A Random Story Iwrote a while ago inspired by a quote by Souza. Also by the Song: "For The First Time" by The Script, which I suggest you listen to before or while you're reading the story. And please read it all the way through, not stop when you think its done (cause I've done that once and I got VERY mixed up haha :)) as the story is wound through the lyrics.
You'll understand better as you read :)
The Lyrics are all underlined. Plain normal text is Kate singing, Henry is italic and when they both sing its bold. :)
Lyrics were found on the Internet but they were terribly wrong, so I ended up having to listen to the song about 20 times to get them exactly right :)
I'm still getting the hang of these characters, so please forgive me if their little… I don't know what fan fiction word you use haha :)
"For The First Time"
"Dance as though no one is watching. Love as though you've never been hurt. Sing as though no one can hear you. Live as though heaven is on earth."
- Souza
…
She's all layed up in bed with a broken heart
While I'm drinking Jack all alone in my local bar
And we don't know how
How we got in this mad situation,
Only doing things out of frustration
Trying to make it work,
but man these times are hard.
Kate sung, as she started to paint the quote her mother had once told her on her wall. The gold and silver letters sparkled in the fading Old City light coming from her window, as she continued singing and swaying from side to side.
She needs me now but I can't seem to find the time
I got a new job now on the unemployment line
And we don't know how
How we got into this mess is it God's test,
Someone help us cos' we're doing our best
Trying to make things work,
but man these times are hard.
Kate's bedroom door was opened slightly as Henry peeked in to watch her. She was dancing around in a pair of jeans and a large, over-sized blue shirt as she was painting a quote on the wall. Every now and again she would turn the paintbrush into a microphone at some point in the song, then turn back and sway from side to side as she painted.
But we're gonna start by drinking old cheap bottles of wine
Sit up talking up all night,
Saying things we haven't said for a while,
A while yeah
We're smiling but we're close to tears
Even after all these years
But just now got the feeling that where meeting
For the first time.
Henry couldn't help it. He walked in and spun her around and started dancing with her. He couldn't even stop himself from joining in singing as they danced slowly, their eyes locked on the others.
Ooowwwwwww
Ooowwwwwww
Ooowwwwwww
She's in line at the door with her head held high
Well I just lost my job, but didn't lose my pride
And we both know how
How we gonna make it work when it hurts,
When you pick yourself up you get kicked to the dirt
Trying to make it work
But man these times are hard
But we're gonna start by drinking old cheap bottles of wine
Sit talking up all night,
Doing things we haven't or a while,
A while yeah
You're smiling but we're close to tears
Even after all these years
But just now got the feeling that where meeting
For the first time.
Ooowwwwwww
Ooowwwwwww
Ooowwwwwww
Yeah drinking all cheap bottles of wine
Sit talking up all night,
Saying things we haven't for a while
We're smiling but we're close to tears,
Even after all these years
We just now got the feeling that we're meeting
For the first time.
Ooowwwwwww
Yeah for the first time
Ooowwwwwww
Ohh for the first time
Ooowwwwwww
Yeah for the first time
For the first time
Oh these times are hard,
They're making us crazy
Give up on me baby
Oh these times are hard,
Yeah they're making us crazy
Give up on me baby
Oh these times are hard,
Yeah they're making us crazy
Give up on me baby
Oh these times are hard,
They're making us crazy
Give up on me baby
They stopped moving as the last few notes played, thier eyes never losing contact, standing still in their positions.
"Uhhh… wow… I never knew you could sing." Kate stuttered. Why the hell was she feeling like this? It was Henry! Her friend!
But the more their eyes kept contact, the more she couldn't stop the butterflies colliding in her stomach, the rapid and loud beating of her heart, and the sudden heat that rushed to her cheeks.
"Nor did i… I mean you… I mean I never knew I could… I.." He just looked at her flustered, and she couldn't help it, she laughed.
"What?" he asked her innocently and smiled.
"You! Your soo cute!" she blurted out, her hand flew to her mouth and the blush on her cheek deepened.
The grin Henry was wearing grew even more. "Cute am I?" she slapped him.
"Don't get a big head okay?"
"I'm a werewolf; you should see the size of my head when I've changed." He frowned and she did too.
"I just said that aloud did I?" he said wincing.
"Yep." She smiled, loving every minute of his embarrassment, the flush of his cheeks, the sparkle of laughter in his eyes the… KATE! STOP IT!
But she couldn't help it.
And it didn't help that in the midst of her thoughts; Henry leaned over and captured her lips.
Throwing every other thought she had out the window, and her paintbrush clattering to the floor.
So whatcha think? I'm still trying to get the hang of all the characters. Please Review! Even if it's just to leave a happy face! :) :D
