I enjoy my new room.
It's a humid day today, and it's the afternoon.
I have been too lazy to get up from my bed.
Then, the phone rings.
I pick it up, saying, "Hello?"
"Hey Carly, it's Sam. Get down here."
"Alright. But, couldn't you have just send me a text?"
"You might not get up, even after reading it."
"Good point. I'll right down."
I get up from my bed, still in my pajamas, fixed my hair, then went downstairs.
"Okay, Sam. What is it?" I say, as I am going down the stairs.
"Wait for it... 5, 4, 3, 2, 1..."
Freddie barges in and says, "Good morning everyone, how's things?"
"Okay, everyone pay attention!"
Spencer is in the kitchen, I am on the stairs, and Freddie is just by the door.
"Okay, everyone. Today, we fight with water guns. Spencer actually challenged me into this, so I decided to drag you two into it as well. Anyways, there's two rules in this game. One, no on leaves this place. Meaning, no one leaves out that lobby door. Two, no teaming up. This is a One Man Army water gun fight," Sam explains. "Here are your water guns."
Sam gives Spencer, Freddie and I the water guns.
"When will it end?" I ask.
"By the end of the day. All of you got 15 minutes to hide. Even I have to hide. Starting...now!"
I run up to the studio.
Wait, why here?
Eh. I might as well stay here for a while.
"Hey, Carls. I know you can hide better than that," Spencer says as he presses the elevator button.
"You're right," I reply.
I go down the stairs, and enter my bedroom.
Once I got in, I lock the door.
Oh, no. Someone's knocking on the door!
Wait a minute, that's that wood. That sounds like...glass.
I turn around, and see Freddie stuck in my technology driven closet.
"Freddie? What are you doing here?" I say as I open the closet.
"Surprised? Well, my first thought was to go into your room and lock myself in, then hide. Simple enough?" He responds, with a smirk on his face.
"Why not just run to your house? I mean, your mom locks the front door," I suggest.
"I know, but it's too risky now."
"Wait, your not going to shoot me with that water gun, are you?"
"Well of course not. Two reasons why. One: Why would I be against the love of my life? Two: This isn't filled with water. Inside this is flammable spray. I just put a lighter below where it shoots it out, and it is considered as a flame thrower."
"Are you insane?"
"No worries, I'm saving this when I lose all hope."
"Didn't Sam say not to team up?"
"I don't care. I will never be against you. Never in my life."
"Well, you as well stay here, since you don't want to be against me."
"Alright."
I use the trampoline to jump into my bed, and just tried to relax.
"Just stay there, I think I forgot something in your closet," Freddie says.
I hear the closet open, then close.
Then, I heard him sing, along with a guitar playing in the background.
Is this a stop or go?
Red light? I don't know.
Do you want to be alone?
I don't know, I don't know.
Girl, I'm begging you...
Please, don't go
Don't go away from me
Away from me.
Please, don't go
Don't go away from me
Don't give up on us.
Don't let go of us.
I just want you to love me back.
I just want you to love me back.
Please, don't go
Don't go away from me
Away from me.
"Hey, I didn't know you can sing," I say.
"I only sing and play the guitar when...I have something to say, but am too afraid to say it." He sits down the other side of the bed.
For some reason, I feel this emotion running through my veins, but I don't what it is.
"You might know this one. It's a duet anyways." Then Freddie gives me one of his signature smiles.
I opened my eyes last night,
And saw you in the low light
Walking down by the bay,
On the shore
Staring up at the planes
That aren't there anymore
I was feeling the night, grow old,
And you were looking so cold
Like an introvert,
I drew my over shirt
And began to shiver violently before
You happened to look around
And see the tunnels all around me
Running into the dark underground
All the subways around create a great sound
To my motion fatigue: farewell
With your ear to a seashell
You can hear the waves in underwater caves
As if you actually were inside a saltwater room
I do know this song...
How did he know that I know this song?
I just shrugged, got next to him, and just sang along.
Time together is just never quite enough
When you and I are alone, I've never felt so at home
What will it take to make or break this hint of love?
We need time, only time
When we're apart whatever are you thinking of?
If this is what I call home, I've never felt so alone
So tell me darling, do you wish we'd fall in love?
All the time, all the time
I rest my head on his shoulder, and I hear him chuckle.
Can you believe that the crew has gone, and wouldn't let me sign on?
All my islands have sunk in the deep, so I can hardly relax or even oversleep
I feel as if I were home some nights, when we count all the ship lights
I guess I'll never know, why sparrows love the snow
We'll turn off all the lights, and set this ballroom aglow
So, tell me darling,
Do you wish we'd fall in love?
Then, apparently, he cut the song short.
"Why did you cut the song short?" I ask.
"To ask you this question... Do you love me back?"
