And here's the next chapter (shock horror).
If you're still reading, I love you. That's kind of creepy, seeing as I don't know you. xD
Blah blah blah. Don't own FaceBook or Youtube.
My chapters are just getting shorter and shorter. And I never write them.
I promise I'll TRY and update a lot more often. Sorry.
Matt's POV:
Why did I agree to this?
I hate playing piano in public, I've decided. I hate it.
'Why?' You may ask. I don't know. I really don't know.
Maybe it's stage fright.
Maybe I'm afraid of what people will think.
That sounds about right.
Or does it?
Well, there was this one time, when I had to play in Junior school, I completely forgot everything. My hands got sweaty and all of a sudden I couldn't read the music.
I wet myself.
Go ahead and laugh. I don't care. All I know is that I though it'd be a long time until I performed again.
But I think I can do it.
I'm going to try. I have to. I promised Misa and Mello.
Jeez. I'm thinking. Wow.
Hm... Two options. Video gaming, or finding a song.
I choose Video Gaming!
Or maybe... I should find a song. Crap. It's getting to me. I kind of feel guilty. Like, I promised to do it. Did I promise? Or did I just say I would? Hell, I don't even know!
I pushed the thoughts of video gaming away as I headed to my computer to crash YouTube with my music.
Hum...
I have no idea what song to play.
I have no idea. Maybe I should ask the others. Wait...
I don't have their phone numbers or email addresses. FaceBook stalking time.
But who?
I eventually decided on Light, because he seemed the type to not share out my details with the others.
I clicked on the search bar and type in 'Light'. Then I remembered that I forgot his last name. Then I realized he had a sister who was friends with Jenna, so I went through her friends list and found Sayu Yagami.
I clicked on her profile and saw her latest status:
omg im so proud! my brothers going to be playin a rele hard song on guitar for are schools concert! im so going! - With Light Yagami.
Dat grammar. It hurts my eyes. I clicked on Light and then on message.
Matt: Hey, Light. I hope you don't mind, but I need your help for choosing a song. I'd also appreciate it if you didn't tell the others that you had my FaceBook. Thanks. - Matt.
He wasn't online so I clicked back onto the YouTube tab.
"Matt?"
"Nathan!"
My older brother I hadn't seen in a year and a half, back from his trip to Japan, strolled in, smiling at me.
"Long time no see, Matt-Monster."
"Nathan," I cringed. "I'm not eleven anymore!"
"Maybe so, but you definitely act it."
I walked over to him to whack him on the arm playfully.
"So, Jenna tells me that there's a music concert at your school soon. Will you be auditioning?"
I groaned. Does everyone know?
"Yes. I told some friends I would."
"Wow. Friends? Other then Mario, Link and your Pokemon?"
"Yes, Nathan. Real friends. I just don't know what song to play."
He looked at me, confused.
"Why not play your favourite song? You've always wanted an excuse to play it?"
"I can't, Nathan."
"Why not?"
"Because it sounds stupid without the violin solo."
Then it hit me what I said. I grinned to myself.
"You look like you've had an epiphany."
"You coming to the concert?"
"Sure am."
Mello's POV:
I looked at Near. His face was so calm when he played with jigsaw puzzles.
Relaxed, like he didn't care about anything other than the toy in front of him.
He looked up.
"Mello. Are you okay?"
I forget. The only reason I really hate him, is because he obsesses over me. When I look over that, he's not nearly as annoying. Like... A friend.
"You've been staring at me for a while. Could it be that you're finally returning my feelings?" He smirked.
I take it back.
"Heh. You wish."
My phone beeped.
"Light?"
"I wonder what Light wants... He hardly texts anyone."
I clicked on the message.
'I have just recieved a message from Matt. He said he'd like to meet you some where to talk about a song. Somewhere with a piano, preferably. He sent you a FaceBook request.'
"It's about Matt."
I looked up and took in the scenery. It'd gotten very dark, and the wind was blowing the leaves off the trees and down over us.
"It's late Mello. Thank you for finally accepting my offer to join me in the park."
I scoffed. "All you did was sit and do the puzzle."
"I'm also glad you agreed to sing for me."
"Meh. It was Jeffree Star. How could I resist?"
"I have to go now. See you at school tomorrow." He picked up his puzzle and started walking away.
Mello: Hello Matt. FaceBook does amazing wonders for the world of stalking. It seems that 'Just Matt' has a name. Mr Jeevas.
Matt: Can't say the same for you, 'Mr Mello Len'. Or is Len really your last name?
Mello: It's my little brother's name, nosy. What did you want to talk to me about?
Matt: There's this song I really want to play, but I can't do it without your help.
Mello: Okay. Do you want to discuss it now? I'm free.
Matt: Do you think you could come to my house?
Mello: Sure. Nothing better to do.
Matt: I'll give you the address. Don't forget your violin.
Mello: Okay.
I parked my motorbike in his drive way, walking up to his house, my violin case over my shoulder.
I knocked on the door.
A tall man with bright red (obviously dyed) hair opened the door, leaning against the door frame, eyebrow raised.
"Who're you?"
"Mello."
He sniggered. "What a name."
"I'd like to see Matt please."
"Matt? Yeah." He looked at my violin. "You play?"
"Yes."
"Oh yeah. He wanted to see you." He turned. "Matt! Your violin boyfriend's here!"
...Boyfriend..?
"I'm Nathan by the way. Matt's brother."
"How many siblings has he got?"
"Including me? Three."
"Interesting."
"I'm guessing you're the blonde one he talks about often."
He talks about me?
"He said blonde hair. Can sing. Is cute."
Misa?
"Hum... If I were gay, you'd be more hot then cute, to me."
Matt pushed past him.
"Nathan!" His floppy red hair covered most of his goggles. "What were you telling him?"
Nathan smirked. "Nothing."
"If you say so."
I followed Matt into his living room, where an older man, who I presumed to be his Father, looked up from his newspaper.
"He looks nice. Where'd you find him?"
Is everyone in his family bent on checking out teenage boys?
Well, they obviously can't help it.
I'm sexy as fuck.
"Dad! He's my friend! He came here for school work!"
His Dad smirked. "Okay then."
Matt pushed past everyone and I was led into a room with a computer and a piano.
A thirteen year old girl sat at the computer. Must have been Matt's third sibling.
Matt completely ignored her and went to the piano, putting some sheet music on the stand. He didn't look at me. He just sat down, and played.
The song was beautiful, it made you want to sway to it, smile and cry at the same time.
Then he started to sing.
It was so beautiful, the way his voice merged with the piano. The sound was almost orgasmic to hear. Eargasm. I got lost in listening to it. But then he stopped.
"And this is where the violin solo comes in."
(( The next day. ))
I woke up, yawning. Eh. School. Again.
Why do I bother?
Ah yes. Grades to get a job. Money for a house which the money my parents left me is eventually going to run out. My 'friends', Matt-
Wait... Did I say Matt?
... I did.
I've been thinking about him even more so since he played for me last night. His voice was just so... Beautiful. And many other words I can't even think of right now.
I looked at my alarm clock. 7:03am.
Early.
I got dressed in my usual manner, picking at my leather jacket, which was currently falling to pieces.
Since I was early, I started to look at sheet music for the song's violin parts.
I could do this, with practice.
Dang. Matt's vooooiiiiceeeee.
My phone rang.
"Yello'?"
"Ah, Mels. Do you think you could give me a lift to school today?" Came Misa's hyper voice.
"Why are you up so early, Misa? Don't you normally get up late?"
"Yeah, well, I woke up to the sound of Halle storming out of her bedroom and into the bathroom to throw up. So she can't take me because she's ill."
"Oh. Right then. I'll think about it." I smirked to myself, knowing that she's pouting.
"Meeeellllllsssss!"
"Fine. I'll pick you up at ten past eight."
"Thanks! Buh-baiiiiiii!"
She hung up, and I tossed the phone onto my bed.
Halle is an extremely clean person, and after contact with people, she tends to pulls out baby wipes or hand sanitizer or whatever from her handbag. So it might be serious.
/
I hopped off of the motorbike that I had leant against the Amane family's garage and knocked on the door.
It swung open, and the heavily floral scented air hit me in the face before I could see who opened the door.
Misa's father, Halle's step-father stood in the clean, white door frame.
"Good morning, Mr Amane." I said once I had taken off my helmet.
"Mihael." He nodded. "Still wearing that distasteful leather?"
"Still look good in it, Sir."
He smiled at me and I grinned back, stepping into the pristine white kitchen when he moved out of the way.
"Misa! Mihael's here!" He yelled upwards.
"MEL-MELLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!" Misa's squawking rebounded off of the bright cream walls.
"Ouch. Calm down, please!" I shrieked as her full body weight crashed into me and we landed in a heap on the floor.
"I'm happy to see you, Mel-Mel!"
"Yeah yeah, whatever. Please, just get off of me."
Misa jumped up, smoothing out her normal goth lolita attire.
"Can we hurry up and go?" I asked, yawning.
"Of course. Goodbye, Daddy!" She kissed the older man's cheek and bounded out the door.
"Too much energy, I say to Mr Amane."
"Indeed."
/
Misa's arms clasped around me tightly as I gave her my helmet to put on.
"Mello..?" She started.
"Mh?"
"I'm going to tell you a reeeeaaallly big secret, but you have to promise to not tell anybody. So far, I'm the only one, apart from Halle, knows."
"If it's such a big secret, then you probably shouldn't be telling me."
She hesitated, before shaking her head and continuing.
"Halle's pregnant."
My eyes widened in shock.
"Really?"
"Mhm. Only, she met him at a pub. They were drunk, I think."
"Well shit."
"Yeah. But, the thing is, when this guy... 'came'... He said someone else's name."
"Oh..?"
"Yeah. He said... Matt."
RN:
Again, sorry I don't write. But I should definitely be doing so more in the summer holidays.
Also, if you see mistake, please let me know so I can correct them.
Any questions? Ask!
