Chapter # 3: Performance

A.N: Sorry About the last beginning thing, it should say "Chapter # 2: Cheer Up" ... But yeah, I forgot and was tired, sorry.

I never said I'd lie and wait forever
If I died, we're be together

The vocalist kept his eyes closed and refused to look to his audience. Either he was preparing for the perfect moment to open his eyes for that dramatic effect, or he was scared.

I can't always just forget her
But she could try

The beat picked up right at that moment and his eyes fixed on the audience as the next lyrics left his lips,

At the end of the world
Or the last thing I see
You are
Never coming home
Never coming home
Could I? Should I? Shuichi's eyes grew at the astounding vocal power and the eyes of the vocalist himself. So many emotions locked away behind two brilliant, blue orbs. And the words ...

And all the things that you never ever told me
And all the smiles that are ever ever ...
Ever ...

They were deep, sad ... Honest. He felt he could really relate to the words that were being sung by a male he didn't even know. By a male who was thrusting his emotions into his words. The cheering audience screamed. The words emotions rang out and moved everyone.

Get the feeling that you're never
All alone and I remember now
At the top of my lungs in my arms she dies
She dies

These words especially spoke to him. Rang in his ears. Made him remember.

At the end of the world
Or the last thing I see
You are
Never coming home
Never coming home
Could I? Should I?
And all the things that you never ever told me
And all the smiles that are ever gonna haunt me
Never coming home
Never coming home
Could I? Should I?
And all the wounds that are ever gonna scar me
For all the ghosts that are never gonna catch me

The dramatic expressions this male was giving off just fit into his words that much more. Exagerrated his words that much more. Gave them more of a meaning. The meaning was deep within him and he didn't want to be reminded of it anymore then he already had. But the words continued on.

If I fall
If I fall down

The sinister way that the male sang the word "down" sent shivers down his spine. Made him see everything he feared the most. The emotions were strong. Almost to strong for him to handle and yet he did not want to look away from the vocalist.

At the end of the world
Or the last thing I see
You are
Never coming home
Never coming home
Never coming home
Never coming home

Maiko was never coming home.

And all the things that you never ever told me
And all the smiles that are ever gonna haunt me
Never coming home
Never coming home
Could I? Should I?
And all the wounds that are ever gonna scar me
For all the ghosts that are never gonna ...

The song ended perfectly and yet ... The meaning and the words were stuck on him and moving through him at such a speed that he wasn't sure he would be able to hold back the tears that he longed to cry much longer. The pain of losing his sister ... It was becoming too much.
