He was surprised when a home made video came up of Neil. He stood in front of a small school band with a violin in his hands. The conductor said something and Connor turned the sound up.
"...Junior high school band." The man said, and stood up on his conducting stand. The audience clapped and then everything went silent as they prepared to start. Neil rested the bow on the strings and the conductor motioned for him to start playing. It was obvious he was far more talented than anyone else his age. For the first minute or two of the song he had a solo of smooth middle eastern music that made the audience completely silent. Connor watched, transfixed on the slender form of Jr. High School Neil playing his Violin.
"It's Samvel Yervinyans' Persian Night." Neil said behind him. He held a box of clothes against his side.
"Sorry, I just didn't know what movie it was so I just put it in for a second." Connor moved to turn it off as soon as he could.
"No.." Neil said, stopping him. He set the box down and moved over to the couch, sitting down. "Don't turn it off." He whispered. Connor put down the remote and they watched, as the rest of the orchestra behind him came in. The music sped up and built quickly until Neil's hands were moving so fast Connor could hardly see them. His bow ran across the strings and the fingers on his left hand flew across the neck of the Violin as the music got more and more hectic, until it was obvious the school orchestra was having a really hard time keeping up with him. He was talented well beyond his years.
"You... are amazing." Connor said, shocked.
"Was...I was amazing." Neil said, and stood up. "I can be amazing at something else now. Come on, after we're done here I want to stop at that arts and crafts store downtown and pick up some painting supplies." Neil said, and picked up the box again. Connor turned off the home video and watched Neil walk away.

Anonymousabout 9 years agoAt least Neil is coping well with the unfairness life has given him. I just hope he doesn't ever feel like he has to make due with second best. Conner instead of Dalton, painting instead of playing the violin. Neil is a sweet, gentle soul who deserves happiness in whatever form he can find it.
canndabout 9 years agogood to see this story continuing....Missed ya. should've said hi at some point...i hope you're really well.
story is a tough one for me, since my best friend who i live with, lost her arm at the same exact spot. not from an accident, but the loss is the same. For not having experienced it, you did a decent job of showing it from the outside. I doubt anyone can re-create the inside experience of that. I hope you will have him attempt to get a prosthesis. even if it means researching it. They can do amazing things. My friend can't get one, but that is b/c of the illness she has. her arm can't be touched due to the illness. So, a prosthesis touching it is out. Plus her arm isn't healthy in the part that is left. Sad case...but normally, hey can do things...and like Connor said, his father has money.
Where is his father in this? did he just walk out and say 'buhbye'? the fact that he came running into the hospital, must mean something. i'd have left that tape for his dad to find...maybe make the man wake the eff up.
I worry about two things....one is that he has to deal with dalton, but i guess dealing with the rest first is important. sadly, dalton must be dealing with alot. the guilt would be extreme and I believe he loved him in his own jealous way. the situation wasn't easy, having your best friend and you fight over a guy who had feelings on some level for both of you.
I hope conner lets him deal with Dalton before they begin a relationship. I also hope he goes slow. Neil has to be with him for the right reasons. neil has had a dysfunctional life at best.
What about his abilities...does he have that at all....I was hoping he had some regenerative abilities from his eel side :) Look foward to more.. hope to catch up sometime too!
