CHAPTER 10
I felt slightly cold this morning when I woke up, I had opened my eyes and there was nothing, no blue light. I looked around the room and still there was nothing, where is Vinyl? I yawned and felt around my bed looking for my phone but I could not feel it, did I leave it in the dress of my pocket? I slipped out of bed and felt around with my foot searching for my dress, luckily I felt the soft fabric brash against my toes, I picked it up and dug around the pockets finding my phone, I held on the home button and there were no messages, strange I would think she would at least sent me a massage as to where she had gone, I held on the home button again "send a message to Vinyl,"
what do you want to say to Vinyl?
"Is everything alright? Your where gone when I woke up... I hope your ok,"
Ready to send it?
"Yes,"
message sent
I sighed and stretched out my mussels feeling soar, I felt a small sting at my chest and reached up feeling a small spot that was a degree warmer then my normal body heat. I blushed remembering that was were Vinyl had bitten me, I laughed to myself and made my way towards the bathroom to wash off. When I was close enough I reached out to open the door only to grab at air, Vinyl must have washed off when she had woken up in the morning, not that it bothered me but the air was not steamy like it should be when one stepped out of the shower. I shrugged my shoulders I can always ask her why she took off so early later on. I was determined to shower for later on Vinyl will come back so that we may go to Lyra house and meet Loraine the most famous violinist in all of Equestria! I feel like a little school girl excited to meet Santa for the first time.
Once I was washed and dressed, I checked to make sure my clothes were intact and fixed, I grabbed my cane that was thankful leaning against the bed post and felt something brush my hand I grabbed it and realized it was the bow tie that came with the outfit from last night. Without thinking I placed it around my neck it felt right like it was meant to be worn all the time, maybe I would continue to wear it, I did like it. I smiled to myself and made my way down stairs to the kitchen, I was feeling hungry and my stomach was growling in protest at my slow pass down the hall. Though when I had reached the last floor I could hear someone in the kitchen and there was a tasty scent mixing into the air, it smelled of eggs, toast, and cinnamon. I licked my lips the scent was very inviting, it must be Vinyl she had told me that her father loved to cook and would teacher all kinds of recipes. I turned the corner of the wall, "Vinyl?" I called out but then I was meet with disappointment when I saw the orange color,
"Good morning Lady Melody or rather good afternoon, you've been asleep quite a while my dear," Alice committed I could hear her move about and place a plate on the counter, I frowned my good mood now gone and replaced with irritation,
"What are you doing here," I snapped, crossing my arms,
"Eat your food Lady Melody or it will get cold," she ignored me, she moved again and the water turned on she was cleaning up what ever dishes she used to make breakfast,
"I'm not eating your food, I can make my own," I huffed making my way towards the fridge but then Alice got in the way blocking me, she grabbed my shoulders and pushed against me,
"Don't be rude, I went through all the trouble of getting your food ready and even came early to do it," Alice pushed on me more and forced me to sit down, she dragged the plate across the table and pushed a sliver where in my hand. Annoyed I threw the sliver where in my hand across the kitchen it a wall and tumbled to the floor I got up from my seat,
"Do not tell me what to do Alice, now tell me why you are here," I hissed at her "mother informed me that all maids had the next few days off and I would be alone," Alice was pissing me off she layed her hands on me and now is playing with me. Alice moved closer and I can feel her hands on my hips, I move to knock them away but she was quicker grabbing my wrist in her grip and holding on to me tightly.
"My Lady Melody so rude, I was concerned about your well being, it is not safe for you to be all alone in the empty house," Alice pressed into me I could feel her body pushing against mine in an almost starving way. I wiggled in her grasp trying to get loose, why in the world was I being grabbed so much lately!?
"Let g-"
"Allow me to touch you each day for as long as I please and I will continue to keep silent about your little whore," Alice whispered, her mouth at my ear, she nipped at my ear lode I cringed wanting to move away,
"She is not a whore, don't speak of her like that," I hissed back, I hated that I couldn't refuse her what choice did I have? If mother where to find out I was dating a girl she would surly lock me in my room and starve me or whatever else twisted idea she may have. Alice still pressed against me her hand already at my thigh stroking up slowly, I hate her so much, "fine," I growled, I expected Alice to group my breast and violate my body but instead she pressed her lips against my own, it took me by surprise. I opened my mouth in protest but Alice only took advantage and forced her tongue into my mouth.
It was forceful and rough, she pushed her tongue inside my mouth as far as it would go. I felt like I was chocking, Alice's hands moved down and grabbed my bum pushing me against her. Alice kiss was rough and desperate the way she shoved her tongue inside my mouth felt as though I was going to gag, it was nothing like Vinyl's kiss, whose gentle lips where a soothing touch. I couldn't take it any more, I bit down and nipped Alice's tongue she shot back and away from me. I took in deep breaths trying to fill my lungs back with air, I hear Alice laugh
"My Lady, I didn't take you for one who likes it rough, how exciting," she whispers and I feel her near me once more, but then I hear a phone ring and I am grateful it is not mine, "damn it all! Really, right now?! I suppose we will have to finish another time Lady Melody," She chuckles and walks off towards the ringing sound. I use my cane to flee out the front door, I feel disgusting I allowed that bloody women to handle me after only hours ago I made love with Vinyl!
I spit at the ground getting rid of Alice taste, she tastes of mint and now I knew for sure that she really need mixing her saliva into my food it makes me shutter. I couldn't help thinking what would Vinyl think of me? Cheating on her like this? Or would she understand that I was being blackmailed? I grab my phone and hold on the home button to check for any new messages, there was none... What on earth? Vinyl always answered me quickly was she really busy? Maybe I shouldn't bother her, I sighed putting my phone away I shouldn't be pushy I'll just wait for her to reply.

(Vinyl POV)
My head hurts, it feels like someone beat my brain to mush and it was nothing more then a pink soup, it always got like this when ever I cried too much. I sat in the middle of my bed blasting my tunes, listening only to the beats and wubs nothing else my phone had gone off at least 6 times, I was sure one of them was at least Octavia and the others where from Lyra proudly calling to remind me to take Octavia to her house to meet Lorraine. But I couldn't bring myself to check my phone, I didn't want to make the ache in my chest any worries then it already was.
I leaned my head in my hands, today was horrible I wanted to see Octavia so badly, there was no doubt in my mind that bitch was putting all the wrong ideas in her head, telling her things like I only wanted to sleep with her or that I wasn't answering her because I was with some other girl... I shook my head, "I need to get out," I whispered to myself and pushed myself out of bed, I grabbed whatever clothes were near by didn't even care if they where clean or not. I hurried out the door and left my phone on my bed, I didn't need it what was the point?
I head out and started up my car, I drove around not really thinking of where I was going, I kept running ideas over and over again through my head trying to figure out a solution to all this mess but I was coming up blank. I wanted to ask my friends but I couldn't put them in danger, Alice would find out and then she tell Octavia's parents and they send her away! Proubly even any friends I talked with to... It would be reckless and wrong of me. I sighed shacking my head with the situation I was stuck in, when I finally looked up to see where I was I had found myself in front of the Koffe Time shop where I first spoke to Octavia,
"Well might as will get something to eat," I mutter parking my car and getting out, hopefully they won't kick me out for what I did here last time, when I stepped inside there was barely any people it was pretty calm. I was able to order my food with out any trouble, some employees recognized me but choice to keep quite I sighed and head to the back corner of the shop where there was no one else around, I ate my food and honestly I couldn't taste it, it tasted like a mouth full of sand with each bite and yet I didn't care my life felt over it was stupid! I can't believe I'm such a mess over one girl, I've slept with a lot of girls over and over again and whenever they wanted to get serious I refused, relationship were to hard and where like a second job, I didn't want anything to do with it and now here I was lost in my own head thinking only about just one girl. A girl that was beyond amazing and her parents treated her like trash they didn't love her they only used her for show and that was it. Octavia is such a great girl... So beautiful her pricing violet eyes where hypnotic, so talented with the way her fingers glide down the neck of a cello was soothing and elegant or how her fingers danced across the piano with little effort, she was so out of my reach...
"Vinyl!"
I looked up broken out of my trance and grimaced when I saw who called my name, it was Berry punch the bitch that ruined my relationship and my life, she was an average size teen, her hair was a short bob cut that was dyed a bright magenta color, and her skin was kinda on the pale side plus she was really skinny but not in the good way she had decent size boobs but that was it she had no curves, she wasn't a girl I would be interested in,
"What the hell do you want?" I couldn't help but feel happy at seeing her bruised jawline and busted lip, made me remember how I hit her across the face for touching Octavia, that little bit of happiness that I was feeling vanished when I saw the smirk on her face,
"You look like hell Vinyl," she laughed and without being invited took the seat next to me, I moved away as far as I could not wanting to feel her anywhere near my skin,
"Fuck off," I hissed at her and started to get up but then she reached out and grabbed my wrist stopping me from even moving, I looked back at her and glare "what the hell do you think you're doing?" Berry only chuckled,
"Sit down Vinyl, I think you'd be interested in what I have to say" Berry tugged on my wrist gently trying to make me sit but I refused to even budge. Berry rolled her eyes "if you don't listen I'll be sure to give Alice a call," my blood boiled at the mere mention of that bitches name, against my will I sat down and had to stop myself from slapping her hand away from my thigh,
"So your going to blackmail me to?" I growled at her, she smirked and nodded her head,
"What else? Did you think hurting me this badly was going to go unpunished?" Berry moved closer and she grabbed my hand and twined her fingers through mine it felt awkward and unnatural,
"What the fuck do you want Berry," I spat and she squeezed my hand,
"Isn't it obvious? I want to go out with you," Berry leaned in and whispered in my ear, I tore my hand out of her grasp,
"Are you out of your mind?! I hit you and you want to go out with me?!" I yelled at her I could see at the corner of my eye I had caught the attention of other people, I looked back at them glaring daring someone to tell me off or even move towards me, Berry though only laughed, I focused my hatred on her and tired to take in deep breaths,
"I don't care, to me it's just proof that you acknowledge I even exist," she smiled at me and winked, "besides, it's not like you have a choice anyways, I made a deal with Alice I get to have you and she gets to have Octy," she scrunched up her nose when she said her name, it stung my insides to even hear her say the nickname that ONLY I called her, " and that way your little bitch stays safe and you can move on," she grinned and patted the coach for me to sit again, could things get any worries?! I sighed and sat down having to mentally yell at myself to not move away when she moved closer and grabbed my hand again, this is for Octy Vinyl, put up with it until you can figure out something...

(Octavia POV)
"Your just a bundle of nervous Octavia," Lyra giggled besides me as we walked to her house, "my mom not a scary person, I promise she really loving and caring," Lyra patted my shoulder and I let out a nervous laugh, I had felt rather odd having to call Bonbon for Lyra number to ask her to escort me to her home. I felt slightly needy, I would have just asked Vinyl but she was not relpying to any of my messages.
"I'm sorry I guess I'm just really excited, will that and I'm worried about Vinyl," I muttered moving my cane quicker and it end up tangling in the grass, I wiggle it until it got lose and continued to walk,
"Oh I wouldn't worry about her she just problay busy or maybe at her parents, they don't like her to be on her phone when she's over there," Lyra muttered, she sounded off like she was unsure but then quickly bumped her hip against mine, "you know I just realized we haven't gotten the chance to really talk since that one time during lunch," her mint green light seemed to grow a bit brighter,
"That's true, strange will what do you like to do on your spear time?" I ask her, I couldn't help but feel grateful that my confidence was building more ever since I meet Vinyl, I wonder what she was doing?
"Mmm will I like to practice my Lyre or even help Bonbon with her family's candy shop, plus the regular stuff, what about you?"
"I like to study music or compose some pieces ,"
"Wow! You've made music? You have to play some for me I bet it's awesome," she patted my back gently, I blush lightly but smile,
"Oh you phrase me to much it's average pieces nothing fancy," I giggle,
"Um huh sure, but your anything but average Octavia, your an amazing girl you know," the complaint puts more color on my cheeks and I nodded my head, maybe I put myself down to often Vinyl would do the same thing correct me whenever I spoke badly of myself, "oh!" I jump slightly at the excitement in her voices, " you should get a tattoo of two treble clefs! It would work perfectly on you," she cheered clapping her hands,
"A tattoo? I don't think my mother would approve," I argued shacking my head leaving out the fact she my just cut it off my skin for damaging my body, "wait why two?" I ask before thinking
"Will yea one on each hip everyone does it once there seniors it's like tradition. I have one on both of my hips it's a lyre and Bonbon has Bon Bons plus I'm sure you know about Vinyl's," everyone had one? How strange but it was also kind of nice, "yea so you NEED to get one, I know a really great tattoo artist his a master," I laugh shacking my head,
"Will maybe but how in the world is your mom fine with it?"
"Oh she didn't care as long as it was done by a professional,"
"How lucky, my mother would never let me," I mutter, I feel Lyra's hand at my elbow and she tugs me to the right,
"My house is this way, soo what's you mom like?"
"Oh she's umm... She just like any other mom," I laugh and clear my throat, I hear some keys jingle and the hinge in the door unlocks,
"Oh? So why doesn't she teach you music? Doesn't she teach other kids or something?" Lyra grabs my hand and leads me god knows where, why where people so interested in my mother? She is a horrible women that beats her child just for the hell of it and felt no guilt for it either,
"Well she just doesn't-"
"Lyra? Is that you love?" I froze at the sound of the new rich sound of a female voice, and automatically my cheeks turn red, I could see a new light coming towards me and it was lovely golden yellow colors,
"Yes Mom its me" Lyra called back,
"Oh, will hello there darling you must be Octavia its so nice to finally meet you," I laughed nervously and put out my hand to her,
"Its such an honor to meet you Lorraine, I know this sounds cliché but I am such a big fan of your work," I expected Lorraine to shake my hand instead I felt her arms wrap around me and pull me against her in a very tight hug, my breath caught in my throat and I yelped, my automatic reaction was to pull away or shove the person off but yet feeling Lorraine arms around me felt comforting and filled with warmth that I could not describe.
"Don't be so formal dear! I love to meet my fans!" Lorraine squeezed me, and my heart felt like it was hammering at my chest demanding to be let out,
"Mom! Don't be weird, she barely even knows you," Lyra huffed from behind me and Lorraine embraces loosened and I staggered to get back to my feet,
"Oh hush now she knows my music so certainly she knows a part of me as well, isn't that right love?" I nodded my head quickly and cleared my throat,
"I do yes, sorry I wasn't expecting that, I'm not used to being suddenly grabbed without warning," I mutter but then quickly added, "not that its bothered me though,"
"Why is that? You can see me coming towards you?" I flinched and cast my eyes to the ground, I tapped at my cane,
"Umm no I can't ma'am, I'm blind," I shift from foot to foot uncomfortable and I hear her gasp,
"I an so sorry darling, your eyes... they don't really appear that way..." she shuffles slightly, I move my cane in front of me and tap it on the ground,
"It's alright a lot of people have made the same mistake," I clear my throat to break the small silence that had settled,
"Hey did I tell you that Octavia plays the piano and cello?" Lyra jumped in and I could hear her step forward and place a hand on my shoulder, she pushed me slightly to walk forward,
"Really? I would love to hear some we have a piano in the living room, though its nothing fancy very basic," we kept moving forward and my head was spinning, me play for Lorraine?! She was an experienced violinist! I'm nothing more then an ammeter compared to her,
"Oh no I'm not that good, I'm just a beginner," I argue digging my heals into the ground but Lyra continued to push me forward, she chuckled
"Don't be so modest Octavia, you play like a professional," Lyra cheered, I could hear Lorraine following after us but she said nothing the whole way, I was starting to think that Lyra was a bit pushy but still managed to remain friendly, I suppose I didn't mind but still to think in only a few minutes I was going to play for my favorite artiest it was making my fingers tremble. "Here we go, take a seat Octavia and take your time no rush!" Lyra moved her hand away from my back and I hear her move away and hear them both sit down waiting for me to play, good lord I didn't know if I wanted to choke Lyra or hug her for putting me through this, I had a slight feeling she was taking advantage of Vinyl not being with me.
I moved forward until my cane hit the side of the stool and took a seat, I placed my cane by my side and faced the piano, reaching out I felt the led covering the keys and lifted the lid until it was pushed back all the way. I pressed each key to ensure that it was will tuned and perfect, which of course it was, I paused before I could play anything I wasn't to sure on what to play, I need to buy myself some time at least for a little, " Umm if I may ask, why do you have a piano? I thought you only played the Lyre and Violin?" my mind spined as I tried to remember a peace I had created a while ago,
"Oh, it used to belong to Lyra's father, never had the heart to sell it, even though neither of us knows how to play it," Lorraine answered, there was a noticeable sadness in her voice, I choose to bite my tongue before I could ask what happened to him it would be rude of me to ask about something so private,
"I see, I'm sorry to have asked," I muttered feeling like I just set off a ticking time bomb,
"Oh no please don't be sorry, he passed away a long time ago before Lyra even meet him," Lorraine laughed softly there was a small forcesness in her voices as she said it, Lyra stayed quite and I focused back on the piano, knowing something like that made me remember a peace that would hopefully make her smile, I took in a deep breath and began to play,
watch?v=6MVs6JEoJXw
I pressed each key carefully not allowing myself to make any mistakes, my finger moved across the key board swiftly and my mind turned to Vinyl, I had worked on this peace while thinking of her, the way she is always able to left my spirt with nothing but her gentle touch or how her words seemed to move me in ways that were always new, I loved her... I love her so much I didn't know what I could do without her, I smiled as I continued to play and I was lost inside my own rhythm that I hadn't even heard one of them get up and come towards me, once the song was close to ending I began another,
watch?v=1kt5MdMM9u8
This one had came to me when Vinyl had first kissed me, she made my lips feel ticklish and yet at the same time it felt like a dream, though before I could go any further I felt a hand touch my shoulder and I jumped stopping my playing and looked up seeing the golden color, Lorraine? "I'm sorry, did I mess up?" I got sucked into my music again I wasn't sure if I even played correctly,
"No! not at all darling, my word Lyra told me you were talented but I never would have that you had this much talent!" Lorraine squeezed my shoulder, "Your playing mad me remember something, stay right here dear," Lorraine walked off quickly and I stayed where I was confused,
"Did I do something wrong?" I asked Lyra, as I turned around to face her,
"Holy shit Octavia, that's the first time I ever heard you play. Where did you learn that one from?" I blushed and giggled lightly,
"Those two where actually my own pieces that I came up with," I admitted as I tapped my fingers at my knee,
"OMG really?!" that's freaking awesome Octavia! I'm differently making an appointment for you to get a tattoo," Lyra bounced a little, I moved to get up but then I had seen the golden color coming back,
"That's kind of you Lyra but at least let me ask my mother first," I tapped on the stoll I was sitting on out of nerves habit,
"Mother? Are you always so formal dear?" that was Lorraine, and I felt her hand on my shoulder again, she sounded on edge, worried,
"Oh its just the way mother brought me up," what a weird question, doesn't every parent raise their children this way? It was a form of respect and a must when speaking of mother in third person.
"I see..." Lorraine sounded strange like she was disappointed or angry, she took a deep breath and let it out slowly, "Will then Octavia I have something I'd like to play for you it is a peace that I wrote with a very close friend. I want you to listen to it very carefully," Lorraine squeezed my shoulders and then moved away, I nodded my head and faced her giving her my full attention,
"Which album is it from?" I ask her as I could hear her hands move the violin testing each string,
"None of them, these pieces was created for only us to hear and no one else," I tilted my head confused, an unpublished peace?
"Umm I'm going to get the door, Bonbon here now," I could hear Lyra walk off and now it was only myself and Lorraine alone in the room, Lorrain tapped her foot on the ground four times and began to play. The melody took my breath away, it was passionate, slow and rhythmical, her feelings where pored into her violin. I could hear nothing else but Lorraine she didn't miss a single note she played as though she had played it a thousand times before, but just as quickly it had started it ended. I could feel tears falling down my cheeks and reached up whipping them away feeling embarrassed but then I heard someone else sniffle,
"That was so beautiful Lorry," that was Bonbon, and I could hear them come closer,
"Thank you sweetie, now Octavia do you think you can match that song for me?"
"What?! But I would surely ruin such a perfect work of art," me play that song? there was no way I could match that song on the piano, I felt someone grab my hands and squeeze them tightly,
"Please Octavia give it a try, I would really love to hear you match the song," Lorraine pleaded with me and all I could do was sit there feeling stumped now I could see where Lyra got her pushyness, Lorraine realsed my hands and I let them fall back on my lap.
"I'm sure you can do it Octavia, you really talented," Lyra reassured, the chairs moved again and they took their seats, these people were insane I could not believe I was being pressured to play something I have only heard once! But at the same time just maybe I will be able to, I sighed and turned to the piano and gently stroked each key making sure to not press down,
"I can try, but I can't promise it will be perfect," I mutter softly,
"Lovely!" Lorraine cheered, her personality was really taking me by surprise, I don't know why but she had always seemed professional whenever she played her violin though I suppose I couldn't say much considering I have only ever heard her play and not speak.
"Give me a moment please,"
"Of course darling take your time," I took a deep breath and pressed a few keys remembering the melody in my head and I could feel the sound coming to me and my fingers wanted to desperately play, I nodded my head and I could hear Lorraine move her violin in place and we played...
watch?v=mZapeCW_QPY
The sounds we created moved my heart to a speeding rhythm and each key that I hit would send tingles up my fingers and go start to my spin and I felt a pleasant chili as I and my favorite musician played on. How long did we play for? I can't really remember, but I played the melody with Lorraine over and over again, I already knew that I would be hearing it in my dreams tonight.

As the afternoon went on I found myself truly enjoying my freedom. I was so glad that my parents where off to their business matters, I didn't have to worry each minute that mother would come after me. Though I was still puzzled as to why mother had not been hurting me lately...maybe she felt guilty? No as if she ever would...
I was enjoying my afternoon talking with the girls and even learning more about music and Lorraine it was amazing and so exciting. I had ended up staying so late they invited me to eat with them, which I gladly accepted. Lorraine would ask me all kinds of questions while we ate through out dinner. She would ask me things like what my childhood was like, when did I first begin to study music, what kind of presents did I get for my birthday, and even some questions about my parents.
She was awfully curious about my mother most, which was difficult I had to lie to her about each one she would ask. Some of the questions would be of what she did for a living, how the marriage between my mother and father is going, and if she still plays the piano. For the last one I told her I couldn't answer her because I did not know. Lorraine was a very interesting person and I was so happy to be able to get to know her better. She much like Lyra bubble and sweet and seemed to always want to give a helping hand. Lyra was lucky to have such a wonderful mother...
"Thank you so much for having me over," I smiled
"Oh please it was such a pleasure getting to meet you Octavia," Lorraine hugged me and squeezed me tightly before letting go,"You girls make sure she gets home safely you hear" Lorraine warned Lyra and Bonbon.
"Don't worry mom Octavia's house is like 4 blocks away there no way we could get lost," Lyra laughed and I heard the door open,
"We'll make sure she get home safely Lorry no worries," Bonbon soothed, I felt her hand on mine and took a hold of it and she pulled on me gently to go out the door,
"We'll be right back around 10:00 mom see ya," Lyra called back, and the door closed, we walked for little bit more until Bonbon cheered out of no where.
"This was so much fun!" Bonbon yelled and I chuckled nodding my head, "It was so nice to be able to learn more about you Octavia!" Bonbon throw her arms around me and hugged me tightly,
"Oh umm thank you?" I laughed these girls really could be strange sometimes, they were always wanting to show their affection through touch instead of words.
"You know you haven't mentioned much about your dad," Lyra pressed, I felt her arm hook through mine, I tried to ignore the speeding rhythm in my chest, I don't even know my father all I knew was that he couldn't stand to look at me, so I've always kept my eyes cast down. I've never had a proper conversation with the man. Most of my life I did not exist to him the only time he would ever address me was when we were in public. I lived with him and knew barely anything about him the only thing I knew about him was that he listened to music in secret from my mother,
"Oh I haven't have I?" I shrug and move my cane a little quicker,
"Soo what's he like?" Lyra pushed, I reached up and twirled with my hair,
"He's like any other dad, you know basic and simple," I muttered and cleared my throat, Bonbon must have sensed how uncomfortable I was because at that moment Bonbon jumped in,
"Hey Lyra did you want to go get some cupcakes at Mr. and Mrs. Cake shop?"
"Yes! oh my god I love her cupcakes!" Lyra let go of my hand and I could hear her pounce on Bonbon, Bonbon made a small shriek when Lyra tackled her and she giggled slightly, I sighed feeling realized,
"Thank you so much for inviting me over Lyra, it was really nice,"
"No problem Octavia! It was so fun having you over," she paused and made a small huff sounds, "ah man look were already at your house," Lyra sounded disappointed, I smiled at her,
"Will there can always be another time to hang out," I assured her, we continued to walk up to my front door,
"Unless you want to come with us to the Cake's shop?" Bonbon added, I thought about it for a moment, it would be nice but I felt so stuffed from the food they had given me I didn't think I could fit more, I shook my head but smiled to make sure I wouldn't hurt their feelings.
"No thank you, but thank you for offering. I think I'll just head to bed and try calling Vinyl again," I sighed, I tried to ignore the small tug I felt on my heart at the mention of her name,
"Oh ok, will we'll see you at school on Monday and I hope Vinyl calls you back, she shouldn't make you worry about her like this," Bonbon's hand stroked my shoulder as she pulled me towards her and hugged me tightly. I returned the hug awkwardly and felt Lyra hug me from behind and I felt like a sandwich being smootherd between the two. Though just as quickly they let me go me,
"See you Monday," I smiled at them and unlocked the front door to my home, I could hear them walk off and chat amgainst themselves as they left. Today had gone will and it was most defiantly fun though my mind would continue to wonder about Vinyl. She had not answered me at all day and something felt wrong. Thinking about her I pulled out my phone and held down on the home button, "Call Vinyl"
calling Vinyl Scratch
I listened to the other end ring as I closed the front door and locked it, I pulled the phone away from my ear slightly to hear if Alice was in the house but yet I could hear nothing I was alone. That was strange I was sure that she would be waiting around the corner to pounce me, I heard Vinyl's voice through the phone and my heart quickly reacted but only to be disappointed that it was a recording,
Yo! sorry I couldn't answer, I'm more then likely blastin my tunes or working on some sick bass lines, but leave a message and maybe I'll get back to ya I laughed softly to myself, what a silly recording though hearing her voice put my heart at ease. Soon enough a beep followed after the recording taking me a bit by surprises,
"Hi Vinyl, I was just calling you to see how you are doing? I have sent you some messages but I guess you must be busy because you haven't answered me at all, but don't get me wrong I understand that you are not able to get to your phone." Good god I am bubbling whatever is coming to mind, I shook my head, "Any ways... call me back? I am starting to worry about you, I'll be waiting Vinyl," I feel a pinch at my throat as I hung up the phone, I leaned against the back of the door holding the my phone against my chest, something felt wrong but what in the world was it? No... maybe it was only in my head, I must be overthinking I shouldn't be so needy and selfish for Vinyl's attention. I sighed and moved off the door and began making my way to my room.
My cane seemed to echo around the empty house as I moved it around, there where no sounds whats so every it felt kind of scary. I found myself listening intensely for my phone to ring but it wouldn't ring and the more I focused on it the more longer it felt to hope for any kind of sound. Before I even knew it, I was inside my room and I felt confused for a brief moment like I had ran to my room instead of my steady pass. I shook my head, "what does it matter? I'm here now I think I'll shower and head to bed," I yawned and walked to my bed and plugged in my phone to charge as I went to the bathroom to wash off,
I finished my shower feeling refreshed and walked quickly to my phone to check for any messages or calls, but yet again I was disappointed when the phone told me there was nothing to check. " Breath Octavia, you are worrying way to much I'm sure everything is fine. I'll try again tomorrow," I whispered, and curled up into my covers and found to my delight that I could smell Vinyl's scent on one of my pillows from where she had layed her head, I baried my face into the pillow and pushed away the pinching feeling in my throat and fell asleep. My dreams had but a single color it was a very plain gray surrounded by a murky blackness and the gray color was all alone with no other color to dance with...

A month has gone by and I have not heard a single word from Vinyl. The last time that we have spoke was the night when we first made love and that was it. I had tried over and over again to speak with Vinyl in school but instead I only learn that she was hiding from me. I spoke with Lyra and Bonbon but both of them didn't understand what was going on with her either, but that she still hung out with them anyways.
Even in the classes that Vinyl and I shared she would not even greet me with a good morning or a Hello she only sat in class and when the bell would ring she would be gone in a instant. I had to take the first step and say hello to her but she would ignore me even without my eye sight I knew she would not even look at me.
I would still go to the music room and play my melody's but that door never opened. It would only be myself in the music room, playing the cello over and over again playing sweet and kind sounds hoping that Vinyl could be just on the other side of the door but yet I could feel my hope crumble to ash. I would stay late in the music room for longer then I should, until mother would call screaming bloody murder on the other line, demanding where the devils I was. And I would run to the car, mother would slap me across the face for making her wait, though it wouldn't end there no a slap was nothing but a tickle of a feather to my mother. When we would get home mother would use the whip to stick against my back until she grower tired or when she broke through my skin and then tell Alice to care for my wounds. I can decently remember just how much Alice was enjoying the abuse I would resive, I couldn't understand how she could enjoy such treatment until I choice to look it up on the internet and discovered she was a Sadist which I found disgusting.
But the worsts wound I was punished with was when two weeks ago after mother and father came home from another business trip , Mother grabbed my hair and shoved my down to my knees, she grabbed something made of melt and burned me across the back of my thighs. The pain was horrific to the point I was limping for a few days, the school had even pulled me aside to ask what was wrong, of course I lied and said I had been attacked by a dog. I didn't know if they believed me or not but all the same they had left me alone once more. On that day something with the business must have gone wrong for her to be so angry, what it was I will have no idea, nor would I dare ask her.
Though what hurt me most was the fact that Vinyl had moved on to a different girl, some girl named Berry. The name sounded familiar for some reason but I just couldn't remember where I had heard it from. I couldn't help but believe what Alice had told me, that Vinyl was a whore though I didn't enjoy using the term I would prefer to say she was unfaithful. Though either way it did not change the meaning to it, Vinyl had cheated on me and felt no guilt for it she moved on like it was nothing more then a game...
Yet today was no different I stayed behind after school and played the piano. Though by this point I have now given up any chances of Vinyl coming to see me. She has betrayed me, I have given her my world, opened my heart, and choose to trust her. Yet she turns around and takes my heart with her, nor longer do I exist to her I am nothing more then another girl in class.
I didn't understand why she would hurt me this way, what on earth have I done to make her not want anything to do with me? When she said she loved me, was it a lie? A way for me to let down my walls and allow her to enter? My hands stop playing and they linger above the key board, I shook my head roughly, "enough Octavia she's left you, you are nothing to her, stop thinking she will come back to you," I whispered softly and slam the key board all at once creating a dreadful sound to echo in the empty room. I kept the sound going until my ears began to ring and then quickly moved into a melody that was inspired from my sadness,

I pressed the keys roughly not caring that the sound was off that it could be noticeable to the untrained ear. I wanted to think of nothing else and the only thing that could numb my mind was music. I had to force myself to forget how it was music was what brought Vinyl to me from the first place, other whys I would stop playing and yet I refused to allow Vinyl to take my love for music as well. I'd be damn to stop my playing for her, I switched to a new song once more,

The rhythm of the music tingled through out my body, spiraling through my vain and up my spine down my arms until it reached my finger tips and combined with the keys in front of me. I played on ignoring everything around me, I wanted to drown myself in the sound and forget all of my pain. But before I could completely immerge myself in the sound of my playing my phone went off, I sighed as my world came to an end and I had to come back to reality, I sat at the piano a little longer before answering my phone and closing the lid of the piano. "I am on my way mother, I am sorry I had to ask a teacher for help on an assignment, I will be right there," I got up from my seat and with my cane in hand and I made my way out of the music room.
"You would hope it was your mother calling wouldn't you Lady Melody," Alice? what the hell is she doing calling me?
"Why the he-"
"Your mother had an appointment with one of her clients and with the way you are being lately making her late for almost everything, she didn't want to miss these training section," Alice interpreted, training?
"What do you mean training? Don't you mean lessons?" I pushed as I locked the music room door and headed down the hall way, Alice giggled,
"There the same thing, does it really matter what term I use?" She sounded off, not like her usual annoying behavior,
"Training is a term you use for someone you train in a work place," I corrected her, something was off here or was I simple over thinking things? It must be in my head there was no way anything was goin on.
"Do hurry Lady Melody, I'm getting quite board of waiting for you," damn the women, can she think of no one but herself? I pushed the front doors open and head outside rushing myself slightly, not that I wanted to hurry to her side but I knew she would lie to mother saying I kept her waiting for an hour or something,
"Enough Alice, I am right here there is no need for you to rush me," I growled into the phone, I hung up the phone not wanting to hear her any more then I already have to, I couldn't hear the car running, she must have parked the car, impassionate wench. I move quickly and my cane goes off the edge of the side walk and I continue to move forward paying no mind to what was around me,
"Lady Melody! Watch out!" That was Alice voice's, watch out for what? But then I could hear it a car to my right was speeding and it was not slowing down what so ever, I froze in shook and fear I trembled and I squeezed my eyes shut waiting for the impact of the car to hit me, this was going to be the end of me... the wheels to the car screeched like it was slamming on its breaks or it had jerked the wheel but I could still hear it moving towards me. Danm my life!
"Octavia!" A gust of wind fellow past me and the air shoved my hair back and caused me to shiver, the car that passed had missed me I could hear the engine turn off and other people shouting, I could even hear Alice's trembling calls of concerns. But I couldn't hear what they were saying exactly, I could only feel warmth, a warm wonderful sensation that covered my face and encircled my waist. A scent of fresh cinnamon and Carmel tickled my nose, my face was bared into a pair of bosoms, I knew this smell anywhere... I pushed back slightly to open my eyes and sure enough what greeted me was the colors of white and blue,
"Vinyl..." I whispered, her arms where still around my waist and holding me against her tightly, I could feel tears spilling over my cheeks as I felt her warmth on my skin. I had forgotten my built up hatred for her, abanding me, for leaving me alone in the dark, and pretending I did not exist all from a simple hug. I wanted to bary myself into her again, but before I could even hold on to her she moved away letting go and I could hear her running off once again. I stood there confused out of my mind. Alice was in front of me yelling at me if I was ok and a male voice that was speaking so quickly I couldn't make out his words. No, I was not able to focus on any of it, instead I was stuck on the feeling of her warmth leaving my body and the sound of her voice that had whispered into my ear,
"I'm sorry," at least that is what I thought I heard... Or was it all in my head? The part of my that pushed me into believing that Vinyl still cared for me, could that part of me actually be right?
