Paralyzed
Summary: James Diamond has had a crush on Emilie Mercer for two or three months now. But he seems to always get paralyzed around her when he wants to tell her how he feels. This is how he overcomes it. (JamesxOC)
(James' P.O.V)
She was just so pretty that it almost hurt. The best part about it was that she was unaware of her beauty. Her dark black curls framed her naturally tanned skin. She was short, only 5'3; almost a whole foot shorter than me. My favorite part about her was those grey eyes. You rarely saw eyes that color.
"Hey James." Her voice interrupted my thoughts. She sat in the beach chair beside me and smiled. Her body was covered only by a black bikini and nothing else.
"Hey." I cleared my throat before speaking. "What's up?"
"Nothing…is it true that Jo left for New Zealand yesterday?" She asked.
"Yes."
"Good." I raised an eyebrow at her. "It was freaky to see those two together. Jo was like the female version of Kendall and vice versa!" It was no secret that Emilie never liked her.
"Be nice. Kendall's really tore up about it."
"Oh I will. Don't worry." This seemed like a good time to let her know my feelings.
"Can I tell you something Leah?" Her name was Emilie but we had come up with different nicknames for her. I called her Leah.
"Sure." She smiled back at him.
"I like y-" I tried speaking before Andrew Thompson interrupted. He was a dancer on Shake It Up L.A and was of the most handsome guys here – according to Camille, Katie, and Leah.
"Emilie would you like to grab a bite to eat after the show tonight?" Yeah, Leah was a dancer too, on the same show.
"Actually, she has a date with me." I stood up and was face to face with Andrew. He was only about 5'10, so this worked out in my favor.
"I'll talk to you later." He said to Leah but looking at me before walking about over to the side of the pool where the rest of his friends were.
"James Isaac Diamond." I turned around and faced Emilie. She may have been almost an entire foot shorter than me but she still scared me with how angry she looked. "I certainly do NOT have a date with YOU tonight. You had no reason to be a jerk to Drew."
"Emilie-" Again I was interrupted.
"Don't Emilie me Diamond." She glared at me. "What if I wanted to go on a date with Drew tonight? Now you've rui-" I grabbed the back of her head and smashed my lips against hers. At first, she didn't do anything. But then she finally relaxed, wrapped her arms around my waist and kissed back. As much as I wanted to continue kissing her, this position was uncomfortable.
"This is why I was a jerk to him."
"Why didn't you tell me sooner?" She questioned him.
"You paralyze me Emilie." He looked down at her before kissing her forehead.
You, you walked into the room
On a Friday afternoon
That's where I saw you for the first time
And I was paralyzed
I had a million things to say
But none of them came out that day
Cause I was never one of those guys
That always had the best lines
Time stops ticking
My hands keep shaking
And you don't even know that
I try to speak
But girl you got me tongue tied
I try to breathe
But I'm f-f-frozen inside
I try to move but I'm stuck in my shoes
You got me paralyzed, paralyzed, p-p-p-paralyzed
I see you walking
But all you do is pass me by
Can't even talk-talk
Cause words don't come into my mind
I'd make a move if I had the guts to
But I'm paralyzed, paralyzed, p-p-p-paralyzed!
Now, I learned alot from my mistake
Never let a good thing slip away
I've had alot of time to look back
And my only regret is
Not telling you what I was going through
You didn't even know that
I try to speak
But girl you got me tongue tied
I try to breathe
But I'm f-f-frozen inside
I try to move but I'm stuck in my shoes
You got me paralyzed, paralyzed, p-p-p-paralyzed
I see you walking
But all you do is pass me by
Can't even talk-talk
Cause words don't come into my mind
I'd make a move if I had the guts to
But I'm paralyzed, paralyzed, p-p-p-paralyzed!
As the years go by
I think about you all the time
If I get the chance
I hope I won't be paralyzed
Paralyzed by you!

Paralyzed, Paralyzed
(You got me tongue-tied)
Paralyzed, Paralyzed
(And now I'm frozen inside)
Paralyzed, paralyzed
You've got me paralyzed, paralyzed
P-p-paralyzed!
