"I'm sure. I'll reply to it later."

Nemo shrugged, then started to play a small tune.

"Can you play Let Go by Beau Young Prince?" He asked.

Nemo blushed slightly. "I didn't like that song so I never learned it. I really only liked about three of the songs from the movie."

Zane raised an eyebrow, slightly amused, "What songs do you know?"

"Three that aren't really that good on the piano," Nemo said sheepishly.

"Hm… but maybe they're good on the guitar." He grinned then went to pick up the instrument.

"They're okay on instruments, but they sound better when done professionally," Nemo pushed.

Zane shrugged a shoulder, beginning a tune on the guitar anyway, "So? any song sounds better when done professionally."

"Not necessarily," Nemo said. "There's two songs coming to mind, but neither of them are from the movie."

"What are they? I might be able to play them." Zane looked up at him from where he was now sat on the floor.

Nemo blushed. "Uh….I don't think you'd know them. And they're actually better on the piano."

Zane raised an eyebrow, "Okay…" He said slowly.

Nemo started to play a tune on the piano. The tune was recognisable for those who were fans of the musical.

The song didn't register anything in Zane's head and that caused him to frown. He listened to the notes, trying to see if he could play them himself.

"I saved every letter you wrote me
From the moment I read them
I knew you were mine
You said you were mine
I thought you were mine" Nemo sang his favourite song from his favourite musical. It might have been a song about heartbreak and loss, but it was so well written and executed that he couldn't help but love it.

"Do you know what Angelica said
When we saw your first letter arrive?
She said"

The song rung a bell, a faint one at that but it still did. He couldn't place the lyrics yet, but he placed the notes and played along.

"“Be careful with that one, love
He will do what it takes to survive.”

You and your words flooded my senses
Your sentences left me defenseless
You built me palaces out of paragraphs
You built cathedrals"

He hummed along quietly, focusing on the notes, mainly.

"I’m re-reading the letters you wrote me
I’m searching and scanning for answers
In every line
For some kind of sign
And when you were mine
The world seemed to

Burn
Burn"

"You published the letters she wrote you
You told the whole world
How you brought this girl into our bed
In clearing your name
You have ruined our lives
Do you know what Angelica said
when she read what you'd done?
She said, "You've married an Icarus,
he's flown too close to the sun.""

"You and your words, obsessed with your legacy…
Your sentences border on senseless
And you are paranoid in every paragraph
How they perceive you

You, you, you…"

"I'm erasing myself from the narrative
Let future historians wonder how Eliza
Reacted when you broke her heart
You have torn it all apart
I'm watching it burn
Watching it burn."

"The world has no right to my heart
The world has no place in our bed
They don’t get to know what I said
I’m burning the memories
Burning the letters that might have redeemed you"

"You forfeit all rights to my heart
You forfeit the place in our bed
You'll sleep in your office instead
With only the memories of when you were mine
I hope that you burn…"

Nemo finished the song, then blushed. "Uh…we should probably get back to work."

(Hey, I just wanted to say that I'm taking a break for a couple days to deal with school work and a broken heart. I'll be back after the weekend is over and I might drop in once or twice but I can't promise anything. I'll be back, though.)

Tyler's smile fell and he groaned dramatically, "Aww… way to ruin the fun." He complained childishly.

(hey no, it's ok
i hope it heals)

"Well, we really have to get this done, Zane. The quicker it's done, the quicker we can stop interacting."
