A New Beginning
Chapter Four: Listen to Your Heart
Disclaimer: I remember that when I first started reading fics nobody had this things, now everything has changed, well, whatever, I don't own anything but the characters of Briseida and Jack Thomas, and I also own this story, which is parallel to the tv series which I do not own. I appreciate reviews, which I'm receiving a quite few
Thanks to shivering smile for reading! I'm from Argentina but I know a few people from Peru cuz I lived in the US for a while (actually I'm still living but I'm going home in a few days lol)
Which should not worry anybody cuz I'm gonna keep updating!
Disclaimer 2: it's 2:00 AM and I just got an inspirational rush from the Listen To Your Heart" song from Roxette (actually from the cover by D.H.T. which is slower than the older version)
Disclaimer 3: this chapter is sort of song fic, which is likely to not happen again, so if you like it I'm sorry… and if you don't well you can be happy
Disclaimer 4: there's going to be more romance in this chapter, the action will come in a while and you'll understand why!
Disclaimer 5: I'm starting to feel like a real writer for the series with this whole mystery situation that I'm loving!
Anyways here we go…!
Oh! And disclaimer 6: I do not own the song "listen to your heart" I love it but I do not own it!

Chapter Four: Listen to Your Heart
I know there's something in the wake of your smile.
I get a notion from the look in your eyes, yea.
You've built a love but that love falls apart.
Your little piece of heaven turns too dark.
Two weeks have gone by since Briseida Thomas moved to Blake Holsey High and she met the science club. Two weeks and more have gone by since she last spoke to her dad. She doesn't miss him. One week has gone by since the last time she had one of her situations. One week since Lucas shares her secret. One week since she realized she is in love with him. Two weeks since Josie's clone has decided to ruin the destiny of the vortex.
Three days and three days only since Z's explained Briseida's amnesia to the science club. Three days since he worries about his niece's health. One day since Briseida decided she wanted to stop her problems. One day since she called the psychologist and canceled her meetings for good. One day since her dad almost had a heart attack because of that. One day since he decided to not talk to his daughter anymore. One day since Briseida started living again.
Listen to your heart
when he's calling for you.
Listen to your heart
there's nothing else you can do.
I don't know where you're going
and I don't know why,
but listen to your heart
before you tell him goodbye.
Bri, was now her nickname, Lucas made it up, he didn't know and neither did Briseida that her mother used to call her that way. She was playing the piano and singing. Nobody knew she could sing. Vaughn and Josie were holding hands and Marshall had his arm around Corrine's waist. Lucas was standing, mesmerized by the image.
Sometimes you wonder if this fight is worthwhile.
The precious moments are all lost in the tide, yea.
They're swept away and nothing is what is seems,
the feeling of belonging to your dreams.
Bri was singing her favourite song, in front of the people who were now her friends. For the first time in a long time she felt happy, for the first time ever she felt she belonged. She didn't care anymore about skating, she only cared about enjoying and living that one moment.
And there are voices
that want to be heard.
So much to mention
but you can't find the words.
The scent of magic,
the beauty that's been
when love was wilder than the wind
She finished singing and Josie said Vaughn, let's go for a walk
Sure, you can walk me to my football practice answered him and Josie laughed
Yeah right and then I'll befriend Madison and become a cheerleader Now everybody laughed.
I have to help Marshall with his extra credit project for Spanish added Corrine
Oh yeah! That's ciertoright said Marshall on a really poor Spanish
Now I know why you need help…joked Bri
Well excuse me Miss Bilingual
At least I'm not failing
She got you there Marshall laughed Vaughn
Let's go Vaughn said Josie
Ok, see ya guys Vaughn and Josie left the room
We better go too Marshall added Corrine pulling him out
Nah… let's stay a while longer
Marshall, walk said Corrine pushing him out of the music room and closing the door behind
So… said Bri Why didn't you go anywhere on the long weekend? I heard your dad wanted to go fishing
No, he couldn't make it at the end, he had some business meetings, besides everybody else was staying.
Bri smiled, she knew why they stayed, Z had to go on a teacher's conference and Lucas didn't want to leave her alone, specially after what happened.
Lucas, I need to talk to you
About what?
Let's go for a walk, this may take a while
They stepped outside, it was cold and windy, it looked like it was about to rain, but they still left. After they had walked for a few minutes Bri broke the silence and said sitting down on the grass:
I know you heard me in the bathroom
He looked at her, yes he heard her, and he knew what was going on.
Flashback
Vomiting sounds
Bri are you ok? Asked Lucas when he came into the girl's room and heard the noises from the bathroom.
Yeah I'm fine she answered I'm just brushing my teeth
He knew she was lying. Ok, we're not going to have a science meeting today, so we're going to play cards on mine and Marshall's room, do you want to come?
Sure, I'll be there in a few minutes
Are you sure you're ok? You don't sound ok
yeah, I'm just having really bad cramps she lied to him again, it broke her heart, but there was no choice. She knew that if she brought him into her troubles he would leave her.
She appeared on the room a while after, she was pale and look like she was going to faint. They played cards for a while, and when she tried to get up to leave her knees failed. Lucas stood up quickly and catch her. For a second, their faces were so close he could feel and smell her breath. It was acid, he knew what was going on, but still he couldn't say a word. That was a week ago.
End of Flashback
Yeah, I did
I'm going to tell you the truth but you can't tell anybody promise?
I promise said Lucas
ok, three years ago my mum, sister and I were in a car accident while we were going to one of my figure skating competitions. We got hit by a big truck, mum and Ariadna, my twin were on the front so they got killed, I got really hurt, I broke my leg so bad I thought I could never skate again. But that's not the problem. I got something called psychological amnesia. I can't remember anything about my mum or sister, not because my brain got hurt on the accident, but because it really hurt when they told me they died, so my brain needed to protect itself, so it blocked every memory of them.
I'm sorry Lucas said when he saw her going red
That's not the end, after that my dad and I never got along, and I couldn't figure skate, I started feeling really sad, and at some point I fell into depression, that's when I started vomiting, that was two years ago, now I'm better, sometimes I slip, but I'm doing a lot of progress
I'm sure, and you know you've got all the help I can give you he passed his arms around her, she left herself fall into that hug.
They looked at each other for a moment and then, Lucas slowly with his thumb pushed her chin to his lips and kissed her. In that exact moment the rain began to fall. The janitor was picking up trash nearby and said really softly
Everything is going according the plan, now everything is going to be just fine
From the other side a black shadow that was watching dissapear quickly
You won't get away with this, you won't change destiny said the janitor again before running inside.
Well…. It's 3:00 AM, my neck hurts, but thanks to starbucks I don't feel tired… at all!
I know this is real romance, but the Lucas/Briseida relationship plays a big part on the plot of the story.
Anyways you can thank Orlando Bloom and Johnny Depp for keeping me awake (I'm watching pirates of the Caribbean, which I extremely recommend)
Oh… and about the whole kissing thing, I took it out from my first kiss, don't let yourselves get carried away, the scene was romantic, but the guy was NOTHING like Lucas unfortunately. Now leave reviews! Thanks!
