Chapter 4: Beverly meet Kaname
Later that afternoon, Beverly was reading another one of her books that she brought with her at the swan fountain when she suddenly had the urge to sing a song called "River flows in you"by Yiruma.
Tears flowing down my cheek
Tearing me up as I think
Of what could have been
My Ben and Jerry's melting
Falling apart like me
Dripping down insinuating
Chorus:
What if things had been different
What if we'd kept it light
What if I could hold you
I wish you'd never lied (x2)
Little did she know that Kaname Kuran from the Night class was watching her from behind a nearby tree. "What a beautiful voice she has," Kaname thinks as he continues to watch the girl in front of him.
I remember clearly saying
You and me forever
Though I'm still praying
I wanted it to last so desperately
I lost sight of all else
And it ended so abruptly
Chorus (x2)
I got dealt a hand
Not in my favor
Not what I had planned
Not what I'd hoped for
Chorus
Once Beverly was done sing her song, tears were coming down her face like a never ending waterfall. "It seems that the guy that once held your heart betrayed you, didn't he?" a voice asks from behind a nearby tree. "Yeah he did," Beverly replies as she whips her tears away. "Hmph, seems to me that he didn't deserve you in the first place if he was going to make you suffer like this," it said angrily.
"Maybe but I still wish he had at least told me why he did what he did," she replied softly. It was at that moment that Kaname stepped out from his hiding spot. "You! You're that guy I saw yesterday when Aido tried to hit on me," Beverly comments shocked.
"I certainly am and the name's Kaname Kuran," Kaname replies as he walks towards me. "Oh, well it's nice to meet you. My name is…," she begins. "I know its Beverly Robertson, right?" he replies with a smile. "That's right but how do you know that?" Beverly asks curiously. "Aido told me after you left," Kaname replies simply. "Oh," she says understanding.
After a few minutes or so, Kaname sat down next to Beverly on the fountain and commented, "You sang beautifully by the way." "Really?" Beverly asks surprised. "Really," he replies with another smile. "Well thank you," she says with a smile. "You're welcome but I was wondering if you could sing another song for me?" Kaname replies/asks. To say that Beverly was shocked would be an understatement for no one has ever asked her do that before.
"I don't know," Beverly replies feeling bashful. "Please?" he asks sweetly. Knowing that she couldn't resist Kaname, Beverly agrees to the request and begins to sing "My Immortal" by Evanescence:
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 heal
Chorus:
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
Instrumental
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 wound won't seem to heal
This pain is just too real
There's just too much that time cannot erase
Chorus
I've tried so hard to tell myself that you're gone
But though you're still with me
I've been alone all along
Instrumental
Chorus
Once the song was over, a few more tears ran down Beverly's face for the song fitted her situation perfectly since she knew that she would never be able to let go of her ex-boyfriend David Tyler. Seeing that the song was once again about her ex-lover, Kaname place one arm around Beverly's shoulder and gently pulled her towards him in a gentle embrace.
"Shh, it's okay Beverly. I'm here, I'm here," Kaname gently whispers into the crying girl's ear. For the next few hours or so, Kaname held Beverly while she cried the last remaining of her tears. Once she was done, Beverly pulled away from Kaname and said, "Thank you." "You're welcome Beverly," Kaname replies as he wipes the last bit of Beverly's tears from her face.
It was at that moment that Kaname noticed that it had gotten dark which meant that it was time for Beverly to go to bed and for him to go to class. "Looks like it's time for you to retire for the night Beverly," Kaname says as he gets up from his seat. "I guess you're right Kaname but I wish I could stay here with you for just a few more minutes," Beverly replies sadly.
"Hmm well how about I take you back to your room and stay there for half of the night then I can go to my class once you're completely asleep," he says as he holds out his hand towards the young brunette in front of him.
"Okay but won't you get in trouble with the Headmaster for being late to class," she says she take the hand in front of her. "Not really besides my fellow classmates can wait for me for how long I want them to," Kaname replies with a smile as he begins to walk away with Beverly following right behind him.
A few seconds later, the two arrived at Beverly's room and as they entered, Kaname could see that there was no one else in the room except for Beverly herself. "You're living here by yourself, Beverly?" Kaname asks surprised. "Well this was the only room that the Headmaster had left and since it was a one person room, he figured that I wouldn't mind staying here which I don't," Beverly replies with a soft smile.
"But don't you ever get lonely?" he asks again confused. "Sometimes," she replies sadly. Before Kaname could ask anymore question on the subject, Beverly was sound asleep in her bed with a gentle smile on her face. "What a strong girl you are, Beverly especially since your eyes betray how you really feel about living here," Kaname thinks as he runs a hand through Beverly's soft brown hair.
Once he was done, Kaname left the room with a smile on his face as he headed off towards his class.
