I had the cigarette between my lips as I climbed up the metal steps as quiet as I could. It was getting dark out. Raf and Aric had been texting me, wanting to know about nest night. I told them I would be there later. We weren’t going to have a nest night tonight. Unless Mac wanted to head it up.

Which was risky.

It was like I was just giving up all the power I worked so hard to get.

Just putting my hand out and saying take the fucking thing and that was that.

Maybe that’s exactly what was happening.

Time would eventually put me in a position to get the hell out of BC.

I just needed a way to keep Mel with me…

I pulled myself to the top step and I heard the sound of my keyboard playing.

I stayed quiet and hurried to kill off my cigarette. I flicked it off the railing to the ground down below.

Then I crouched and watched.

Mel had pulled an old desk chair to the bed and sat in it, the keyboard in front of her.

She was wearing really short shorts that climbed way too far up her legs.

She had on an old flannel shirt of mine that looked more like a cardigan or something.

The sleeves went well over the back of her hands, even with them rolled up a bunch of times.

If that wasn’t the greatest sight in the world, I didn’t know what was.

Seeing her sitting in my secret room, wearing an old shirt of mine, without much else on besides that, playing a song.

A soft and sweet song too.

She hit a wrong note and stopped.

“Fuck,” she whispered to herself.

She ran a hand over her messy hair and took a deep breath.

Then went right back at it.

This time, she hit the right note and kept going.

She was getting better at it.

I knew she was skipping classes like crazy. All she wanted to do was hide out in my secret room and sleep and play the keyboard. And play with me.

I leaned forward and put my hands to the open window.

My eye throbbed in pain. My lip tasted like blood. It was hard to breathe through my nose too.

But in that moment, none of that stuff mattered.

It was about listening to Mel play.

With each note, I felt more alive and more healed.

Whatever that meant.

She finished her song and quickly turned her head.

She gasped when she saw me.

“You scared m-”

She cut herself off.

She covered her mouth.

“It’s nothing, love,” I said.

“It’s never nothing, Barr.”

I stayed outside the window. “I didn’t mean to interrupt you. Keep playing. I need this right now, Mel.”

“What’s going on…”

“Nothing bad,” I said. “I promise. Do you love me?”

“Yes. You know that.”

“That’s all I need to know. Play for me, love.”

Mel faced the keyboard again.

I stayed outside the window.

I lit a cigarette and watched how nervous she was now.

She finally shut her eyes and took a deep breath.

She started to play and it was perfect.

I turned and sat down outside the window, my back against the old bricks.
