29 May 2003 - Lonely For Once

Taylor

Taylor was in the recreation room, composing on the keyboard.

It was all he could think of, to a) prevent him being bored, and b) get his mind off things. Ike was still in England with Mi,s o he missed him. Zac was still missing, so of course he missed him. Mouse and Jess had both just taken off to New York.

His father, as usual, was at another meeting.

Mya, having been his almost constant companion instead of Flavian with his father duties, was cuddled up on his shoulder. He'd almost rocked her to sleep... except that whenever he stopped playing her eyes would shoot open.

After about an hour, he decided to stop for good. He wasn't getting anywhere with the particular song he'd been trying to work on. He let Mya balance herself, before standing up and stretching as he looked around the room.

"This is so weird..."

He was referring to being there alone. In a manner of speaking, of course. He'd often spent many hours in the recreation room alone - so did Ike - but that didn't seem to count. After all, they'd hardly been separated like this before. One missing, another on a different continent altogether...

He sighed as Mya yawned.

"What do you think?" he asked her, "should we go and hunt down Avie?"

"With Jade!" Mya bounced a little, even though she was tired.

"Yeah, with Jade," Taylor kicked the stool in a little and grabbed his jacket from a nearby chair, "let's go."
