You're
on the phone with your girlfriend, She's upset
She's going off
about something that you said
She doesnt get your humour like I do
Erin lay on her best friend Ian McKinley's bed with her head hanging off reading a book, Erin couldn't read unless she was hanging upside down no one knew why… she sighed bored as she watched Ian sitting in his computer chair slightly spinning. He was on the phone talking to Wendy, his bitch girlfriend.
"It never happened!!!" He apologized into the phone. Erin knew what he meant.
Her mind had a flashback of earlier.
Ian had asked Erin to go to the football game with him so he didn't have to watch Wendy cheer alone. "Do I have to go?" she complained playfully, but she was 100 % serious. "Yes you do. I will be bored out off my mind.
"I dread the football games but I guess Ill go… for you." She said giving up.
"Yeah heaven forbid I watch this one jump in a tiny outfit" he joked, that smile that made Erin's heart jump crossing his face. He wrapped an arm around her and they started walking to class
"What a jerk!" a shrill voice came from behind them, it was Wendy's friend Carrie.
Of course Wendy heard the rumour they were making out, don't know how it came to that.
I'm
in the room, its a typical Tuesday night
I'm listening to the kind
of music she doesnt like
And she'll never know your story like I
do
Finally,
they hung up!Ian
was sitting on the bed next to Erin and they were laughing so hard
about Family Guy they fell off. Just then Papa Roach's I almost
told that I loved you came on. This was Erin's favourite song.
"You know I love it when you're down on your knees
And I'm a junky for the way that you please You shut me up when you
swallow me down My back to the wall you're going to town" Erin
sang. Ian was laughing even harder then. He stood and pulled her up.
Soon they were jumping around and Erin glanced at the clock. It was
12:30!! "Shit!!" she screamed and grabbed her bag. "What? Oh
shit!" He ran to his phone and looked he had 3 missed calls, all
from Wendy.
"Bye Zip!" she
called at Ian. "Bye… Erin" Ian called back. Strange, Ian always
called Erin Pip. She shook it off and walked home. On the walk she
thought about how her and Ian had been friends forever. He was her
only friend, but he didn't know she loved him since 7th
grade.
But
she wears short skirts, I wear t-shirts
She's cheer captain and
I'm on the bleachers
Dreaming bout the day when you'll wake up and
find
That what you're lookin for has been here the whole time
The next day Ian was standing at his locker, right next to Erin's. She had her hood on so he wasn't able to see the bruises on her face. She looked at her jeans, they were ripped and had paint splattered on them. "Ian!" they both looked up and saw Wendy coming towards them wearing a shirt that looked like a 5 year old could wear and a skirt so short you could see the pockets sticking out. Erin realized Wendy had a somewhat smug expression on her face and Ian was angry. She realized she looked up so fast her hood fell off. "Erin, what happened?" Wendy asked in mock concern. "Pip, did Jeffery hit you again?" She nodded. "The bell." She murmured and walked off really fast. The rest of the day she was silent.
If you could see that I'm the one who understands you
Been
here all along so why can't
you see?
You belong with me
you
belong with me
At home she ran upstairs and
grabbed her guitar.
"I
tear my heart open." She started by the time she finished her phone
was ringing " Ding, ding, ding we have a loser, what do you want?"
She joked. "Well, I thought we would walk in the park. How does
that sound pip?"
"Sure." See u in a bit."
She
grabbed her shoes and ran outside. There was Ian, smiling that
smile.
Walkin
the streets with you in your worn out jeans
I cant help thinking
this is how it ought to be
Laughing
on the park bench thinkin to myself
Hey isnt this easy?
They
walked around the park and Erin saw the same swings they used when
they were little, well last year. Erin shot off running towards them.
She sat on one and Ian pushed her. She shrieked and giggled. She
had never had so much fun on one swing. Hey isn't this easy? Erin
thought to herself. This is how it ought to be. Ian interrupted her
thoughts by saying "Pip… your it!" He dashed off with her
close behind he tripped over a rock and she helped him up. "I gotta
go home bye buddy!" she said checking her watch.
And
you've got a smile that could light up this whole town
I havent
seen it in awhile, since she brought you down
You say you find I
know you better than that
Hey, Whatcha doing with a girl like
that?
Just
then Wendy drove up nearly hitting Erin. "sorry." She said
smiling. Erin flipped her off and continued walking.
"Ian did you see that!!" Wendy complained.
He sighted. "Yeah, well let's go." He said
jumping in the car. Erin watched as Wendy gave a smug look and kissed
Ian. Erin rolled her eyes and walked away with tears.
She
wears high heels, I wear sneakers
She's cheer captain and I'm on
the bleachers
Dreaming bout the day when you'll wake up and
find
That what you're looking for has been here the whole time
The
next day Erin
was talking to Ian about the concert they were going to Friday when
they heard the clacking of Wendy's heels. "Ian, me and you are
going to Summer's party Friday." She commanded. "Well Erin and
I were going to A bullet for my valentine concert Friday," Ian
began but Wendy cut him off "No, you WERE going to a stupid rock
concert with her." Erin was quiet the whole time looking at her
converse. I
wish Ian would dump her, I've been sitting here waiting for 10
years on him, not anymore" If
you could see that I'm the one who understands you
Been here all
along so why can't you see?
You belong with me
Standin
by, waiting at your back door
All this time how could you not know
that?
You belong with me
You belong with me
One
night 4 years ago Erin
was crying madly because her father raped her for the first time. She
looked out the window and climbed out of it. She walked to Ian's
house and went outside his window, using there secret "password"
she knocked 3 times waited and knocked twice. He stuck his head out
the window and opened it more so she could go in. "Pip, what's
wrong?" he asked wrapping an arm around her. "He raped me, the
bastard raped me." She sobbed. "Pip, I will never let anyone hurt
you ever." He promised. Your hurting me now Erin thought in present
day. Oh
I remember you driving to my house in the middle of the night
I'm
the one who makes you laugh when you know you're about to cry
I
know your favorite songs and you tell me about your dreams
I think
I know where you belong. I think I know it's with me.
"
Can't
you see that I'm the one who understand you?
Been here all along
so why can't you see?
You belong with me
Erin
was sitting in her room crying and listening to All
These Things I Hate, it was her favorite song. She heard something at
her window. She opened it and saw 2 green eyes before she felt
something warm on her lips.
Standing
by or waiting at your back door
All this time how could you not
know that
You belong with me
You belong with me
"I
finally see you belong with me." Ian said before coming in her
window. "What about Wendy?" Erin asked. "She was cheatin on
me." Ian grimaced for a minute. "But im happy, I get the best
thing in my life." He said wrapping two arms around her.
Have
you ever thought just maybe
You belong with me
You belong with
me
2 years later Ian and Erin were getting married in a gothic style wedding. Erin felt like there were butterflies in her stomach. She was happy. And you see you belong with me..." she thought
