Hi everyone. I am sorry that this has taken so long to update. I am moving to Canada (for hopefully 2 years) in 2 weeks, my mind has been preoccupied. The song used is 'Easy Silence' by the Dixie Chicks. Enjoy
Tonight was the night they were coming out to everyone. As the lyrics started, they looked at each other's eyes and nodded. It was their song; a song they had called their own six months into their relationship. It really was fitting that they show everyone else that.
When the calls and conversations
Accidents and accusations
Messages and misperceptions
Paralyze my mind
Busses, cars, and airplanes leaving
Burnin' fuel and gasoline and
And everyone is running and I
Come to find a refuge in the
Easy silence that you make for me
As they arrived into the centre of the dance floor, Diane felt Nikki's hands slid around her waist and she allowed her head to rest on her partner's shoulder. As they moved to the music, she let out the breath that she had been holding.
Monkeys on the barricades
Are warning us to back away
They form commissions trying to find
The next one they can crucify
And anger plays on every station
Answers only make more questions
There were no flames, or lighting strikes, or booing. Nothing that she had been worried would happen. The MET was not, by policy, homophobic, but people's opinions affected her more then she would admit to most people.
And the way you keep the world at bay for me
The way you keep the world at bay
As the song finished and Nikki lead her off, she looked around. There were a few glances, and smiles. Yes tomorrow there would be questions, but after that song and feeling Nikki's hand – well she knew then that's she could answer them proudly.
