You're My Best Friend Chapter 2, a glee fanfic

AN: You guys are great! Seriously? It hasn't even been up for even 24 hours and already has over 80 hits! This is part of my motivation as to getting this out so fast. I can't promise that they will all come out this fast because I already had this one over half written last night. Anyways, here you go Chapter 2!

The worst part of having a last name like Covington is how close to the beginning of the alphabet it is when it comes to presenting projects. This time is different though, I've got my song and I'm ready to let out everything I'm feeling about my love for Jeff.

There were still a few people that had to go before me, but I tuned them out for the most part, my mind racing in anticipation. In fact I was so entangled in my own thoughts that I jumped a little when the teacher called my name signifying my turn to perform.

Well, here goes nothing. I had downloaded a simple instrumental version of my song online and I listened carefully to the first chord to find my starting note as I began to sing.

Take time to realize,
That your warmth is
Crashing down on in.
Take time to realize,
That I am on your side
Didn't I, Didn't I tell you.

I took a deep quick breath before continuing on, feeling every emotion and meaning every word that I say.

But I can't spell it out for you,
No it's never gonna be that simple
No I can't spell it out for you

It's true, I don't have it in me to flat out tell Jeff how I feel; I'm not brave like that. I risk a look at Jeff before I start into the chorus. His face looks blank, like he's really trying to think hard about something. I have to make sure that I look away before I start singing in order to keep my voice and face from betraying me.

If you just realize what I just realized,
Then we'd be perfect for each other
And will never find another
Just realize what I just realized
We'd never have to wonder if
We missed out on each other now.

I want him to know how I feel. Even more than I want him to know, I want him to feel the same way. I still don't know if he's gay or not but I sure wish I did.

Take time to realize
Oh-oh I'm on your side
Didn't I, didn't I tell you.
Take time to realize
This all can pass you by

Jeff may be book smart but when it comes to emotions and that sort of thing he really can be clueless. I hope if he is catching my glances in his direction the meaning isn't slipping past him.

But I can't spell it out for you,
No it's never gonna be that simple
No I can't spell it out for you.

That's when the adrenaline sunk in and the courage hit me like a ton of bricks. I can do this, I can tell him how I really feel. He can know. I stared right at him as I finished off the final verse, chorus and tag. His eyes met mine and locked for the rest of the song. Now I wasn't just singing a song about what I felt, I was singing it to the person that I felt it for.

It's not the same
No it's never the same
If you don't feel it to.
If you meet me half way
If you would meet me half way.
It could be the same for you.

Gosh I hope he feels the same way… I don't know how this is going to work out if he can't meet me on the way there. On the way to being happy together.

If you just realize what I just realized
Then we'd be perfect for each other
And we'll never find another
Just realize what I just realized
We'd never have to wonder
Just realize what I just realized

If you just realize what I just realized

Missed out on each other now
Missed out on each other now

Realize

Realize

I close my eyes and take a deep breath as I silently plead with no one in particular, please let him realize that this song was about him. Let him realize how much I love him.

The class clapped politely, but I only care about one reaction and the face I focus on looks confused. How can he be confused? I sang right to him. Like I said, Jeff may be book smart, but emotion smart? Yeah right. Well, I guess I blew it; this is never going to work out.
