Title: You

Pairing: Neela/Ray

Note: this started as a game, I was bored and I felt in love with the song "You" by Switchfoot. So I thought "Ray could be romantic and write a song like that, right?" and then VOILA! Here it is! A crappy, lame fanfic…

Hope you like it…its late and I'm tired….I'm sorry if I couldn't write a better fic.

Ps: the song "You" used on this fic does not belong to me or Ray Barnett…

"He's been sitting there for an hour" Abby said to the Neela, there were both looking at Ray who was sitting on a chair, writing something on a notebook.

"What's the problem? Leave him alone" Neela says, but she, as Abby, was also intrigued

"Don't you wanna ask him?"

"me? Why me?" Neela looks at Abby and then to Ray, he was indeed extremely weird

"You're his roomie...he'll tell ya" Abby pushes Neela to where Ray was, he looks at her and then to his notebook .Neela smiles sweetly. It was the only way she had to get the information she needed

"Hey roomie" she say, he stares at her

"Hey Neela" he keeps writing and writing none stop

"What are you doing?" she ask, finally

"I'm writing" he says, turning his head to his notebook

"What are you writing about?"

He thinks for a second "50 ways of killing your curious roommate" he smiles

"Funny" she steps a bit closer, he put his hands around his notebook, protecting it from any sneak peak "you're really not gonna tell me?"

"Nope, sorry" he writes again .Neela leaves to where Abby was.

"He didn't say"

"Damn you Ray!" Abby cursed and walked away with Neela by her side

Eventually they give up and start working.

1 hour later.

The sound of a soft guitar could clearly be heard from the launch room. Almost all the ER was paying attention to the soft music, including Neela and Abby, followed by male voice singing. Nobody knew who he was...

"There's always something in the way

always something getting through

but is not me. It's you"

Neela followed the soft music, trying to find out who was singing. There was something in his voice, something that melts her heart.

"Sometimes ignorance rings true

but hope is not in

what I know. not in me

it's in you"

She stood near the lunch doorframe. Watching him as he played the guitar and sang...she could not believe how sweet his voice sounded, so different, so...romantic

"I found peace when I'm confused

I find hope when I'm let down

not in me but in you

it's in you"

He didn't notice her present, not her eyes on him either...nor she realize the song, that particular song, was only for her...his love.

"I hope I lose myself for good

I hope I find it in the end

not in me...me in you

in you"

The song finished and Ray let go his guitar aside. Neela didn't make any attempt to move as he stood up; he was in shock to realize she was there. Watching him, smiling at him

"That's the most beautiful song I've ever heard" she said, Ray blushed.

"It's nothing, really" he said shyly

"You wrote that?"

He didn't say a word. Then she understood

"it was on your notebook...that's you didn't want me to see it" she walked closer and closer until they were inches apart...she could get lost on his beautiful eyes. Sweet green eyes

"I wrote it for you..." he whispered "I know it sucks...and I'm not the romantic type but I really couldn't help it."

"It's gorgeous, Ray" she had no more word, she was speechless for the first time in her life

Silence filed the room. Ray was unable to move...until he broke the silence with one tender whispered

"I found myself in you...not in me"

THE END!

It sucks! I know!
