Hi everybody! Sorry there hasn't been an update for a while. I've been crazy busy with juggling ballet, gymnastics, swim club, piano lessons and school. (You'd probably faint if you saw my schedule)
Geoff comes and tells me the trip to Courtney's got cancelled due to Courtney's mom wanting to go buy another vacation home in France. Seriously who picks buying a house or spending Christmas with your family? Apparently Courtney's mom does. And I thought my life was bad. (A.N. I originally did write a version where they go to Courtney's house but it took up like six chapter so I decided to get rid of the idea)
I walk in the auditorium for performance day. I don't think I've ever been this nervous before and I never get nervous. But I have a goal, Courtney. I sit by Geoff in the auditorium and listen to the other student's songs. Bridgette goes and sings Colbie Caillat's falling for you and Geoff singing Jason Mraz's I'm yours for each other. Ten minutes after their performances they're making out.
I go up and start playing my electric guitar and grab my skull shaped microphone.
So many people gonna say that they want you, I'm in love with a girl who knows me better, Out the many broken backdoors and windows, I'm in love with a girl who knows me better, Gonna tell you what you do to think you practice what you preach, I'm in love with a girl who knows me better,
To try to get you thinking they really care,
But there's nothing like the warmth of the one who has put in the time and you know he's gonna be there,
Back your border when she knows someone crossed it,
Don't let nobody put you down, who your with
Take the pain of protecting your name, from the crutch to the cane to the highwire
Fell for the women just when I met her,
Took my sweet time when I was bitter,
Someone understands,
And she knows how to treat a fella right,
Give me that feeling every night,
Wants to make out when I wanna fight,
Now someone understand me,
I'm in love with a girl(I'm in love with)
I'm in love with a girl(I'm in love with)
Through the valley of the love of the lost,
Is a hole that is cut through the souls falling down from the thrones without leaving any windows,
But you drown in a piece for the moment,
The moment was over in time,
Then its gone the hit and run the tactless one has a short life
Fell for the women just when I met her,
Took my sweet time when I was bitter,
Someone understands,
And she knows how to treat a fella right,
Give me that feeling every night,
Wants to make out when I wanna fight,
Now someone understand me,
I'm in love with a girl(I'm in love with)
I'm in love with a girl(I'm in love with)
Now I know there's nothing we cant preach,
'cause the heart can't erase once it finds a place to be warm and welcome,
To be held in shelter
Fell for the women just when I met her,
Took my sweet time when I was bitter,
Someone understands,
And she knows how to treat a fella right,
Give me that feeling every night,
Wants to make out when I wanna fight,
Now someone understand me,
I'm in love with a girl(I'm in love with)
I'm in love with a girl(I'm in love with)
Who knows me better
Wants to make love when I wanna fight
Now someone understand me
I bow and look for Courtney but she isn't in the audience. Crap! She probably didn't even hear my song!
Sorry I had to change the lyrics but Courtney would probably murder Duncan if he sang the original song! Shout out to my best friend for ever Petra for giving me this song and thanks for sending me your song choices!

Next up is Courtney (there she is!) she looks as beautiful as ever she's wearing a white dress that makes her mocha skin shine and her hair has been curled slightly making her look more fantastic then ever. The guitarist starts and she clutches the microphone.
In the heat of the fight
I walked away,
Ignoring words that you were saying,
Tryna make me stay.
I said, "This time I've had enough."
And you've called a hundred times,
But I'm not pickin' up.
'Cause I'm so mad, I might tell you that it's over.
But if you look a little closer
I said, "Leave," but all I really want is you Me and my stupid pride I said, "Leave," but all I really want is you And I scream out the window, I said, "Leave," but baby all I want is you With your face, and your beautiful eyes
To stand outside my window, throwing pebbles, screaming, "I'm in love with you."
Wait there in the pourin' rain,
Come back for more.
And don't you leave,
'cause I know all I need
is on the other side of the door.
I'm sittin' here, alone.
I'm going through the photographs,
Staring at the phone.
I keep going back over
Things we both said
And I remember the slammin' door,
And all the things that I misread.
So babe if you know everything
Tell me why you couldn't see
That when I left I wanted you to
Chase after me? Yeah
To stand outside my window, throwing pebbles, screaming, "I'm in love with you."
Wait there in the pourin' rain,
Come back for more.
And don't you leave,
'cause I know all I need
is on the other side of the door.
"I can't even look at you, I don't need you,"
But I do, I do, I do.
I say, "There's nothing you can say
To make this right again, I mean it, I mean it"
What I mean is
To stand outside my window, throwing pebbles, screaming, "I'm in love with you."
Wait there in the pourin' rain,
Come back for more.
And don't you leave,
'cause I know all I need
is on the other side of the door.
And the conversation
With the little white lies.
And the faded picture
Of a beautiful night
You carried me from your car
up the stairs
And I broke down cryin'
Was she worth this mess?
After everything and that little black dress
After everything I must confess,
I need you
(A few hours later)
I grab a few pebbles and chuck them at Courtney's dorm window. She opens up and yells 'Duncan what are you doing?' And I yell back 'I'm in love with you Courtney can you give me another chance?' She runs outside in her pyjamas and gives me a kiss 'Looks like you listened, but once again we have to start out as friends. 'Friends with benefits I ask. 'Defiantly' she says before heading back inside. Man, she's stubborn as she is beautiful. But she's worth it.
