8. Spoken Truth
I could stay awake just to hear you breathing. Watch you smile while you are sleeping. While you're far away and dreaming .I could spend my life in this sweet surrender, I could stay lost in this moment forever. Every moment spent with you is a moment I treasure.
Next day Mina didn't show up at school, nor the day after tomorrow, nor next week. With every passing second that I couldn't see her I was becoming more and more worried. I was so frustrated by such a sudden departure that I became my own shadow. If before meeting Mina I was an annoying strangely silent boy at the end of the classroom constantly with his headphones on, now I became the strangely silent, but overly angry boy with his headphones constantly on and his brains off.
Don't wanna close my eyes. I don't wanna fall asleep.'Cause I'd miss you, baby and I don't wanna miss a thing.
I would go to school, sit at all or most of my classes looking and feeling like a zombie, I avoided skipping them because I hoped to sooner or later see her, though I never did. Then I would creep to the music room and as always find the door shut. I would stick my ear to the wooden surface, but not a single sound would come out a room. I would come back home, go upstairs, jump on my bed and lie there all day long until it was time to go to school.
Even Yoongi didn't bother asking me what's wrong. Not that he cared before, but even for me this behaviour was strange and my parents quickly noticed. My dad didn't think about it much, I could hear mom telling him to go and have a chat with me, but he would always find an excuse. My mom however didn't look over the situation so easily. I was pretty sure that she already started looking for a therapist.
'Cause even when I dream of you the sweetest dream would never do, I'd still miss you, baby and I don't wanna miss a thing
It lasted for a month, my mental and physical state didn't change until one gloomy winter's afternoon. As always the bell rung announcing the end of the lessons and everyone rushed out of classrooms and school hurrying themselves to get home and get started on doing whatever normal kids were doing as I stumbled to the music room. Even after this much time that has passed I still had little hope in my heart that was slowly dying.
I almost past by the room without checking, my eardrums were being blasted off with some hard rock piece. I didn't usually listen to that kind of music, but it pretty much summarised my inner world so I just let it be. As I was about to walk away something caught my attention. The door leading to the classroom was slightly open, temptingly inviting me to check maybe even come in.
I took out one earbud. The hard rock in other didn't really allow me to hear anything else but the cracking voice of the vocalist anyways, so I just let both of the earphones lie on my shoulders hanging from ny neck, wrapped around my collar. I took a step towards the room and practically glued myself to the wall next to it.
One note. One sound. One single piano key being pressed. It repeated itself over and over again to the point where anyone pressing the key would have went crazy from the sound melting their brain. Anyone unless someone who couldn't hear what it was doing.
Lying close to you feeling your heart beating. And I'm wondering what you're dreaming, wondering if it's me you're seeing then I kiss your eyes and thank God we're together and I just wanna stay with you in this moment forever, forever and ever.
With a little flame ot hope in my heart suddenly turning into a huge bonfire I pushed the door open.
I don't wanna close my eyes, I don't wanna fall asleep. 'Cause I'd miss you, baby and I don't wanna miss a thing.'Cause even when I dream of you, the sweetest dream would never do, I'd still miss you, baby and I don't wanna miss a thing.
"Mina."
As if she had heard me she turned around and our eyes met.
"Mina."
She stood up from the stool. Her lips moved as she mouthed something, but I was unable to understand what thanks to my blurry vision.
"Mina."
I said for the third time and she took a step towards me, when she started skipping my direction and finally fell into my arms as I strongly secured them around her thin waste squeezing her into my embrace. I could feel her smile while I squished her in my grip never wanting to let go of the angel that landed on Earth. I brushed my hand against her soft her and ran my fingers through it. I realised that my eyes were getting teary and I pulled away from a hug noticing that her cheeks were stained with tears too.
I don't wanna miss one smile. I don't wanna miss one kiss, well, I just wanna be with you, right here with you, just like this.
I smiled, it was hard to do, almost as if I had no control of my body, but I still smiled and she did too. But her smile was sad. I noticed her stare wondering all around as if she was looking for someone and just for a second my heart stung painfully. One thought crossed my mind that I immediately wanted to shake off, but couldn't. Yoongi. Was she looking for my brother?
It hurt to think that after not seeing her for a while, my angel, my inspiration, my addiction, my music, she would look for soemone else. For someone so dear to me, when I held her so close to my heart. Didn't she notice the way I looked at her? Couldn't she tell that her act was driving me crazy? Was it so not obvious that I wanted her just for myself? Oh how selfish I was.
I just wanna hold you close, I feel your heart so close to mine and just stay here in this moment for all the rest of time.
"Were you playing?"
I asked trying to mouth my question as clearly as possible. Stupid me, I didn't bring any pen nor a paper piece, but Mina seemed to understand me. She nodded and smiled taking my hand. My heart fluttered as she touched my skin. It felt as if nothing has changed, not a single second has passed since we had partured, not to mention that actually a month had wandered by, if someone had told me I wouldn't believe them, because my heart was beating just like before as if it haven't skipped a beat.
She took me to the piano. The keys seemed rather dusty, it was understandable. Except for one. And that only key dragged my attention. As if led by a magical, invisible thread I reached out for the piano key and pressed it. A soft sound escaped the instrument. The same sound I heard before coming in here.
I turned around to Mina. For a second her stunning beauty took my breath away and I blinked, but I needed to continue. "Mina, where were you?" I mouthed again, but this time she tilted her head in confusion. I cursed in my mind.
Thankfully she took out a pen and a notebook out of her backpack handing them to me. I quickly wrote down the question. As soon as she saw it her expression changed and she bit the inside of her mouth making me anticipate for her answer. I wanted to know. I needed to know.
Don't wanna close my eyes. Don't wanna fall asleep. Cause I'd miss you, baby and I don't wanna miss a thing.
Finally she handed me the notebook and I took in a deep breath. I told my parents that they won't need to come and get me that day, because I was going to the competition. And I told the teacher that I won't be coming to the lesson, so he went home. And we got the whole classroom for ourselves. Anger, confusion, sadness, it all stroke me at once. I couldn't lift my eyes at her.
I stroke the last sentence reading it again. And we got the whole classroom for ourselves. Ourselves. For me and her. She did it for us. One innocent wish to spend some time together took away the whole month from us. But I didn't regret it. Not now when I knew that I meant something for her. Meant. My heart shook. That night that she took time off to spend with me she met Yoongi. Did I still mean something to her? I could only stare into Mina's big bright eyes and hope for an answer.
I don't wanna close my eyes. I don't wanna fall asleep. 'Cause I'd miss you, baby and I don't wanna miss a thing. 'Cause even when I dream of you, the sweetest dream would never do, and I'd still miss you, baby and I don't wanna miss a thing.
