Chapter 1- Every bit of my heart and soul

Selena’s POV (Point Of View):

The crowd cheered as the last act came on. My heartbeat doubled its usual speed while I let my shoulder length, wavy brown hair out of its high ponytail, letting it fall into a cascading waterfall. “You’re up next, Luna!” I heard someone shout, using my stage name, Luna. Thank god i had a stage name, I can’t let anyone know my real name, or else I’d be screwed. I felt my hands sweat and my breathing rise, just like my first time performing here at The Moonlight. Except this time, it wasn’t my first time, nowhere even close, it was more like my millionth, well, it felt like that. “You’re up, Luna!’’ the same voice shouted, “Show them what you’ve got.’’ I grabbed my trusting guitar and walked on stage. As soon as the lights landed on my tanned skin, and the audience yelled out in excitement, all my worries and fears were gone. I was home, where I belonged.


I sat down on the worn out stool and place my brown, classic guitar on my lap. I smiled at the audience from the bottom of my heart. It didn’t matter if I didn’t know them and they didn’t know me, my songs brang everyone together. I did a few adjustments to my guitar and chose a random song to play from my mind. I chose one of my classic songs I always play here and did a few strums before I got into the mood. I shut my eyes and felt the lights dim. “This song is dedicated to my father who passed away 6 months ago, and to my mother who is still with me,” I told the audience with a lump in my throat. They clapped, but no cheering. This was my moment, my time to shine, and to let these strangers know my deep feelings, in song.

I strummed my guitar and started playing the notes off by heart. Then my voice joined in, singing the lyrics I will always know:

"Please don't walk away,
Please don't turn your back,
Please don't say no once again.

Cause I need you here,
I need your face,
I need to cuddle to you once again.

Please don't start a new life,
When you still have me in the old,
I'm staying in the old so please come back,
Don't leave me once again here,
All alone,
I need you."

I sang the whole song with all my heart and every bit of my soul. Once it finished, I was close to tears. The audience got stood up out of their chairs and clapped so loud, I couldn’t even hear myself think, but I didn’t mind. I opened my sea blue eyes and bowed my head. It felt so good to be up here.


Chapter 2- Hypnotised
Kyle’s POV:
I walked through the doors to the bar. I was alone, but didn’t mind. This seems like an interesting place, I thought to myself. “One Lemon, Lime and Bitters,” I told the person behind the bar, “Bottle, no glass.” I took my drink to a table in front of the stage, right in the middle. A girl on the stage had her back to me. She had shoulder length brown hair that bounced with every movement. A guitar was on her lap. The audience was screaming ‘Encore, encore!’ I looked around the club, The Moonlight. It seemed like a nice little place. I heard a guitar strum and turned back to the stage. The girl was going to sing. I took a sip just as she started. After the first word, I was hypnotised. Such an angel like voice, she could sing a nursery rhyme and it’ll still be great. I looked up with amazed eyes. But what I saw blew me away even more. This girl, she had these sea blue eyes that anyone can get lost in, it felt like they were looking into my soul. My mind was blank for the rest of the song, all I knew is that this girl was like an angel, and I had to find out who she was.
Once the song finished, everyone around me stood up, clapping and cheering. I would of stood up and done the same, but I was frozen, breath taken, surprised, and all things like that. My mind was still blank; all I could do was stare at this girl on the stage in front of me.
That’s all I did, until she disappeared, then a few minutes later I snapped out of it. I stood up from my chair and rushed back stage, wanting, needing, to find that girl. I looked all around, checking everyone back there. I watched carefully, looking for those sea blue eyes that stole my breath away, or that amazing brown waterfall of hair, or even listening for that angelic voice. But I got nothing. No sea blue eyes, no brown hair that bounces with every movement, not even that angel voice. I sank down to the floor, disappointed I missed her.
A black hair man walked past me and gave me a weird look. “Are you looking for the girl who sang last?” He asked in a deep voice. “Yes, is she here? What’s her name?” I asked in a rush, hoping I didn’t miss her. “She left a couple of minutes ago. Her names Luna,” He announced, walking off. Luna, I thought, Luna, what a beautiful name, just like her. I called after the man, “When does she work here?” The guy turned back to look at Kyle, “Every weekend night.” And with that he turned his back and walked away. “Every weekend night aye...” I mumbled to myself, “Well tonight’s Sunday, so I have to wait ‘till next weekend to see her again.” Sighing, I got up and left The Moonlight, knowing I’ll be back soon enough.


Chapter 3- The Bump
Selena’s POV:
I made it to school early, like any other day. I walked past everyone staring at me, and not cause I looked great, but the complete opposite. I'm the type of person you consider to be a nerd at school, I have glasses, hair tied back in a high ponytail, and the perfect grades, I never get anything less than an A. So this made me unpopular, but I didn't mind. I just wanted to get good grades, nothing less. Having friends or not didn't matter to me, as long as I have the best grades and make my mum feel proud of me.
But she didn't really notice my grades; she didn't really seem to want to notice me after the accident. The one that killed my dad, the one that she thought was all her fault, since she was the one who was the one who distracted my dad when he was driving. She couldn't face me after that. I think it's cause she can't help but hate herself for limiting my time with him, and she used to say I look like him, so that makes it even harder for her.
And to make matters worse, she is engaged to someone else! Steve, who has twins, a boy and girl, and is divorced. I don't like any of them. They don’t feel right. I tried to tell mum but she wouldn't listen. She said I should move on, like she is. But she's not moving on, she's trying to forget the past, like it never happened!
A tear escaped my eye, and I quickly wiped it away. I couldn't think about this now, I had an assignment to work on, and I had to finish the extra credit. I rushed off to class, hoping it will just finish quickly so I can get to work at lunch.
The bell rang and I was first at the door. In a complete rush to get to the library first, before it opened, so I could get a good window spot to work at.
I rushed past everyone, hoping no one was looking at me, I didn't like the attention at school, I only liked it when I was singing. I rounded a corner, knowing I was close to my destination. Then I smacked into something, a person, a boy. And to make it worse, the boy was one of the most popular boys in school, Kyle. I gasped, more angry than surprised, disappointed that I was going to get to the library later than planned. I bent down to pick up my books, hearing all of Kyle's popular friends giggling at me. I blushed and saw Kyle helping me, oh that was just great, now I'll be the talk of the school.

Kyle's POV:
I helped this nerdy looking girl pick up her stuff, hoping she wasn't angry with me. I was just minding my own business, hanging out with my friends, when she came out of nowhere and bumped right into me. I should be the one angry at her, not the other way round, but I wasn't the kind to get angry too easily about nothing.
I bent down and grabbed her books. I saw her name written on them in curly neat writing, Selena. What a nice name, I thought. I stood up the same time she did. Suddenly, I was caught off guard. Her eyes, those sea blue eyes, though I haven't met this girl before, those eyes felt like I knew them already. And though they were behind nerdy glasses, they still stole my breath and felt like they were looking into my soul. Selena snatched her books from me, without even a thank you, and rushed off, her brown hair bouncing in its high ponytail. I stood there staring after her, then I felt everyone staring at me and I shook my head, flashing a brilliant smile that made all the girls swoon and giggle.
Angelica, my girlfriend, walked up to me and gave me a kiss. I kissed her back, but not like I used to. I still had Luna, the girl from The Moonlight, stuck in my head, her blue eyes staring at me, her brown waterfall hair bouncing with every movement, and her angel like voice as she sang and played her old guitar.
The rest of the day passed like a blur, as did the whole week. All I could think about was Luna, and I kept wondering if I’d see her again. Then, for some random reason, my mind would go back to that nerdy girl that bumped into me that lunch, Selena, but I would just shake my head and try to focus, which never happened.


Chapter 4- But that’s life for you
Selena’s POV:
The day went by like usual, I didn’t get the best window seat in the library though, thanks to that jerk, Kyle. I walked home alone, like always. It gave me time to think, to plan out what I’ll do when I get home, and to prepare myself for when I get home.
I opened the rusty door to my house, trying to keep quiet, though it’s not like anyone will pay attention to me. I grabbed a few snacks from the kitchen and walked up to my room, all the while, I could hear laughter
