Soleil P.O.V
"She will be here in a week" I smiled, looking down at the adoption papers. "I'm glad, I haven't seen you smile like that in awhile. '' Chole hummed softly, leaning on the railing of the rooftop. I smiled brightly to her "I'm finally doing something, I'm finally putting meaning into my life again" I hugged Chole, my tears wetting her shirt, "I'm going to be there when no one else was" I smiled brightly. I feel Chole's soft hand wipe my tears. "When did you get so…" I watched her hold her tongue, "Nothing, I'm glad you are happy" She smiled. She grabbed my hand, "we should probably get going before we miss class" She wouldn't look at me when she spoke. I gave her hand a small squeeze. "Okay," I smiled brightly, I'm glad to still have someone.
*Ts to after school*
I yawned as I went to go see Nova, they allowed me to go and see her as everything got situated. "Soleil" she smiled brightly, running up to me. I have never seen her so excited. "Hey, have a good day at school?" She nodded her head quickly, "I thought it would be just like my old school but it was nice, I even made a few friends" her cheeks were rosy red as she spoke. " I'm glad" I smiled, "Well, Miss Mio said we could come over". I watch her eyes lit up, " Really?" She was so happy she danced around the room with excitement. I told the CPS workers where I was taking her. I let out a sigh as I sat down in the driver's seat. Nova's eyes were glued to the window, as I started the car. The car ride quietly, beside her choosing songs off my phone. "You write music?" She asked me, "Don't listen to that!" I said in embarrassment. "Huh? Why? I bet you have a pretty voice" She smiled as I rolled my eyes, I sighed softly. "One song" I gave in. "Yay!" She cheered, I heard my soft piano, forty-two seconds went by, and yet my voice was not heard. I smiled to myself, "Sol, where is your voice?" She looked over at me. I sighed again, "I'll sing it at Ryuko if she has a piano" She smiled looking back out the window. After half an hour we got to her house. I could feel my heart dancing as I knocked on the door. She hugged me tightly, "Finally! We have been waiting for you since last Friday" She smiled, pulling away. "Sorry, I had to go to court"
"To get custody of me" Nova chimed in cheerfully. "W-what?" Ryuko looked at us with a shocked expression. Nova and I giggled together, "Yeah, our mom hasn't been so nice to us" I chuckle. "I'm sorry to hear that" She responds like everyone else. "It's fine, but now I'm in school and everyone is so nice," Nova smiled happily. "Well come in, I made cookies there in the kitchen" She spoke softly. "Mio, Do you have a piano?" Nova excitedly asked. I felt derid as Ryuko opened her mouth. "Yeah, I got one when I moved here" I was confused, "Why? You can't play piano, can you?" I watched her shake her head, "I don't know how to play piano, I just thought it would look nice in the house" I watched her play with her fingers. "But you can," She said quietly, our eyes meeting. "Du bist so grausam" (You're so cruel) I said softly, looking into her eyes. I could tell she didn't understand me, "Well show me where the piano is" I smiled softly. "But I want a cookie first," Nova pulled at my shirt. "Okay, but don't act like you five" I moved her hand, "I can take her to the kitchen," Liam said to me, "Yeah, but you can only have two," I told Nova as she followed Liam to the kitchen. "Come on" Ryuko grabbed my hand leading the way. I couldn't help but rub the back of her hand, "Are they soft?" I looked away from ours looking at her. "Yeah, they are" I looked back at the ground feeling embarrassed. "Is that how you remember them?" I looked back at her, her eyes staring back at me. "Yeah, but they were a bit smaller" I smiled sweetly at our hands. "Du bist so kalt für mich" (You're so cold to me) Even though I said that my heartfelt warmth. "I don't understand what you are saying...Sunshine" I looked back at her but our eyes didn't meet. "Don't worry about it" I held her hand tight. It's wrong to keep these feelings alive...but I have always been selfish. "Well, here we are" She let go of my hand to open the door. The room was confronting. It has bookshelves, a grand piano, a fireplace, it made me feel at home. I touched the piano, "It's like mine" My finger gently rubbed against the keys. "What song are you playing?" She leaned up against the wall next to the piano. "It's a song called Would you be so kind(- Dodie). I made it for a girl I used to know" I sat down on the chair in front of the piano. "It's only fair you play it for me" She gave me a dorky smile. "And why is that?" I smiled back at her. "Because of our dance, I sang for you" She looked up from the ground and back into my eyes. "So sing for me" I felt as if my heart was going to explode, "W-whatever, F-fine" I looked away, a light color of pink dusted my cheeks. I took a small breath as I started playing, closing my eyes. "I have a question, It might seem strange, How are your lungs? Are they in pain? 'Cause mine are aching, Think I know why, I kinda like it, though, You wanna try?" I sang softly, feeling Ryuko's eyes on me. "Oh, would you be so kind as to fall in love with me? You see, I'm trying, I know you know that I like you but that's not enough, So if you will, please fall in love, I think it's only fair, There's gotta be some butterflies somewhere, wanna share? Cause I like you but that's not enough So if you will please fall in love with me" I opened my eyes looking at ryuko. She was smiling, god don't let me be selfish.
