Chapter 12

"Give in to the temptation...whooooooo." I said in a "spooky" voice.

He just ignored me. Fine. Be an asshole. I went back to the keyboard and began to play again, keeping my eye on Tommy and Kwest trying to wedge the door open. Good luck, buttmunches.

I began to sing again, going off into my zone, this time making it almost all the way through.

Here I am unseen
You look through me unaffected
So stand beside me and don't deny me
And help me find my way
All alone I stand
Looking in at your world
So hold me, break me
And mold me, make me
Fit where I belong
When all I trying to find
Is right before my eyes
Here I am

When I zoned back into the present, Tommy was in front of me, looking sad.

"Whatisit?" I asked.

He shook his head, now looking semi-amused. "Jude, that's beautiful."

"Aren't I good?"

He leaned down, his lips just above mine, and whispered. "Yes..."

And that's when the lights went back on.
