Chapter 4
Suddenly the music stopped sending the room into stunned silence.
Sam sat listening to her hesitation being spelled out by No Doubt's Don't speak. And he was not going to listen to it anymore. He stood up made his way over to the jukebox and pulled the plug out the wall, effectively silencing it.
"Whoa" Traci said astonished by his actions.
"I don't think he appreciated that one" Gail said with a smirk as she saw Sam plug the jukebox back in, toss in some coins and make his way back to his seat without looking their way.
We'll do it all
Everything
On our own
We don't need
Anything Or anyone
If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me and just forget the world?
I don't quite know
How to say
How I feel
Those three words
Are said too much
They're not enough
If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me and just forget the world?
Forget what we're told
Before we get too old
Show me a garden that's bursting into life
Let's waste time
Chasing cars
Around our heads
I need your grace
To remind me
To find my own
If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me and just forget the world?
Forget what we're told
Before we get too old
Show me a garden that's bursting into life
All that I am
All that I ever was
Is here in your perfect eyes, they're all I can see
I don't know where
Confused about how as well
Just know that these things will never change for us at all
If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me and just forget the world?
Chasing Cars by Snow Patrol was one of her favorite songs and she softly sang to the words as they played.
"You, had better go and play a better song than the last one! What were you thinking? Go fix it and say what it is you want to say" Gail huffed before leaving the table to use the bathroom.
After Sam's last song choice maybe Gail was right. Maybe she should just get it all out there.
What did she have to loose?
With a song in mind she approached the jukebox cautiously as if it would disagree with her. With shaking hands she tossed in her coins before she made her way to the bathroom as the music began to play.
This time, this place
Misused, mistakes
Too long, too late
Who was I to make you wait
Just one chance
Just one breath
Just in case there's just one left
'Cause you know,
You know, you know
That I love you
I have loved you all along
And I miss you
Been far away for far too long
I keep dreaming you'll be with me
And you'll never go
Stop breathing if
I don't see you anymore
On my knees, I'll ask for one
Last chance for one last dance
Cause with you, I'd withstand
All of hell to hold your hand
I'd give it all
I'd give for us
Give anything but I won't give up
'Cause you know,
You know, you know
That I love you
I have loved you all along
And I miss you
Been far away for far too long
I keep dreaming you'll be with me
And you'll never go
Stop breathing if
I don't see you anymore
So far away
Been far away for far too long
So far away
Been far away for far too long
But you know, you know, you know
I wanted
I wanted you to stay
'Cause I needed
I need to hear you say
That I love you
I have loved you all along
And I forgive you
For being away for far too long
So keep breathing
'Cause I'm not leaving you anymore
Hold on to me and
Never let me go
Sam nearly fell off his chair when he heard the song start.
It was one he often listened to and it always made him think of Andy. When he spun around he saw Traci staring at him with wide eyes at what she was hearing. She shrugged before motioning towards the bathrooms.
Sam turned his line of view to Callaghan just to make sure he hadn't followed her again.
Sam couldn't help the fully dimpled grin his face wore of its own accord. He really couldn't believe his ears either.
Andy took her seat back without looking anywhere except the floor then the table then her beer bottle.
"Ok I think I kinda overdid it on that one" she mumbled.
"Oh I don't know about that, but I do know that the smile Swaerk has on his face now wouldn't come off unless the world stopped turning" Traci said drawing Andy to look over at Sam who then looked away before ordering what looked like another double before grabbing some coins and making his way to play an answer to Andy's sudden all out there choice in music.
"Oh God that was too much! What if he plays me don't speak now?" Andy winced at the thought as she lay her head back down on the table.
"Oh I don't know about that..." Traci said as the familiar tones of Lifehouse's Hanging by a moment began.
Desperate for changing
Starving for truth I'm closer to where I started
Chasing after you
I'm falling even more in love with you
Letting go of all I've held onto
I'm standing here until you make me move
I'm hanging by a moment here with you
Forgetting all I'm lacking
Completely incomplete
I'll take your invitation
You take all of me now...
I'm falling even more in love with you
Letting go of all I've held onto
I'm standing here until you make me move
I'm hanging by a moment here with you
I'm living for the only thing I know
I'm running and not quite sure where to go
And I don't know what I'm diving into
Just hanging by a moment here with you
There's nothing else to lose
There's nothing else to find
There's nothing in the world
That can change my mind
There is nothing else
There is nothing else
There is nothing else
Desperate for changing
Starving for truth
I'm closer to where I started
Chasing after you...
I'm falling even more in love with you
Letting go of all I've held onto
I'm standing here until you make me move
I'm hanging by a moment here with you
I'm living for the only thing I know
I'm running and not quite sure where to go
And I don't know what I'm diving into
Just hanging by a moment here with you
Just hanging by a moment (here with you)
Hanging by a moment (here with you)
Hanging by a moment here with you
Andy listened to the words and had the sudden urge to flee.
Now that it was all out there and couldn't be taken back she didn't know which way to run. Or to stay maybe she should just stay for once.
She kept her head down through the entire song although she could feel Sam watching her.
When the song was done Andy still kept her head firmly resting on the table making no attempt to play an answer in return to his.
Where was this going anyway?
Was this even going anywhere?
Her mind raced with questions as she did what she did best- overthought it!
Waiting for Andy's response Sam saw her head still down on the table as he felt her overthinking it from across the room.
Peck and Nash were talking with Andy just shaking her head no to everything they said.
Sam got up and dropped a handful of coins in the jukebox before making his selections and reclaiming his chair.
Again without a further look their way.
Maybe the next few would settle her nerves.
