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...
