Friday Afternoon

[Melody Stuart]

Melody trase aer in piept, si incepu sa cante. Era una din melodiile ei preferate, si stia versurile pe de rost.

I'm not a stranger
No I am yours
With crippled anger
And tears that still drip sore

O armura pasi langa ea, cuprinzand-o de talie. Incepu sa danseze alaturi de bucatile din metal, care se miscau gratios pe ringul de dans.

A fragile flame aged
Is misery
And when our hearts meet
I know you see

I do not want to be afraid
I do not want to die inside just to breathe in
I'm tired of feeling so numb
Relief exists I find it when
I am cut

Facu o mica pauza, iar amura se opri. La fel se oprira si Bell si Alice, privind-o ingrijorate.
"-Nu am patit nimic!" le anunta ea.
"-Pai de ce te-ai oprit?" mormai Bells.
"-Scuze, vroiam o mica pauza" ii raspunse Melly. Incepu iar sa cante.

I may seem crazy
Or painfully shy
And these scars wouldn't be so hidden
If you would just look me in the eye
I feel alone here and cold here
Though I don't want to die
But the only anesthetic that makes me feel anything kills inside

In cele din urma se opri din cantat, iar armura ii facu o reverenta. Melody zambi, dupa care isi privi noile prietene. Stia ca vocea ei era cam slaba, si inceata. Dar spera ca totul sa fi iesit bine. Astepta cu nerabdare parerea lor...
