CHAPTER 6
A SIMPLE RED ROSE
"Yuna girl! Where the hell are you?" Rikku was screaming into her phone.
"Yuna, it's time" Kyle whispered into her ear.
Yuna nodded absently, and smiled into the receiver. "You'll see soon enough." She hung up, and walked onto the stage to huge applause. Rikku was there. She wasn't looking at her. She was looking desperately around her. Yuna grinned and hit the re-dial button. Rikku picked up immediately. "Look up." She ordered. Rikku did, and then gasped. Yuna grinned playfully and hung up, waving the mobile at her.
She stepped up to the mike. "Uh… hi." She said timidly. The crowd cheered. She smiled feeling a little more confident. "I just want to say thanks to all of you who've showed up. As you know all the money goes to the people who've been affected by Hurricane Katrina-" more cheers. "And I want to especially thank a few people personally who've turned up. First I'd like to thank Rikku…" she looked down at Rikku who was staring at her with her mouth open. "And Lulu… thanks for coming, it means a lot to me." Next she looked at Tidus. "And even though it wasn't your own choice to come, thanks anyway Tidus. And Tidus' little sister." "And last I'd like to-" she stopped short. There in the back she had spotted Wakka. Who was grinning crazily, and next to him – Squall.
Although she wasn't exactly happy to see Squall, she thought it would be kind of cruel to not mention him. "Last I'd like to thank Wakka for coming; I know that you don't actually like this type of music, thanks anyways. And um, yeah, you too Squall I guess. And sorry for punching you. Well, no not really but yeah. I thought I owed you an apology…"
Some people were grinning appreciatively. Yuna decided it was enough. "Right. Er… that's all."
The rest of the band struck up the music and she new which song it was. She readied the mike, and started singing.
There are places I remember
All my life, though some have changed
Some for ever, not for better
And some have gone and some remained.
She looked at Rikku while she was singing.
All these places had their moments,
With lovers and friends I still can recall
Some are dead and some are living,
In my life I loved them all
Still looking at Rikku.
But of all these friends and lovers
Still no one compares with you
Now she was looking dead ahead of her.
And these memories loose their meaning,
When I think of love as something new
No I will never lose affection
For people and things that went before.
Still staring ahead of her.
I'll often stop and think about them
In my life, I owe you more.
In my life, I love you more.
The song ended and people clapped enthusiastically. Yuna smiled as she saw Tidus clapping along with the rest.
You owe me a rose
A simple red rose
A rose with petals of silk
Petals of silk…
Petals of silk…
As years fly past
And memories wither
All I ever wanted
Was us together
Together
Together
One rose
For love
One rose
For trust
One rose
For us
Roses
Roses
You said
You promised
One rose
Just one rose
All I wanted was a rose
A simple red rose
The rose you never gave me…
She looked at Tidus as she sang the last line. She couldn't think. It was the only thing to do to get rid of her thoughts. Sing. Once she started, she couldn't stop. It was her life. She loved the people clapping, singing along at the chorus, the happy expressions on their faces. It was what she lived for.
She barely registered the rest of the concert; she was so focused on singing.
"Last song for today." She said into the mike, and the crowd seemed to all slump their shoulders at the same time. It was quite impressive from Yuna's view. All of a sudden everyone goes #slump#. "And maybe for this year. But I'll be back next year, I promise." The crowd rectified itself.
Holding the mike in both her hands, whose nails were now painted white to match her outfit, she sang the first song she'd ever written. It was the song she sand at every concert, and it was always the last one.
These feelings I never felt before
They just revealed a door
Not looking at Tidus.
A world opened up to be
A world I can't describe
It's all I see, it's all just me
Something I can't imbibe
Not looking at Tidus.
Have you ever wondered what's life about?
How hard I try, just can't figured out
Oh my, you wonder what's wrong me
I say,
I simply dunnoooooo
Would it be all right to look at Tidus?
My feet leave the ground
Stomach jolts within the time
Head spins round and round
Feelings so sublime
Definitely not. I mean he is hot, but still… I do kinda have a reputation to hold.
My friend's wonder
Say I've changed
And a girl's gotta have some pride, right?
Don't seem so somber
Don't seem estranged
Couldn't I sneak a peek though?
I know the answer
Definitely no
To my friend's thoughts
I know why, why I'm free
I took time to realize
But I think
I think, I think
But if I don't look at him he might think it's NOT about him
Have you ever wondered what's life about?
How hard I try, just can't figured out
Oh my, you wonder what's wrong me
I say
I knoooooooowwww
But is it actually about him?
I'M SORRY
I'M IN LOVE
Okay, even if it is, I am NOT looking at him now! That would be totally humiliating!
I'M SORRY
FOR WHO I AM
Maybe look at him now? No. It's too soon.
I'M SORRY
THAT IT'S TRUE
What about now? Oh God, I don't dare.
I'M SORRY
THAT I LIED
If I looked now, it means I lied to him. Which I didn't.
I'M JUST SOOOOOO SORRRRRRYYYYY
Come on Yuna! Time is running out!
BUT I CANT CHANGE ME NOW
But the lyrics are un-appropriate
IT'S JUST TOO BLOODY LATE
ALL I WANT FROM YOOUUUUU
IS YOUR STEERING HAND
And if I look at him now he will think I am in love with him!
AND TO GUIDE MEEE PLEASE
Am I?
DOWN A CHOSEN PATHHHH
In love with him I mean?
OF LOOOOOVEEE
Great. Simply great. You stupid coward.
Applause rang, and Yuna smiled, waved good bye and fled, before even sparing a glance in Tidus´ direction. She changed hurriedly and left through the back door with a hasty good-bye to her band, all oh whom congratulated her, telling her she'd done better than any other concert she'd ever sang at. I wonder why that is? Yuna thought sarcastically. Maybe because of a certain person we know?
She didn't know why she was so mad at herself. Big deal. She hadn't looked at Tidus. So what? It's not like she liked him. She'd only known him for a day! Why did she have to look at him? She wasn't going to. It wasn't a good idea to see him any time soon. He might think she liked him! As more than just a friend! It's not like he'd ever like her. She'd stick to her plan. Avoid Tidus at all costs. Not look at him.
"Yuna."
She recognised that voice. It was Tidus' voice. Don't look at him. He doesn't exist. He is just a mere fragment of your imagination.
She turned and looked at him. He was holding a rose. A single red rose. A rose with petals of silk.
And the chappy is already finished! Please review!
