an empty room can be so loud;; (open)

[jaden mathew ballemonte]

Let's face it. School is just a time where people go to socialize with their friends, hear the latest gossip, partake in the use of drugs, and bash on the nearest fashion tragedy. And Jaden wanted no part of that. Yeah, he had plenty of friends here that he could be spending his lunch time with, but somehow the calling of his guitar was always stronger. He had it here for advanced musical class, which was really an excuse for anyone good at an instrument to get a free period. His guitar, or more correctly, his baby was kept in the music room all day until he took it home, and at lunch the music room was deserted. What more could a guy ask for?

Jaden made his way into the door as quietly as possible. He didn't want some teacher to catch him. After all, he wasn't technically supposed to be in here. Once in the door his feet flew to the oppisite wall where his guitar case was. He felt like he couldn't get there fast enough. He pulled it down from the shelf. His hands shook in anticipation, for right now he HAD TO play. Just had to. Jaden's shakey fingers managed to undo the latches and swing open the case. He picked up his baby and swung the strap over his shoulder. He pulled a pick from his pocket and began to play. The song just came to him, as they often did when he had the feeling of needing to play.

"I see a sparkle
Deep inside your eyes
As we sit and
Watch the world go by
And suddenly everything
Seems so beautiful tonight
And suddenly I feel
So alive
As we sit and
Take God's beauty in
And the clouds turn pink
As the night sets in
And suddenly it seems like your glowing
Shining in the night
And suddenly it feels like time is slowing
And everything feels so right
With you

Would you stay here now
Don't you make a sound
Let the world fade away, just fade away
Time stands still with you
I'm lost inside of you
As the stars shine"


The moments when Jaden played were moments away from life. It was like he was on the outside looking in on himself. Seeing this school, seeing the boy sitting in the music room in his jeans and button up shirt with the rolled up sleeves. He was seeing the song unfold, not creating it.

"And here we are
Lost in the moment again
And here I am
Not wanting this to end

So stay here now
Dont make a sound as we wait for the
End of time tonight
So stay here now
Don't you make a sound
Let the world fade away, just fade away
Time stands still with you
I'm lost inside of you
As the stars shine"

At the end of the hour, he would have to sit in the stuffy classrooms that kept him from the outdoors. Even in January it was beautiful. He would have to give his report in Biology. He would have to sit in hard chairs in front of plain, dull, and drab desks. But right now, all he had to do was sit, and play guitar. Jaden sighed as he realized that this song of his was ending.

"Stay with me tonight...
Stay with me tonight...
Stay with me tonight...

Don't make a sound"

And then, all too suddenly, the song was over.

♥; Madison Midnight
She can make the world Crazy;♥

Madison had to eat her own lunch that her chef had made for her, it was specially made so it balanced out the proper sugars and nutrients she needed to help her diabetes. She really freaking hated it right now. She sat in a quiet corner in the back of the music teachers office with a cute little pink lunch pale on the ground in front of her. The last thing that sat there was a cupcake. Chocolate with chocolate icing and sprinkles, all made with pure sugary sugar. She knew that she shouldn't eat it but she really really wanted to. Giving into temptation she happily munched on the cupcake and cleaned up her mess checking her make up in her pocket mirror.

She heard music coming from the class room and she tilted her head to the side cause a chocolate brown curl to lay in front of vibrant blue eyes. She knew no one was really supposed to be in here, she had special exceptions cause she didn't like to eat in the caf cause she hated checking her blood sugar in front of people. She hid behind the wall clutching her own folder of songs to her chest as she heard the singing. It was amazing, she glanced around the corner with shy eyes as she bit her lip hiding back behind the wall. He was really cute. She heard the music stop and she stepped out from behind the wall quietly.

CRASH So much for quiet. Converse had tripped over a knocked over music stand and she dropped her folder scattering music sheets on the floor. Her face was probably as red as her slim fitting red off the shoulder shirt that hugged her skinny frame tight but making the bump on her hip more noticeable. Stupid OmniPod. She brushed her black skinny jeans off and tucked her brown curls behind her ear as she got onto her knees and started scooping up her music sheets. Why was she always embarrassing her self? Gosh she was such a klutz all the time it sucked.

Jaden's song had just barely finished, but he didn't even have time to regret its passing for right afterward a loud crash came from behind him and he jumped in fright. Jaden turned to see the girl hastily gathering her papers after what had to have been a pretty nasty fall. What was she doing in here? Jaden quickly and without giving it much thought set his guitar aside and rushed to help her gather all of the papers. As his hands picked up the sheets he looked up at the girl, her face was flushed red but underneath that he could see the eyes of a beautiful girl.

His heartbeat was still racing from the shock of the crash when he had thought he was alone, now it started to beat even a bit faster with his nerves kicking in. The sudden thought sprung on him that she must have heard him playing the song. Now it was his turn to be emmbarrassed because he hadn't planned on anyone hearing the song that he had never practiced before. He had just finished thinking of all the words last hour and now already the song had had its first audience. Probably not the best start that it could have.

He ducked his head back down trying to hide behind his curls. It was just his luck that the first time he met this girl she will have already judged him based on a song not meant for others to hear. People did tend to judge him off of his music more than he thought should be nessacary.

"Are you okay?" He asked softly as he handed her the stack of papers he had collected. She had taken quite the fall, Jaden was filled with the worry that she had hurt herself.

Madison felt an extreme fierce blush cross her soft cheeks when he walked over and started helping her and she bit her lip trying not to stumble out of the words that wanted to cross her soft pink lips. "Uh. Yeah. Im fine. Just a little.... ok a lot embaressed." And the fact that she just mentioned she was beyound embaressed made her embaressed even more. Smooth move Madison, you all ready look like an idiot but now you sound like one to. She finished shoving her music sheets into her folder and shoved it into her bag standing up and managing a smile as she looked down at him.

"Im madison by the way...and I liked your song.... It was really good." Her smile seemed to come a little bit easier once she started up a bit of conversation.

NOT DONE. ill finish it in a few.
