Chapter 7

After our hilarious movie marathon it was time to head over to Jack and Ana's place for dinner. Will and I grabbed our coats and headed on out.

We jumped in the car, "Is it okay if we listen to the iPod?" Will asked sweetly.

"Of course!"

"Good," he said plugging it in and searching through the playlist, "Let's see… what should we listen to?"

"Anything's okay with me."

"Same here so I'll put it on shuffle."

"Sounds like a plan," I smiled as he put it on shuffle and he started the car. Jack and Ana lived around twenty or so minutes away in La Jolla.

A lot of times when Will and I would get stuck in car, like we were at the moment, we would start singing along with the songs on the iPod laughing our butts off! Hey, it was fun and it passed time! Plus, it was hilarious seeing Will try to sing like the singers in the song while driving… entertainment at it's greatest.

"Give it away now! Give it away now! Give it away now!" Will and I sang as the song ended. I was literally dying of laughter! I must say, Will pretending to be in The Red Hot Chili Peppers was easily one of my favorites.

"That… was… hilarious!"

"Why thank you," he smiled.

"Your welcome love."

"Oh I've got it!"

"What?"

"You'll see…" he said picking up the iPod. We were stopped at a stop light so he was able to search through the playlist to find what he was looking for, "Ah-hah!"

"Oh dear… should I be scared?" I said sarcastically.

"No, but prepare for some awesome singing!" He said as the light turned green. The song started. I listened intently trying to figure out what it was; suddenly I recognized it as Will started singing.

Will started singing, "If I should stay, I would only be in your w—ay.

"Oh my god!" I laughed.

Will continued, "So I'll go, but I know, I'll think of you every step of the wa—y. And I will always love you. I will always love you. You, my darling you. Come on Izzy you know you wanna!"

I shook my head laughing as he continued.

He continued singing away, "Bittersweet memories, that is all I'm taking with me. So, goodbye, please, don't cry. We both know I'm not what you, you need.

We both know I'm not what you, you need. And I— will always love—' you. I will always love you—."

I was dying! Literally, I was waiting for a heart attack from laughing so hard, especially from those last few notes.

"You are irreplaceable!" I laughed.

"I'll take that as a compliment!"

"But you ain't no Whitney Houston!" I laughed.

"And you ain't no Kevin Costner! Now excuse me as I finish my solo! Because SOMEONE won't sing with me!"

I hope life treats you kind. And I hope you have all you've dreamed of. And I wish to you, joy and happiness. But above all this, I wish you love… And I— will always love you—. I will al—ways love you—. I will al—ways love you—. I will always love you—–. I will always love you—-. I, I will always love you. You, darling, I love you.

Ooh, I'll always, I'll always love you."

"Encore! Encore!" I laughed.

"Alrighty than!" he said reaching for the iPod.

"NO!" I laughed grabbing his hand, "Figure of speech Hun, figure of speech."

"Oh," he said pretending to be offended, "I see how it is. I think I can take of hint!"

"Ri—gh—t…cough-diva-cough."

"What was that?"

"Oh nothing," I laughed.

"If anyone's the diva in this relationship, it's you love, no offence."

"None taken thank you very much."

"But since you do not appreciate my musical talents I am going on strike," he said sarcastically.

"Really? Then I guess you won't sing?"

"Exactly!" he laughed.

"You wont sing anything?"

"Nothing. Nada. Nilch."

"We'll see about that one!" I evilly laughed picking up the iPod and searching for the one song I knew he couldn't resist! Hah, I found it! The music started, Will raised an eyebrow, he knew what it was…

I started, "Just a small town girl, livin' in a lonely world. She took the midnight train goin' anywhere. Just a city boy, born and raised in South Detroit. He took the midnight train goin' anywhere."

"I know you wanna!" I laughed.

He shook his head.

"Then I'll just keep singing…. A singer in a smoky room. A smell of wine and cheap perfume. For a smile they can share the night, it goes on and on and on and on. Strangers waiting, up and down the boulevard, their shadows searching in the night. Streetlight people, living just to find emotion. Hiding, somewhere in the nig—ht."

I was breaking him; I could see him trying not to move his lips.

"Join in whenever you'd like!" I laughed.

"I'll never surrender!" He said sarcastically.

"Hmmmm, get out the white flag baby!... Working hard to get my fill, everybody wants a thrill. Payin' anything to roll the dice, just one more time. Some will win, some will lose, some were born to sing the blues. Oh, the movie never ends; it goes on and on and on and on! Strangers waiting, up and down the boulevard. Their shadows searching in the night. Streetlight people, living just to find emotion. Hiding, somewhere in the nig—ht!"

Finally Will joined in and we both sang, "Don't stop believin'! Hold on to the feelin'! Streetlight people! Don't stop believin'! Hold o—n! Streetlight people! Don't stop believin'! Hold on to the feelin'! Streetlight people!"

We both burst out laughing uncontrollably.

"No… THAT… was classic!" Will laughed.

"Told you I could break you!"

"That's not fair! Journey doesn't count! Not singing along to Journey is like not saying standing in court when the judge comes in! You better have one freakin' good excuse! Especially when it's Don't Stop Believin'!"

"Hey, I've got my song and you got yours buddy," I laughed, "My little sensitive man."

He smirked. "You know you like it… and hey! whoa, whoa, whoa. Whitney Houston is one of the greatest singers of all time! I grew up with my mom loving her in the 80's and all."

"Plus, it's your favorite movie," I added.

"Do not dis The Bodyguard! It's a cinematic masterpiece. And I know you love it too," he said defensively.

"Yes but I didn't cry every time I thought Kevin Costner or Whitney was gonna die. What was it again? Oh yeah," I started mocking what Will always said during the movie, "No! Don't go into the forest! The bad guy's out there! Kevin can't die this early!"

"I didn't say that, you did!" he laughed.

"No I didn't!"

"Yes you did!"

"No I didn't"

"Yes you did!"

"No I didn't!"

"Yes you… are we really arguing about this?" he laughed.

"I guess so," I laughed backed.

"Hey we're finally here!" He exclaimed.

"Awww, but you didn't get to finish the soundtrack!" I teased undoing my seatbelt.

"The ride home love, the ride home," he winked.

I rolled my eyes as we parked and got out and headed to the door of Jack and Ana's little house.
