The sound of the alarm went off, slowly Jacob opened his eyes. It was everyday thing for him ever since that accident to hear things louder than they are, it is all because he lost his sight. It happened when he had eight years old, ever since that day he lost his sight and family he had been jumping from foster house to foster house. Until the day he turned eighteen and could finally live on his own and grab the insurance money from his parents death.

Standing up he turned off the alarm, grabbing the cane he slowly made his way to the bathroom, taking off his underwear he went inside the bath and let the wam water hit his body and face. He smiled and remained there for a couple of minutes extra and then stepped off. Walking to his room he got dressed, he had the same clothes since he did not cared much for looks. After getting ready he walked out of the appartment and into the limo waiting. Thanks to his parents death he was rich.

The sound of cars going fast and students moving around filled his ears as he walked through the halls of the school. Smiling he walked inside as the teacher introduced him, " class, this is Jacob Anzaker, he is coming here for piano lessons, please help him around since he is blind". He shook his head and sighed being escorted to a empty chair and he sat on it.

Lyra had woken herself up at 5am as she did everyday for her morning jog before school, with her dyed red hair stringing out everywhere, no matter how hard she tried to keep it neat, it always seemed to mess up, and her bangs really needed to be cut. She undressed and stepped into the shower, thinking about the news she had heard of this new boy, Jacob... He sounded familiar, she knew where exactly from, but it was probably just the name giving her flashbacks.

When she was younger her Father and Mother had a huge argument, so her Father had gone out drinking and decided it would be a 'good' idea to get into his car and go for a little joy ride with alcohol on the brain. He was in a terrible accident and killed a young boys sibling and parents leaving the young boy alone... And blind. Her father was charged for a lot of different offenses and was sentenced to life in jail, she visited him when she was younger, but that all stopped what she got to the age of about 13, she's now 18. She now studies in an arts college which seems to be the only thing that makes her day anymore, ever since her Father got sent to jail her mother just hasn't been the same. Her Mother is now in a home and Lyra lives by herself in a flat not far from her college, but she absolutely loves her independence.

She finally dressed to school, nothing too dressy, nothing to casual and made her way there, it was only about a 20 minute walk, or even 5 minutes on the bus. Literally just around the corner from her college she heard the bell go off, she ran a little and just made it into the gates before they were closed over. She was going to her band class where she played piano, very badly... And violin. Which was her absolute passion, she adored it and had studied since she was a child, she was amazing.

She walked in, announcing her apologies for being late but pausing once she saw Jacob, her eyes widened and she gulped, slowly moving towards her friends, she had flashbacks, many flashbacks... It was the little boy... The little boy who her father almost killed.


Once she sat down with her friends they all started to laugh at Jacob,

Hey, have you seen the handicapped who claims he can play piano!
Yeah, I know right, how pathetic is he, we'll give him a real nice welcoming gift!

Lyra just rolled her eyes with a little laugh, nervous like she had never been before, "Let's just leave him... Come on, it aint fair on the guy!" Lyra huffed, staring at him, knowing that he'd never know who she was unless she gave him her full name.
 
The class went on, as it did he could hear everything the bullies were talking about him. He remained quiet and continued to pay attention to the class. The teacher was talking about how to read music, thing that he knew how to already. During the class he continued hearing all the people talk about him, they thinked that because he was blind he could not play. Shaking his head he raised his hand as soon as the teacher asked for someone to play something. Standing up he took his brail music book and walked to the piano.

Taking a deep breath he sat on the bench and smiled, he was going to prove to them just how good he was. Starting to play, the music was soft and calm, it had a special place on his hearth for that song. He closed his eyes and let the music take him away. After a couple of minutes he finished the song without any mistakes. Standing up he smirked and walked to his seat, the silence was the only thing that he could hear. He smiled thinking that he finally shut them up.
 
Lyra smiled when he raised his hand, she always knew he had expectations, when the incident happened her and him stayed in contact, but for no more than a month, since they were both so young all they ever really spoke about was music and television pretty mindlessly.

"Hahaha! Let's see if this has-been can play at all.."

Lyra smiled, knowing that he'd prove them wrong, and once she heard his song she was almost mesmerized, everyone's jaws in class just completely dropped, including her own, it was a familiar melody, and she remember speaking of him with it when she was younger, in fact, she had her own version on her violin, she smiled and stood, her friends giving her 'wacko' looks as if to say. What the hell are you doing!? The silence was soon broken once her teacher had gave her the nodding approval to begin, she then, note for note repeated the song he had just played on the piano, however on her violin. She wondered if this would give him some idea of who she was, but she'd never tell. Her friends all sat there, frowning with their arms folded like she'd broken some sort of bullying pact. Once finished she walked past Jacob and gave him a gentle pat on the shoulder before taking her seat.

"What the fuck was all that about, Ly?"
"Yeah, are you some sort of kiss ass to the handicapped?"

"Listen, guys... I liked the song, it's a childhood memory, all I did was play it. Get over yourselves." She laughed, rolling her eyes. Once she heard the bell they all rushed out the classroom, and as the teacher exited Jacob was pushed to the ground by one of her friends, she wondered if he'd fight back, she knew the trouble he'd be into if he did... She just didn't know what she'd do about it.
 
He smiled as soon as he heard the song on the violin, could it be her?. The only other person who knew that song was her. He sighed as soon as she stopped and talked to the others, " childhood memories...it can't be..." he spoke to himself as he heard the bell ring. He stood up after the rest left and started to walk out whe suddenly he was pushed to the floor. He tried to get up but they started kicking him and after he was not moving much they took him and he felt like they were carrying him someplace.

When they got to the locker rooms of the pool they held him and took out all of his clothes forcing his underwear in his mouth and taping it shut. His hands were then taped behind his back and he was shoved in a locker. He was screwed up, he was blind and now he was mute because of the gag. He groaned as he tried to move so the locker would make a noise, he knew where he was, he could hear the woman talking outside the room. He groaned as his stomach hurt because of the blow.
 
Lyra walked around the break sitting area and the canteen looking for Jacob, she had to see if he was okay, she was selfish for leaving him just because she didn't want to risk losing her friends, even though they were back-stabbing assholes who seemed to bully the helpless. If it was some buff track racing guy they wouldn't open their mouths, then again, maybe some of her girl friends would open their legs to him. "Shit... I should of just helped him." She sighed and stormed away.

Once the bell rang she went to her third glass, just before gym class. She sat at a desk surrounded by her friends, "Guys, what did you do with that Jacob guy..?"
Her friends all laughed and moved away from her, "Jesus, what the fuck is up with you people? He's blind!"

"Oh, shuttup Lyra! You're such a kiss ass." They all laughed.
"Me? A kiss ass? No, I'm not a kiss ass, you're a bully, it isn't funny anymore.." She put her head in her hands and shook her head, maybe if she just played a long they'd tell her..
"Then again, it was pretty funny how he was struggling beneath you guys." She tried to fake laugh, but just couldn't."

"Hm.. So you're on our side now?" The guy laughed and patted her on the back, "The loser struggled like hell, we took his clothes off and stuffed his arrogant mouth with his 'tighty whiteys'"
Celestia laughed with them all and gave him a high five, "Haha, man. Where did you put him though?" They all paused once she said this and said nothing, the class had gone quite quickly actually. It was time for gym class.

"Hey, miss! Is it gymnastics again?" She laughed. Their gym teacher ripped her shorts the other week doing back-hand spring. Once all the girls gathered in the locker room they began to converse, she opened her locker, and saw Jacob, she almost fainted as she slammed her locker door shut, laughing nervously. Once all the girls exited to the gym hall she slowly opened her locker door, "Jacob..? What the hell did they do to you..?" She took his underpants out of his mouth and helped him out the locker, she turned away and handed him his underwear, "They're wet...But just put them on."
 
He groaned as soon as he fell to the floor after opening the locker that had him inside. Someone took the tape out of his mouth and he groaned spitting his underwear from his mouth. He had pain all over his body, suddenly he heard a voice talking to him, it was the same voice that was with the bullies, but he knew her "Lyra....you are alright...glad to hear your voice". He groaned as he placed his underwear on, they were wet because of his saliva but he at least had some dignity. " you remembered the song... we should play together sometime". Just then the teacher came and helped him to stand and slowly walked with him to the school doctor.

As he reached the office he was checked through, he was asked who did it and he told them. Before the teacher left he stopped her " Lyra had nothing to do with this, don't punish her because of what her friends did". He nodded as he heard the door close, he had a broken rib, he could feel it and the doctor did as well. He then was helped by the doctor to a bed so he could rest. He closed his eyes as he dozed to sleep.
 
Lyra followed on to the doctor's office, but of course she had to leave for her last lesson, half way through the lesson all of her friends got called out of class, and before anything got said, they all looked down at her, she knew she was in a heap of crap with them now, she wasn't even sure if she wanted to come into school tomorrow, "God..." She sat there for the rest of the lesson with her head down on the desk, the room so silent she could hear the constant ticking of the clock, Tick. Tock.. Ti- And then the bell went. She rushed up and ran towards the doctors office to see if he was ok, she just said that he was resting and the harm that had been done to his body,
"Are you good friends? Do you think you could take him home, he needs someone to take care of him for a few days." The doctor spoke clearly.

"Y-yeah.. Sure... You could say we're close... But I don't mind stopping around every now and then," She bit down on her lip and shook her head, she really didn't know what she was getting herself into, for the time being all she did was sit beside the bed and wait for him to awaken.
 
He opened his eyes, they were white , obvious sign he was blind. Smelling her perfume he smiled, " sorry if I got you into trouble with your friends Lyra". He sat up slowly and heard his cell ring, his things were brought by the teacher. He followed the sound and grabbed his cellphone answering it, " Tom, yea pick me up at the doctors office", he hanged up and smiled. Moving his hand deep inside his bookbag he took out a photo of Lyra and himself. Feeling around he gently grabbed her hand and handed him the photo, " so you remember what a true friend is about". He heard his helper arrive and help him to a weelchair, " coming or staying?".

He nodded as she turned him down and was escorted to his car and helped on the seat. he smiled as he hummed the song he played on the class. A couple of minutes later they stopped at the appartment building he was staying and he walked slowly to his house and sat on the piano. He made a few calls then started to play a faster song. He then stopped and played the song he played before.
 
Lyra smiled at him when he woke up, she knew he couldn't see, but she tried to send the warmth from her smile toward him. "Hey, sleepy head.." She giggled, "It's fine, they all suck anyway." She huffed, taking the picture from his hand, smiling to heart warming memories, "Thanks... I remember this.. It was back when we-.." Before she could finish her sentence his friend came to pick him up, "O-oh er.. I'll stay.. or go home or something.." She was confused and he rushed off with his friend before she realized he was inviting her around to his place, she turned the photograph over and it had his address on the back, She headed straight to band room and picked up her piano, then home on the bus to pick up a few CD's they she knew Jacob loved when they were younger.

Nerve wracking, she arrived at Jacob's house and stood there mindlessly holding the CD's in her hand, she gulped and her hand slowly raised up, she pressed the buzzer, "U-um.. Jacob..? It's Lyra. Can I come up.. ?" Perhaps them meeting was fate, something that was meant to happen, they did promise as kids they'd always meet back up.
 
The sound of the piano was stopped by the voice of his friend, standing up he pressed the button so she could enter. His appartment was on the first floor since it was easier for him to move around. He heard the knock on the door and he quickly opened it letting her inside. He was not a violence driven guy reason why he did not defended himself back in the school. Walking to a chair he let her sit as he sat across from her, " he smiled and sighed, long time no see little sister", he always called her that when he was little. Her perfume smelled great, she had a certain smell that he always remembered. Slowly he moved his chair closer to her and held his hand in front of her face but not touching her, " may I?".
 
Lyra smiled and entered the loving feeling of his home, sitting on the chair opposite from him rather close, "Wow.. I can't believe we've met like this again," She smiled, laughing a little. "Little? Hey! I'll have you know...Ah, forget it. I'm a lot smaller than you still, but you don't have to call me that anymore." She said this, even though she loved it, it comforted her. She watched his hand slowly reach out toward her face, she nuzzled her cheek into his hand, "Of course." She knew she had such fur, silky skin. She took care of herself well, "You know.. you haven't changed much, Jakey." She said cutely, exactly what she called him when they were younger, "I really missed you, I wish we could of stayed in touch. I've always worried.. wondered.. Just where you were and who you were with.. I asked my mum to foster you of course because we were like brother and sister.. But... After what my Father did.. My mum couldn't... Deal with that.." She sighed and rested her hand upon his. "But, how have you been?"
 
He sighed and touched her face, it was smooth but she did not changed much as well. He shook his head and then looked down, " well after my parents died I was in the hospital for a few months, in there was the happiest time since the accident. We got split up and I went to foster care, the first couple that took me in had a drug abuse problem, they used me to score drugs because of my keen smell. After that they were arrested and I went to live with a single man, he abused me everyday raping me to no end, I managed to escape and then lived in the orphanage for awhile, there I learned to play piano. After a few years I went to live with another couple, they encouraged my piano lessons and thanks to them I know so much, he got drunk and killed her then himself. I went back to the orphanage until I got to 18 and could live by myself. I carried something you gave me all that time, it was the only thing that kept me alive". He pointed under the bed to a violin case, inside was a very old violin.

He smiled then sighed, "since I turned 18 I grabbed the one million my parents had in the bank, I made some calls and paid for your entire education". He smiled wondering how she would react to the news.
 
Lyra sat there, jaw wide open as she listened in awe and shock, "I-I... Can't believe it. I'm so sorry, you know if I could of, I would of forced my mum to take you in, she just couldn't deal with the stress after my father... I don't even see him anymore." After he continued to talk about the money issues she just shook her head, she chose not to believe it, it was the only thing she could do. She jumped forward and wrapped her arms tightly around Jacob, "Jakey. You know if I could of done something all those years.. I would of. I wanted to be there... Ha, not much an 8 year old could of done, really? Even 9.. And still even at 10. I just couldn't do anything.. I eventually gave up, and just hoped that we'd somehow meet one day, you were my best friend, you still are my best friend. And I won't leave you on your own ever again. We swore to take care of eachother..." She let go of him and smiled, "And that's what we're going to do." She said and gave him a little peck on the cheek.

Moving away she scooted herself under the bed and retrieved her old violin case, "Yeah... I wondered what happened to this." She opened it up and there lay her very first, very childish, and pink may I add, violin. She didn't even want to try to play it in case she broke it, "I can't believe you kept this for all this time..I didn't have anything..At all.. Only memories. But I guess I can't complain.." She sighed and moved over and sat at his piano chair, "How about you play me a song.. Or we could play together. We haven't in such a long time.." She smiled and patted the seat beside her.
 
He smiled as he hugged her back, kissing her forehead. He then noticed she was looking a the violin and smiled. Taking a deep breath he stood up and slowly walked next to her, sitting besides her he smirked, " I have a idea, grab your violin and let's play that song, together to see how it sounds". He smiled as he started to play, he followed her note, he knew well how to follow a violin, especially on that song. After the music stopped he smiled and nodded, " it sounded good, I missed hearing that".
 
Lyra took her current violin out from her tall black case and placed it onto her collar bone. "Ready..?" She smiled, strumming along with him, each note exact, it could almost hypnotize someone, it was almost one of the most beautiful things she had ever heard, she missed doing this. When they finally stopped she nodded and smiled, "The good old days.. eh?" She said sarcastically before sitting beside him, she rest her head upon his shoulder and sighed, "It's getting pretty dark outside.. The buses stopped running about an hour ago. I should probably head home soon, there are some weirdo's who live around here... Don't want anything to happen to me on the way home." She shuddered at the thought of a filthy man's hand on her, thinking about the things that Jacob had told her from his past, she could only feel sorry for him, although she was sure it was not pity that he wanted.

She sat up and moved along to the couch with him and just flopped down, "If you want a little company I can stay a little longer if you want..And I'll have to give you my cell number. She took his phone and entered her number into speed dial. "My number is on speed dial 2. So just hold down 2 and I'll pick up and come around no matter what." She smiled and patted his arms comfortingly.
 
He shook his head, " no, stay here tonight...with me". He could not believe what he just asked. He looked down and shook his head, " ehh sorry, that came out wrong, sleep on my bed tonight, I will sleep on the couch". He smiled and sighed he was sure if he called her mother she would let her stay. It was a long time ago since he had someone over the night, " I could order out, and we can just rest tonight, I will not let you out at night, alone". He smiled and closed his eyes, he had no idea what to say, " there is a talent competition next year, want to go? I wan't that song to be known, and who knows what will happen". He had screwed up a lot with her, he forgot how to talk to a woman. He sighed and gave her his cellphone, " mark 3 if you want to go, ask Jonathan to pick you up" he took a deep breath and walked to the kitchen to prepare something to drink, "want anything?"..
 
Lyra did not once reply him, he was taking to quickly and constantly changing the subject, "Slow down.." She laughed a little, "Listen, I'll get us some drinks, and I'll order the food, and I'd love to stay here tonight, we'll have... A sleepover!" She said loudly, laughing and poking at his stomach, "But I don't wanna put you out, I'll stay on the couch..." She sighed and put her head down, "Not like you have to worry about my mum... She's in a home now.. She went a little crazy after my dad... She just sits there... Staring at nothing..." Lyra put her head into her hands, "I couldn't help her either... You could even call her mute now.. I went to see her last week, no change they said, and she's barely eating.. She's becoming really sick." She just shrugged and sighed, "You should come and see her with me next week.. I go once a week after college usually." She took his hand and pulled him down beside her, "So, Chinese food it is!" She laughed before even consulting him.
 
He came back with two glasses of wine, he heard her and smiled, " you will stay on the bed and there is no more talk about that". He smiled and sat besides her giving her the glass of wine and hearing her out, " I will go talk to her, not see her I cannot see her", he joked wanting to make a more happy mood. He nodded and smiled, "sure order the food. He took off the jacket from the school and then the shirt revealing his bandaged rib, he had been trying to pretend it did not hurt but it did, " can you get me some painkillers and take back my wine, cannot drink with painkillers in my sistem". He smiled as he waited for her to bring the pills. After she came back he took the pills and layed on the couch, the room had no tv nor a computer.
 
Lyra felt a little crap after he tried to make a little joke, she just couldn't find it funny knowing it was her Father's fault that he couldn't see. She nodded and took his own, taking the pain killers from the kitchen side table and getting him a cool glass of water. She also took the phone whilst doing this and ordered, she'd already taken down what Jacob wanted, "Food should be here in about an hour." She smiled sitting beside him with her glass of wine which had already almost gone, "You're not sleeping on the couch, by the way.." She said, her fingers lightly touching his ribs, "You should probably try and relax in a nice hot bath. It will soothe the pain a little.." She sighed, not wanting to give him a hug now that she could see his ribs in plain site she was scared to hurt him.
 
He smiled and sighed " I cannot win with you". He smiled and stood up and opening the door just before the delivery guy was going to push the button", the guy was surprised and Jacob smiled " I heard you since you entered the building", he payed the guy giving him a tip and closed the door". Since he knew his appartment well he could walk as if he could see. Setting the food on the table he sat on a chair, " let's eat". Smiling he smelled the food and quickly knew wich was his. As he waited for her to sit besides him he smirked and took a sip of his coke, " I told you my story, now tell me yours".
 
Lyra immediately dug into her food, she was absolutely starving, she stopped for a moment and laughed, "My story...? I don't even have one.." She shrugged and layed back having indigestion from eating so quickly. "You know how all of this happened.. And I pretty much told you how it is between me and my Mum... I've pretty much just been alone.. like you. Wanted my independence.. Turned 18 and I got it.." She shrugged and sighed. How about we put a little music on? Now I'm sure you can dance, you have rhythmic hands, so put it into your feet! She laughed and pulled him up, looking through his records and putting one on which intrigued her most.

The melody strummed slowly through her ears, she took his hands and began to slowly move with him, "Come on," She giggled, "Move with me." She took his hands and placed them firmly upon her hips, and her hands on his shoulders at least a few inches apart, rocking side to side.
 
After they finished eating she wanted to dance the one thing he was bad at. He could not win as she pulled him out of his chair and tried to dance with him. He was as bad at dancing as she was at playing piano. He groaned as he stepped on her foot a few times. He wanted to give up but could not. Suddenly he got a idea, something he wanted to do for a long time, he leaned over a bit and landed a passionate kiss on her mouth. His tongue moving inside her mouth as he hoped for a response from her. He knew it was either she liked it or he lost a good friend. He hoped it would be the first since he would hate loosing her.
 
As Jacob kissed her, she just froze, stood there motionless, the music stopped in her ears all of a sudden. She was wide eyed, her hands still on his shoulders. She really didn't know how to react, she pulled away from the kiss and gave him a quick peck on the cheek, "I'm pretty tired.. I think I'm gonna go to bed.." She wanted to kiss him, after she pushed him away she realized she wanted to kiss him! "Ugh.." She mumbled to herself. "Hey.. Do you have anything I could wear to bed.. Like an old shirt or something, I mean, it should be big enough to fit me like a night gown," She laughed, moving toward his bedroom as she began to undress. He couldn't see her, so there was no harm in this.
 
He sighed as she broke the kiss " i ..... I am sorry, and yes check my closet". He moved to the couch and took out the bed that he knew was under the couch. He placed the covers as best as he could and layed on the bed, he wished he could see her, she was not fat, her voice told him that but he wanted to look how much her face had changed. He sighed as he hummed in a low tone the song they played together. He closed his eyes and pretended to have fallen asleep so she could sleep on his bed. Suddenly he could hear someone knocking at the door. Taking a deep breath he got off the bed and walked to the door opeining them. As he opened it he could hear a familiar voice, "This is for telling on me, I was expelled you motherfucker". He then felt a very burning sensation on his eyes and he dropped to the floor screaming, "AHHHH HELP". He groaned as he felt his eyes burning, something was thrown on his eyes wich made them burn like hell. He crawled to the bathroom and tried to search for her, "HELP".
