Read A second chance: Sequel of Against all odds for Free Online

the song is called
Give me a second chance to love you, is this autobiographical?”
The presenter asked.
    “ Yes.
Music is like love. It's deep, and it can touch a person's soul. I
hope that this song will manage to reach that person's soul.”
    “ Oh,
that's nice, we hope you will succeed. Well, good luck for the
competition! Ladies and gentleman Mr David Bayne.” The
presenter walked away, and David walked towards the piano.
    “ I've
had enough!” I heard Tyler saying while he stood up. My stomach
contracted.
    “ Tyler,
what are you doing? Please sit down.”I said as I looked
apologetically at the persons seated behind us.
    “ No,
I'm leaving, and you're coming with me,” he miffed.
    “ Please,
he is going to start the performance, we can't leave now. Kylie...”
    “ Very
well, I'll go outside and as soon as he's ready you come out, and
we'll go away OK?” I nodded. Kylie looked at me with pleading
eyes.
    “ Mum
I don't want to go away. I want to see if Dad will win.”
    “ Honey
let's just hear his song and then we'll see OK?” I said trying
not to cry. Tyler had left. I looked at David, who had sat down on
the stool and began to play. The melody was beautiful but so... sad.
He played with such passion; I looked at him in awe as his hands
danced on the keys. The music was so sweet, yet painful at the same
time. I closed my eyes and tried not to think about anything. I knew
that as soon as this beautiful song ended I had to face reality
again. I let the music flow in me until it really reached my soul.

CHAPTER 6

    As soon as he finished the
people did a standing ovation for him. Everyone clapped and shouted
in approval. That piece of music was amazing. David stood up and
took a bow and then went inside. Kylie jumped excitedly.
    “ Mum,
they like it! I'm so happy; Daddy will surely win,” she said
hugging me.
    “ I
hope so honey. But now we have to go,”I told her as I tried to
grab her hand.
    “ What?
No, mum I want to stay until they say who has won. Please.” She
said on the verge of crying. I wanted to wait for the results as
well, but I couldn't stay.
    “ Honey
I can't. Tyler is waiting outside.”
    “ Let
him wait. Mum you promised.” Her eyes welled up with tears, and
I felt mine mirror the action. I felt bad for her, for David and
Tyler. This situation was getting unbearable. Whatever I did someone
suffered.
    “ Listen
Kylie I'll take you to Dad OK? You'll stay with him in the green
room. I really have to go.”
    Kylie's face saddened, but
she nodded. "OK, mum let's go.”
    I didn't want to do this,
but I didn't have a choice. I walked with Kylie to the green room and
saw that lady again. I explained that I had to go, and she accepted
to go and call David. After few minutes, he came out.
    “ Cassidy
what's wrong?” he asked as soon as he met my gaze.
    “ I
have to leave, can you keep Kylie with you? She said you were taking
her out after the competition.” I said quickly as I fought back
my tears.
    “ Well
yes. But why are you leaving? Why don't you come with us?” I
shook my head.
    “ David,
Tyler is waiting for me outside. I can't. I'm sorry.”
    “ Tyler?
He came?” He asked stunned. I nodded.“I didn't know that,
I thought you were alone. Hope that what I said on stage didn't cause
you any trouble. Cassidy that song was for you,” He told me.
    “ I
know,” I said looking down, I couldn't stand his gaze.“And
it was amazing David. You're so talented. I really wish you win
tonight.”
    He smiled.
    “ Yeah,
but that's not the prize that I want.”
    He looked at me deeply. His
eyes so beautiful made my heart race.
    “ I
have to go. Take care of Kylie OK. I'll call you tomorrow to know
what the result was.”
    "OK, thanks for
coming.”
    I kissed my daughter and
looked at David again. He looked as if he wanted to say something
else, but he didn't. Instead, he just looked at me and smiled sadly.
I said goodbye and left. My heart beat increased in its speed with
every step I
