Song in My Heart – Chapter 4

My phone started to ring the second we got upstairs. I figured it was Rose
calling to tell me that she was on her way over but I should have known
that this was all one of Rose's tricks.

"Hey Kris how is your time with Mr. Right?"  "Just fine Rose, when are you
getting here? We just made snacks and we are waiting on you."  "Oh
yea...umm I'm not coming. See I only said that to get him in the door your
own your own now."  "You have got to be fucking kidding me!"

I forgot Chance was even in the room with me when I said that. Looking over
at him he raised an eyebrow and looked rather nervous as if he would dart
out of the room at any moment. Turning I sighed to myself and tried to
speak as calmly as I could.

"I'll give you a call later tonight WE will talk about this later Rose."
"Have fun lover boy" She said laughing and I just shock my head and turned
back to him throwing my phone on the bed.  "Rose isn't going to be able to
make it. Something came up and she was a bit frazzled on the phone."  "Oh,
well I hope everything is okay. I can go so I don't take up any more of
your time. I'm sure you have other things to do."

He got up quickly before I even had a chance to process what he was saying.
He was half way out the door when I reached out and grabbed his arm pulling
him back in the room. To say I was nervous was an understatement. So much
was going through my head in one single moment and then he looked at me and
the world stopped. I use to never believe that there was any truth in love
at first sight or even just looking someone can make the world stop
spinning. But in this moment with his golden brown eyes and his black and
orangish tinted hair that falling over them I knew without a doubt he was
it...he was the one. I don't think he was breathing as he stood with his
mouth slightly gapped open just looking at me. Slowly I removed my hand and
backed away to give him some space because beyond those eyes he seemed
truly terrified.

"Um...you don't have to go. I mean I won't keep you here if you don't want
to be but there is no reason why we can't just hang out, maybe watch a
movie or play some video games, or listen to music even?"  "Yea.."

He seemed to take a controlled deep breath and slowly come back into the
room giving a small shy scared smiled that I swear made my heart melt. I
wish that I could understand why this boy did this to me or even how he
could just turn my insides to mesh with just a mere smile. I smiled back
and moved over to my iPod docking station and turned it on.

"I'm not sure what last I was listening to but I figured some tunes might
help a bit and we can maybe sit and get to know each other."

He just nodded and made his way to sit at the computer desk while I sat
across from him at the edge of my bed. The first song that came on was
Pardon Me by Incubus and I saw him smile and nod which caused me to smile
and nod back.

"So, tell me why you moved to a boring place like this?"  That question
seemed to make him unease as he shifted in the chair and kind of looked
away from me. He was holding so much back and I could do nothing but wish
he would let it go.

"I don't know really my...my dad...decided it was time to get out of the
city."  "Ah, I'm guessing you didn't want to move out to a small town like
this one huh."  "It wasn't that really just..."

He closed his eyes and he seemed to tense up suddenly. Out of the corner of
his eye I could see a single tear fall and it broke my heart. I got up and
moved in front of him kneeling and reached my hand up to brush the tear
from his eye. He liked to have jumped out of the seat then and as I watched
him I could see the walls he has put up start to shatter.

"Don't touch me!"

I still stood there kneeling but giving him a bit more space. He started to
pant holding his chest and I couldn't take it anymore. I no longer was
going to let him push me away when he needed someone. I got up and stood in
front of him and just wrapped my arms around him and hugged him. My mom
always told me when you are connected to someone, like I felt I was
connected to Chance that you can share your energy with them and they could
feel it. I wasn't sure how true this was but I just closed my eyes and held
him even as he fought to get away and just tried to omit calming waves of
energy to try and calm him down. He fought but I didn't let go. He started
to cry and I didn't let go, and he finally broke down and I didn't let
go. I reached my hand up to softly stroke his hair and did the only thing
that I could think of to due and that was started singing.

I got a song in my heart, as it bleeds for you, it sings for you I got a
whisper in my soul; calling your name...it screams your name And I never
felt a love like this before...  And I never knew a heart could beat by a
name.  I've got a song in my heart, it beats for you, and it lives for you

It didn't take long for him to start to calm down in my arms, and he even
started to hold me back. Once he calmed down enough I slowly pushed him
back to sit on the bed and didn't say anything while I went into the
bathroom getting a cool cloth to place over his eyes. By the time I got
back he was gone.

(Chance's POV)

I can't believe I just broke down like that, in front of him of all
people. Him! His voice was like angels singing to me but an angel is not
what I need because I deserve to live with my demons. I deserve to live
with this pain that's inside because only until I have paid for what I have
done may then and only then when I begin to let everything go. That time
has not come yet so what else could I have done when I finally came to my
senses but grab my things and run. If I had stayed he would have asked
questions and questions lead to things I want to be as far away from as I
possibly can right now. I stood right outside my house panting not even
realizing that I ran a full sprint to get here. I pulled out my phone to
check the time and realized my dad should be home. I guess when it rains it
really pours. Thinking for a few moments I snuck in around the back because
the odds are he is already too drunk to notice me not being home on time
without notice. Sighing I made my way to the back opening the door as
quietly as I could but you know when you are responsible for bad things
happening bad things always have a way of finding you.  The second I turned
around from closing the door a hard quick strike came across my face
causing me to fall back against the door.

"Have you been out killing more people boy?!"  Hearing him even say that
just brought tears to my eyes and I just shook my head no looking down.
"Look at me when I'm talking to ya! Where have you been and why is the
house a mess?"

Another hit came this time swiftly to my side causing me to double over. He
was always careful in not hitting my face too much at least he had some
sense not to let people start to catch on. I could smell the strong whiskey
on his breath even has he walked across the room to get his bottle.

"I was out. A kid at school...well his friend invited me over. I'm sorry it
was stupid of me to go it will not happen again."  "You damn right it won't
happen again. You know you are to be in this house directly
afterschool. You better not have been out being a fagot ass either cause if
I find out your dead you hear me. I'll put you in the place you put your
mother and that's in the ground you hear!"

I've learned to accept his words and not say anything back other than a
"Yes Sir". As I begun to move towards the living room to pick up whatever
mess he claims was left in there is when I saw the bat in his hand and a
sinister smile come across his face. My eyes grew wide as I started to back
up towards the living room door.

"I don't think you really understand Boy. You mess up once and now you
learn a lesson to where you won't mess up again. Understand."

I was back in a corner and there was nothing that I could do. Perhaps one
day I will not have to endure the punishment, perhaps one day I will have
paid enough for what I have done. But today, today was not that day and
soon the darkness set in.

(Kristien's POV)

I can't explain it but I could hear Chance screaming for help. I had fallen
asleep not long after he left and even in my dreams I could hear him crying
for help. The pulse was so strong it woke me up causing me to jump out of
bed. It was then a broke out in a sweat as I tried by best to shake the
feeling I just had that something was wrong and Chance needed me. I walked
into the bathroom splashing some water on my face when I heard a woman's
voice saying "help him please." I spun around because it was so loud and
clear I swear someone was in the room with me. I couldn't ignore it. It was
like a force took over my body propelling me out the door and straight
Chance's house. What this was, I just hope it was not too late...
