The tale of the shadow phoenixs.

Chapter twenty six.

Arianna sat in the musician’s house the next night waiting for James. She brought with her his jacket. The door opened and james walked in. Arianna’s heart skipped a beat. “Hi James.” She said. James smiled at her. He looked tired. “Are you ready for another lesson?” He asked. “Yes.” Arianna said. James went and stood in front of her on the stage. “So to help not be so embarrassed you have to pretend that the audience is cantaloupes.” James said. Arianna giggled. James gave her a mock serious look. “Shh. I’m talking student.” James said in a fake serious voice. “Okay. Maybe…could you show me what to do?” Arianna asked. James grinned. “Of course.” He grabbed his guitar, cleared his throat and faced her from the stage then began to sing. “You’re insecure, don’t know what for. You’re turning heads when you walk through the door. Don’t need makeup to cover up, being the way that you are is enough. Everyone else in the room can see it. Everyone else but you. Baby, you light up my world like nobody else, the way that you flip your hair gets me overwhelmed but when you smile at the ground it ain’t hard to tell. You don’t know, you don’t know you’re beautiful.” James sang. Arianna stood and clapped. James pretended to bow. “Thank you, thank you.” James said. Arianna walked up to him. “That was…beautiful James. Who…who were you talking about?” Arianna asked softly. James gulped and he stared into her bright hazel eyes. James and Arianna’s faces moved closer together and their lips were almost touching when….James pulled away, breathing heavily. James turned away from her. “I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have done that. Listen, we can’t have anymore lessons. I’m leaving to go…home tomorrow. I hope…I hope that you and Cole have a good time.” James said, walking out the door. Arianna watched him go, a sob caught in her throat so she was unable to speak. Tears began to drip down her face. Why was he leaving her? Suddenly she realized why she had been feeling so sad. Because she loved James. Arianna sank down into a chair.She hugged James’ jacket to her chest. Then sobs began to rack her body.
