Waiting on the sideline
Mitchie had been sitting on the park bench, waiting for Mikayla to call her but her phone never went off. She sighed sadly as she put her phone away. Tear started to fall from her eyes so she quickly brushed them away.
"I can't keep waiting, waiting
I can't keep waiting, waiting"
"Show me a sign
Give me a reason to believe in your smile
Cause I'm not seeing anything on your face
It's like our love was erased
From your eyes"
As more tears fell from her eyes, Mitchie thought of all the good times the two of them had shared. She couldn't figure out what had went wrong with their friendship. Was it something she said? Or didn't say? Was it something she did wrong? Or did she do something right? These were the questions that bothered her the most. But for whatever reason, Mikayla had walked away from their friendship of ten years.
"Throw me a rope
Don't leave me drowning in an ocean so cold
I really need you to help me understand
Why you don't reach for my hand
When you know I'm hurting"
"I've been on the sideline waiting baby
Feeling like I'm here alone
I don't wanna be your last resort
Sitting on the bench waiting for your call
Oh, I thought that we were closer"
"I try and I try and you're never around
I say I won't cry, but the tears they come
Pouring and the truth is I
Don't wanna leave but I'm losing my mind
Waiting on the sideline"
Mitchie had been at the park for two hours, still waiting for Mikayla to call her but she knew that she should just give up. She remembered all the times the two of them had danced with each other in her room. Mitchie remembered when Mikayla had tried to teach her how to slow dance, she ended up stepping on her best friend's feet. They would always dance till the sun would come up no matter how tired they were.
"This your chance
Our song is playing
And you should want us to dance
You used to laugh when I would step on your feet
Is that just a memory?
Remember when we danced til the sun came up
I'm not a game
You can't replace me if I happen to break
So don't make promises and not follow through
Cause I don't do that to you
Baby can you feel me yeah?"
Suddenly, Mitchie heard her and Mikayla's song, she wondered where it was coming from. She looked around then she realized that it was her phone that was going off. Mitchie looked at the caller ID and she noticed that it was Mikayla. She wasn't sure if she should answer or if she should just let it ring. But she had been at the park for two hours, waiting for Mikayla to call her, this was her chance to fix things, to make things right again.
Mitchie breathed in deeply before she answered her phone. "Hi Kayla," she said softly. "Mitchie, what's wrong? You sound like you've been crying." Mitchie let out a shaky breath before going on. "Yeah, I've been crying Mikayla. For two hours, waiting for you to call me. I want to know why you left me, why did you break my heart like that? I thought you cared about me, about us, about our friendship." More tears fell from her eyes. Mikayla's heart broke because Mitchie was upset and she felt bad.
"I've been on the sideline waiting for you
Feeling like I'm here alone
I don't wanna be your last resort
Sitting on the bench waiting for your call
Oh, I thought that we were closer"
"I try and I try and you're never around
I say I won't cry, but the tears they come
Pouring and the truth is I
Don't wanna leave but I'm losing my mind
Waiting on the sideline"
"Mitchie, I do care about you. You know I do, more than I've ever cared about someone in my entire life. You mean everything to me. I didn't mean to hurt you like that and I never meant to leave you. It's just…we can't be together. The media will be all over it and we'll lose our jobs. Our fans will leave us. We can be together when we're eighteen but as of right now we just can't."
Mitchie's heart was breaking even more and she couldn't believe what Mikayla just said.
"Some things gotta change
Cause I've been losing faith
I love you but I can't wait here forever
How did you get so far
So far away from my heart?
Don't you realize that I'm here too?"
"What happened to you? You've changed. I just can't believe this right now. You were the one who doesn't care about any of that. How did you get so far away my heart? I loved you Kayla, I really did. Now I'm not so sure anymore," Mitchie spoke softly through her tears.
"I can't keep waiting, waiting
I can't keep waiting, waiting"
"Cause it don't seem like you do
(I can't keep waiting, waiting)
Cause I am hurt
(I can't keep waiting, waiting)
I don't need hurt from you"
There was a moment of silence between the two friends until Mitchie finally spoke again. "Look, I can wait till we're eighteen but I think I just need some time from our friendship. I need to figure some things out and once I do, we can talk okay? One thing I know I'll never stop doing, and that's loving you and caring about you." Mikayla felt the tears forming in her eyes. "Okay Mitch, when you figure things out and when you find you, please come back to me. I love you too, always have, always will and I'll never stop." And with nothing else to say to each other, they hung up. Within five seconds after hanging up, both girls cried softly.
"You got me waiting on the sideline
I've been waiting on the sideline waiting for you
Feeling like I'm here alone
I don't wanna be your last resort
Sitting on the bench waiting for your call
Oh, I thought that we were closer"
"I try and I try and you're never around
I say I won't cry but the tears they keep
Pouring down more and the truth is I
Don't wanna leave but I'm losing my mind
Waiting on the sideline"
"Ooooh ohh
Cause I am hurt
I don't need hurt from you"
"You got me waiting on the sideline"
Mitchie really thought that they were so much stronger than this. The two of them were a team, backing each other up no matter what. Now everything was over or was it? Mikayla said once Mitchie figured things out, she told her to come back to her. But the thing is, will Mitchie go back?
