Song lyrics by Lifehouse.


I keep waiting for the day that I'm with you,

The past has left it's stain / Now I feel the shame / I'll seize the day if you take away the chains of yesterday,

But I keep running / I am running / I keep living for the day that I'm with you / And I am waiting / I am waiting / I keep waiting for the day that I'm with you.

"Alright, let's try it again".

"We've already recorded it seven times already It's good man, Let's go to another song already".

"No!, Just one more time, I want it right and until it is I'm not gonna leave it" Nick shouts towards the mic.

The producers who were sitting back in the mixing booth are shaking their heads and cursing silently, They had already been here for a hour and they've only recorded two songs.

"Alright but it's on your dime Carter" One of the producers spit out.

"Yeah I know" Nick whispers before rocking his head to the playback of the earlier recorded drum track.

" I still feel the same though everything has changed / The pain it cost now I feel lost inside of my own name,

But I keep running / I am running / I keep living for the day that I'm with you, I keep waiting for the day that I'm with you....

Nick shakes hands with his producers before they head out the door mumbling on all the time and money waisted with only recording three songs in a three hour session.

Nick walks back into the mixing booth taking a seat and turning on the recorded tracks, While listening to the first track He grabs a bottle of water from the small fridge that was set up on the floor, He nods his head to the beat, Following the lyrics precisely.

While the second song begins to play Nick begins tapping his fingers on the mixer board, Turning up the volume he barely hears a voice whispering by the entrance way.

"Hey"

Nick turns around and see's a familiar face, One that haunted his dreams from the moment he walked away.

six months but to Nick it had seemed like a lifetime had passed.

Nick sits stunned and swallows spit.

"Are you just gonna sit there and stare?" JC asks

Nick stands up slowly "I can't believe your here"

JC looks down at himself and glazes around the room "Well it looks like I am" He whispers.

Nick stands in front of JC wanting to just fall, fall into JC. Into his embrace, His warm body. The body that he so craved more then life itself.

"I guess.... you.... are" Nick stutters

JC laughs "I'm glad that I can still leave you speechless"

"Oh" Nick smiles "You've done that quite a bit"

"Yes It's been awhile" JC whispers walking closer to Nick.

"I've missed you" Nick shys away moving further to the end of the room.

"If you've missed me then why are you moving away from me?" JC asks.

Nick glazes down "Because I now know what my stupid mistakes did to you, ............I hurt you more then words can undo".

JC nods in agreement "Yes.... I heard you were going back to singing, That's wonderful.... When I first heard that you were leaving music I didn't believe it, I couldn't see you leaving something that you loved so much. That you had so much passion for".

"Yeah well I didn't have anymore passion for it after you left... I guess you took that with you that night you walked away.. ..To tell the truth I didn't really have passion for anything after you left. Just searching everything in my mind trying to figure out what was so bad, What I did that made you leave forced you to go..... and leave me all alone.

It took me awhile and I guess I should have known a long time ago, It was right in my face the entire time. you had even told me so but I just couldn't see, I didn't understand...... I never thought you'd actually leave, I didn't think you could....... I guess I was wrong much like everything else".

JC stands there and listens not moving closer nore moving away just standing and listening.

TBC.
