Thank you so much to my wonderful, supportive reviewers. Just know that I sincerely appreciate all your kind comments and constructive criticisms.
I'm trying to get the chapters out as often as possible, and I'm sorry I'm so, so, SO late with this one, but I've once again gotten somewhat lost on the confusing path of life.
Also, for some reason, I can't stand this darn song. I almost wanted to cut it out completely. But alas, here it is…probably the shortest and most confusing and hateful song in the entire show.
If you haven't already, please read the list of Important Notes in Chapter 1.
CAST LIST for Chapter 14
Yusuke: Roger Davis (guitarist; former junkie; HIV positive)
Keiko: Mimi Marquez (exotic dancer; junkie; HIV positive)
Enjoy and please review!
…………………
It was snowing. Yusuke grasped at Keiko's hands. Suddenly, understandably and yet unexplainably, everything was different.
"I should tell you I'm disaster," Yusuke sang. "I forget how to begin it."
"Let's just make this part go faster," responded Keiko. "I have yet to be in it. I should tell you…"
"I should tell you…"
"I should tell you…"
"I should tell you…"
Keiko smiled. "I should tell I blew the candle out just to get back in."
Yusuke grinned back at her. "I'd forgotten how to smile—until your candle burned my skin."
"I should tell you…"
"I should tell you…"
"I should tell you…"
They both sang, "I should tell—well, here we go. Now we—"
Keiko said, "Oh no…" She let go of his hands and walked a few paces away.
Yusuke shook his head. "I know—this something is—here goes."
"Here goes," Keiko echoed.
"Guess so—it's starting to—who knows?"
"Who knows?" agreed Keiko.
"Who knows where?" they sang in unison. "Who goes there? Who knows?—here goes!"
They grabbed each other's hands once again. "Trusting desire—starting to learn! Walking through fire without a burn! Clinging—a shoulder, a leap begins. Stinging and older, asleep on pins. So here we go. Now we—"
This time, Yusuke hesitated. "Oh no."
"I know," Keiko said soothingly.
"Oh no."
They sang, "Who knows where? Who goes there? Here goes—here goes. Here goes—here goes. Here goes—here goes…"
Yusuke leaned in, and they kissed briefly. He then led her inside where it was warm.
