I DO NOT OWN: song lyrics (Taylor Swift-You belong with me) (Heart- Alone) or any characters from Twilight (unfortunately… Stephenie Meyer gets the credit.)
You're on the phone with your girlfriend; she's upset she's going off about something that you said 'cause she doesn't get your humor like I do
I sat strumming my guitar, singing along softly to the tune I was playing, when I heard it. It's always the same with her.
"What do you mean? Are you saying I'm fat?" There was a wall separating us, and she was only talking to him over the phone, but I could clearly hear her screeching. She did that often.
"Tanya! You asked me how you looked last night in the dress, so I told you the truth! I told you it showed off your curves not that you were fat!"
"Fuck you!"
"What did I say this time?"
"You didn't have to say anything! I know you're thinking of that… that freak!"
"Hey! Was there any need for that?"
Great. She brought me into this argument again.
"We all know she likes you! It doesn't help that she lives next door either!"
I blushed. I fucking blushed, even though nobody could see me and nobody knew I was… well, I was listening in.
"Well what do you expect me to do? Move out, oh, even better yet, let's get her to move out of her home? Yeah let's do that. No Tanya, why can't you ever just drop it?"
I don't think I was meant to feel proud. He was standing up to her, for once in his fucking life, he was standing up to her. I prayed on everything out there to let this be it… of course nothing good ever happened to me, so why did I bother.
"Baby, don't be like that, please? I'll, I'll come over tomorrow and we can sort things out properly, ok?"
Sigh.I moved away from the wall and started strumming louder, actually singing louder this time.
"I hear the ticking of the clock
I'm lying here the room's pitch dark
I wonder where you are tonight
No answer on the telephone
And the night goes by so very slow
Oh I hope that it won't end though
Alone
Till now I always got by on my own
I never really cared until I met you
And now it chills me to the bone
How do I get you alone
How do I get you alone"
I was about to carry on with the song when my brother called up.
"Bells! Eddie Boy's here, come down stairs."
That was my big brother, stepping up to the plate when they both passed…
"I'm coming." I whispered down the stairs, I knew they couldn't hear me but at least I can say that I answered them.
