Pain
never truly goes away, until you find something deeper and meaningful that
cures the heart and fills it with love.
That
is what Aurora desperately wants to believe. That somehow her music can save
her, or even touch the unreachable heart of the guy she has liked for years.
Rora
yearns for his attention and wants to experience this so-called love that could
possibly end her long suffering and inspire her to chase after her dreams.
In
deeply understanding the feelings of others and herself, will Aurora give up on
ever finding true happiness, or will an intriguing soul teach her about the
greatest song ever written?

belief is that imaginations can never be too wild. If you’re thinking it then
the story is already written inside your head. It’s simply time to share it
with the rest of the world.
The Right Song Excerpt - “The First Performance”
Daegan mouths to me that I’m next. An
onset of nervousness engulfs me. I say a silent prayer that I don’t screw this
up and embarrass myself.
Walking over to the side of the stage, I
smile at the singer as she makes her way off. She doesn’t look too pleased by
her performance. She sounded okay to me.
The MC hops up to the microphone in a
jolly manner. He asks everyone how they’re doing so far and then after a little
chit-chat and some failed jokes, he finally looks at his cue card.
“All right, put your hands together for
Aurora Law!”
Huh? He chopped off the rest of my last
name.
I swallow back the stiffness in my
throat, clutch my guitar, and head up the steps.
Everyone claps as I make my way to
centerstage. Daegan’s right—you can’t really see the faces of the audience with
all the light focusing on the stage.
I glance behind at the band and ask if
they know Kelly Clarkson’s ‘Walk Away’. The drummer is the only one familiar
with the song, so I tell the others to let me lead with my guitar and just fall
in with the beat.
It’s an up-tempo song. I figure it’ll
give the energetic crowd something to rock to. Hopefully, I can pull this off.
Edging back to the microphone stand, I
inhale a soft breath and try to spot his face for motivation. I didn’t think
I’d be able to make him out in this dark room, but somehow I do. Daegan’s on
his feet behind the audience. His eyes lock with mine, eagerly waiting for me
to deliver something great.
I don’t want to let him down. I don’t
want to disappoint myself.
My chest relaxes. Melodies float around
in my head. I hear the harmonies. I can do this.
