My Immortal
Chapter 10
"On the behalf of the Academy's Cheerleading club, I'd like to thank you all for coming out today." Blythe Adieux smiled out to the crowd of students, outside of their school uniforms. Most of them she didn't recognize, she hadn't been there too long, but those she did were equally as pleased to see her as she was them. For her first event in an entirely new country, her hopes were high for success. She was just as much as a perfectionist as Everleigh tended to be. "I haven't been here too long, but I have never felt so welcomed in my life. And one of the first friends I've made here has decided to perform a little song for you guys."
The group of people before the small platform seemed to go wild, they were no strangers to the talent the original foreigner had. Some, if not all, enjoyed the music she wrote just for the hell of it. Yuma, by this point, had stopped what he was doing to look onto the crowd. He wasn't big on crowded places, they made him uneasy, but Kou insisted on that too. Said something about the girl speaking, Kou didn't bother with names wither those days (he was never with anyone long enough anyway), looked good enough to fuck. Yuma, on the other hand, was seconds away from leaving (there was a sweet booth with his name all over it), when Everleigh suddenly appeared at the cheerleader's side.
She was smiling that airy, charismatic smile of hers, bashful like always. She was wearing a pair jean shorts and a sweater Yuma guessed had to belong to Shu because it hung loosely off her shoulders. Her scent was carried over to him by a gentle breeze, not that he needed it, he knew her smell anywhere. He inhaled deeply, savoring the girl's essence. It all but made his mouth water.
Blythe briefly said a few kind words about the girl she considered her friend, before passing the microphone off to her.
"This song," Everleigh smiled, pointing out into the group of faces. It didn't take much effort to spot Shu. "Is for the love of my life, Shu Sakamaki."
I got myself a notion
One I know that you'll understand
To set the world in motion
By reaching out for each other's hand
Maybe we'll discover what we should have known all along
One way or another together's where we both belong
If we listen to each other's heart
We'll find we're never too far apart
And maybe love is the reason why
For the first time ever we're seeing it eye to eye
If a wall should come between us
To high to climb, to hard to break through
I know that love will lead us
And find a way to bring me to you
So don't be in a hurry. Think before you count us out.
You don't have to worry, I won't ever let you down
Yuma kicked up his feet as he sat comfortably in his spot, transfixed by the so called show. There was just something about Everleigh that set her aside from everyone else. Behind the voice, behind the track star, behind the royal title, behind her rather obvious strengths? Yuma saw the girl, the socially awkward contradiction underneath. He saw someone whom he had a connection with, someone who could grow to love him and all his flaws with time. And since they were all immortal, all they had was time. Yuma was willing to wait… Everleigh was well worth all his effort.
But how would he make it work? How could he even get himself to cross her thoughts when she was singing happy, sappy love songs about Shu?
If we listen to each other's heart
We'll find we're never too far apart
And maybe love is the reason why
For the first time ever we're seeing it eye to eye
If you're ever lonely, stop. You don't have to be
After all is stolen, I'll beat a way from you to me
TAKE A LOOK INSIDE AND SEE (YEAH)
If we listen to each other's heart
We'll find we're never too far apart
And maybe love is the reason why
For the first time ever we're seeing it eye to eye
Shu.
Shu.
What the hell did she see in him anyway? What made Shu so special? These questions and more ran through his mind as she seemed to take the stage in slow motion in Yuma's dark eyes, the boy slowly growing angry . And for once, he didn't know why.
And As Everleigh finished her piece, those around him clapping and cheering loudly,basking in what was the tealette, Yuma vowed that he'd do whatever it took to make her his.
