Hey! Please review! I've had nothing to do all day, so all I've been doing is writing!
I don't own Twilight or Hallelujah or Fall for You, which are like some of my favorite songs. I really love the Kate Voegele version of Hallelujah, btw. But this is what the story is named after!
Chapter 4
Once I got home that day, my mom was pissed. She was pissed that I ran off like that, that I lost my glasses, and that I was stupid enough to get hypothermia. She said I was grounded for a month, but she couldn't keep me inside. I would find someway to get out. She hadn't even gotten me a new pair of glasses, so I walked around blind. I had to memorize every turn, step, and corner in the house.
School had to be the hardest thing. Not only did I walk around blind, I had no friends, no one to guide me through my day, which made making my way through the crowded hallways of school. Most of the time I left late from class, so I wouldn't have to maneuver through the hallways. Then after a week, she finally bought me new glasses, and that night, I was able to sneak out. I grabbed my backpack, climbed out my window, down the tree, and ran through my backyard to the forest, to my favorite tree. I climbed up the tree, and pulled out my iPod, flipping to my favorite song.
"Well I've heard there was a sacred chord
That David played and it pleased the Lord
But you don't really care for music, do you?
Well it goes like this...the fourth, the fifth
The minor fall
And the major lift,
The baffled King composing Hallelujah"
And I sang along.
"Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Well, your faith was strong but you needed proof
You saw her bathing low on the roof
Her beauty in the moonlight overthrew you."
"You have a beautiful voice." I jumped, it was Jacob. But he was right next to me, and I hadn't heard a thing. I blushed.
"Thanks. I never like to sing in front of people. I prefer to be in the background and not draw attention to myself."
"I see. That's why I've never seen you at school."
"Yeah, I just kinda keep to myself."
Awkward silence.
The through my headphones played Secondhand Serenade playing Fall For You.
"Do you wanna listen?" I asked, handing him a headphone.
"Sure."
"The best thing about tonight's that we're not fighting
Could it be that we have been this way before
I know you don't think that I am trying
I know you're wearing thin down to the core
But hold your breath
Because tonight will be the night that I will fall for you
Over again
Don't make me change my mind
Or I won't live to see another day
I swear it's true
Because a girl like you is impossible to find
You're impossible to find"
I rested my head on his shoulder.
"This is not what I intended
I always swore to you I'd never fall apart
You always thought that I was stronger
I may have failed
But I have loved you from the start
Oh
But hold your breath
Because tonight will be the night that I will fall for you
Over again
Don't make me change my mind
Or I won't live to see another day
I swear it's true
Because a girl like you is impossible to find
It's impossible
So breathe in so deep
Breathe me in
I'm yours to keep
And hold onto your words
Cause talk is cheap
And remember me tonight
When you're asleep"
I fell asleep on his warm shoulder.
"Because tonight will be the night that I will fall for you
Over again
Don't make me change my mind
Or I won't live to see another day
I swear it's true
Because a girl like you is impossible to find
Tonight will be the night that I will fall for you
Over again
Don't make me change my mind
Or I won't live to see another day
I swear it's true
Because a girl like you is impossible to find
You're impossible to find"
I woke up. The sun was coming up.
"Ah! Crud! My mom's going to kill me if I'm not in my room! But it'll take me at least a half hour to get to back to my house."
"I'll get you back."
He climbed down the tree and I followed. He helped me down and pulled me onto his back, piggyback style, and ran. He ran with incredible speed, the wind whipped my hair back. I had to burry my face in the crook of his neck to keep me from losing my glasses. Before I knew it, we were at my house.
"Thanks for helping me out Jacob."
"No problem. I'll see you at school." And he ran off into the forest.
I climbed up the tree and through my window. My mom was sitting in my room. Crap.
