Missing the Music

"Eh...I am more of a indoor person" he said

Lou's eyes went wide. "Oh my gosh! Hon, that's amazing!" She quickly stood up and sat next to him on the bench, she scootched him over. "Wanna start now? Or later?" She was about to say something else, and paused when she thought she heard something. She shook off the feeling of hearing a sad song. "I've never played an instrument. I've DJ'ed and sang. My mama says I've got a voice like a southern bell." She said with a grin. Her mama had indeed said that.

"I love my music." Lou said in response to Rose's comment.

"so do I but I just can't play instruments they don't like me much" she said remebering her broken flute and violin.

"You like to sing eh?" then an idea came "Maybe you can put words to that song"

Lou smiled. "I could certainly try." She said. She thought over the tune again, and attempted a few things. "Hey, I can sight read. I don't remember the music well, but I'll probably remember if I had the sheet music." She smiled. "Maybe I could borrow your note book just long enough to memorize the music to add words."

"Well, I've only ever picked up a guitar, but I just don't have too much patience. Here, with no iPod or turn tables, I'll any form of music I can get."

"Of course, you might just be joking." She said, turning back to Felix. It was hard to talk to so many people, by Louis was used to it.

"Here" he said an slowly handed her the notebook

Lou gladly took the note book. Then she realized how he'd handed it over slowly.

"You know you don't have to. in fact, I wouldn't mind if you played it everyday so I could get to know it. It would be much nicer. I just wouldn't have as much time to work on it." She said with a sweet smile. She wondered if there was anything else in the note book Felix didn't want anyone to see. She would gladly hand it back and listen to him Play. One, he was amazingly good. Two, she knew she'd be tempted to flip through the note book if she had possession of it overnight.

"It's fine just once a girl that pretended to like me wanted to borrow a different notebook and she burned it" he said "I'll gladly play more music"

Lou's eyes went wide. Burned it? How cruel. "Why? Why would anyone burn a notebook? Especially one that has songs written by a...uh, professional." That was the only word she could come up with. It was unnecessary. Why she had done that, it couldn't be a real good reason. "I won't burn it. I'll give it back during the day and use it at night. That way, I can hear you play, but still have time to write. How's that?" She asked. That would work. Plus, it would be pretty hard to burn something with such lovely music.

"That's fine" he said and for the first time a a couple of years he smiled

Louis smiled warmly, and her smile grew bigger. The boy in front of her, although a year younger than her most likely, had a very nice smile. "You don't smile a lot, do you?" She asked. She had thought, maybe asking him she could get to know him.

"No, I haven't actually smiled in a couple years" he said

"Well, it's nice to know I was the one to finally succeed." She said, grinning even bigger.

Felix laughed "Haha! Hey do you want to go swimming?"

Saurin instantly got worried. He hated water, swimming in general, but he didn't like turning down people's offers.

"That'd be great! Even though I can't swim." She really couldn't. Lou loved going to pools. But she couldn't swim. Not an actually recognizable stroke.She could float by lying on her back. She couldn't even tread water. But she could float. Which was all that mattered to her.

"I can teach you" Felix said getting up and he went over to his bed and dropped onto his stomach and grabbed his suitcase and fished through it until he found his swimming suit
