Okay guys, let's move on to the next chapter!
And here I am going to do something different with this musical chapter. Rather than the characters singing, instead they are just going to do the actions associated with the song, and imagine the song sang by the actual band.
This is something entirely new for me, but I like to try new and different things every once in awhile to liven things up, so if it's bad and does not make any sense, than sorry in advance!
Chapter 6: Don't Runaway
As Alex and Lily both woke up the next day, refreshed, but also deeply sad inside, they processed to do their normal morning routine as always as they thought about each other. It was extremely painful for them as they cried inside, doing their best to suppress any actual tears. They were determined to never let each other be separated by anything that can break them apart. However they both knew the amount of heartaches they would cause if their secret ever got out.
You and me are hell-bent on heartbreak
No matter what ya say
Won't let you run away
Don't act like loving me is such a bad thing
No matter what ya say
Won't let you run away
They wished so much that they could have a loving relationship openly right now, but both of them knew it was impossible for now. They wanted to be in each other wings forever. They both knew they loved each other very much, but it had to stay trapped from nearly everyone, only the few they trusted knew.
Let's get this right, don't take it slow
Let's not pretend we've never met before
Cause baby this love is something we both know
But it's been trapped in a cage like an animal
As Alex started his day, in his tribe, just wandering around with Lisa besides him, he imagined what it would be like with Lily with him in his tribe. Everywhere he saw a female chatting happily with her mate or boyfriend, he could imagine Lily and him sharing some laughs. He really wanted to just dive into having an open relationship and hold Lily's wing and never let go of it.
And now we're dancing under streetlights
Drunk on twilight
You say yours when I'm calling you mine
See your name in the sidewalk cracks
Wanna be anywhere you're at
All I ever really need is you
And this time we're gonna see this through
So if we ever lose our way again
Take my hand we'll make it back
Alex knew the consequences and he didn't wish to hurt so many that he loved, his brother and his family and his real family. He didn't want Lily to see him however as a hindrance, he wanted her to love him as much as he did to her. No matter what Lily said to him, he would hold on to her as long as he could.
You and me are hell-bent on heartbreak
No matter what ya say
Won't let you run away
Don't act like loving me is such a bad thing
No matter what ya say
Won't let you run away
As Lily started her day, flying around and sighing as she thought of Alex, she kept on telling herself that Alex was right, everything will be fine in the future and they would be together. She thought of all the moments they shared together from the day they both shared that kiss under the mistletoe.
I told myself it would be alright
But you lurk in the shadows deep inside my mind
I couldn't escape all the memories
Stuck in my head like pretty melodies
Just like Alex, she imagined what being with Alex in her tribe would look like and just like him, she imagined every couple she saw as them, sharing some new memories together. She wanted so much for Alex to hold her and feel warm under his red feathers while she smiled at the comfort he provided.
Now we're dancing under streetlights
Drunk on twilight
You say yours when I'm calling you mine
See your name in the sidewalk cracks
Wanna be anywhere you're at
All I ever really need is you
This time we're gonna see this through
So if we ever lose our way again
Take my hand we'll make it back
As the day wore on, both of them were rethinking about their future, how things could change so that both of them were happy being together and no one would judge them because of how different they looked, only their love towards each other mattered and neither of them wanted the other to go away and disappear.
You and me are hell-bent on heartbreak
No matter what ya say
Won't let you run away
Don't act like loving me is such a bad thing
No matter what ya say
Won't let you run away
Won't let you run away
They thought about their past, how successful they were and how happy they were back than, being together and not having to worry so much about what others thought. They remembered when they were alone and they could fully show their love to each other through kisses and hugs, they wanted to show just as much affection as when they first kissed beak to beak.
Used to be just me and you
Acting like we couldn't lose
Let's do the things we used to do
If you're the fire, I'm the fuel
Just like when our love was new
As the day ended for both of them, flying back to their hollows, they made up their minds that no matter what, they would always stay together even if it meant that in the end all they had was each other. They would never let go no matter how hard something or someone tried to pull them apart.
You and me are hell-bent on heartbreak
No matter what ya say
Won't let you run away
Don't act like loving me is such a bad thing
No matter what ya say
Won't let you run away
Won't let you run away
Won't let you run away
Won't let you run away
Won't let you run away
As the moon and stars filled the clear Amazon night, both Alex and Lily were standing on the edge of their hollows, looking towards the direction of each other as they both sighed. Even thought they couldn't see each other, they knew the other was out there and thinking about the other. They wanted so much to be able to keep this relationship going, even if it might they had to leave all the rest of their loved ones in the end and break their hearts. Their love was so strong that both were willing to face all the challenges they would encounter in front of everyone.
Before Alex came back inside his hollow to sleep for the night, he sighed one last time before saying,
"Goodnight Lily, I love you."
And Alex went to lay down and rest his head from the day's thinking, while Lily also said goodnight.
"Goodnight Alex, I love you."
And she also went to sleep for the night, to rest up for the next day.
And so, now both were determined to stay together, nothing was going to stop them from being apart. They were really on the road that they can't escape from and sure enough, so many heartaches were to come, not only for everyone else, but for Alex and Lily themselves…
Well guys, I guess this could have gone better, but could be worse, I don't know…
Let me know what you guys think!
The song, by the way, is "Runaway" by Against the Current. I highly suggest you listen to it, it is a really good song!
