LOVE ME

Friday, October 28

I was nervous as I stood next to the stage watching the others on stage. The school had decided to put on a Hallowe'en talent contest with the winner getting to be principal for an entire day whilst Mr. Fisher would have to take their place in classes. That's not what I cared about though; Miley was in the audience. That was the whole reason I'd signed up, because Miley said she was going to watch it. I'd spent the last three weeks trying to write a song for her, to impress her. Shane had as well, but I couldn't hold it against him, there were definately downsides to best friends both being in love with the same girl.

"Thank-you, Miss Addison." Mister Fisher said and the senior girl on stage took several over exagerated bows as the crowd clapped half-heartedly. "And now, from the Freshman class; Justin Grey!" There was more half-hearted applause as I grabbed my guitar and walked up. Miley was sitting in the third row, right in the middle. I looked at her and almost felt like throwing up because of my nerves. I gulped and sat down on the stool, readjusting the microphone.

"Uh, hi." I said nervously, poising my guitar to play. "I, uh... I wrote this song for someone special in the crowd... You know who you are." I grinned a little, my eyes still on Miley and she blushed. "It's called 'Love Me'." I closed my eyes and started playing. God, I hope I didn't make a fool of myself in front of Miley.

My friends say I'm fool to think that you're the one for me
I guess I'm just a sucker for love
'Cause, honestly, the truth is that you know I'm never leavin'
You're my Angel sent from above

Baby, you could do no wrong
My money is yours, give you little more
Because I love you
Love you
With me, Girl, is where you belong
Just stay right here
I promise, my dear, put no-one above you
Above you

Oh... I cooed into the microphone and chanced a glance at Miley, her jaw was dropped open and she was staring at me with wide eyes. I hoped it was good. She caught me looking and flashed a little smile, making me relax a fraction.

Love me, love me, say that you love me
Fool me, fool me, oh how you do me
Kiss me, kiss me, say that you miss me
Tell me what I want to hear
Tell me you love me

Love me, love me, say that you love me
Fool me, fool me, oh how you do me
Kiss me, kiss me, say that you miss me
Tell me what I want to hear
Tell me you love me
... People had started clapping along with my guitar. Even Miley and her friends.

People try to tell me, but I refuse to listen
'Cause they don't get to spend time with you
A minute with you is worth more than a thousand days with your love
Oh, your love, oh

Baby, you could do no wrong
My money is yours, give you little more
Because I love you
Love you
With me, Girl, is where you belong
Just stay right here
I promise, my dear, put no-one above you
Above you

Love me, love me, say that you love me
Fool me, fool me, oh how you do me
Kiss me, kiss me, say that you miss me
Tell me what I want to hear
Tell me you love me

Love me, love me, say that you love me
Fool me, fool me, oh how you do me
Kiss me, kiss me, say that you miss me
Tell me what I want to hear
Tell me you love me
... I stopped playing for the next bit and grabbed the microphone, pulling it closer as I reluctantly tore my eyes from Miley and closed them, picturing her in the darkness of my mind.

My heart is blind, but I don't care
'Cause when I'm with you, everything has disappeared
And everytime I hold you near
I never wanna let you go, oh
... I grabbed my guitar again and picked up right where I left off, looking right at Miley again. She was smiling a little and her eyes were closed as she listened to me play.

Love me, love me, say that you love me
Fool me, fool me, oh how you do me
Kiss me, kiss me, say that you miss me
Tell me what I want to hear
Tell me you love me

Love me, love me, say that you love me
Fool me, fool me, oh how you do me
Kiss me, kiss me, say that you miss me
Tell me what I want to hear
Tell me you love me
... I smiled and eaned forward, I'd stopped playing and I cooed softly into the microphone for everyone to hear even though it was meant only for Miley. "Because I love you..." I sighed and stood up, barely hearing the applause and cheering from the crowd.

"Justin Grey, everybody!" Mister Fisher came back out and I flashed a smile at Miley before leaving the stage as he anounced the next person.

"You were great!" I jumped and turned to see Miley smiling shyly as I put my guitar in its case.

"Thanks." I grinned and brushed some hair out of my eyes.

"I won't tell you I love you, though." Miley said softly and I frowned, looking down as my heart got heavy. "I won't lead you on like that." I nodded mutely and tried to busy myself with my guitar case. "Justin." Miley whispered and I looked up, I hoped she wouldn't see the sadness in them. Miley leaned forward and a second later I felt her lips on mine. It was pure bliss. Miley was kissing me...
It may not be a confession of love, but it was just as heartwarming.


So, who's happy that Justin got a kiss as well?
I didn't really know what to do with this chapter, so trhis is what I came up with... It's certasinly not my favourite, bvut I guess it's okay.
