Hi, guys...
It's six thirty in the morning and I haven't sleep, so you can guess that I am extremelly slow today. Besides, a cat ran away from me when I was trying to feed and pet it... I'm not that scary, am I? -Don't answer that!-
Now, this chapter isn't much of a chapter itself, it's a song chapter, ok? The video for this song is http: /www . youtube . com/ watch?v=cvLNRO41o64 , definetely a song you guys know. I hope you enjoy it and use a lot of your creativety. That is important here... Uh, I forgot what I was going to say... Uh... Ok, fine... Ah! I'm cold! ... Holy crap, I'm not making any sense, am I?
Ok, I'll shut up and let you read. Enjoy!
Chapter 21
It was late afternoon and most of the students, or almost every single one were out on their way home, so when Mr. Schuester walked down the corridor to close the only room remaining open, the choir room, he didn't expect to hear music coming from inside it. Approaching carefully not to disturb the beautiful melody he recognized as 'Total eclipse of the heart', a song Rachel sang last year after her failure in trying a bad reputation, he saw it was a boy who was playing the piano so evenly like he'd done it his entire life and the keys were his friends. The lights were off so the boy was partially hidden in the shadows, but forcing his eyes a bit more, he saw that the boy playing was one of his Glee Kids and to his surprise it was, of all, none other than Mike Chang, the still quietest guy in the group.
The teacher noticed Mike had his eyes closed and seemed in trance as though his mind was somewhere else linked with another far away. His movement was so fluidly even more than when he was really enjoying a dance. And finally, before any word was uttered from the boy, Will could sense all the feelings emanating from him. It was so strong he could say he could touch it if he stretched his hands. Then Mike began to sing, sing how he never had done before and the man simply couldn't get away from there. It was a private moment, he knew, but at the same time, after he had entered the surrounding space of the scene, he couldn't get away either.
But of all, the most incredible thing from this scene was that coming out of his best dancer was another voice that didn't belong to him, though it was familiar, very familiar. It took some time, but he realized it was his former student, Matt Rutherford's voice. And he wondered what kind of link these two boys had?
[Matt]Turn around
[Mike]Every now and then I get a little bit lonely and you're never coming round
[Matt]Turn around
[Mike]Every now and then I get a little bit tired of listening to the sounds of my tears
[Matt]Turn around
[Mike]Every now and then I get a little bit nervous that the best of all the years have gone by
[Matt]Turn around
[Mike]Every now and then I get a little bit terrified and then I see the look in your eyes
[Matt]Turn around, bright eyes
[Mike]Every now and then, I fall apart
[Matt]Turn around, bright eyes
[Mike]Every now and then, I fall apart
[Matt]Turn around
[Mike]Every now and then I get a little bit restless and I dream of something wild
[Matt]Turn around
[Mike]Every now and then I get a little bit helpless and I'm lying like a child in your arms
[Matt]Turn around
[Mike]Every now and then I get a little bit angry and I know I've got to get out and cry
[Matt]Turn around
[Mike]Every now and then I get a little bit terrified but then I see the look in your eyes
[Mike]Turn around, bright eyes
[Matt]Every now and then, I fall apart
[Mike]Turn around, bright eyes
[Matt]Every now and then, I fall apart
[Both]And I need you now tonight
And I need you more than ever
And if you'll only hold me tight
We'll be holding on forever
And we'll only be making it right
'Cause we'll never be wrong
Together we can take it to the end of the line
Your love is like a shadow on me all of the time
[Mike]I don't know what to do and I'm always in the dark
[Both]We're living in a powder keg and giving off sparks
I really need you tonight
Forever's gonna start tonight
Forever's gonna start tonight
Once upon a time I was falling in love
But now I'm only falling apart
There's nothing I can do
A total eclipse of the heart
[Matt]Once upon a time there was light in my life
[Both]But now there's only love in the dark
Nothing I can say
A total eclipse of the heart
[Matt]Turn around, bright eyes
[Mike]Turn around, bright eyes
Turn around
[Matt]Every now and then I know you'll never be the boy you always wanted to be
Turn around
[Mike]Every now and then I know you'll always be the only boy who wanted me the way I am
Turn around
[Matt]Every now and then I know there's no one in the universe as magical and wondrous as you
[Both]Turn around
Every now and then I know there's nothing any better and there's nothing I just wouldn't do
Turn around, bright eyes
Every now and then, I fall apart
Turn around, bright eyes
Every now and then, I fall apart
And I need you now tonight
And I need you more than ever
And if you'll only hold me tight
We'll be holding on forever
And we'll only be making it right
'Cause we'll never be wrong
Together we can take it to the end of the line
Your love is like a shadow on me all of the time
[Mike]I don't know what to do and I'm always in the dark
[Both]We're living in a powder keg and giving off sparks
I really need you tonight
Forever's gonna start tonight
Forever's gonna start tonight
Once upon a time I was falling in love
But now I'm only falling apart
Nothing I can do
A total eclipse of the heart
[Matt]Once upon a time there was light in my life
[Both]But now there's only love in the dark
Nothing I can say
A total eclipse of the heart
A total eclipse of the heart
A total eclipse of the heart
The last note sounded and Mr. Schuester waited silently as Mike came back to reality, got up, grabbed his things by the legs of the piano and walked out of the room through the other door. For the man, the boy looked like he had the strongest truth just shoved in his face and was terrified, sad and loving it at the same time.
As for him, he had tears falling down his cheeks like all the feelings he was just exposed to were his. It was such an anguish that solidified like a hand gripping his heart mercilessly, a longing for a feeling he always had around and now was beyond his reach and if possible, it was like an ocean crushing his soul to its depths. And even though, it seemed just like there was the purest prettier love anyone could ever ask for.
Maybe, most probably, the two quietest guys he would ever teach were going to have a lot of problems in their life beyond his imagination.
That's it and I'm still sleepy. So... Review! =D
