Hi everyone! I'm actually writing on WordPerfect at the moment. I have spell check. It's a miracle!! LoL it really is. I finally can writing a sentence without (spelling) messing up my effect. Lol. Thank you to Arcadia who explained how to use the html. Okay, the song Everything You Want is not mine. It's uhh Vertical Horizon's. And In A Heartbeat is Disney's I guess. If they still own it. Who knows? Wow this program is awesome. I can type and not have to make capitols at the beginning of each sentence. It does it for me! Yay! Finally. Lol okay I should get started. Enjoy...

Everything You Want

by: Strawberry Angel (ha this program is kewl)

He's everything you want

He's everything you need

He's everything inside of you

That you wish you could be

He says all the right things

At exactly the right time

Caitie gazed at the words scribbled in her notebook. Hmm maybe it wasn't her song or her words but they fit well enough. It describe her feelings to a T.

"What's that?" Val asked, catching a glimpse of the delicate handwriting over Caitie's shoulder.

"What?" Caitie jumped and twisted around. Val raised her eyebrows to indicate the spiral notebook resting on her friend's knees. Caitie quickly flipped it to the cover and glared. "Nothing. Why are you spying on me anyways?"

"Spying? We're best friends. I was coming to see what you were doing out here all alone...and at lunch too! The only subject you're passing." Val smiled to let her unhappy friend know she was joking. Caitie didn't appear amused.

"Oh." She said, slightly embarrassed. (I can spell the right way!!!) "I'm not doing anything. In fact, I was just leaving.

"You're missing a line." Val stated, falling in step beside Caitie.

"What?" Caitie asked again.

Val sighed impatiently. "The last line." Caitie knew what she was talking about but didn't let on.

"There's more?" She questioned innocently. Val could see through her act. It was a good thing Caitie liked writing instead of drama.

"Yes. The part about meaning nothing to you and not knowing why." Val shook her head.

"Oh. Uh..." Caitie scrambled for a good excuse but nothing came to mind.

"Didn't fit with your thoughts, huh?"

"And that's supposed to mean what?" Caitie folded her arms across her chest and gave Val her best indigent stare.

"Don't be so secretive. It was about Jamie right? You were writing about Jamie. I know you, toots. I know how you work. I write lyrics about certain people...no one special but..." Val stopped. Caitie was nodding.

"Tyler."

"Maybe. But we aren't talking about me. Don't be embarrassed. Maybe you could even tell him. Or even better! Dedicate the song to him and make sure he hears it!"

Caitie shoved Val playfully. "Shut up."





Jamie stumbled up the stairs without much feeling. It was a regular old day but for some reason he felt worse than usual. It was like a depressed feeling. Almost hopeless.

What could I be feeling so hopeless about? He thought and the one word that was always in his mind popped up. Caitie. A rather simple explanation. It always made sense yet always made everything more complicated. And right now, things were worse than ever. Or so it seemed to Jamie.

~Flashback To Lunch That Day~

Jamie had been sitting across from Caitie at lunch, same as every day. She was inspecting her salad and he was eating whatever was on his plate for the day. It was normal, routine. Jamie looked up to see how Caitie's salad hunt was going. But instead of looking intently at her greens, she was staring intently at him.

"What's wrong?" He'd asked.

"Nothing. Why?"

"You're acting weird."

"Thanks Jamie. You always say the right things." Caitie had said sarcastically but the smile she donned told Jamie she meant it. And it was true. He could read Caitie like a book. His favorite book. Always the same but each time you read, you get something new and figure more of the plot out.

"I know." He answered.

"So smug. Aren't we Mr. Humility."

"No. I don't need to be."

"Funny Jamie. I'm glad you have so much self-confidence." Caitie'd said, sounding bitter.

"Why? You don't."

"Not really."

"You should." Jamie'd insisted.

"Thanks anyway but I guess it'd mean more from someone else." Caitie had answered and began to stand.

"Like who?" Jamie called but she was already out the door.

~End Flashback~

So that was where Jamie was in life. Torn between being friends and admitting what he'd always wanted to say. He sighed and tossed himself onto his bed. With nothing better to do, he clicked on the radio. The sounds of some unfamiliar song blared from its speakers. He knew that Dominique, his 12 year old sister, had borrowed the radio. But instead of feeling upset, he settled back into the pillow and let the words of the song take over. It wasn't that bad actually.



You're waiting for someone

To put you together

You're waiting for someone to push you away

There's always another wound to discover

There's always something more you wish he'd say



Hmm, that kinda sounded like Caitie. She was never getting to close but always wanting Jamie to come close to her. Jamie remembered each incident like it was only a few minutes ago. So vivid. So clear.

~Flashback~

It was warm. The month wasn't important. Caitie had been sitting on the porch swing at Jamie's house. He was only inches, centimeters away. Tears were on her eyelashes and a pain was pulling at her heart, unknown to Jamie.

"What do you want me to do?"

"I don't know." Caitie said through the lump in her throat. Jamie slipped an arm around her shoulders.

"You know I'd do anything to make you feel better."

Caitie stiffened under his touch and inched away. "Well you can't. I've already been hurt to many time by too many people. Don't waste your time. You'll wind up doing it too."

"What's that supposed to mean?"

"That's all you have to say?" She'd asked before leaving. The bang of the fence closing, no slamming, behind her was a sound etched in memory.

~End Flashback~



Jamie was still living in his memory until words that seemed so like his situation were floating in the air.

I am everything you want

I am everything you need

I am everything inside of you that you wish you could be

I say all the right things

At exactly the right time

But I mean nothing to you

And I don't know why

And I don't know why

Why

I don't know

Jamie nodded. He knew what that guy was feeling. It was making a lot of sense right about now. Someday he'd get the nerve up to ask Caitie. To make everything said the way it should be. When that would could come, he didn't know.

A/N: I know I know it's awful. But there will be a chapter 2 with another song. I already know which one too. And it's really short. Sorry. Please review but keep the flames turned low.
