him before looking down at him, "How about listening to his music. You know how Andre gets when people interrupt him." Ace stopped to think for a moment knowing how the blonde hair teen truely HATES IT when people interrupt him, in the middle of ANYTHING. Ace nodded up to the purple-haired teen, letting Chaos push another button on the control panel instead. Once Chaos push the button, the editing room was just drowning away as Andre was singing in the other room:
I shouldn't love you but I want to
I just can't turn away
I shouldn't see you but I can't move
I can't look away
I shouldn't love you but I want to
I just can't turn away
I shouldn't see you but I can't move
I can't look away
And I don't know how to be fine when I'm not
'Cause I don't know how to make a feeling stop
Just so you know
This feeling's taking control of me
And I can't help it
I won't sit around, I can't let him win now
Thought you should know
I've tried my best to let go of you
But I don't want to
I just gotta say it all
Before I go
Just so you know
Ace felt his heart in his chest was starting to ache as he heard Andre sing this song. Something about it just make him feel so... Different.
It's getting hard to be around you
There's so much I can't say
Do you want me to hide the feelings
And look the other way
And I don't know how to be fine when I'm not
'Cause I don't know how to make a feeling stop
Ace felt his face was getting a little flushed the more he watch Andre sing through the two-way glass.
Just so you know
This feeling's taking control of me
And I can't help it
I won't sit around, I can't let him win now
Thought you should know
I've tried my best to let go of you
But I don't want to
I just gotta say it all
Before I go
Just so you know
The way the recording booth lights were casting down on Andre's face, the way Andre moved his lips as he sung, and even the small twinkle Ace saw in Andre's eyes as he sang.
This emptiness is killing me
And I'm wondering why I've waited so long
Looking back I realize
It was always there just never spoken
I'm waiting here...been waiting here
Even Ace knew that Andre has a deep passion for music...
Just so you know
This feeling's taking control of me
And I can't help it
I won't sit around, I can't let him win now
Thought you should know
I've tried my best to let go of you
But I don't want to
I just gotta say it all
Before I go
Just so you know
...And for the people around him.
As the song ended, Ace was just sitting there in a sort of dazed trance while Chaos pushed a button as he spoke into the microphone smiling up at Andre, "Well done dude! That's the last of the recording for now. You should get on going to see your sister now, don't you think?" Andre pulled the headphones off of his ears before speaking into the mic on his line, "Well, I really should try to reason with her. Think you can manage the songs for today Chaos?" "Will do Andre!" Chaos said while Ace looked up to see Andre staring down at him through the glass window. "Ace, you're staying with me for today. Do you mind?" The blonde teen said to as the younger teen looked at him before he felt his heart was starting to race again as he nodded.
"Sure, I don't mind Andre. I have to do the laundry today though so I might need some time..." Ace said as he felt his head slowing down while Andre nodded for a second as he turned the equipment off in the recording booth and stepped out. "Well, I can help you with that later if you truly need the help." Andre said while Ace got up from his chair a bit shaken up. "That would be fine Andre. So, let's go see your sister, right?" The mahogany-colored hair boy smiled while Andre just drew a small smile on his face as he headed for the door.
"Um, Ace... Can I ask for your help with something for a second?" Chaos asked as he tapped the young boy's shoulders from behind before he left. "Help? Oh, um... Sure Chaos." Ace said smiling a little as he peeked down the hallway shouting something to Andre to help out Chaos with something for a second. Andre just looked back giving a thumbs up before turning back around and heading down the hallway to his sister's room. "Now, what is it you wanted to talk about Chaos?" Ace said glancing at Chaos in a curious way while the older teen grabbed Ace's hand, roughly pulling him back into the editing room and closed the door behind the younger teen. "You don't have to be so rough Chaos." Ace snapped at his friend before he was pushed back and his arms were pinned over the top of his head against the door. Chaos looking down into his dark golden eyes smirking as he brought his face down to the younger teen's, "Like you don't have to play hard to get." Before Ace did anything else, he felt a pair of lips crash down onto his own.
Cliffhanger? Maybe it is, or maybe I don't know how to end a chapter..
Tune in for another chapter to be coming soon! :)
