Hey Alexandra
"I'll get it!" 16 year old Alex Russo yelled out as the phone began to ring throughout the apartment. Before anyone else could pick up the phone Alex launched herself over to the couch and grabbed the phone off the coffee table. Seeing the number on the call display she smiled wide as she clicked the talk button.
"Hey baby." Alex smiled from ear to ear, causing her older brother, Justin, to fake gag which Alex responded to by throwing a pillow his way and hitting him in the face.
"Hey, how you doing beautiful?" the girl on the other line asked, causing Alex to blush as she plopped herself on her bed.
"Good, I miss you though, when are you getting back here?" Alex asked with a pout. Mitchie had been gone for the last month and a half on tour and Alex was beginning to miss her terribly.
" 3 more weeks babe, and I miss you more, I really want to see you. A month and a half away from you is way too long." Mitchie added with a slight sigh. The girls had never been apart this long before and after Mitchie had been signed to Hollywood Records earlier that year she was on her first official tour and sadly Alex couldn't go with her due to school.
"A Day is way too long." Alex replied causing Mitchie to giggle slightly. The girls talked for the next hour, mostly about how their days had been and what was going on in life (Mitchie was on tour with Connect 3 which made for some interesting stories for Alex to hear). At around 11 Teresa came in and told her daughter it was time to head to bed. Alex told her mother that she would go to bed soon but by 12 Alex still showed no signs of being tired
"Babe you better get to sleep, you gotta get up for school and we're leaving Denver at 8." Mitchie said as she looked at the clock on her nightstand in the hotel room and saw the time.
"But I'm not tired." Alex whined.
"Sing me to sleep?"
"Since you asked so nicely.." Mitchie replied causing both her and Alex to giggle
"I actually just wrote a song while we've been talking. Wanna hear it?" Mitchie asked. Turning off the bedroom light and getting comfy under her blankets Alex replied with a yes and Mitchie took out her guitar that was sitting on the ground across from her. She put her cellphone on speaker and placed it on her bed and began plucking the strings of her acoustic guitar before beginning her song.
Hey Alexandra
What's it like in New York City?
I'm a thousand miles away
But girl, tonight you look so pretty
Yes you do
Times Square can't shine as bright as you
I swear it's trueIn the darkness of her bedroom, Alex smiled as she let the phone rest on her ear while her girlfriend continued to sing.
Hey Alexandra Oh it's what you do to me Hey Alexandra Hey Alexandra
Don't you worry about the distance
I'm right there if you get lonely
Give this song another listen
Close your eyes
Listen to my voice, it's my disguise
I'm by your side
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
What you do to me
I know times are getting hard
But just believe me, girl
Someday I'll pay the bills with this guitar
We'll have it good
We'll have the life we knew we would
My word is good
I've got so much left to say
If every simple song I wrote to you
Would take your breath away
I'd write it all
Even more in love with me you'd fall
We'd have it all
Oh it's what you do to me A thousand miles seems pretty far
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
But they've got planes and trains and cars
I'd walk to you if I had no other way
Our friends would all make fun of us
and we'll just laugh along because we know
That none of them have felt this way
oh Alex I can promise you
That by the time we get through
The world will never ever be the same
And you're to blame
Alex giggled slightly as her eyes now fought to stay open while her girlfriends voice floated through the phone.
Hey Alexandra Oh it's what you do to me
You be good and don't you miss me
Two more years and you'll be done with school
And I'll be making history like I do
You'll know it's all because of you
We can do whatever we want to
Hey Alexandra here's to you
This one's for you
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
What you do to me.
"What you think babe?" Mitchie asked as she turned the speaker phone off and placed the cellphone back against her ear. She waited for a few seconds but no reply came.
"Lex?" Mitchie asked again. Staying as quiet as she could Mitchie could make out light snores coming from the other end, making her giggle at her girlfriends adorable snores.
"Night Lexy." Mitchie said as she kept the phone on, listening to her girlfriends light snores as sleep soon consumed her as well.
Yeah, this was playing in my head as I listened to Hey There Delilah a while back and finally decided to write it since I had some free time on my hands. Hope y'all like it
R&R!
