Jeyah's POV
No matter how much I wanted to close my eyes but I really could not sleep. Bridgette had ruined my mood. She only called me at this late hour just to tell me that she and Darren were already dating. The hell I care!
I jumped out of bed and went to my music room. I wanted to be relieved from what I'm feeling right now, so I need the healing power of music. I was also thinking it's been a while since I haven't done live streaming.
After setting up everything, I started my audio live stream. In just a matter of seconds, I already had plenty of viewers who were actually my avid fans and supporters. They told me in the chat how they missed my live stream. It was actually overwhelming on my part to receive such messages. I thought nobody would visit my live stream since I haven't done live streaming for two months already,
Some of them asked me to reveal my face but I just told them it's not yet the right time. Well, in the first place, I was not doing a live stream for popularity purposes but rather, it's my passion in singing that brought me here.
While I was singing some of the requested songs, a certain 'Denver' came in. My heart was beating fast when I read his message in the chat box, saying ''hi", to me. I never expected him to be here, because we already lost our communication two months ago. His identity was also mysterious to me because he had no profile picture on his account. I remembered the last time we chatted online, he asked me if we could meet in personal, but I said no, it's not because I had no interest in him, but I was still in doubt that time, whether I could trust him or not.
He asked me if I could sing any of Lemar's songs. And the first thing that came to my mind was the song "What About Love". It was my first time singing it so I was a little hesitant and nervous as well for the first time. Oh my God!
When I finished singing, I received many positive feedbacks from my viewers. But the most flattering one was Denver's comment.
"You really have a nice voice, Jewel and you sang the song very well", he complimented in the comment section.
It was really overwhelming and it really made me speechless. I continued singing some other requested songs that I did not notice it was already 2:00 o'clock in the morning. Some of my viewers from the Philippines already left except those from other countries. But Denver was still there, I thought he left as well but he was still listening to me.
Suddenly, my eyes were getting droopy so, I decided to end my stream after my last two songs. Besides, I have my classes tomorrow so I need to take a rest now. Anyway, I have no class in the first period because my professor was still on leave, so it's okay to come to school at ten.
Music has always been my stress reliever ever since, and it makes my life complete. Now, I feel better and I'm sure I would be having a good sleep.

Darren's POV
It was already twelve midnight but I had not yet fallen asleep. I kept on thinking about Jeyah, and I could not take her off my mind. I stood up to get something to drink from the fridge. Then, I took my cellphone from the bedside table.
Unintentionally, I clicked a live-streaming app and a notification popped up.
JEWEL IS LIVE NOW!
I don't know why I felt so excited to come to her live stream. It's already been two months that I haven't heard her singing and I missed her voice. So I immediately clicked her profile and entered her stream. Just like before, it was only an audio live stream. I even could not figure out why she doesn't want to show her face. Well, maybe she just wanted to remain mysterious to everybody.
Jewel was really good at singing and she had a voice that make everyone comfortable. It was her voice that captures my heart the very first time I entered her stream and it was her voice that made me think I was falling for her, even though I still don't know her personally. But that was before. Now I know, it was just an attraction because I'm sure I'm falling for only one woman and that's Jeyah.
I requested her to sing the song "What About Love", since it's my most favorite song. While she was singing it, I couldn't help myself but to think about Jeyah. I haven't told her yet, how I feel for her because I'm afraid she would just turn me down. I know she's still in love with her first boyfriend, who looked exactly like me according to her.
I set aside this sad thought and focused on listening to Jewel's live stream until she finished singing, "What About Love". I gave her my compliment and even sent her virtual gifts. I really enjoyed listening to her that I even forgot it's already 2:00 o'clock in the morning. I was already sleepy, but I don't want to leave her stream yet. I waited for some time until she said she would be singing her last two songs before she would end her live stream.
After she sang the last song, she bid goodbye to all her viewers and thanked everyone for coming in. I closed the app and put my cellphone on the bedside table.
Jewel really had a golden voice and how I wished I would be able to meet her personally because I would like to tell her that I'm her number-one fan and supporter. If that would happen, maybe I would request her to sing a song for me and Jeyah on our wedding day.
Oh my God! It was really absurd. How could I think about the wedding, when I'm not sure if Jeyah feels the same way I feel for her?
I shook my head and took a deep sigh as I closed my eyes.
