My first try at a one- shot... EnJoy?

She left me two years ago, and yet I was still doing the same thing... Moping around, and listening to music:
I know it feels like the end,
Don't want to be here again.
And we could help each other off the ground,
so we never fall down again.
And what it takes I don't care,
Were gonna make it I swear.
And we could help each other off the ground,
so we never fall down again, again.
I'll need a little more luck than a little bit,
Cause every time I get stuck, the words won't fit.
And every time that I try I get tongue tied;
I need a little good luck to get me by.
I need a little more help than a little bit.
Like the perfect one word no one's heard yet.
Because every time that I try to get tongue tied,
I need a little good luck to get me by this time.
I know it feels like the end,
Don't want to be here again.
And we could help each other off the ground,
so we never fall down again.
And what it takes I don't care,
Were gonna make it I swear.
And we could help each other off the ground,
so we never fall down again.
"And now a special treat for those native to Toronto, a song from one of our very own, Clare Edwards"
I said right up, turning up my stereo:
I'm so glad you made time to see me
How's life, tell me, how's your family?
I haven't seen them in a while
You've been good, busier than ever
We small talk, work and the weather
Your guard is up and I know why
Because the last time you saw me still burned in the back of your mind
You gave me roses and I left them there to die
So this is me swallowing my pride,
standin' in front of you,
sayin' I'm sorry for that night
And I go back to December all the time
It turns out freedom ain't nothin' but missin' you,
wishin' I'd realized what I had when you were mine
I go back to December, turn around and make it alright
I go back to December all the time
These days I haven't been sleepin'
Stayin' up playin' back myself leavin'
When your birthday passed and I didn't call
And I think about summer, all the beautiful times
I watched you laughin' from the passenger side
and realized I loved you in the fall
Then the cold came, the dark days when fear crept into my mind
You gave me all your love and all I gave you was goodbye
So this is me swallowing my pride,
standin' in front of you,
sayin' I'm sorry for that night
And I go back to December all the time
It turns out freedom ain't nothin' but missin' you,
wishin' I'd realized what I had when you were mine
I go back to December, turn around and make it alright
I go back to December all the time
I miss your tan skin, your sweet smile
So good to me, so right
And how you held me in your arms that September night
The first time you ever saw me cry
Maybe this is wishful thinking
Probably mindless dreaming
But f we loved again I swear I'd love you right
I'd go back in time and change it but I can't
So if the chain is on your door, I understand
So this is me swallowing my pride,
standin' in front of you,
sayin' I'm sorry for that night
And I go back to December all the time
It turns out freedom ain't nothin' but missin' you,
wishin' I'd realized what I had when you were mine
I go back to December, turn around and make it alright
I'd go back to December, change my own mind
I go back to December all the time
All the time
Her voice was as sweet as ever, and I began to miss her even more. There was a knock at my aparment door, which was a little odd, seeing as it was after midnight. I got up, cursing as I ran into something in the dark. I turned on the light in the living room, then openeded the door. I was asleep, I had to be, there was no way that Clare could be standing in front of me, "Um, hi," she said, "Can we maybe talk?" she asked, I let her in, once I found my voice, I said, "You're soaked," "My car wouldn't start, so I walked here," she explained, "How did you know where to find me?" I asked, "Adam told me," "Oh," I said smartly, she began to shiver, "C'mon, before we do anything, you need to get into some dry clothes," I said, standing, "I'm fine, really," she shivered, I walked out of the room, found a shirt and some sweats, and came back to where Clare was standing, "Go put these on," I directed, tossing her the clothes, she sighed, but did as I asked.

I changed into his clothes, breathing in his scent, "Why are you here?" he asked, somewhat curtly, "I wanted to apologize for what happened all those years ago, I was just so overloaded, I was still dealing with my parents, trying to keep my grades up, and every night I worried about you, I couldn't handle all of that, then I spent the last few years wondering if I did the right thing, and when I finally realized that I didn't, I came home." I said, "I never meant to hurt you," "It wasn't that bad," he lied, "I knew you would probably say that, so I asked Adam," I explained, "You have a music career now, why do you need me?" he demanded, I was shocked, I didn't know that he knew about that, "Because I wasn't happy, I never got the chance to tell you how I felt," I admitted, "And how do you feel?" "I love you, Eli, that's how feel, that's how I've always felt, I was just scared, I didn't want to end up like my parents," tears flowed from my eyes, I closed my eyes. I felt his soft hands on my face, wiping my tears away, "Don't cry, please don't, I can't stand seeing you cry," he whispered, eventually pulling me into his arms and there I sat in his arms and for the longest time, we were both quiet, "I feel the same way," he said softly, "Hmm?" I asked, turning to face him, "I love you," he breathed, I smiled and lightly kissed his lips.

We were laying in my bed, when I realized something, "You seemed surprised when I said that knew about your music career," I said, "I kind of was, I figured that you would want nothing to do with me," she said, "I heard one of your songs on the radio, right before you came actually," I admitted, "Which one?" she asked, "Back to December, I think it was," I replied, she smiled, "I wrote that song about you," I smiled as well, promising myself that now that I have her back, I would never let her go for as long as I live.
Hope you liked it... I got the idea listening to Back to December by Taylor Swift, while I did the dishes. The other song was Tongue Tied by Faber Drive...
