A Song And A Story
Hello, guys, first of all I want to apologize if I say something wrong because I'm not English, so my English is not exactly perfect. I've read tons of fanfics, I've listened tons of songs and I've watched a lot of TV shows and films in English, so I'll try to do my best. I ain't no Shakespeare but I've got funny ideas and I think great music, so I'll put the tittle with a song and a short story, and if you don't like the story I'm sure you'll like the song.
Each chapter is going to be short and individual all based on a song and a little bit of my imagination.
I don't own the characters, (I wish I had a Deacon Claybourne all for me) they all belong to ABC's Nashville.
I hope you enjoy and review if you feel like to.

She was so nervous. Sure it wasn't the first time she was going to sing at the Bluebird, but t was the first time she was going to perform with him. They had played there together, he had helped her with the guitar, because even though her voice was amazing Watty thought that she needed a good guitar player, that's why he introduced her to Deacon Claybourne.
Deacon Claybourne, she thought. This was the first time they were going to perform together, as a duo. They were going to perform a song that both of them wrote together. When Watty introduced them her mind blocked and went back to the time and place in which they wrote the song they were about to perform.
Rayna was really nervous; she had met this boy, Deacon Claybourne just a week ago and she already had feelings for him. She had feelings for him since the first note he played on his rusty guitar, since the first time she looked into his eyes and he looked back and everything changed even though they didn't knew each other. Now, a week after he had written a song for her in all of five minutes, just inspired by looking her into her eyes or at least that's what he told her when she got jealous the day before they met when she read that song because she thought it was for his girlfriend. But now it was time to bury all the butterflies on her stomach and get into work, because Watty had asked them to write a song together, to perform together for the first time as a duo. They had met at the park so they could have a little privacy and also fresh air. Rayna who was always late got to the park ten minutes before the time the meeting was arranged, and when she spotted him her heart skipped a beat, and all the butterflies on her stomach came back to life. "Ugh, she's so handsome, but you have to focus on writting the song." Rayna told herself, but it was too late, he smiled at her, said hi with that charming smile of his and she found herself lost in his eyes.
"I know we were supposed to write a song together, please don't get mad, but I got inspired by a girl I met a few days ago and I have a pair of verses and a bit of the chorus, would you mind reading it?" Deacon asked. The first thing that came into Rayna's mind was getting mad at him for bringing her a song he had wrote for another girl, but she wanted this to work because she needed these to work so her dreams, and his too, could come true. "I'm gonna wear you down
I'm gonna make you see
I'm gonna get to you
you're gonna give in to me" By this time Rayna was equally amazed by his writing skills and mad at him for making her listen to a song he had written for another girl. "I'm gonna start a fire
you're gonna feel the heat
I'm gonna burn for you
you're gonna melt for me." Rayna was eclipsed by his voice, and wishing that she was the girl who inspired the song... She was willing to melt for him. "Come on, come on,
into my arms." He finished. "Come on, come on,
give in to me." She sung. "Did that line just came to you?" Deacon asked trying to hide how amazed he was by her sweet voice and her musical maturity. "Yes, I guess I can relate to the song. There's a guy at high school and I have a crush on him... So that line came easily." She lied, she knew too well that she was inspired by him, just by looking into his eyes, and all she wanted was him to give in to her. "I guess that stuff happens when you're in love." "Yes, I think so..." said Deacon trying to hide the disappointment he had felt when he discovered that she wasn't interested in him. "So what do you want to do right now? I've written half of the song, and this is supposed to be a co-wrote, I guess it's your turn to write some fluffly stuff about your teen crush." Rayna trying to not look offended by what he had just said wrote down a few phrases she had just came up with. "You're gonna take my hand
Whisper the sweetest words
And if you're ever sad
I'll make you laugh
I'll chase the hurt My heart is set on you
I don't want no one else
And if you don't want me
I guess I'll be all by myself." When he finished writting them, he pleaded her to sing her verses, so that's what she did. If Deacon had any doubt that he was in love with that girl, any doubt left have been resolved, he knew that he wanted to spend her life with that girl.
"Was it good?" Rayna asked.
"Are you kidding? I knew you were a good singer, but I didn't know you were that good at songwriting. I may have something for the bridge."
He started:
"I'll use my eyes to draw you in
until I'm under your skin." "I'll use my lips, I'll use my arms
Come on, come on, come on
Give in to me."
She finished. "Wow." They said at the same time.
"That was hell of a good song." Deacon said. "You must have a serious crush on that guy."
"Yes, I have, same goes for you and your mysterious girl. Would you introduce her to me anytime soon?" Rayna asked.
"Yes, sure I will, when we perform the song next Friday she'll come to the Bluebird."
She tried not to look offended, but sure she was, he was going to bring her to their first show as a duo, she wished she hadn't asked.
"Okay, I'll see you there." She said as she said goodbye. "
Give 'em a big applause, the next big thing, Rayna Jaymes and Deacon Claybourne y'all."
"Don't be nervous, if you feel like you're nervous just look at me." Deacon whispered to Rayna.
The first notes started playing, Rayna wasn't nervous at all, she was looking at him, watching him play and sing so naturally,.
"I'm gonna wear you down
I'm gonna make you see
I'm gonna get to you
You're gonna give in to me
I'm gonna start a fire
You're gonna feel the heat
I'm gonna burn for you
You're gonna melt for me."
She joined at the chorus, her voice was a little shaky due at how nervous she was.
Once her verses started, he grabbed her hand and she calmed down, and her voice got sweeter, as he heard it when they were performing the song back when they wrote it.
"You're gonna take my hand
Whisper the sweetest words
And if you're ever sad
I'll make you laugh
I'll chase the hurt
My heart is set on you
I don't want no one else
And if you don't want me
I guess I'll be all by myself."
When they got to the bridge they were so lost in to each other that he forgot that the bridge was all hers and the sang it together, looking into each other's eyes as the crow disappeared.
"I'll use my eyes to draw you in
Until I'm under your skin
I'll use my lips, I'll use my arms
Come on, come on, come on
Give in to me. "
Before they realized it the song was over, the looks they shared were broken by the biggest applause they've ever heard. As he kissed her cheek he said: "You were incredible, meet me in ten minutes at the exit of the Bluebird."
She smiled, she was excited about their little meeting, she was planning to tell him about her feelings for him, she combed her hair, she did her make up again, she had to be perfect for him. She spotted him talking with a girl. The girl. How could she have forgotten, he had a crush on a girl. A girl that wasn't her. She felt like a fool. She felt like crying, maybe it wasn't too late to run away from the Bluebird. But it was, Deacon had noticed her and shouted: "Ray, come here." She wasn't going to go, but when she heard him calling her Ray, just like her mother did when she was a little girl, she melted.
"Hey Deacon! How's everything? Was her your girl crush? Did the song work? Are you and her now girlfriend and boyfriend? I'm glad it worked!" Rayna said without stopping.
"Ray, stop." There it was, he calling her Ray, so perfectly... "She's Olyvia, and she's just a friend." Deacon said.
"Wait, what? Isn't her your girl crush? But you told me she was going to be at the Bluebird today. Is she going to come over later? Should I go and leave you alone? It was a pleasure singing with you." Rayna asked.
"Ray could you stop it!" He screamed. "The girl is already here... She performed with me the song I wrote with her, for her, ten minutes ago..."
"She left ten minutes ago and you're talking with me!" She screamed, then she thought about what he had just said. "Wait, what?"
"The girl I like... Performed the song with me... The girl I like it's you Rayna... It's you."
He leaned in and kissed her. She kissed him back; it felt right, like home...
"Shit, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have done that. You don't like me; you're into that high school teen..." Deacon said.
"About that... He doesn't exist, I mean I have a crush on someone, but I was scared that he didn't like me back and he told me he was into another girl... He just kissed me... He's you." She said.
"Come on, give in to me." He sung.
Come on, give in to me." She sung back.
They kissed again, as everything and everyone disappeared and they melted into each other.
