Tangled Last Song Novels & Stories

Behind them, Velvet collapsed its grand, terrible curtain falling for the final time. But their story wasn’t over. Not yet.

The woman smiled at me throught our reflection in the mirror. She just finished braiding my flowing black wavy hair. "That's the theme song of your favorite disney move, Tangled. Have you forgotten about it, hmm, sweetheart?" She really has this gentle voice. I could nearly sleep because of that. My brows furrowed."Oh, but I think you're humming it wrong, mom!"

I've thought about her since I got locked in here, I don't think I've realized it but Cass and I have a lot in common, she understands me more than I understand myself and we haven't even known each other for that long. But the question still stands, where does that leave Olivia? Things with Olivia are too complicated, it wouldn't be like that with Cass, we'd just fuck and smoke weed all day every day. But at the same time, I know how toxic that would turn out and I don't need another one of those. I sigh, turning my head to where Diego is singing his ass off. Jail is hell. Hearing Diego sing while we're in jail is worse than hell. I'm laying on the cold metal bench, Diego is standing by the

Coincidently the song Lights Down Low was thundering downstairs, which made me redder than a clown’s nose. ‘’Luo, leave this man. He will bring you only problems.’’ He started nibbling on my ear, and I had to use all my willpower to stay focused. ‘’What do you mean?’’ ‘’We both want the treasure, and we won't stop until one of us take it. I will use every measure possible the same way as he will. That’s why you have to stay away from him.’’ ‘’Do you think I’m very pleased to be a part of this?’’ I was lucky I was still able to speak in full sentences. His mouth was making me crazy. Now he was sucking the skin on my neck and licking it.

Then came the tenth betrayal. The eleventh. All the way to the ninety-ninth. I heard the system question Luna, "Host, this is already your ninety-ninth reincarnation. Haven't you had enough fun yet?" Luna answered without a care, "This is the last one. Once I complete my hundredth conquest, I'll settle down and live a good life with Julian."

It felt as if a dull knife had been driven into my heart, only to turn into a sharpened blade that twisted relentlessly inside me. The pain was so intense I could barely breathe.

They hoped anyway, grasping onto my words until everything was gone. One night only, Grasping sheets, A crinkled quilt, The rising sun, One last good-bye, baby, I sing. The beat picks up, and . . . The butterflies, they’re nothin’, The heart pounds, mean nothin’. One night, that’s all you get, It’s all we got, take it now, One last good-bye, I’ll give to you, One last good-bye, baby. I strummed the last chords of the song, the final words crushing everything the song built it up to be. But—hey, if they were gonna make me sing a fuckin’ song, don’t expect it to be a love ballad. It’ll be the damn truth.

When the area around her darkened until nothing could be seen, she begged softly one last time. "I don't want to be alone anymore." A dense mass of black silently gathered together and formed a vaguely humanoid figure. Then a scratchy, deep rumbling noise sounded above Arias' head. "Aria."

“It’s nice seeing someone take an interest in such an old song.” Shiele took a deep breath “why can’t I talk, this place is changing me” she composed herself “The song was beautiful” she managed to whisper, her confidence building from the boys comfort she rushed out her next question so quickly he was barely able to make out what she said “What was it about?” She had never felt this nervous around someone before but smiled inwardly that she was able to speak to him. “The song is about the last of the elves in Ethalas and how they were destroyed by the druids”

'Cause all of my life, I've waited for this day. To find that once in a lifetime, this is it, I'll never be the same. You'll never know what it's taken me to say these words. And now that I've said them, they could never be enough. As far as I can see, there's only you and only me. xiana kissed kino's forehead so kino closed his eyes as he continued to sing and play the guitar. This is the last time I'll fall in love. Last time i'll fall in love.

This f*ck hasn't shut up since we got here, alone, in solitude, with nothing but myself and my mind to deal with. I listened to her last single over and over again, well into the night, taking it apart word by word, line by line. I guess I know now why this one was haunting me. It was her goodbye song. I finally cracked the code. Like f*ck!
