"Hey Bach how about you come with me to the beach one more time?" She reached her for my hand, and I grabbed it and followed her to the beach
"Feel the sand under your feet, feel how you control what you do, look at the sea.." she pointed out as we held hands
"You see you cant control the ocean, the waves go in and out, if we stand close enough the water will come to us and leave, think of it like that, it happens on earth, but the moon also helps it, if it's not out it weakens, without a friend... girlfriend your worthless on this world alone and dark.." she held both of my hands and she looked up at me her green eyes gleaming into mine, the moon perfectly on her eyes glowing as bright as ever, she leans in for a kiss...
"Bach are you done making out with that pillow?"
Huh?
"AHHHH MOM! WHAT ARE YOU DOING IN MY ROOM? It's Sunday let me be!"
"Bach don't tell me you been getting wet dreams-"
"MOM!"
"Anyways get ready for lunch, you slept in well. I'm guessing what you did yesterday tired you out.." I noticed the time it was 12:30, I did sleep in late, I looked at my phone to see Trinity texted
^hey it's me, better put me on as a regular contact name^ it was a dream, thankgoodness
"So whats for lunch?"
"Here you go, grilled Tilapia, your favorite, with okra and asparagus, time for you to be healthy.." usually she never makes the side dish but I guess I have to keep a simple diet or I won't do well on my own
"So who's the girl you were with?"
"Oh her name is Trinity, she goes to the same school I'm going, and wants me to be in the music club with her-"
"Do you not remember what happened last time Bach?" She sounded serious
"Mom we are going to try something to see if it'll help me, it's a test, I don't plan on playing in front of everybody like I did before, I have a plan-"
"And so did your dad, and look where he is now.." it was a stand still
"Look Bach, I'm sorry but I am worried for you, if this happens again you'll end up like how your father was blamed for, by the way you need to visit him sometime, they sent me a letter saying they are gonna stop visits soon.."
"Really? Well I haven't seen him in a while so I guess I can ask..." An idea popped in my head. I stood up in excitement, and sat back down
"Do you think he wants me to stop this?"
"Well it's your choice Bach, it's your life, I just want the best for you, I just want you to watch for yourself, and be alright is all I ask.." she was cleaning the kitchen and went silent, I ate everything on the plate, spotless
"Thank you mom.." and I ran straight Into my room, and grabbed my phone, watch, and got fully dressed, today isn't relaxing, if my dad taught me how to play this good for that to happen, then maybe he knows
"Where are you going?"
"I'm going to go see dad and talk to him, maybe he knows something about this..-"
"Wait well he needs to know your coming?-"
"It can't wait!" I felt like I knew everything, so I jogged my way to the station
"Great I can go to him and talk to him about what I learned, and maybe learn more-" I turned the corner
*SLAM*
"Owww, I am so sorry I was in a hurry- Clara?" She was sitting up and holding her head,
"Wow, Bach you sure are always in a hurry-"
"No no are you okay? I wasn't paying attention, did I hurt you?" She looked up and smiled for once
"No, I'm fine thank you.." and she stood up and dusted her jeans
"Funny to see you running like that-"
"I was just going to go see my dad at the station, and talk to him."
"Oh, t-that must be nice, actually I was going to try and find you anyways.." the way her stance was, she was twirling her fingers and she looked up at me
"I wanted to thank you for taking me to the train station that night, wanted to give you a gift, because lately now I've been scared to go on my own, I feel there is someone who will kidnap me..."
"Then why did you go to me? You didn't know who I was,"
"Well true you are a boy, but you look like a freak that wouldn't do that" ouch, is that a main theme for me
"Well what is the gift, or your thanks?"
"I don't know I didn't think that far, I'm to shy to go anywhere else... to give any thanks..." she had a thought in her head
"Do you have a phone?"
"HUH??" She sounded so surprised
"Do you?"
"Oh- yeah.. yeah, I do why?-"
"Well if you want to give me thanks it'll have to be later on because I have to see him before time is up, type your email address.." and I gave it to her, and she was shaky
"What's wrong?"
"Well I.... okay...." I feel she is thinking about something
"Okay look how about this" I grabbed my phone back because I know I have no time, "you go to the train station again at 6:30 tonight, and we'll go to a café and you can give me the thanks there, okay?" She started to twirl her fingers again, cute but, shy
"O-okay.. have a nice day" and she bowed again
"S-sorry for bumping into you..." and she walked off, like I just broke up with her
"Hmm that girl is a weird one, like she is too patient, well no matter, I have to go see my dad.."
- at the police station
"Excuse may I talk to Reagan Sebastian?" The officer looked like a dickhead
"What's the name.."
"Bach Sebastian.."
"One sec.." he got up from his chair and went into the room behind him and so I waited for about 3 minutes
"No appointment called but he said he was expecting someone, over here.." he pointed down at a door, and as I entered I seen my dad in hand cuffs sitting in a chair, with another in front almost like I'm going to interrogate him
"You have 10 minutes"
*SLAM*
"Yeah they are all dushbags, I was expecting your mom, but this is just as fine, It's been a while, how have you been?.."
"I came to ask you the same thing, and about what happened, I still can't believe they did this to you.."
"Well son it's what I was blamed for, I mean those girls really liked your playing haha"
"I wanted to talk to you about that.."
"What's wrong? You are in a all guy school from what your mother told me, you should be swell!"
"I got an offer to go to a better school, the music has a better program.."
"Okay so what's the big deal?"
"Well... It's a mixed school..." I looked down, and I know he didn't like that answer
"Bach... I knew a day would've come of this..." I looked up to see his head down as well
"Well dad, I just wanted to ask, if there is a way I can stop this? My gift, or curse, or what ever I have.."
"Well son, to be honest I don't know a full solution, but when I would teach you back then the first song you played was around a woman who was going to teach you, but she was drawn to you so close, and I didn't know what it was. All I could think its just how well you played, so that's why I put headphones on you so you can only listen to yourself and no one else, at first I didn't believe it, but the more I showed videos of you to my coworkers in school, the women were immediately drawn to you, but only when you played the music, that's the thing.." so he understood it to back then, but he never told me because I was to young
"But I did notice something, back then you played almost everyone song perfect, never missed a note, i get so proud to show you off to my friends live and one of them had his wife with them, and automatically I felt scared, of course you went ahead and played but that was your actual first time around people, you played well but on your last note you accidentally played a wrong note, even tho they still applaud, she didn't do anything and didn't react to your playing, so that's something to think about..."
So one note actually costed this gift to stop?
"So dad your saying is that one note can be the death of me?"
He tried to put his hand in the air like he didn't know
"It's for you to find out son, it could be true, do what ever you can to find out, without any girls going at you okay son?" I felt like I knew something now..
"Thank you dad" and I stood up to give him a hug..
"Me and mom miss you.."
"I know son, don't worry another year of this and I'm out okay?"
I nodded at him and felt like I wanted to cry
"Hahaha Its almost like you have Lust.." I looked at him confused
"Lust??.." Now I started to think
"Alright times up, Reagan back to your cell.."
"Well I'll see you later son, figure this out for you, for you only, thank you for coming.." and he walked off, and I walked out the station and stood there for a brief period and just had a deep thought
"Lust? But what does that have to do with anything?" As I walked I was looking down instead of looking up
"Well that is a good thought, but also the one note-" and I ran into someone. Again
"Ow... Clara? Really again?" She was sat down again and I helped her up this time
"What are you doing around here?"
She looked like I just asked her a exam question that is hard to answer
"Well... I wanted to talk to you again..." she was twirling her fingers again, god that's cute
"Well... I said later, but want to go to the beach and then the café?" She had her head down and nodded again, and we started to walk off
"So Clara now that we are finally fully talking, what grade are you in? What are your hobbies?" It was a weird thing to do but I wanted to break the ice of silence
"Well... I am a 3rd year in Ocarina school..." I forgot to ask which school, but seems I should be okay
"Ohh, I am also in a highschool... so what are your hobbies?"
"Well..." we stopped walking,
"I like to play guitar..." wow another musical person, I know not to nerd out again on music
"Oh that's nice! I can play piano!.." and thats all I really wanted to say
"So how long have you been playing?" She was thinking herself too
"Well, I started when I was only 9 years old, my dad got me into it listening to a lot of music that involves guitars.. so on my birthday he got me a guitar and ever sense I started playing... and also I'm in a club for it.."
Well there is no doubt she is talking about being with Trinity, wow I met a guitarist, and a bassist. But what of Euphomo? I feel if I want more answers I gotta tell her I'm in the same school
"Hey.... so about me... I was in a good school.. but now I'm in the same school as you, haha..." I put my hand on my head like I didn't mean to hurt her, and she stopped again
"You? A guy?... well as long as your not a pervert.." I felt weird on her saying 'a guy' "does that mean you are going to join the club?" her dark red eyes went into my soul, like full of excitement
"Uh.. yeah I am why do you feel weirded out for a guy like me to join a club?" we started walking again
"Well the thing is you have to be super special, even as a guy to join the club..." wow the music club is super strict huh
"Well it looks like your the special one for this club Bach." And she looked up at the sky as we walked, I didn't want to ask yet what she meant by that
"Oh man today feels nice, don't you think?" I turned around and smiled maybe to uplift the mood but she kept looking down
"Hey Clara, see that horizon?"
"Yeah..." I tried to make a point on something I don't know
"Well if it's something you want you have to reach it, even if it's far..." and now I felt my thoughts going back to me
"Hey Bach... are you feeling down too?" She caught me
"Yeah... well aren't we all?" I chuckled and that was all
"Maybe one day you can figure out your problem like mine.." I didn't know where she was going
"And what's that?" She turned to me with tears
"To... finally talk, to a guy..." she started to cry and she held her legs in and just bawled
"Woah hey hey, I'm flattered but it's nothing to cry about Clara?" I stood up really worried about her
"C'mon Clara I'll lighten your mood with some popsicles? C'mon-" she jumped up and grasped my shirt, like a cub holding its mother
"Bach... thank you..." she just kept crying, and all I could do was pat her head softly
"Your welcome, c'mon let's go" and she just held my shirt as we walked over there
"So what is your favorite flavor?" She was quiet
"Okay, I'll have one vanilla and-"
"Orange blast.." she felt comfortable with me now, we got our popsicle's and walked to a bench and table
"Oh so your a orange person huh?"
"Yeah, I kinda like the way it taste, looks like your plain.." I knew she was comfortable while talking like that
"Well I am a average guy, haha.." and I heard her chuckle a little, I broken, no... she broken the ice
"Well I guess we got our talk early in the day huh? Wanna call it quits for today, and maybe see you in school tomorrow?" I felt the need to go home and practice but
"Well... okay, want to hang out more? If you ever need to I guess.."
"Well I did help you that night when you were lost, so if you want to go to the café whenever let me know, so how about it?" She twirled her fingers again
"Okay..." and she got up and bowed again
"Thank you for listening to me and paying for the popsicle, I'll pay you back at the café..." she felt she needed to give back
"Hey don't worry this one was on me, and a good impression of a guy for you the first time, so I'm happy.." and I waved her off as I took off to go home, well I just hope feelings don't stick, because Trinity and Clara are sure different, but I just hope my music won't get to them, and maybe I can do what I love... it's all I thought about on my way back
"I'm home!"
"Well took you long enough, how's your dad?"
"He's fine, we had a good talk and I gotten an idea of what to figure out of what's wrong with me, or my playing"
"Well he is same O'l same O'l huh? Well I guess while your at school I'll go visit him myself before it stops visiting, I haven't heard his voice in a while, okay well I'm glad you talked to him, in the letters he always wanted to see you again.." and she gone back to cleaning, knowing my dad does care for me it's odd for that to happen, like he was framed even tho it was me. My own fault...
The rest of the day I attempted to relax before being put in a you know, a mixed school again, but instead of putting the whole thing in my mind I wanted to walk and see if it'll clear my head more, like when I was with Trinity...
"Okay mom I'ma go for a walk"
"Well damn Bach you had what 5 walks this weekend? You better be in shape by summer."
"Yeah yeah, I plan on clearing my head one more time before going to a new school, gotta compose myself you know?"
"Oh we know Bach, have fun" and she sat down in the living room and began to watch TV, and I went ahead and grabbed my jacket and head out for a walk
"Man maybe I was a little harsh on Clara... I just left without having her following me, I hope she made it back..." and for good measure, I wanted to feel the sea breeze again, so I walked to the beach and noticed a figure on the beach still standing there looking at the sea, I looked at my watch, it's 6:29
"Clara?..." she turned around and looked at me, her red eyes gleaming towards me
"Have you been here all this time?.." she put her head back down
"Well.. yes..."
"Why? It's been hours, do you have a sunburn?-"
"No, I was looking at the horizon, trying to reach what I can't find..." she took my words literally
"Well Clara... c'mon I can't have you like this.." and I grabbed her arm and we took off to the café, standing out there too long means she is dehydrated. And I felt like having the music brew.
"Why are you doing this Bach?.."
"Well because when I meet someone new and they are going through a rough time I gotta help.." like how Trinity helped me
"Oh... thank you..." and I let go of her arm and we walked to the café
"Okay, we made it, so let's go inside and I'll get you a drink.."
"O-okay..." and we walked to the same booth, where Mr. Oscar, and Trinity were when I gone to come here
"Okay so what would you guys like?" A different girl other than Trinity, guess she is in the back
"Oh hey Clara nice to see you here with... your..." Like a debate for who I am
"He's my friend, he is going to our school in our music program.." she was upfront about it, and not shy
"What? A boy? Does Mr. Oscar allow this now?-"
"Well I played well in a recital and he was there watching me play and he loved it, i see how strict the club is for a boy to join.." I had to put in my two cents
"Oh so what did you play?" I feel like it's a trick question
"Well I-" before I said it I thought if they were going to ask me to play so
"I played the piano really well.." and I turned back to Clara
"Ohh! So you are going to play in the yearly music festival?.." instead of taking the orders she now wanted to know more, I grew I should lie, but I didn't want to
"Well actually I-"
"Yes he is..." Clara stepped in
"Oh so you guys are practicing already?"
"Yes.. we..." I felt her foot poke my leg asking for help
"Well what I meant is that yes I am, but we haven't practiced yet, so we are here talking about it.."
"Ohhh okay! Okay so Clara what do you want?.." I know I saved her on that one
"I'll get... a cappuccino, small please..."
"And for you.. Bach?"
"Yes, I'll get the Music brew."
"Alright it'll be out in a few minutes, I'll be back when it's done..." and she walked off, I hate explaining what's wrong with me, but Clara...
"Okay so Clara I gotta know, what's up?"
And she did the twirly thing again
"Well you want me to be honest?..." and I didn't even care at that point
"Well yeah, if I brought you here all the way.." and she put her head up
"Well after that night when you helped me I had a dream about you..." that wasn't to weird to hear
"About me? Did I fall off a cliff? Or was I naked?..." and I felt to be funny
"Well no... I seen you running away from this mob..." well that's any nightmare, a little normal
"What did I do? Look wrong at a girl?"
"Well no... you played something, and I was apart of that mob..." well now I know what she is talking about
"I see... so did you guys reach me?.." I was asking some weird question but I wanted to know
"Well almost... but during that, the music had me attracted to you, so I felt I need to be with you, and felt when to tell you this..." well I felt weird and happy, but that dream means she knows what happens, if she was to hear about it then she'll freak out
"Wow really?... well thank you?" I really didn't know what to say to that, I guess dreams are weird
"Yeah sorry to say that like that Bach, but I felt sorry for you because so many girls ran to you for some reason, and I want to help in a way for you..." so she does care for me
"And how's that?" I felt like I knew all the answers to a exam she is about to guess
"Well... I really don't know, it was you. But younger, you were crying and a man saved you, but all we did was kept running at you calling for you, and you were scared. Like me..." well she nearly got that right of what happened to me, So I reached out to grab her hand
"Hey, it's okay! I'm fine! You are here and you told me about it and you helped! Thank you..." I saw her face blush and I let go and sat back down, she looked down with tears
"Thank you... Bach if you really are doing this for music, I hope to hear you.." that's the thing I didn't want to hear
"Well Clara, let me tell you something, that dream you had was reality..."
"Here's your coffee.." Clara didn't look up to assure she didn't ask her anything and then 7 minutes of me talking and sipping on our coffee she didn't understand but it clicked
"Bach.. I'm so sorry..." she started to tear up, she felt my pain, like to tell anyone else it's like I want to do that, but I don't, I'm glad she understood it
"It's fine Clara, the main thing is I'm going to try this out on Trinity to see if the effects are different but for now I don't know.."
"Can I be there too? And help you?" If she was attracted to me in the dream and seen something maybe she can see something else that'll help
"Yes Clara-" and I took one last chug of coffee
"Alright, lets get back and find out tomorrow alright?"
"O-okay..." we both got up and I paid at the register and I walked her to the station
"Bach..."
"Yes?"
"Thank you for being my friend, you helped me and now I want to help you, in anyway.." she got closer and looked into my eyes and her red eyes gleamed with the sunset a beautiful sight to see
"Okay Clara, I cant wait for it.." I bowed to her and I walked off, as I walked I turned around and made sure she was moving also, she was looking at the sunset, almost as she was waiting for it to go down, what patience...
