A/N I know I haven't updated my other story. But this idea has been going through my mind for weeks, and I had to post it.
Hey There Delilah
"Hey! Haley!"
Haley turned around, stopping halfway through her dormitory's hallway. She smiled at her roommate Jessica, who was running towards her holding a package. "Hey Jess!"
"This came for you. It's from Hollywood..." She stated cocking her eyebrow and flashing an askew smirk.
"Oh my God!" Haley exclaimed, grabbing the parcel and tearing it open. "It's a---cassette." Her face twisted into confusion as she held it in her hands.
Jess's eyes lit up. "I wonder what's on it…"
Haley turned around and walked over to their room door. "Don't you have class?" She asked unlocking it and stepping inside.
Haley paced up and down her dorm, tapping the tape against the palm of her hand. She paused and swiftly walked over to the stereo and placed the tape in it. "This better be good, Jack." She whispered to herself as she began pacing again.
"Hey Hales."
Her heart nearly stopped as his deep voice filled the room. It had been over six months since she heard from Jack; she assumed he was really busy in the studio with his band that had almost made it big.
"Just breathe, Hales." He said with a laugh. "I know I've been a…"
"Ass?" Haley inquired, sitting on the couch.
"…ass for not calling, but it's been so---insane."
"Of course it has…" She alleged bitterly.
"But believe me when I say, that you've been on my mind every second, of every day, for the past six months. You have no clue how bad I want to be there with you right now; holding you in my arms, kissing you…so, I wrote this song for you. To remind you that no matter where I am, I'm always with you…always and forever."
Haley wrapped her arms around herself, as she closed her eyes, imaging that Jack was there playing the song for her at that moment.
"Hey there Delilah Hey there Delilah Oh it's what you do to me Hey there Delilah Hey there Delilah Oh it's what you do to me A thousand miles seems pretty far Hey there Delilah Oh it's what you do to me
What's it like in New York City?
I'm a thousand miles away
But girl tonight you look so pretty
Yes you do
Time Square can't shine as bright as you
I swear it's true
Don't you worry about the distance
I'm right there if you get lonely
Give this song another listen
Close your eyes
Listen to my voice it's my disguise
I'm by your side
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
What you do to me
I know times are getting hard
But just believe me girl
Someday I'll pay the bills with this guitar
We'll have it good
We'll have the life we knew we would
My word is good
I've got so much left to say
If every simple song I wrote to you
Would take your breath away
I'd write it all
Even more in love with me you'd fall
We'd have it all
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
But they've got planes and trains and cars
I'd walk to you if I had no other way
Our friends would all make fun of us
and we'll just laugh along because we know
That none of them have felt this way
Delilah I can promise you
That by the time we get through
The world will never ever be the same
And you're to blame
You be good and don't you miss me
Two more years and you'll be done with school
And I'll be making history like I do
You know it's all because of you
We can do whatever we want to
Hey there Delilah here's to you
This ones for you
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
What you do to me."
"I love you Haley."
Haley opened her eyes, "I love you, Jack." She whispered as she dabbed her tears away with a tissue. She reached into her pocket and pulled out her cell phone. She quickly dialed his number and placed the phone to her ear.
"Hey, it's Jack…'
"Jack! I miss you so----"
"I'm not here right now, so leave a message and I'll call you back. Later."
Haley's jaw dropped and she slowly pulled the phone away from her ear. "Christ, Jack." She said as she hung up the cell phone. She stood up and just before she got to her bed there was a knock on the door. Sniffling, Haley walked over, wiped away one more tear and opened it.
"Hey there, Delilah." The sonorous voice said.
"Jack?" Haley smiled as she jumped up and wrapped her arms around his neck, pulling his body close to hers. "I love you!"
He chuckled. "I love you too Hales," he replied as they pulled apart. "That's all I get?" He asked frowning.
Haley shook her head. "Oh no…what comes next requires us to be horizontal." She stated as Jack kicked the door closed, and pressed his lips against hers.
"I was hoping you'd say that…" Jack whispered as his hands moved all along her body.
"Jack?" Haley began as he left a trail of kisses down her neck. "One more thing…"
Jack grinned devilishly as they sat on her divan. "What is it baby?" He asked running his fingers through her chocolate brown hair.
She scrunched up her nose in disgust and said, "Delilah?!"
A/N I'm glad I got that out of my system. Now I can write the next chapter for "Mend My Shattered Soul".
Review Please!!
