Thread: The Musician's Overture [GGentleman x Soft Strokes]

In honesty, Vivian had expected Cecilia to collapse into tears and beg for her to stay with her again. She knew the old Cecilia, and she knew this new Cecilia. But neither of them would ever be angry at her in her mind, and so as she heard the slamming of hands down on the table, Vivians entire body jerked backwards in surprise. The feeling, the force of passion behind her former lovers hands, the anger in her voice, all of it yet again stripped Vivian of the feeling of confidence and righteousness that shed thought shed feel, and when the girl was done, she didnt know what there was even to say at this point. Whether she wanted to be right, she knew she was wrong. Vivian had done all of this, on her own whims. She hadnt included Cecilia in her decisions, and she knew that, above all else, had been why the woman had broken down. She knew she should have gone to her and told her the plans she had, told her what she wanted and then had a definitive answer from her, but instead she shied away and hid, hid away from what she wanted. Vivians lips trembled as her hadns gripped the couch, her body physically leaning back against the cushions as though each of her words were physically weighing her down. CCeci Vivian shok her head slightly, if only to hide the tears flowing in it, I. I vont leafe, again, if zats vat you vant. I just vanted to to gife you zee choice this time That was a massive lie on her part, but she wanted to give Ceci solace. Not that she would leave -she couldnt leave after seeing her again- but that shed said it to give her the choice. But she also wanted the girl to be calm and collected, rather than filled with anger and malice. I know, I know, zis is all my fault Vivians fingers curled up, I nefer thought, what zis would do to you. i I told myself youd just move on and zatd be it, but, you didnt. You didnt move on. And, I just made you go backvards when you neezed to go forwards more than anything Sniffing, Vivian bent over slightly, as though now that weight was dragging her towards the floor, I-I nefer vanted to hurt you Youre zee last person in the world who deserves to get hurt like zat But I couldnt stay! Vivian gasped, You saw zee letters, Ceci! You watched me get rejected time after time after time! Fiolin plafers, a dime-a-dozen zey said! And, I vanted more! I vanted to be given the chance to shine, to finally do vat I vanted. And and our music, beautiful as it was, wasnt going to cut it! She hissed, her own anger flowing forward now, I had to do somethink! Efery day you told me I vas cut out for zis, zis wonderful career! Well, I took that chance! And now I hafe it! Growling, Vivian jerked her head up, only to catch Cecilias eyes once more. Seeing those orbs those beading, glistening orbs again, that anger she had vanished. Those yes filled with bitter regret and anger, those eyes that shouldve been happy, joyful and more. They broke her once more. Vivians body slowly slid back down against the couch, her muscles not wanting to support her with that. She wasnt the one who had the right to be angry now. Selfishness, that was what caused this. Vivian had taken matter sinto her own hands, and in turn, all this had happened. Her body trembled as she started to cry, tears pouring out of her face again as her eyes burned from all the crying that shed done. A silence fell over Vivian. It was a full minute of silence, broken only by sobs and tears. She couldnt form words, not with those eyes trained on her So, slowly, Vivian brought a hand to her face, staring down at Cecis lap. Taking a moment to shiver, she let out a small whimper, YYou still spvead your legs out ven you sit down She let out a weak chuckle, making gesture to the way the girl sat, Id always poke you right there when you did that you alwfays found that funny She sniffed, .zis zis is all my fault
