Passion

It was 6pm, I was alone in the dorm room as Cindy went out with some friends earlier. Thus I decided to put my earphones on and listen to some music to try and forget for even a slight moment. But it was impossible, the frustration was still here, the fear, everything. Peter had made me a priority and would give me the biggest amount of money among all the people he helped, he worked hard, I suffered and they want to add more to that ? I clenched my teeth as the sound of the music didn't do nothing to me. I unplugged my earphones and sat down exhaling.

The sound of a knock later caught my attention as I flinched looking both ways. When my eyes went to the window I was surprised to see Miles waiting outside with a faint smile. He mouthed 'can you open the door' and I stood up realising he was waiting for like 30 seconds and I was just looking at him.
I walked to the window and opened it as he jumped inside. I immediately started looking away as I cleared my throat.

— What are you doing here..? I hesitantly asked. I shouted at him earlier and still haven't apologised so I didn't expect him to comeback so soon.

— What I can't visit my girlfriend now ? He asked in a playful tone as I squeezed my lips together. Relax I'm not here to talk. He said probably noticing my uneasiness.

I hate this situation, this shouldn't be happening, I'm scared to tell him everything but hiding it is just obviously causing a tension between us. I discreetly watched him as he opened one of my drawer confusing me.

— What are you doing ? I asked approaching him.

— Taking this. He said showing me the two pink sticks he bought me last time. I looked at him surprised. I haven't had the time to use it yet, what is he gonna do with that ?

— Why ?

— Follow me. He invited and slipped outside the window. I hesitated looking at him but seeing his pleading eyes, I couldn't resist anymore and just followed him.

In silence we started quietly walking through the hallways, I was still following from behind just trying to figure where was he taking me. When we finally stopped, I recognised the door of the theatre. I looked at him still confused.

— What are we doing here ? I whispered.
He didn't answer right away but instead handed me the two sticks looking at me.

— You're gonna let it all out. He said. If you can't tell me, let your music speak. He added as my eyes opened wide. Tears formed in my eyes as I threw myself at him tightly hugging him. He definitely is too good for me, I don't know what he saw in Gwen Stacy but I won't disappoint him, I can't. He's been the perfect boyfriend and friend to me, I'm really grateful to have him in my life.

— Thank you Miles... a lot. I said biting my lip. I needed this, and I was so upset it didn't even came to my mind in the first place.

— Anything for you. He answered stroking the top of my head. Go ahead. He then said breaking the hug and pointing the scene. I smiled at him and ran there positioning myself on the stool.

I put each stick in one of my hands and closed my eyes to think and feel the moment. I was here to exteriorise, the negative feelings that have been haunting me for the last few days, but at the moment, what I felt wasn't hatred, frustration or sadness. I tried to forget all these by listening to some music or just sleeping but by just his presence, Miles wiped these horrible feelings away like they never existed. What I feel, is love, warmth, tenderness and passion. Strong feelings, even stronger than my sadness. I opened my eyes and naturally started playing with all my soul, letting everything out I hit the drums like I was all alone in this room, but I could only think of him, and so I lift my eyes to him, still playing as his encouraging smile warmed my heart.

When I finished playing, Miles clapped with a huge smile and complimented me. I jumped out the stage and kissed him then we went to sit down on the audience chairs. I put my head on his shoulder as he was slowly stroking my hand.

— We have a philosophy test coming Monday.. I suddenly remembered letting out a faint gasp. It came out of nowhere but now I was doomed because I didn't take any lessons from the class.

— Don't worry I'll help you learn. Miles said.

— Thank you you're a life saviour.. I said letting out a sigh of relief.

— No problem. He answered. But I don't even think you need it Gwen, you're really smart. He noticed. It's like you're getting bad grades on purpose !
I exhaled biting my lip.

— It's stupid but... I just don't like what I'm studying. I admitted. I can't focus on class because it's not what I'm interested in at all. I added. I could feel his head turn as he looked at me.

— What ? But you got amazing grades in science, biology and sport ! He exclaimed surprised.

— Indeed, it's because I like it... a little bit. I shrugged. What I mean is I know this is not what I want to do later ! I explained sighing.

— Why are you at Visions academy then ? He curiously asked. I'm glad you came here though. He added making me chuckle.

— I came here on my father's decision. I said. He saw that I was good at sciences in my freshman year and I don't know.. he decided to put me here.

— What do you like ? He asked taking my hand.

— I love music, and dance. I confessed. He used to take me to dance lessons everyday until I was 15, he even used to teach there for a moment ! I said giggling at the memory. He also bought me my first drum set and let me learn to play. He used to be very supportive of my passions, but I guess when he saw my potential in sciences he just forgot about all of that.

— But you have great potential in music too. He said making me smile. I mean what you just did it was fire ! He added.

— You know the words to please me.. I playfully said taping his chest as he smirked grabbing my hand.

— You don't acknowledge your own worth. He said pecking the back of my hand.
