Chapter 4
EPOV
I pulled my phone out of my pocket as I stepped into the hallway, "Hey dad it's Eli," I said, "Eli, my boy, what may I help you with," Bullfrog said horsely, "I met this amazing girl," I replied, "Eli, I don't have time to talk to you about your love life," my dad sighed, "No, she's an amazing singer, you have to hear her, her name is Clare Edwards," I clarified, "The designer's daughter, I didn't know she could sing," he was shocked, "Yes, she just fired her producer, and she needs someone that will let her do her own music," I said, "Well, can you bring me her demo?" he asked, "Actually, I can do something better, I'm at her house right now, I can bring her over," I smirked, "Alright, Cece and I will be waiting for you.
I told Clare the news and she was beaming. She changed out of the clothes she had been wearing, into 'clothes that were more her' as she said and she walked out of her closet in black skinny jeans and a dark green, cropped hoodie. She threw some converse on and we went out to Morty, "You drive that thing?" Alli asked, "Yup, that's Morty," I said with a proud smile. She got in the back and stepped on something, "Careful, you don't want to step on any dead bodies," I smirked. She jumped out of the car so fast, "I was kidding," I tried to say, "I don't care, there is no way I'm sitting back there," she said folding her arms. Clare rolled her eyes and climbed to the back, "Dude, your car is a disaster," Clare said, finally situating herself, laying down in the back seat, "Don't say that, you'll hurt Morty's feelings," I said in mock hurt. We drove up to a light that suddenly turned red, and I pressed down on the break, hard enough to send Clare toppling to the car floor, "A little warning might be nice," she grunted, "Hey Clare, we stopped," I said, I saw her flick me of through the rear view mirror.
We arrived at my parents house/ studio and we walked in. "Hello, I am Bullfrog Goldsworthy, Eli's father, and this is Cece, my lovely wife," Bullfrog introduced, Clare shook his hand, introducing Alli and herself. Bullfrog walked her into the recording room and he asked her to sing him a song.
CPOV
I asked Bullfrog for a piano, which he provided for me and I stopped to think of a song to preform for him... I mean this was Bullfrog Goldsworty; I couldn't just play anything. I thought of a perfect song and I began to play it. It was a song to my father, after he left me and my mom, a year after Darcy died; he still kept in touch, but it just wasn't the same:
I wait for the postman to bring me a letter
I wait for the good Lord to make me feel better
And I carry the weight of the world on my shoulders
A family in crisis that only grows older
Why'd you have to go
Why'd you have to go
Why'd you have to go
Daughter to father, daughter to father
I am broken but I am hoping
Daughter to father, daughter to father
I am crying, a part of me is dying and
These are, these are
The confessions of a broken heart
And I wear all your old clothes; your polo sweater
I dream of another you the one who would never, never
Leave me alone to pick up the pieces
A daddy to hold me, that's what I needed
So why'd you have to go
Why'd you have to go
Why'd you have to go
Daughter to father, daughter to father
I don't know you, but I still want to
Daughter to father, daughter to father
Tell me the truth, did you ever love me?
Cause these are, these are
The confessions of a broken heart, of a broken heart
I love you
I love you
I love you
I...I love you
Daughter to father, daughter to father
I don't know you, but I still want to
Daughter to father, daughter to father
Tell me the truth, did you ever love me?
Did you ever love me?
These are
The confessions of a broken heart, oh yea
And I wait for the postman to bring me a letter...
"Wow, that's deep," I heard Bullfrog say through the mic, I nodded. He asked me to play another song, and this time it wasn't as hard to think of a song
I don't wanna be the girl who laughs the loudest
Or the girl who never wants to be alone
I don't wanna be that call at 4 o'clock in the morning
'Cos I'm the only one you know in the world that won't be home
The sun is blinding
I stayed up again
I am finding
That's not the way I want my story to end
I'm safe
Up high
Nothing can touch me
But why do I feel this party's over?
No pain
Inside
You're like protection
How do I feel this good sober?
I don't wanna be the girl who has to fill the silence
Crying scares me cause it screams the truth
Please don't tell me that we had that conversation
I won't remember, save your breath, 'cos what's the use?
The night is calling?
And it whispers to me softly come and play
I am falling
And If I let myself go I'm the only one to blame
I'm safe
Up high
Nothing can touch me
But why do I feel this party's over?
No pain
Inside
You're like perfection
How do I feel this good sober?
I'm coming down, coming down, coming down
Spinning 'round, spinning 'round, spinning 'round
Looking for myself
Sober
When it's good, then it's good, it's so good till it goes bad
Till you're trying to find the you that you once had
I have heard myself cry, never again
Broken down in agony just tryna find a friend
I'm safe
Up high
Nothing can touch me
But why do I feel this party's over?
No pain
Inside
You're like perfection
How do I feel this good sober
No pain
Inside
Nothing can touch me
But why do I feel this party's over?
No pain
Inside
You're like perfection
How do I feel this good sober?
Will I ever feel this good sober?
Tell me, no no no no no pain
How do i feel this good sober?
EPOV
Wow, she can really belt it, can't she? Bullfrog and Cece had nothing but good things to say about her, and Alli just sat there with a smug look on her face. Clare removed the headphones and walked out of the sound booth, "Clare, you are amazing, I would be honered if I could produce you," Bullfrog said, Clare smiled, "Remember Clare, you're also out a manager," Alli said with a small frown, "That happens to be my specialty," Cece spoke up. Clare just smiled. They scheduled to meet tomorrow with a band so Clare could record her music with a band. We sat in my old room for a while. We were talking about something, and we ended up with our face inches apart. She leaned in and I leaned back, "I thought..." she began, "What, no, are you crazy?" I asked, "Excuse me?" she asked, tears shone in her eyes and I instantly regretted what I had said. She got up and ran through the door, just as Alli had opened it. She glared at me before following her best friend in her ridiculous heels. I couldn't believe that I had just done that, I really liked her, but thoughts of Julia stopped me.
Hey, I know there are parts of this story that need work like when I posted how Julia died twice, but right now I am just trying to move foward with this story, because this one I am making up as I go, and don't have any written down in a notebook like all of my other stories, so I will be updating this one more often than my other ones because it is more convenient, and coming up shortly I should have more time for the other stories, so until then stay tuned? Sorry I don't want to be the type of author that demands people to review or no chapter, it seems wrong. Also, I will start posting what songs I use in the chapter as an A/N, so what we've missed: Chapter 1
Chapter 2 Untitled- Simple Plan
Chapter 3 Hurt- Christina Aguilera
Chapter 4 Confessions of a Broken Heart (Daughter to Father)- Lindsay Lohan, Sober- Pink
