Song in this chapter: Back Where We Started by Tina Dickow (live version)

Back where we started.

Chapter 2:

I took a deep breath, put a smile on my face, squared my shoulders and walked through the door. As soon as I walked out on the stage, spotlight on me, the crowd started clapping and cheering. I quickly looked the croud over, still smiling, to see if I knew anyone. But with the light in my eyes I could´nt make out the faces.

I walked over to the middel of the stage where a chair, a microphone and my giutar stood ready. I sat down, took my guitar lightly strumming a cord. The croud went silent and I looked up. There in the front row stood my father with a big smile on his face and excitement in his eyes. I was suprised he was here, but I guess i should´nt have been. He always tried his best to be there for me when needed. And I needed him here tonight and seeing him made some of my nerves disapear.

I gave him a big grin before adressing the crowd.

"Hello everyone. My name is Rose Mazur and I´m so excited to be playing for you the next couple of hours." The crowd clapped again. "So the first song tonight is about love... About just agreeing to things not working out, not getting to say what you really feel and still hopeing for the love back. I wrote this about 2 years ago and it´s called Back where we started. Hope you like it."

I took a deep breath, set my hands on the guitar, closed my eyes and let the music flow out of the guitar.

it´s cold when it´s october here

so I guess I won´t see you at my birthday this year

and who´d have thought a love like that

would wither and wash out as winter pulls near

i´m not gonna cry about it no

i´m just gonna lie about it

Your laughter filling my sails

As I was singing I could just picture him. His deep dark brown eyes. His sweet honey-like voice. His fiery kisses. How much I miss him...

As in fall the golden leaf must give in to the winds

this here tale of love is somehow meant to end

where it begins

we´re back where we started

and why don´t we just leave it

no we´re not broken hearted

just back where we started

and why don´t we just leave it at that

leave it at that

I remember just waiting and hopeing that he would come back and cursing myself over not fighting harder for him. But how do you fight for someone when they don´t want it?

The summer asked no questions and the wind found no excuse to abridge our story

over

and nature is a faithless friend and counting an her favours will make you

sorry

I´m not gonna cry about you

it´s not like i´ll die without you no

Your laughter filling my sails oh yeah

As in fall the golden leaf must give in to the winds

this here tale of love is somehow meant to end

where it begins

My voice craked a little here, feeling all the emotions running wild with in me. I let them flow out as sang the next part. All the heartache, sorrow and love I´ve ever felt...

we´re back where we started

back where we started yeah

and why don´t we just leave it

and no no no

we´re not broken hearted

just back where we started yeah

and why don´t we just leave it at that

leave it at that

oh oh oh oh oh yeah oh oh oh oh oh oh

oh oh ohhhhh oh oh oh

oh oh oh oh oh...

And why don´t we just leave...

A I sang the last note I had a tear running down my cheek remembering the last month with Dimitri... How indifferent he seemed towards the end... And how I hated that even after a few years I still yearned for him, still loved him...

The clapping and cheering of the crowd brought me out of my memories and back to the stage. I hurriedly wisked the tear away, smiling out to them. I sould have been embarrassed letting them see, but I kinda felt releaved and happy to finally be here...

So... What do you think? Please be nice, since it´s my first fanfic :)

I think the next chapter will be a Dimitri p.o.v. I´m not sure when i´ll be finished with it, but hopefully within a weeks time.

Hugs Ranim :)
