Music
Will's POV
The piano sits in the middle of the room. It’s black and shines in the sunshine. I may be a son of Apollo and he may be the God of Sun,music and poetry but right now my heart is breaking.
I drop my bag and sit on the bench. Tears stream down my face as I play the first melancholy three chords of the song. I begin to sing along.
" You and I, we’re like fireworks and symphonies exploding in the sky
With you, I’m alive
Like all the missing pieces of my heart, they finally collide
So stop time right here in the moonlight
’Cause I don’t ever wanna close my eyes
Without you, I feel broke
Like I’m half of a whole
Without you, I’ve got no hand to hold
Without you, I feel torn
Like a sail in a storm
Without you, I’m just a sad song
I’m just a sad song
With you, I fall
It’s like I’m leaving all my past and silhouettes up on the wall
With you, I’m a beautiful mess
It’s like we’re standing hand and hand with all our fears up on the edge
So stop time right here in the moonlight
’Cause I don’t ever wanna close my eyes
Without you, I feel broke
Like I’m half of a whole
Without you, I’ve got no hand to hold
Without you, I feel torn
Like a sail in a storm
Without you, I’m just a sad song
You’re the perfect melody
The only harmony I wanna hear
You’re my favourite part of me
With you standing next to me
I’ve got nothing to fear
Without you, I feel broke
Like I’m half of a whole
Without you, I’ve got no hand to hold
Without you, I feel torn
Like a sail in a storm
Without you, I’m just a sad song
Without you, I feel broke
Like I’m half of a whole
Without you, I’ve got no hand to hold
Without you, I feel torn
Like a sail in a storm
Without you, I’m just a sad song, I’m just a sad song."
My heart begins to break with each word. With each chord tears stream down my face. The door opens and Nico walks in. His feet stop when he reaches me. His pale and bony arms wrap around my neck.
"Shhh, shhh. You're okay. Everything is going to okay," he whispers in my ear. "I promise."
I place my hands on Nico's. His skin is cold and smooth. I choke a sob into a hiccup.
"I love you too Nico," I whisper.
