Sam and his ‘magic’ guitar

It is a story about 

Sam the young son of my Neighbours. 

He is 10years old, he is very shy and he barely doesn’t speak to anyone. 

He is tall for his age and skinny. 

He has 4brothers and 3 sisters but I never saw him talk with them.  

The more surprising detail about him is that he always carry his guitar without playing it. 

I always wanted to know why he always carries his guitar ? Does he even know how to play Guitar ? 

So the next week , I asked their parents about it.

They said to me , that they wasn’t completely sur about it but once they heard him play, they said to me that it was incredible but he never agreed to show them again.

I was so sad about it, why this young lonely boy couldn’t show his talents to her family.

The day that follows , I decided that I would spoke to him.

-Hey, Sam , what’s up ?

-Fine..

-Do you mind if I ask you a question ?

-Mmhh

-Just a little one , your not obligate to answer If -you don’t want to ?

-Mmh ok

-Can you explain to me why do you always carry your guitar with you.

-No I can’t

-Please I’d like to know .

-No.

-I thought that maybe if you want I could teach you how to play.

-We don’t play with this guitar we just talk.

-What ? What do you mean ?

-Mmhh Nothing. Please leave me.

-You’re sur ?

-Yes..

So I went , but I was very confused about what he told me. I clearly couldn’t think about something else. So I decided that I would not stop speaking with him until i’d get my answers.

So the whole week along , i went to him and it was exactly the same discussion. I didn’t know what to do to make him speak to me.

And then suddenly at the end of the week, someone was ‘knocking’ at my door.

I went to open and then I aperceive Sam. He looked very excited.

-Okay , I can tell you but you can’t tell anyone. You have to swear.

-Fine , I Swear to you. So.. Okay, my guitar is magic.

-Wait what?

-Yes yes she is magic but you can’t tell anyone !

-Fine , but what do you mean she is magic ?

-Everytime, I start to play , she speaks to me.

She is actually my best friend. But you can’t tell anyone. No one knows about it.

-No one ? Just me now ? So why did you tell me ?

-Well The guitar allowed me to tell you, she said you are the first who truly cared.

But you can’t tell to anyone our secret.

-You can trust me. You think you can show me how the guitar is magic ?

-Mmh no sorry she speaks only to me.

-Fine Well ok then I’m glad to share a secret.

The next day, I wanted to speak with him so I went to my neighbour’s houses to speak with Sam. Approching the door, I heard something..

It was the nicest melodia I’ve ever heard and Sam was singing , yes he was singing..

I couldn’t believe it, that 10years old boy was a damn good singer and guitarist.

The moment I knocked the door , he immediately stopped. I had an idea.

-Sam, I had to speak to you.

-Okay

-I know a place for people with powers like you. I haven’t told anyone about your guitar , don’t worry. I know someone who give courses only for children’s with magic instruments.

But this is a secret of course , you can’t tell anyone there that you have a magic guitar .

– you mean there is others persons with magics guitars ?

-Yes but not only , also magic piano, magic violon and a lot more

-Waww I can’t believe it.

-Yes if you agree I will tell to your parents that you want to go to that classes.

-Thank you!!!!

Then he hugged me. And a few minutes later i was already convincing his parents.

The following weeks I was very curious about how the classes was to sam. Would he like it ? I was convinced it could help him connect to other people just like him passionate about playing music.

By the end of the following week, I was chocked , I saw Sam playing with kids in his garden. But that wasn’t the chocking fact , he wasn’t carrying his guitar. I waited until his friends went home and then I went to him.

-I saw you were playing with friends

-Yes they are very nice with me.

-great , great ! I wanted to ask where is your guitar ?

-Oh I forgot it in my room !

-so the guitar tells you she is enjoying the classes ?

-Well actually the guitar doesn’t speak that much lately.

-Oh..

-Yes but don’t worry that’s for the better she said !

-Great ! Well enjoy now !

I was going to leave but before I even could , sam was hugging me. He looked at me with tears and said :

-Thank you for helping me.

It was so good knowing that putting him in the right place with people that could understand him helped him that much.

He was so lonely and passionate that he created to himself a friend in his guitar. I was so happy to help him reveal his talent to the others and especially that I helped him find friends and help him get out of his loneliness..
