Oh, and the song is called "You've Changed" and it's by Stephen Kellogg and The Sixers. Go to their myspace to listen to it! And I saw them in concert on Wednesday (13th) & they were amazing :DD!
So go listen to the song, and to David: stop being annoying! =p. No did I do that properly? =P yeah that's much better, lol:).
I walked into the house and I could see it written down
I didn't have to read a word, I could feel it all around
Somehow you escaped my love while I was still asleep
You started like a saint and now you've finished like a thief
And then you've changed. Yeah, yeah. And then you've changed
But I still wear my ring
I walked into my honesty and I saw it to be false
Like an early indication of a failing protocol
I wrote it down on paper and I left it by the phone
Because I wanted you to find it while I was not at home
And I said you've changed. Yeah, yeah. And then you've changed
But you used to be so sweet
And the you've changed. Yeah, yeah. And then you've changed
And now my exit is complete
Cuz' I'm only half of what I wish that I was, I wish that I was
You said it before, yeah, that I talk to much, that I say too much
But you'll never, never tell me what to do again, again
Because you've changed
And I still wear my ring
And then you've changed, and I am still so much the same
I walked into six months and I started at a wrong
Cuz' I am not the guy and you are not the one
I walked into a lover and look what she became
But a rose is still a rose by any other name
But then you've changed, and I still wear my ring
And you've changed, and I am still so much the same
But then you've changed, you used to be so sweet
And then you've changed, and now my exit is complete
And you changed, and you changed, and you changed, and you changed
And you changed, and you changed, and you changed, and you changed
And you changed, and you changed, and you changed, and you changed
And you changed, and you changed, and you changed, and you changed, and you changed…
The constant squeak of the fake horn behind him was giving him a headache. It was barely twenty minutes into the ride, and they still had a long way to go.
Eli was taking Avery to Clare's, which was an hour across town. It had been a few months since they had split. Clare had suspected that Eli was cheating on her, which he wasn't. That was only one of the factors that caused their relationship to go downhill. They also fought a lot, and it was over stupid things. Deep down, they both knew that they should have waited to get married, instead of marrying right out of college. Of course their relationship was fine in high school, and through the majority of their college years, but they just changed.
The wind was picking up and the snow was falling down heavily. Eli really didn't want his son catching a cold, so he tried to wait out the storm. After 15 minutes of no luck, he decided to just go inside. It was a good thing he was staying. He didn't want to seem like a stalker just parked by her house until it stopped snowing.
Clare must have seen his car from the window, because she came outside. She stepped off of the porch and met Eli halfway to the car. She grabbed Avery from Eli while Eli got their things from the trunk. The three of them walked into the house. The living room was occupied by Clare's family-her parents, her brother and sister and their kids. Yet, no familiar Goldsworthy face was seen amongst them. When they arranged this little get-together, Clare told him that he could invite his family members, but it didn't feel right to him, since they weren't still together. She was surprised that he was even staying. He still felt bad to interrupt on this moment, since it was technically Clare's week to have Avery, but she insisted that he spend Christmas with his son.
They all shared their greetings, and then Eli headed up to one of the guest rooms and set his stuff down at the foot of the bed. He took off his larger jacket, and hung it up on the coat rack in the living room, which he hadn't gotten a chance to do when he first arrived. It was really starting to snow heavily, and Eli knew that all of Clare's family would not be staying the night, only her parents and maybe one of her sibling's families. But, if none of them would be able to reach their cars and hit the road, it's going to be one big old family reunion.
They held it off until 11 to see if Clare's family could go home, but no such luck. The sleeping situations didn't take long to sort out.
At around 1:30, after the snow had stopped falling and had started mildly cascading to the ground, Eli went for a "think-break." He liked to come out every often sometime in the middle of the night to think, hence the name "think-break".
But Clare had gotten up to go to the bathroom shortly after, noticing that Eli wasn't in his room. Of course he would question the fact later of exactly why she had checked up on him.
"What are you doing out here, trying to get yourself killed?" She brought a blanket with her.
"N-no. I always come out like this." He said truthfully.
"Well, try not to next time. I don't want you getting sick… So, I guess you're not going in anytime soon." She wrapped the blanket around the both of them, and they began talking.
She wasn't sure if it was the current state that they were in or the fact that it was Christmastime that made the situation seem romantic to her. But, she kissed him. Amidst their fighting, the divorce, and all of that nonsense, she placed her lips on his, definitely feeling a passion that she had never felt before. But it ended just as quickly as it began.
"Oh my God. Oh my God, we're divorced. What am I doing?" She put her hand to her mouth. She got up and literally ran inside.
Eli placed his hand on his lips as well, but cautiously, as if the touch would shock his fingers. He hadn't felt that passionately towards anyone in a long time.
