This is the first fanfiction I've ever written, dating back to 2005, I believe, has not used a / a beta, so all errors are due only to me, and since I do not want to reread everything to fix them, I think we will too! Probably, if the write now, will turn out something different, but so be it. It 'sooo long, it takes patience.

Chapter II
the last day of vacation.
Mary got up it was almost noon and decided that it would bring together the breakfast dining at the restaurant going to Liz, counting that as a regular guest there ate always free.
met Sean in the kitchen, apparently he had just woke up because her eyes were still half shut.
" Mary, want some coffee?"
" No, we go by Liz, will you ? Come on, I'm going to dress, prepare yourself. "
They walked together toward the restaurant, then Sean surprised her.
" As Liz put it? I mean, is involved with someone? "While this question was looking straight before him ... that cute! He was embarrassed!
Maria tried to respond as possible even if less allusive was complicated, it was too funny to see people strive to act tough!
" Well, no, technically it Free!
" What does it mean technically?! Speak out, do not want to fool at all! "
had to ponder the words, actually did not mind the idea of Liz and Sean together!
" Liz likes Max, now is a bit ', which has a soft spot for him. This summer she decided to let them know although so far there is nothing between them. Personally I hope that continues, however.
" Why do you say that? You do not like Max? "
Sean seemed intrigued and Mary had to take a step back to avoid dovergli reveal more than necessary.
" No, or rather, yes. But I do not think is appropriate for Liz, it's really .... Too much! "
" like cousins I think you would have a duty to give me some more information, but in any case a little 'healthy competition will not ; not hurt, do not you think?
" I cheer for you, cousin," she said smiling and gesturing with his fingers the V for victory.
arrived at the restaurant and seeing her friend, Mary went to her room upstairs. He found it almost ready to go down but still very sleepy.
From the top of the stairs immediately noticed Liz and Sean seemed happy to see it!
It was a pity that he was older, had not been to school with them right there and probably would have benefited from Max!
" Then karaoke tonight? There are still these programs? "Sean asked, smiling at the two girls.
" Yes, we already agree. We meet at seven in front of the restaurant, eat a pizza and then we will give vent to our gifts, "said Mary.
" You hear Mary sing, Sean. It 'wonderful! The say it is a waste of Alex singing in the group, seem to me all the morons, those "
" Really? "Sean answered with a mock exclamation of astonishment. "Though I still remember standing there in front of the Christmas tree, to poison us all with silly rhymes. Do you have to be improved since then! "
" 're still the same idiot maybe your brain has a perennial shortage of glucose, it is better to eat! "said Maria feigning outrage and giggling.
They went to the kitchen to get food, then sat down. They ate the previous evening and commented, laughing at Sean who was Mr. purloin a cold because of the bathroom.
" How about that guy, Michael?". Maria threw out the question casually, hoping to appear credible.
The other two looked for a moment, then said Liz.
" do not know, did not say hardly anything, I do not think everything is normal! Isabel told me that his new neighbor who lives with his aunt and uncle because his father died two years ago in a plane crash. He was a famous lawyer in New York, I also read his name in the papers ... yeah, I think Hank Guerin "
Then it so called, Michael Guerin.
Liz continued: "Michael has missed a year of school after his death, he made a trip or something, in any case has already eighteen. The uncles were only "
course Liz always knew a lot of things! And to think he had all that information and had not even spoken a word, it was incredible, a natural talent for gossip!
" You're right," said Mary, "Is just a nerd."
Michael Guerin was at home in his room.
was hard for him to see it as such, as his own.
lived there now for two weeks but had not personalized at all.
The furniture was just made up a bed in which he could sleep comfortably in the diagonal, a wardrobe, a desk and a nightstand.
The walls were still bare, as he felt naked.
All that kept him tied to his old life was gone two years earlier with his father.
There remained only one photo, a dismal picture of a ten year old boy sitting on the lap of a man whose lines faded in the face contours confused in his memory. Probably this was the only picture they had ever done together, I do not remember others.
On bedside, to the left of the bed, lay a sketchbook. Michael was taking it in his hands for a few minutes to watch with empty eyes the blank page before him.
He roused himself from his thoughts, or perhaps by his visions.
His hand began to draw clear lines on paper with pencil, charcoal, and slowly, a picture took shape.
The same features that a few minutes earlier he had reminded now were looking back, printed on paper .... big eyes ... ... and deep ... a mouth fleshy, sensual. There were no colors, but at that time did not have them.
The colors were important because a world in black and white, as well as a drawing in black and white, and he was a dead world for so long had felt this way, as if all the spaces were filled with an infinite number of shades of gray, without a drop of life.
She was alive however, and despite all, he was even.
At seven Maria in point, Sean and Liz were waiting for the arrival of the group in front of the DD disco pub, the local karaoke.
The tradition was born some years before and had already crystallized. Before the school was a must find an outlet that way, it was fun and somewhat liberating!
Alex and Kyle arrived a few minutes later, followed a short distance from Isabel, Max and Michael.
Maria did not expect to see him so soon and the feeling of a roller coaster riassalì there was always the bully.
They said goodbye and went quickly.
The atmosphere inside was quite intimate because the place was not great and the lights that lit up were soft. A small stage with a screen and a microphone mounted, recalled the main attraction of the evening.
" Who booked?" Asked Isabel.
" I," replied Alex. He took one of those dolls that come from the spring box.
All we need is to answer "orders" and would be perfect.
Sometimes Mary intercepted glances suggestive of Max but with all of herself trying not to give him satisfaction showing her embarrassment.
He knew, however, hardly he would say something incriminating, Liz seemed to take on the rope he could provide some satisfaction to his ego.
Re Max, evidently had not yet tired of the game!
ate pizza and joked merrily, some more than others. In fact you could say that Michael could never prove some fun!
was now nine and Brody, the owner of the restaurant, took the stage to begin the registration for the singing contest.
Alex tried in every way to convince Isabel but there was no way.
His image, always close to perfection, could not be scratched, and if something was not matched, well, then had to be hidden from the eyes, and in that case, especially at ears of the world!
Kyle and Alex gave an amazing duet with country " Sweet home Alabama . It was a version to die laughing and he showed that even Michael, for a moment, his expression had changed into what looked like a hint of a smile. Or maybe it was just a cramp, he was not sure!
Liz and Sean delight in romantic duet that threatened to shatter all the glasses in the room but the interpretation was good, had been very well together!
Maria sang last.
chose a song by Sheryl Crow because it is particularly well suited to his voice.
stand on stage, even that of a local karaoke, she was like stepping into a bubble. The boundary between inside and out but this was an invisible barrier, which divides it from the noise and external sensations, catapulted into a space made up only of notes and vibration. Then, as always, everything was over and the bubble burst leaving her standing there in front of people who were cheering at that moment.
returned at the table getting compliments from everyone.
" I can not wait to hear you sing only for me," Max said suddenly.
Liz looked at them a moment, as if those words had awakened in her something. But it was only a moment.
" would be a waste to sing her for a single person," he said with a soft voice.
everyone agrees with her.
Michael At half past eleven she again sat in his room, as the sole source of light the small lamp on the bedside table.
Tomorrow would be his first day of school, a new school, after almost two years.
doubted even remember anything but the 'have already met someone made him feel a bit' less insecure.
He had already stripped to go to sleep when his eyes fell again on the sketch pad, on those eyes, that mouth up.
Draw was the thing he loved most, was endowed with some talent, but just at that moment he realized that his art was something missing.
How was it possible to paint a sound? Not if he was never asked, never was there was no need.
not have an answer to the questions was what more than anything else in the world did feel frustrated.
But perhaps for that, there was an answer, all I knew was that at that moment would have liked to know how to paint the voice of an angel.
