So this is my new story. I really didn't like the other one I had because it just seemed like the rest. So here it goes... Tell me if you like it or hate it! Please tell me your option!
I had just finished singing my new song Alive and the drunken crowd was going wild. I was singing at the local bar by my college campus. My friend Mel was the loudest hooping and hollering. Mel came to visit me for my college graduation. When I walked over to her, I was pulled into a huge hug by my boyfriend Kaleb. Kaleb and I have been dating since my early admission to Brown four years ago. He was sweet and always put me as his number one priority. It was only a plus that he was completely sexy and he could sing like nobody's business. Kaleb and I always come to this bar to perform together and sing the new songs I write.
When Kaleb finally let me out of his grip, I pecked him on his lips and walked over to Mel.
"Hey Mel how was that?" I asked her.
"OMG Lo! That was amazing! Thank god that I got that on video! You my dear are going to be a internet sensation!" Mel yelled over the loud music of the next singer.
"Thanks Mel, but please don't put it on the internet! I sound like a dying whale!" I pleaded, putting on my best puppy dog face.
"Lo you were amazing. Don't try and put yourself down. Now come on babe, it's our turn for the new duet!" Kaleb said excitedly.
"Okay. Lets go." I could tell Kaleb is excited because he has never heard the song before, but to tell you the truth I am nervous. I always feel like my songs are not good enough, but Kaleb seems to think they are. I just hope he likes the song.
"Next up is... Loren Tate and Kaleb Selman!" Tony the announcer yelled into the microphone.
"Hey guys this is a song I wrote and it is called Just Give Me A Reason! Here it goes!" I say into the microphone.
Loren
Kaleb
Both
Right from the start You were a thief You stole my heart And I your willing victim I let you see the parts of me That weren't all that pretty And with every touch you fixed them
Now you've been talking in your sleep, oh, oh Things you never say to me, oh, oh Tell me that you've had enough Of our love, our love
Just give me a reason Just a little bit's enough Just a second we're not broken just bent And we can learn to love again It's in the stars It's been written in the scars on our hearts We're not broken just bent And we can learn to love again
I'm sorry I don't understand Where all of this is coming from I thought that we were fine (Oh, we had everything) Your head is running wild again My dear we still have everythin' And it's all in your mind (Yeah, but this is happenin')
You've been havin' real bad dreams, oh, oh You still lie so close to me, oh, oh There's nothing more than empty sheets Between our love, our love Oh, our love, our love
Just give me a reason Just a little bit's enough Just a second we're not broken just bent And we can learn to love again I never stopped You're still written in the scars on my heart You're not broken just bent And we can learn to love again
Oh, tear ducts and rust I'll fix it for us We're collecting dust But our love's enough You're holding it in You're pouring a drink No nothing is as bad as it seems We'll come clean
Just give me a reason Just a little bit's enough Just a second we're not broken just bent And we can learn to love again It's in the stars It's been written in the scars on our hearts That we're not broken just bent And we can learn to love again
Just give me a reason Just a little bit's enough Just a second we're not broken just bent And we can learn to love again It's in the stars It's been written in the scars on our hearts That we're not broken just bent And we can learn to love again
Oh, we can learn to love again Oh, we can learn to love again Oh, oh, that we're not broken just bent And we can learn to love again
By the end everybody in the bar is cheering and yelling our names. I turn to look at Kaleb and see him staring at me. I avoid his gaze and walk off toward Mel, who is also just staring at me with her camera frozen on me.
"Wow Lo that song was amazing, but is it about you know who from high school?" Mel questioned me.
"Look it is just a song and you know I don't like to talk about high school. It is just an old song I found in my journal and I fixed it. That's it! Okay?" I was starting to get irritated like I did every time someone mentioned him.
"Fine, but Kaleb sure seems shocked." Mel stated a little too loudly when Kaleb showed up beside me and put his arm around my waist.
"I was shocked that my girl was such a talented song writer." He stated proudly.
"Thanks, but you have heard my other stuff too." I said.
"I know, but this one was different. I had more depth and meaning. I would say this is my favorite, but do you mind if I ask what this song was about?" He asked.
"It is just an old song. It has no meaning. Okay?" I was getting more irritated. First Mel and now him. Can't they just get over it and not ask questions. Yes it was a song I wrote when I was with him, but that doesn't mean they should rehash the memory. The memory of Senior year and my worst memory, Eddie Duran.
