Always
I had a hard time looking at Andrew after what I told him. Who could after telling someone you still have some feelings for them? Leslie kind of stopped bothering me after seeing my face when I came back with her water. I had lost all tolerance, and I had a scary look on my face.
My phone suddenly buzzed. I opened up my text messages and saw that it was from "Anonymous". Curious, I opened the text and read it.
Meet me backstage after the rehearsal is done. I want to talk to you. Please.
I didn't recognize the number it was sent from, so I knew it wasn't Andrew or something. I was slightly bothered by someone I don't know getting my number, but I decided to go backstage anyway. Besides, I'm a dangerous opponent if the person threatens me.
After rehearsal, I made sure that everyone was gone before going backstage. I was a bit cautious when going back there. I saw the person, but it wasn't a stranger. It was Adam.
"Adam?" I called, walking over to him.
Adam turned around, happy that I came.
"Thanks for coming, Prim. I thought you weren't coming since I didn't sat the text was from me."
I slightly gasped. He called me Prim for the second time in my life. What's going on?
"Are you ok?" Adam asked, concerned.
"You…called me Prim instead of Wylde." I told him.
Adam blushed.
"Well, yeah, I mean…I like your name."
"Uh, thanks." I replied, blushing as well.
"We need to talk." Adam said as he walked over to me.
"What about?" I asked.
"I'm sorry for scaring you at my party. I didn't mean to get…ahem…intimate with you. I was unconcerned about your feelings for Andrew, and I'm truly sorry."
"A-Andrew?" I repeated. "Well…but he-"
"I understand that you still have feelings for him, and that's not wrong. I just made things more complicated. But I can't deny this; I love you, Prim."
I gasped in shock. Adam…loves me? No way.
"Andrew set you up to tell me that, didn't he?" I said, tears forming in my eyes.
Adam's eyes widened.
"No, Prim! These are my feelings that I have for you. To be honest, Andrew called me, asking me that I talk to you about your feelings for him. I'm not doing that for him. I'm straight out telling you my feelings, and wondering how you feel about all of this." Ada, said firmly.
"How I feel, huh?" I said. "The truth is, I don't know how I feel. I'm just confused right now. With you telling me you love me, it changes everything. Our friendship, the band, and the band geek code of conduct."
"Screw the conduct," Adam told me. "That doesn't stop my feelings for you, and that shouldn't stop our friendship or the band. And that shouldn't stop you either."
Adam has yet another good point. Why should I shy away from what I feel just because of an incident last year? That makes me regret telling Sierra to be careful about falling in love with Branson. She never got to tell him how she feels, and now he's gone to college. It's my entire fault.
"Prim?" Adam called to me.
"You're right," I began. "I was stupid to follow that code of conduct for so long. It's not up to the band to say who we love or don't love. Now I'm really confused on my feelings."
Adam sighed and looked away.
"Don't let me stand in the way of your true feelings, Prim. Just know this; no matter what happens in the end, I will still love you. Always."
Those words made a breakthrough in my heart. Even if I continued to have feelings for Andrew, Adam, a popular senior band member, will continue to love me, a bipolar sophomore who doesn't know how she feels. That's true love. Suddenly, I know how I feel.
"Adam…" I said.
"Yeah?" he replied softly.
"I know how I feel now. I have the most feelings for you, Adam. You're the only guy I've known, besides Branson, that actually sees me as a girl, and will love me no matter what. Andrew never gave me that feeling of being a girl. He treated me like a tomboy, which I am, but I'm still a girl. He treats Roxxi like that, who is girly. Even though I'm not the perfect dream girl, you still love me, and that means a lot to me, Adam." I confessed.
Adam smiled and bent down to look me straight in the eye.
"You are the perfect dream girl. For me. You're so spirited and amazing, that I can be myself around you. And you are beautiful. Quit doubting yourself so much. It's heartbreaking to see you upset and holed in your room. I truly love you, Primrose Isabel Wylde, and I hope you'll see that in me forever."
I couldn't take it. This was so much for me to take in. I sank to the floor and tears started free flowing down my face. Adam sat next to me and wrapped me in a huge hug. He began to sing a beautiful Bon Jovi song as he rocked me back and forth.
This Romeo is bleeding, but you can't see his blood
It's nothing but some feelings that this old dog kicked up
It's been raining since you left me, now I'm drowning in the flood
You see I've always been a fighter, but without you I give up
Now I can't sing a love song like the way it's meant to be
Well I guess I'm not that good anymore
But baby that's just me
And I, will love you
Baby, always
And I'll be there ,forever and a day
Always
I'll be there till the stars don't shine
Till the heavens burst, and the words don't rhyme
I know when I die, you'll be on my mind
And I'll love you, always
Now the pictures that you left behind
Are just memories of a different life
Some that made us laugh, some that made us cry
One that made you have to say goodbye
What'd I give to run my fingers through your hair
To touch your lips, to hold you near
When you say your prayers, try to understand
That I've made mistakes, I'm just a man
When he holds you close, when he pulls you near
When you hear the words you've been needing to hear
I wish I was him, cause those words are mine
To say to you till the end of time
And I, will love you
Baby, always
And I'll be there ,forever and a day
Always
I'll be there till the stars don't shine
Till the heavens burst, and the words don't rhyme
I know when I die, you'll be on my mind
And I'll love you, always
If you told me to cry for you, I could
If you told me to die for you, I would
Take a look at my face
There's no price I won't pay
To say these words to you
Well there ain't no luck
In these loaded dice
But baby, if you give me just one more try
We can pack up our own dreams and our own lives
We'll find a place where the sun still shines
And I, will love you
Baby, always
And I'll be there ,forever and a day
Always
I'll be there till the stars don't shine
Till the heavens burst, and the words don't rhyme
I know when I die, you'll be on my mind
And I'll love you, always
Always
I looked up at Adam, feeling my DE dissolving away.
"Adam…" I called
"Yes?" he replied, love in his voice.
"Kiss me." I told him softly.
Adam was a bit surprised by my request.
"You won't push me away this time?" he teased, his face getting closer to mine.
"Of course not. I love you too, Adam, and I hope you'll see that in me as well."
Adam leaned down the rest of the way and pressed his lips against mine. I kissed him back, not wanting him to let go. He put his right hand on my cheek as he continued to kiss me. I could still hear the chorus to the song he sang still ringing in my ear.
And I, will love you
Baby, always
And I'll be there ,forever and a day
Always
I'll be there till the stars don't shine
Till the heavens burst, and the words don't rhyme
I know when I die, you'll be on my mind
And I'll love you, always
"Always?" I whispered.
"Always." Adam replied, kissing me again.
Awww! What a romantic chapter! And what a coincidence, Valentine's Day is coming up fast! Now that Adam and Prim are official, what will the band have to say about it? And will Prim go to the Valentine's Day dance with Adam? Until next time!
