Chapter 4

stay

MileyPOV

I stroked the black and white grand piano keys. It was like it was calling my name, urging me on to play. I havn't played the piano in over a year. I just didn't feel the same about music after Nick. For most couples, the girl would beg the man to sing her to bed. Just to hear his voice. For us, he begged me to play and sing him asleep, and I did every night. I would play until my fingers bleed. Then Nick would apologize for being so needy. He would kiss my fingers and his lips would travel up my arm to my neck. He would kiss me all over. Until both of us were breathing heavily.

I took A deep breath and set down on the padded bench, next to the piano. Then it happend, I played

Well it's good to hear your voice, I hope you're doin' fine
And if you ever wonder, I'm lonely here at night
I'm lost here in this moment, and time keeps slippin' by
And if I could have just one wish, I'd have you by my side

Oh, I miss you
Oh, I need you
And I love you more than I did before
And if today I don't see your face
Nothing's changed, no one can take your place
It gets harder everyday
Say you love me more than you did before
And I'm sorry it's this way
But I'm comin' home, I'll be comin' home
And if you ask me, I will stay
I will stay

Well I try to live without you
The tears fall from my eyes
I'm alone and I feel empty
God, I'm torn apart inside
I look up at the stars, hoping you're doing the same
And somehow I feel closer, and I can hear you say

Oh, I miss you
Oh, I need you
I love you more than I did before
And if today I don't see your face
Nothing's changed, no one can take your place
It gets harder everyday
Say you love me more than you did before
And I'm sorry it's this way
But I'm comin' home, I'll be comin' home
And if you ask me, I will stay
I will stay

Always stay
I never wanna lose you
And if I have to, I will choose you
So stay, please always stay
You're the one that I hold on to
Cuz my heart would stop without you

I love you more than I did before
And if today I don't see your face
Nothing's changed, no one can take your place
It gets harder everyday
Say you love me more than you did before
And I'm sorry that it's this way
But I'm comin' home, I'll be comin' home
And if you ask me, I will stay
I'll always stay

And I love you more than I did before
And I'm sorry that it's this way
But I'm comin home, I'll be comin' home
And if you ask, I will stay
I will stay
I will stay

I looked down, and threw my hands at the keys. Making a loud noise, and breaking my promise to Alex. I promised I wouldn't cry, and all I could manage was crying. After I gatherd myself together enough. I walked to Alexandria's room and just stared at her.

"I'm doing this for us, for our future" I cried to her. Pulling out enrolling forms for Julliard.

"Just doing this for us" I repeated with a sigh.
