Shattering glass - Chapter 2 - First chapter of a bad romance.
Lauren's POV
Its not as easy as you think.
You'know to pretend like everything is okay.
To act like you understand everything every little thing that is going on in your life.
Even your families lives.
Every moment you have spent hushing them when the cry.
Calming them when they scream when they let their emotions run wild.
But who's there to hug me rock me when I cry ?
I just have myself.
I took a deep breath.
Not the first time being on stage.
Not going to be the last.
But it was how the roof stayed over our heads.
Not that I minded my passion my choice.
It wasn't a bad job.
Keep my outfits clean.
My piano fresh and clean
The soft spotlight shining onto the deep black finish.
I sat down slowly.
The crowd slowly calming.
If only the family could see this !
Yet they would never come to see this.
Yet they would never let me hear or live this type of thing down.
They seem to think I spend my whole life training and locked up in my room.
But I do much more then they will ever understand or know.
My life my secrets to keep.
My long ebony hair was pinned up.
Keeping it out the way.
I wore a long black wedding style dress.
With a top hat and silk black gloves.
Yet I wore no shoes.
I didn't feel the need for them.
You would never get a feel for the atmosphere, wearing shoes.
It wasn't the same experience.
Leo's POV
The music chambers.
As it was called now.
I came here just to stay calm.
The music was calm.
The truth of the world.
Every word that was sang was the truth,
the emotion
the pain
the thoughts
of the person singing.
Lauren
She was my favorite
To listen to of course
Her voice like an ocean.
Calming sometimes crashing waves would build,
through her pain
other times her voice would be still.
Waves being calm before the storm.
I was thankful for the big shadows
Hands that cast a huge shadow in the ceiling I lay.
Eyes resting down watching her.
In all her gracefulness.
One day I would bring myself to talk to her.
I was not one to be afraid.
But I allowed myself to fear , fear her reaction.
I prayed she would not run
I prayed she would not hide.
I even prayed she would feel the same.
But I knew I was kidding myself.
At the hush tone that cleared the surrounding area,
I cast my gaze down
Peace was all that stood.
Silence balanced with the soft voice and music,
this played softly after a few moment.
I'm so tired of being here
Suppressed by all my childish fears
And if you have to leave
I wish that you would just leave
'Cause your presence still lingers here
And it won't leave me alone
These wounds won't seem to heal
This pain is just too real
There's just too much that time cannot erase
I was surprised,
A single lone tear slipped down her snow white skin.
It was a strange feeling but I felt my heart go out to her.
I knew truth was pain but I never it could be this bad.
I wanted to speak cry out towards her.
I wanted to let her know everything was okay.
But how could I ?
I sighed inwardly and focused again on her voice,
allowing myself to calm once again.
When you cried I'd wipe away all of your tears
When you'd scream I'd fight away all of your fears
And I held your hand through all of these years
But you still have
All of me
You used to captivate me by your resonating light
Now I'm bound by the life you left behind
Your face – it haunts my once pleasant dreams
Your voice – it chased away all the sanity in me
These wounds won't seem to heal
This pain is just too real
There's just too much that time cannot erase
As I saw another couple of tears,
I too felt a lone tear trickle down my cheek.
It wasn't natural why was I crying ?
Did I really feel for this girl.
This mirror of perfection
a snow white beauty.
Not that I ever read the book.
I wanted to speak to her,
tonight.
**Three hours Later**
Lauren's POV.
I waved goodbye slowly walking out,
this was such an emotional show tonight
But it had been worth it.
Showing my feelings it made the music
the lyrics more believable.
I walked down the orange lit street
towards where my car lay
fumbling around in my bag for the keys
I really needed to clean this bag out
sometime.
A shadow figure was stood near my car
It didn't seem to bother me.
I mean come on you get people out on the streets all the time.
So what was different about right now ?
Leo's POV
I watched her for a moment.
Admiring her from a distance.
She was fiddling with a small necklace.
A clover hand crafted even I could tell that.
I also could tell it wasn't cheap.
I sighed to myself.
I knew it was dumb to show myself to another human
But Mikey he talked to Jade.
Showed himself to her and now look at him
as happy as any turtle could be.
I walked up to her not trying to scare her.
But my appearance didn't seem to scare her,
not one little bit.
That's when we got talking exploring each others history and emotions a little more.
I already knew she was the girl for me.
A/N
I hope you like this chapter. I know I said I was going to put a little bit of Jade and mikey as well.
But Leo and Lauren really took it out of me. So sorry. I'm not sure what I will do next.
Maybe I will do the fair maybe I will do Lauren meeting the family.
I really do hope you liked this chapter PLEASE R&R PLEASE.
