The Band

*Chapter Four*


Wendy Marvel hanged from the cliff her small hands slipping away screaming for help

"ROMEO!" she cried her warm tears falling off her delicate skin

Romeo quickly rushed to her side holding her fragile hand and pulling her up

" I ...

"Ahhh" sighed a young man as he leaned against his chair; leaving his typewriter untouched

He was sitting at his office; a huge room with leather furniture, a chimney on one of the corners. A large book shelf on the side of the wall and the other filled with awards.

He looked around sighing

Just as he closed his eyes a young woman stood on the doorway

"You really should be sleeping Dan" she said in a firm voice

She was a young woman with long blue hair that curled on the bottom her eyes were dark blue and she was wearing black dress and a top hat, she had a clipboard on her hand and a pen on the other

"I wasn't sleeping, i was resting for a while" said the young man named Dan

He had crimson colored hair and light red eyes, he was wearing a black suit with a red colored tie

"Maybe you should rest less and work more" said the woman her eyes focused on the man

"That's harsh Juvia-Chan" Dan said holding both his hands on his chest pretending Juvia's words stabbed him

Juvia stayed quiet before speaking

"How will your fan's react if they saw you like this?" she said in a lower tone

Dan spinned his chair around to face the window behind him, showing a full view of Hargeon

Hargeon was a small port area, it was one of the most beautiful old little towns in all of Fiore, mostly only fishermen lived here but Dan liked the smell of the salty ocean and the view of the place so he decided he would live there

"Simple" he said

"What is?" asked Juvia

"I just wouldn't show the this side of me" Dan said his eyes still focused on the view

Juvia stayed quiet for she did not know who to answer the man

"How old are you Juvia?" Dan asked turning his chair to face her

"17, Why do you ask ?" she said a curious look crossed her face

"And you been working for me who long?" he asked

"Since i was 10, why do you ask?" she responded again getting more worried by the second

"And since then have you ever missed a day?"

"Why no, i don't believe i ever had" Juvia said her brows knitting together at each question he asked

"And what do you do when your free?" he asked looking directly at her

"I rest" Juvia responded not sure where the conversation was heading

"Then that would conclude you have no social life right..?"

"..."

" I thought so" Dan said spinning his chair back to face the window

Juvia remained silent

"May i ask why all the questions?" she said

"You know Juvia.."

"Yes?" she asked a bit frustrated that he never answered her questions

"You should work less" he said

"And why would I ?" she asked a little bit confused

" So you won't be Lonely" he responded

"..."

"But I'm not" she said

"But eventually you will" he said his eyes lowering from the view

"..."

"Once you reach my age, you will" he said almost in a whisper

"..."

"Are you Lonely?" Asked Juvia concerned of what his answer might be

"I am" he responded to quickly to be exact

Lonely i am..

Lonely are the nights
Lonely are the days
Lonely am I, in so many ways

Lonely are the seasons
Lonely are the years
So lonely am I, that it brings tears.

Lonely is this place
Lonely is my life
Lonely am I, that I reach for a knife

Lonely is this court room
Lonely is my sentence
So lonely am I that I ask for repentance.

"Dan" said Juvia

"It's a poem" he said in a whisper

"By?" asked Juvia

Dan shrugged " Don't remember" he said

Juvia's eyes eyes looked down processing over the poem

"Dan?"

"Yes Juvia-Chan?" he asked still watching the view

"Try not to kill yourself" she said and with that she exited the room leaving the man sitting on his chair in a large room all by himself

Dan smiled

"I won't" he said

Slowly turning his chair back again to reach his desk

And there on his desk was a book and in it's cover was a picture of a beautiful sunset in the beach and a couple embraced in each others arms sharing a deep kiss

He smiled and turned back around to face the window

"Such an Ugly cover" he whispered and once again rested his head on the back of his chair and closed his eyes repeatedly reading the poem in his head

Lonely is this place
Lonely is my life
Lonely am I, that I reach for a knife

Lonely I am that all i want is True Love

"True love huh?" He whispered looking outside the window a young couple passing by holding hands and laughing

"17, huh?" he said as he closed his eyes and fell to a peaceful sleep
