Horton Hears A Who: Better in Time
by: Terrell James
A few days after Nadine's breakup, Jojo has a hard time dealing with it. After thinking about her, he still feels like he's haunted by the situation. He stayed in his room for 3 days and felt so depressed and resentful. He looked out at the window and seen other people going with their friends who are girls. He sighed and said to himself, "If only this would've happened to me."
He heard a knock on the door and said, "Who is it?"
"It's me."
He walked through the room, opened the door and he saw his dad. He sighed heavily and said, "What is it?"
"Can I come in, son?" We need to talk." said Ned.
"Sure." he said, as he walked in and sat down on his bed. Ned turned to him and said, "Son, you've been in this room for 3 days. Is something bothering you?"
Jojo turned to his dad and he recognized the stare that his son felt broken-hearted. He said, "You're still not over the breakup, aren't you?"
Jojo sighed sadly and said, "No. I still can't believe it. Why would she break up with me?"
"Well, it's the phase that most relationships go. One minute, it turns out okay at first, but then at the last minute, they realize that things aren't working out the way you thought it would be. When they break up with you or you break up with them, they first thing they feel is anger, denial and bitterness. It's kinda complicated, but that's just the way with most girls. They just need some space. I hope one day you understand, son." said Ned.
"Yeah. I guess I do." said Jojo.
"Good."
Jojo laid on his bed and his voice started to crack a little. He said, trying to find his voice, "I wanna cry."
Ned puts his hand on his shoulder and said, "It's okay to let it out. I know most boys don't feel comfortable with it, but they do it anyway. Just express your feelings by writing a song. That's what you do."
"Yeah. I guess you're right. I have been feeling a little depressed and angry lately." said Jojo.
"All right. I'll be downstairs if you need me. I hope this talk helped. If you want to talk about more of this, I'm here." said Ned.
"Okay, thanks." said Jojo.
Ned left the room with a sigh. He walked away and Jojo brought out his notebook from his drawer and wrote a song. 20 minutes later, he brought out his Who-Guitar and decided to play it. With only a tear falling down his eye, he decides to sing the song he wrote.
It's been the longest three days without you
Didn't know where to turn to
Seems somehow I can't forget you
After all that we have been through
Coming, going
Thought I heard a knock
Who's there?
No one
Thinking that I deserve it
And I realized that I really didn't know
If you didn't notice
You mean everything
Quickly, I'm learning
to love again
All I know is
I'm gonna be okay
Thought I couldn't live without you
It's gonna hurt when it heals too
Oh, yeah
It'll all get better in time
Even though I really love you
I'm gonna smile cuzI deserve too
Ooh
It'll all get better in time
I couldn't turn on the TV, no
Without something there to remind me
Wasn't all that easy, no
To just put aside your feelings
If I'm dreaming, don't wanna laugh
Hurt my feelings
But that's the path I believe in
And I know time will heal it
If you didn't notice
Girl, you mean everything
Quickly, I'm learning
Oh, to love again
All I know is
I'm gonna be okay
Though I couldn't live without you
It's gonna hurt when it heals too
Ooh, yeah
It'll all get better in time
Even though I really love you
I'm gonna smile cuz I deserve too
Oh...
It'll all get better in time
Since there's no more you and me
No more you and me
It's time I let you go
So I could be free
And live my life how it should be
And I know, And I know
No matter how hard it is
I'll be fine without you
Yeah, I will
Though I couldn't live without you
It's gonna hurt when I heals too
Oh...
It'll all get better in time
Even though I really love you
I'm gonna smile cuz I deserve too
Yeah, I do
It'll all get better in time
Though I couldn't live without you
It's gonna hurt when it heals too
Yeah...
It'll all get better in time
Even though I really love you
I'm gonna smile cuz I deserve too
It'll all get better in time...
