Love at its toughest

13th Chord

CHAPTER 13

Everything goes right and well while we were training, except sa medyo nadidistract ako dahil nandun 'yung Kat at 'yung bata. Hindi ko alam kung bakit.

Jane also tried to be my friend today, and I thank her for that na ginagawa niya 'yun dahil mapapanis na ang laway ko dahil wala naman akong mga kaclose dito.

The training goes on 3 different levels. First is the vocalization, 2nd is the instruments, and 3rd is performing.

Meron 'din 2 managers ng recording company ng Retro na nakastand by dito. Maybe they were looking for new stars to be recruited.

"Uhm, Lauren..." Tinawag ang pagalan ko, it means ako na ang papasok sa recording room para ipresent and napili kong kanta. Nasa 3rd part na kasi kami ng training, at ang task naming ay pumili ng isang kanta na sa tingin naming mailalabas naming lahat ng kaya naming as a performer.

So we'd have to perform with instruments and ofcourse sing the song with ourselves.

My hands were shaking a bit when I walk close and closer to the area. Nakatingin siya saakin habang naka-smile.

I don't know, pero medyo nawala 'yung kaba ko nung nakita ko 'yong ngiti niya. And it's like kahit pagod na pagod na siya, hindi mo iyon makikita sa ngiti niya.

I can even see little sweats at the side of his face, but I can't see any tireness in his expression.

I held the neck of my guitar tightly and enter the room.

Umupo na ako sa high chair sa tapat ng mis at ipinatong 'yung gitara ko sa hita ko.

"You may start," I hear him say then raised his thumbs up.

His smile was all I got to start my performance.

I cleared my throat out of the mic then start playing my guitar.

I start strumming my guitar then sung the first verse,

When you hold me in the street

And you kiss me on the dance floor

I wish that it could be like that

Why can't it be like that?

'Cause I'm yours

I con't know why, but I felt different, ang naririnig ko lang ay ang sarili ko. It's echoing all over this room. And I felt a bit nervous on how it sounds outside.

And so I continued, as I open my eyes.

We keep behind closed doors

Every time I see you, I die a little more

Stolen moments that we steal as the curtain falls

It'll never be enough

I plucked my guitar as I roamed through the glass walls to see how everyone looks like. I can see Jane not so far just listening then showed a smile when our eyes met. Nakita ko rin na nageenjoy naman 'yung iba kaya gumaan ang loob ko.

And I can see Harris smiling at me, is it a good sign?

I just do what's right, sing and play in a way I know.

Up to the chorus I held my breath for a second then go on.

Why can't you hold me in the street?

Why can't I kiss you on the dance floor?

I wish that it could be like that

Why can't we be like that? Cause I'm yours
