Chapter 2
Scared To Admit The Feeling Inside
A week after Amita's been back from India and she and Charlie are in Charlie's office at CalSci kissing passionately. Clementine is in her room lying on her bed staring up at the ceiling when her Aunt Tessa walks in.
"What's the matter, baby?" Aunt Tessa asked.
"I miss mom, Aunt Tessa." Clementine answered.
"I know you do. Your father, sister and I miss her too." Aunt Tessa replied.
"But that's not all Aunt Tessa." Clementine said.
"What do you mean?" Aunt Tessa asked.
"I mean that I'm in love with one of the FBI Agents." Clementine answered.
"Which one is it?" Aunt Tessa asked.
"It's Colby Granger." Clementine answered.
"I had a feeling that it was him that you were in love with." Aunt Tessa replied.
"How did you know?" Clementine asked.
"Well it's pretty obvious that you are in love with him, plus I know my neice." Aunt Tessa answered.
"Well that's true." Clementine replied.
"Does he know that you'll in love with him?" Aunt Tessa asked.
"No he doesn't know at all." Clementine answered.
Just then her dad Charles Mefford walks in.
"Who doesn't know at all?" Charles asked.
"Oh well the FBI Agent Colby Granger doesn't know that I'm in love with him." Clementine answered.
"Honey, I think that you will be better off with Colby than you were with Charlie." Charles replied.
"Thanks dad. I completely agree with you on that." Clementine said.
"Why don't you go down to the FBI and ask them about her mother?" Charles asked.
"Dad, I can't go down there." Clementine answered.
"Why can't you go down there?" Charles asked.
"I can't because I know that Colby is going to be there and everytime I see him I just want to kiss him but if I do than I'll blow my secret to him. So I can't go down there." Clementine answered.
"What if Tessa and I go with you?" Charles asked.
"I guess than I could go down there." Clementine answered.
"That's my girl." Charles replied.
An hour later Clementine, her Aunt Tessa and her dad are in the FBI building. Don spots them and goes over to them.
"What are you three doing here?" Don asked.
"I'm here to find out more about my mom, Don. My dad and my Aunt Tessa came with me because I didn't want to come alone." Clementine answered.
"Well all I can say is that we aren't having much luck finding her." Don replied.
That made Clementine upset. Don takes them to where Megan, David, Charlie, Larry, Amita and Colby are at.
"What's wrong with Clementine?" Colby asked.
"She misses her mom." Don answered.
Just then Clementine started singing the song "I Miss You."
Sha la la la la, sha la la la la
You used to call me your angel
Said I was sent straight down from heaven
You'd hold me close in your arms
I loved the way you felt so strong
I never wanted you to leave
I wanted you to stay here holdin' me
I miss you, I miss your smile
And I still shed a tear every once in a while
And even though it's different now
You're still here somehow
My heart won't let you go
And I need you to know
I miss you
Sha la la la la
I miss you
You used to call me your dreamer
And now I'm livin' out my dream
Oh how I wish you could see
Everything that's happenin' for me
I'm thinking back on the past
It's true that time is flying by too fast
I miss you, I miss your smile
And I still shed a tear every once in a while
And even though it's different now
You're still here somehow
My heart won't let you go
And I need you to know
I miss you
Sha la la la la
I miss you
I know you're in a better place yeah
But I wish that I could see your face, oh
I know you're where you need to be
Even though it's not here with me
I miss you, I miss your smile
And I still shed a tear every once in a while
And even though it's different now
You're still here somehow
My heart won't let you go
And I need you to know
I miss you
Sha la la la la
I miss you, I miss your smile
And I still shed a tear every once in a while
And even though it's different now
You're still here somehow
My heart won't let you go
And I need you to know
I miss you
Sha la la la la
I miss you
I miss you.
"Did you sing that because you miss your mom?" Don asked.
"Yes Don I did sing that because I miss my mom." Clementine answered.
"She has a beautiful sweet singing voice." Colby said thinking to himself.
A few minutes later Clementine is talking to Don and David alone.
"So why did you want to talk to us?" Don asked.
"I just wanted to tell you guys something." Clementine answered.
"What did you want to tell us?" David asked.
"Well, I'm in love with Colby." Clementine answered.
"Colby Granger?" Don and David asked at the same time.
"Yes, Colby Granger." Clementine answered.
"Why?" Don asked.
"How long have you been in love with him?" David asked.
"Well I've been in love with him for 6 years now. Yes 6 years ago today is when I fell in love with Colby but I couldn't do anything because it was the day that Charlie and I got married." Clementine answered.
"Wow." Don replied.
"The reason why I'm in love with him is because lately he has been so sweet to me, he has been there for me when I found out that my mom was missing and also the day I told you about Charlie cheating on me with Amita. Also he protected me when Charlie tried to hit me and that made me fall in love with him even more than I was before." Clementine said.
"Does he know that you'll in love with him?" David asked.
"No he doesn't know at all." Clementine answered.
"Why not?" Don asked.
"I've been too afraid to tell him." Clementine answered.
"Well sooner or later you are going to have to tell him." Don replied.
"I know Don, I know." Clementine said.
"So when are you going to tell him?" David asked.
"I'm not sure about that yet." Clementine answered.
Later that day Clementine goes to CalSci and Larry and Charlie see her and walk up to her.
"What are you doing here?" Charlie asked.
"I came here to tell the two of you something." Clementine answered.
"What is it?" Larry asked.
"I just wanted to tell you that I'm in love with one of the FBI Agents." Clementine answered.
"It's not my brother Don, is it?" Charlie asked.
"No, Charlie, it's not Don." Clementine answered.
"Then who is it?" Larry asked.
"It's Colby." Clementine answered.
"How long have you been in love with him?" Charlie asked.
"For awhile now." Clementine answered.
Later that day she is with all the FBI Agents and she is going to sing another song to them.
"Everyone I would like to sing a song right now." Clementine said.
"What's the song called?" Colby asked.
"It's called "Rockstar"." Clementine answered.
Now Clementine is singing "Rockstar."
Yeah oh oh oh oh oh oh yeah
Woo!
Sometimes I walk a little faster
In the school hallway
Just to get next to you
Some days I spend a little extra time
In the morning
Just to impress you
Guess you don't notice
Guess you don't need this
Sad you're not seein' what you're missin'
On the outside shyin' away
On the inside dyin' to say
I'm unusual
Not so typical
Way too smart to be waiting around
Tai chi practicing
Snowboard champion
I could fix the flat on your car
I might even be a rock star
I might even be a rockstar!
Sometimes I wish when the phone rings
That it would be you
Saying "Let's hang out"
Then you confess
That there's something special between us
Why don't we find out
You don't even know me
Guess you don't need me
Why you're not seein'
What you're missin'
On the outside shyin' away
On the inside dyin' to say
Woo!
I'm unusual
Not so typical
Way too smart to be waiting around
Tai chi practicing
Snowboard champion
I could fix the flat on your car
I might even be a rock star
If you only knew the real me
I might even be a rock star
I'm telling you that we are meant to be
Now wouldn't it be nice if you could see
That I really am a rock star
Yeah yeah
Woo!
Yeah, I really am a rockstar
Hey hey hey
Ha, a rockstar
I'm unusual
Not so typical
Way too smart to be waiting around
Tai chi practicing
Snowboard champion
I could fix the flat on your car
Rockin' it wherever we are
Yeah yeah
Cause I really am a rockstar
Yeah yeah
Cause I really am a rockstar
I am a rockstar
Whoa uh oh
Yeah
Goodnight everybody!
"So were you singing that song to any one in particular?" Colby asked.
"Yes I was, but I can't say who right now." Clementine answered.
"Why not?" Colby asked.
"That my dear Colby is a special secret surprise." Clementine answered.
Later that night Colby is in his bed dreaming about Clementine. Clementine is in her bed dreaming about Colby. Megan is in her bed dreaming about Larry. Larry is in his office asleep and dreaming about Megan.
