Let Me Be ME

by Janet-Mufasa

All Alexy wanted was to listen to his music. All Castiel wanted to do was preform. Problems with teachers and the weight of life dragging them down, they use the music to escape but everyone seems to be against it. After getting his stuff taken away by a teacher Alexy runs off to hide at the bottom of a staircase only to overhear someone singing and playing guitar in the room below

Chapter three

Mystery Singer Mesmerized. Alexy could only describe it as that. He had been sat on the cold linoleum floor of the school staircase fro about two minutes now and the telltale sounds of a guitar kept distracting him from his wallowing.

he passed it off as a side affect from listening for too long to music, which he was starting to come to terms with.

However, now suddenly he was CERTAIN someone was singing. and a guitar was quietly playing. It was enchanting although rather upbeat.

Alexy couldn't help but search for the noise and then finally pressed his ear up against the doorway to underneath the stair case.

a handsome and not-too-deep voice rang out quietly as if to him, singing:

Why is this the way it has to be?

This is the way I am, why can't you see?

I'm only ever true to being me,

So just let me be... let me be me...

The person finished abruptly before the chord ended and the mystery person began fuddilng with the tune trying to work something out.

Deciding on a tune he picked up where he let off:

I feel alive when I hear it play,

The music takes my breath away

I lose myself in the rock and roll

I lose control, I lose controoooool...

Alexy smiled, relating to the lyrics. He definitely lost control and just let himself be carried away with the music.. not rock though. He usually didn't like the stuff, but this sounded home made and more deep that the low class garbage being labelled as 'rock' these days.

although a techno geek through and through, for this mystery guy he'd let him be him and he'd enjoy it with a 100% degree of certainty.

The voice suddenly drew him out of his thoughts with a rather impassioned chorus:

"Why can't you let me be me?

I wish you'd understand...

Music is my life and love

My freedom lies, in the heart of the band.. oh!

Can't you see the way I see?

Or do you even care?

I don't need you wasting my time

when rock is in the air...

You know that i'll be theeeeere...

So if you don't like how I look

Or the music that I play

Then you can walk on by, and I don't really mind

So long as you let me be meeeeeee..."

He finished off and then continued with a surprisingly talented and expert sounding guitar solo, followed by a few good humoured chuckles..

In the basement Castiel laughed at his inability to resist the urge to do a huge and complex guitar solo like that.

He really DID lose control when he hit that rock and roll...

He hung up his guitar for a minute before chugging his whole water bottle and getting ready to leave.

Hearing the mystery singer approaching, rapidly Alexy ran back up the staris and around the corner at the first landing to avoid being caught.

"Just let me be.. let me be me..." he mumbled.

"Yeah... yeah right. There's so much to me i can't be." he sighed. But regardless, that singer WOULD be getting another visit from him in the near future. Maybe he was starting to take a liking to rock or something because of it even. Whoever it was he would have to stop by to listen to him again...
