"Two Doors Down" by Mystery Jets
I think I'm in love,
With the girl next door
It's driving me crazy
I can't take it anymore
I hear her playing the drums late at night
The neighbours complain but that's the kind of girl I like
And maybe I should call her up
And buy her a round
Maybe I should move to another town
But when I hear those drums late at night
I know I'm in love
With a girl who lives
Two Doors Down
I think I'm in love with a girl who lives
Two Doors Down
I think I'm in love with a girl who lives
Two Doors Down
I think I'm in love with a girl who lives
Two Doors Down
I think I'm in love
She and her friends sit at the back of the bus
But I'm always to shy to work the courage up
I hear that she likes to dance around the room
To a worn out 12" of Marquee Moon
And maybe I should say "What's up?"
And buy her a round
Or take her for a spin around the town
Cos when I hear those drums late at night
I know I'm in love
With a girl who lives
Two Doors Down
I think I'm in love with a girl who lives
Two Doors Down
I think I'm in love with a girl who lives
Two Doors Down
I think I'm in love with a girl who lives
Two Doors Down
I think I'm in love with a girl who lives
Two Doors Down
I think I'm in love
Two Doors Down
I think I'm in love
I think I'm in love with a girl who lives
Two Doors Down
I think I'm in love
Two Doors Down
I think I'm in love
I think I'm in love with a girl who lives
Two Doors Down
I think I'm in love with a girl who lives
And maybe I should call her up
And buy her a round
And one day we could move to another town
Cos when I hear those drums late at night
I know I'm in love
In love with a girl who lives
Two Doors Down
I think I'm in love with a girl who lives
Two Doors Down
I think I'm in love with a girl who lives
Two Doors Down
I think I'm in love with a girl who lives
Two Doors Down
I think I'm in love with a girl who lives
Two Doors Down
I think I'm in love
Two Doors Down
I think I'm in love
I think I'm in love with a girl who lives
Two Doors Down
I think I'm in love
Two Doors Down
I think I'm in love
I think I'm in love with a girl who lives
Two Doors Down
I think I'm in love with a girl who lives

EPOV
It was Friday afternoon and I was done for the week, I drove my Volvo from campus to my small apartment and contemplated what to do for the weekend, since I didn't really had friends around, my best friend Jasper was going back home to Texas for his mother's birthday, taking Alice, my little sister and his girlfriend of two years with him. At first I was pissed at him for wanting to date my younger, fresh out of high school sister, but then I saw he was going to be good to her and they would both be happy together, now, a few years later, I can see it.
Jasper and I go to Dartmouth, I'm a Computer Science major and he's Engineering Major, Alice on the other hand, always had a talent for fashion and at twenty one, she owns a clothes and make up small store off campus, five blocks from where I live.
I made it to my apartment and went straight to shower, relaxing under the stream of hot water; I dried off and putted on my pajamas, an old pair of sweat pants and an old white t-shirt. I made some mac'n'cheese for myself and dropped down on the couch to see if I could finish Left 4 Dead before going to bed. Sad, but at twenty three, my best plan for a Friday night was eating and battling zombies until I fell asleep. Alice was right, I needed a life outside school, games and occasional work, and she insisted I needed a girlfriend. I wasn't so sure about that, I had a girlfriend before and Tanya destroyed me, Alice was right about her too, but of course, Alice was always right somehow.
I finished the game, shooting two monster sized zombies repeatedly, resulting in my only surviving character wining the game, I didn't think that was wining, his only achievement was not dying, but the developers know better than us, the gamers. I washed the dinner bowl, brushed my teeth and crawled to bed; falling asleep seconds after my head hit the pillow.
I woke up the next morning at 9 and had some cereal for breakfast; I got dressed in jeans, my blue Converse and my Batman t-shirt and headed for the store. The streets were almost empty, most people here were collage students like me, but they were surely still asleep or too hang over to go out in the sunlight, I got to the store and bought bread, some cookies, apples, mouthwash and shampoo. I paid and walked back home, noticing the rusty red old truck that was parked next to my Volvo. I observed the vehicle until I saw the girl moving boxes from the bed of the truck to the ground. She was average in height and weight but there's was nothing average about the rest of her, she had flowing brunette hair, pale skin, a heart-shaped face, big chocolate eyes and a nice rack. Well, I might be a geek, but I'm still a man. She was wearing fitted blue jeans, a dark gray v-neck tee and burgundy low top Converse shoes too.
I thought about offering my help, but as I can't talk to girls other than my sister, I didn't speak to her, not wanting to make a fool of myself seconds after meeting her. As I walked up to my door, I saw the door to the empty apartment two doors down from mine open and I could see inside a big, purple drum set sitting in the middle of what might be the living room.
It was the afternoon and I was sitting on my dark blue couch playing Uncharted 2 when a soft knock on my door distracted me and I got killed. It was weird, nobody knocked on my door, much less if Jasper and Alice were out of town.
I got to the door and opened it to look into the brightest, most lovely eyes I've ever seen.
"Hi, I'm sorry to bother you, my name is Bella, I just moved in, two doors down" she said shyly.
"Don't worry, I'm Edward" I said extending my hand to shake. She took it and I felt this strange electric current in her touch "how can I help you?" I stammered.
"I was wondering if I could borrow a screw driver?" she asked softly.
"Oh, of course, come on in" I said, moving in so she could come into my apartment "which kind do you need?"
"Um, a Phillips" she said, and I was surprised to see she knew they were different kinds of screwdrivers.
"I'll go get you one" she walked into my apartment and I went to the kitchen to get her the screw driver. I came back to the living room and handed her the tool. I liked seeing her in my home, don't know why.
"Here you go" I said handing her the tool with a small smile.
"Thank you, I'll give it back tomorrow" she smiled up at me and my heart stopped.
"Don't worry" I stammered and she headed for the door.
"Ok, I like your shirt, by the way"
"You like Batman?" I asked, surprised.
"Yeah, he's a good superhero" she smirked and walked out "thanks for the screw driver".
"You're welcome" I nodded "and it's nice to meet you"
"You too, Edward" she smirked, maybe like she was flirting and went into her apartment.
And her saying my name went straight to my shaft.
