"How did you do all of this?" I asked them. Killian held my hand and faced me. Mal just smiled behind him.
"You want to cover songs in a recording studio right?" He softly asked me. I smiled and nodded. Since I was a kid I wanna do this."Heiro and I made this. It was supposed to be a vacant room but I asked mom if it's alright if I make a recording studio and she agreed. Do you like it, Vey?" Mal excitedly said.I looked at the designs, the piano, the sound systems, all there is in a real recording studio. I can't believe it's really here.Although, I always wanted to record in a real studio with music producers and directors but their efforts are really...I can't explain it. It's unexplainable."We know it's not the exact studio with directors and producers..." Killian said but I did not let him finish his speech."Are you kidding me? I-I love it. This is really incredible you guys, I mean no words can express how thankful and excited I am right now..." I didn't get to finish what I was saying because I got emotional. No one's ever done this for me.No one. Not even my parents, because I hid my bucket lists and I don't share this kind of stuff with them.I guess the teacher's project made sense, if I had not put this on our list I would not be able to witness this effortly made studio."So are we just going to stand here and cry? Let's start singing you guys!!" Mal operated the machines and Killian grabbed the guitar.We were strumming the guitars and banging the drums. The melodies flowed in as I sang my heart out.Right now I am singing one of my favorite Christian songs. This kind of song really strengthens me because it reminds me that this world here that we're living in is temporary and finally, I'm one of the chosen ones to go up there (If you know what I mean) earlier than any of you.Right now, I am feeling so blessed and refreshed."That was great Vey, you really have a golden voice. How about a duet? Heiro, you know how to sing right?" He knows how to sing? Woah. He is talented alright. No wonder he's popular."If that's okay with Race."He looks at me, I give him a smile in reply then I ready my microphone and headset.
"Let's start" He started strumming the guitar, and we're going to sing a love song. My favorite love song to be exact. I have no idea how he figured out my favorite song, it really does not matter.Singing.I closed my eyes while singing. I just want to feel this song right now. I want to be a princess and for once be in a fairytale.After three or two minutes of singing together there was silence. I am blown away, he really has the voice. I almost thought he was my prince charming because of his singing voice.But then some of his ways in singing reminded me of Roro again. We were always singing together and sometimes I still dreamt of us singing together in the garden."Woah you guys are a perfect match. I am in love with you right now. I hope you guys get viral" Wait what? Viral? What's Mal talking about? We were just recording."Huh? Viral?" I confusedly look at Killian who's still holding his guitar like a baby."Oh yeah. That was recorded not only on the tape but also on video." He said calmly. Oh. I didn't know that."Vey!! I'm gonna give all of these tapes to my step dad so he can put in on the radio for everyone to hear" Mal said excitedly. Yeah, almost forgot that her step dad owns a radio station. Now I'm getting nervous.What if they don't like it? What if I'll be judged? Or bullied again? Or hated? Or"Relax Race. You were amazing. Everybody will love your voice. And I'll also post this video on my page. If that's okay with you?"Why are they doing this to me? I just wanna record a song but they're doing so much. My mind is still buffering.
I can see in their eyes, the happiness and joy they are feeling right now. How can I let them down and reject their kindness? They're smiles are too priceless to see."Well, I was thinking...Okay. I agree. You can do whatever you want" Then Mal jumped out of happiness and Killian instantly hugged me.I guess there's nothing wrong to be heard just this once. Either way, I'm not going to lose anything else because I sang a song or two.Like my favorite line of a song"Sing, sing a song. Sing of good things not bad, sing of happy not sad"
I suppose I'll be singing a lot of songs starting now because of this studio."Thank you Mal and Killian, very much. You don't know how happy I am deep inside. Thank you for making me sing." And we did a group hug that lasted for five minutes, we almost forgot that we have class at six.Both Killian and I hurried back to the campus so that we won't get a penalty or detention. I want to attend school without a dirty record on my portfolio because that would be the only thing I could give to my mum and dad since I know I could not graduate.
Now that I think about it, it really is quite sad that I could not finish whatever I have started. But just like my passion for singing, I might not be around any longer in this world. At least recording some of it would leave a bunch of memories for my loved ones to see and hear.
This is truly a dream come true!
Time flies so fast that I did not even notice it's the last week of August. I've been very busy also because Killian and I were assigned to sing an original country song in honor of the Language Month celebration this Friday.We've been practicing but most of the time having fun on the things that we're doing.Oh I have crazy news, our video having a duet went viral. Crazy right? I never thought it would be a hit and the cover of songs Mal gave to her step dad was a hit as well.Everytime I turn on the radio, I hear a lot of listeners texting the DJ to play my cover songs. How cool is that?"Race we need to do our last practice now in the theatre hall" Since then Killian and I have been inseparable. It's like our bodies are glued together. Everytime we have an activity that is done by a pair, we instantly stare at each other giving a signal.And now we are heading to the theatre hall together for practice. Mom and Dad
"Y-you don't know what happened." That was the only phrase she could say.Please, I thought this was a scary fight. Now I think I'm the bad girl here. Somebody give me a lioness, not a kitty cat."Maybe, but I do know that you're being desperate. He's never coming back to you so just move on. Go find another toy to play with. That's what you're good at right?" After I said that she slapped me again. Is that all she can do? No pulling of hair? Tearing of clothes? Throwing of high heels like I always see in the movies?"She's all yours. Do whatever you want with her" My heart skipped a beat. W-what? Is she going to leave me with these pervert looking guys?No. Please no."Go get the camera ready Gabe. This is going to be fun" He put on his evil smile. God help me. I don't want to die right now.Just close your eyes Veronika. This is all just a dream. A nightmare to be exact. Close your eyes and everything wi
Killian took me home safely yesterday. He told my parents what happened and that he was gonna take care of it. He also said that it would be best if I would be absent the whole day today but I insisted on going. I don't want to be absent because if I do, they would probably think that I'm scared of them and I will never give them that satisfaction until my last breath. I changed my clothes and got out of the house after eating my breakfast. I'm now riding a taxi on my way to the campus. After twenty minutes with a traffic delay I finally arrived at campus. I paid the driver my fare and got outside of his taxi. Walking alone, I always put my earphones on so I dont have to hear their nonsense gossip everyday. I mean why talk about something that isnt true or if it is true why waste your time on that? Time is too precious to waste. At least for me it is. I am still walking but I sensed something strange
Two weeks have passed since that fiasco. Everything went smoothly, after that talk we had with the Dean. She then met with the faculty about the case, and they decided to expel Sasha and her minions due to the embarrassment they had caused on campus.That exact night, the Dean, I mean, auntie, visited me at home, then she told us about their final decision. Fortunately for those three, I begged my auntie to change their decision because if they expelled them, no other campus would accept them. Their future will be ruined, and I don't want that to happen to them. I know they also have future plans in life that they want to achieve.She hesitated at first, but I didn't give up on as
"I don't want to watch movies anymore. Let's go to the garden." He took the tray that I was holding and headed straight to the garden. Wow. He could've at least waited for me, right? What a gentleman, indeed, Killian.Be thankful he helped you with the tray.I'm not talking to you anymore. I've had enough of you today.Both of us were walking towards a certain spot.I saw him sitting on the ground with a blanket and a basket. How d
"It's great to be with you on a day like this Mal" Sitting here in the park full of people and watching kids playing around makes me forget everything that is happening to me right now."I know right. So, how are you, my dearest Vey?" She asked me while eating her sweet corn. It is our favorite food to eat here aside from the street foods, I seldom eat street foods because the doctor told me so.She says it is bad for my health and it will only trigger more of my cancer cells. Of course we don't want that to happen. That is why we should obey the doctor and avoid the prohibited stuff, am I right or am I right?"I'm fine, nothing's changed. Well except for the part where my legs are becoming weak and I have a lot more bruises now than before...." I answered her half-heartedly.Yes, I am doing my best to feel good and be good. I don't want to become a nuisance, just seeing the people I love worrying about me makes me feel a b
Saturday, 6 PM."Sweetheart, are you sure you can go to that ball?" Mum worriedly asked.Since this morning I really felt sick. I was vomiting inside my comfort room for half an hour. I don't know but I think my condition got worse. And it had to be this day of all the days."Yeah mum. Nothing to worry about. Mal is going with me but I'll give you a call if something comes up, okay?" I told her that and then kissed her goodbye.Waiting outside was our ride. Mal's already inside the rolls so I rushed walking to get inside. I was stunned the moment I got inside the car, it was astonishing. I mean, this has got to be the best car I have ridden on."Woah. What's with the bag Vey? Is something wrong?" Mal asked. I shook my head telling her nothing was wrong. I don't want to ruin the night.As to what that anonymous guy instructed in the letter. I wore my navy blue tube dress with a pretty necklace that has a V
Slowly my consciousness went back and I felt like someone was carrying me. Opened my eyes and saw his face full of tears and worries."K-Killian..." I said as if I was whispering. I still couldn't feel my body. I'm scared. What if this would be my last night? No. Please no, give me another day.Now that I know who this guy really is, I need to know him better. I need to be with him and my family a little bit longer. Please give me this day, Lord. I promise I will tell him everything and I wont ever hurt him anymore."Shh...Don't say a word baby, okay? You are alright. I promise." He says. Reassuring me by forcing a smile on his face. He placed me in a bed and I was then rushed to the emergency room. He took me to a hospital, that's why the smell was so familiar.A bunch of people entered the room.I was surrounded by doctors and nurses. They were all busy doing some sort of stuff. An anesthesiologist then approached me
