Chapter 5: Another Gig, but Without Him
Trent and her family insisted that Kira still sing so she would at least keep doing that made her and Connor happy.
As Kira got ready for a gig, she thought of when she and Connor first moved in and when things were almost put away.
(Flashback)
Kira sighed as she finished cleaning up the kitchen. She jumped when Connor wrapped his arms around her waist and kissed her neck. "Don't you start," she laughed. She pulled from his arms and went to put the rest of the dishes away.
"Come on, Kira. I can't help that I'm now living with the most beautiful girl in the world," he laughed.
Kira laughed and threw the dishcloth at her boyfriend only to have him duck. "You're going to pay for that," he commented.
"Oh, yeah, how are you going to make me pay?" She asked.
Kira shrieked when he started chasing after her. She then fell on the couch and he pinned her down. "I've got you," he announced.
"I can see that," she commented.
She tried to fight him off only to have him kiss her. When he pulled from the kiss, he helped her sit up. "Here," he told her. He handed her, her guitar.
"What do you want me to do?" She asked.
"What do you think? I want you to sing," he replied.
Kira smiled and started singing.
And it goes like this-
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah
I can't tell you why
But I can't stop thinking about you baby
Oh yeah
Don't you think it's time
I walked around every word you're saying
Oh yeah
(Yeah)
Trying hard to figure out
Tell me what it's all about
Cause I don't want to freak you out
Freak you out
Freak you out
I want to know
Know where you're at
I'm at the front
But baby you're still at the back
Connor wrapped his arms around her waist and listened to her song.
(End Flashback)
Trent then peeked into the room. "Kira, they're ready," he informed. Kira nodded before going out onstage.
She took a deep breath and held her guitar as she started to talk. "As you all know, Connor McKnight, the pro-soccer player, has been injured in a car crash. Tonight, I will be singing a song that means a lot to me and it meant a lot to him. This is for you, Connor," she sighed.
Looking back I don't regret
One single day
Memories will keep me close
When you walk away
It's harder than I could imagine
Guess I should have known that
Close your eyes, I'll be there
I'll come running anywhere
Say goodbye, I'll be okay
I will wait for you 'cause
True love will never fade
When it's real you can feel it
And I know, that you know
That I will keep on waiting faithfully
Patiently for you
Stormy Tuesday afternoons haven't been the same
I used to stand outside and taste the sweetness of them
It's harder when it really happens
Oh I wish I'd known that
Close my eyes and you're there
But I can't find you anywhere
Say goodbye I'll be okay
I will wait for you cause, true love will never fade
When it's real you can feel it
And I know, that you know
That I will keep on waiting patiently
Patiently for you
Oh I'm lost
I try to find you
Turn around
I'm right behind you
Say goodbye I'll be okay
I will wait for you cause, true love will never fade
When it's real you can feel it
And I know, that you know
That I will keep on waiting faithfully
Patiently for you
Say goodbye I'll be okay
I will wait for you cause, true love will never fade
When it's real you can feel it
And I know, that you know
That I will keep on waiting patiently
Patiently for you
As Kira sang that song, she thought of Connor. The thought of never seeing him again broke her heart. After singing that song, she got offstage and wanted to go home. It was her last song for the night so she was able to leave.
