'You could be the devil in my bed

You could be the angel in my head

You could be the voices that I hear

I'm singing along because it sounds just like you're near'

She's gone. Upset, angry, sobbing? Happy? I doubt that one. What am I doing? Sitting here with Shane. Annoyed with her and her yammering on and on about her hair and nails. I've only used her to make Rory jealous. What else was I supposed to do? She left without saying a single thing, she didn't even write or call me. Is it wrong what I'm doing with Shane-maybe, but all I can see is Rory

'I could be the drug you can't resist

I could be the antidote you missed

I could be the love you hate to fear

You're filling the hole inside your heart with feeling near to me'

"I gotta go"

"What? Where? I'm talking to you" Shane says in an annoying/annoyed voce.

Whatever.

"I'll see you sometime" I have to find Rory, I need to know if its true- what Bag Boy said. I was stunned-I'm hoping he was right-for a change. The bridge. That has to be the place.

'Cause you're so beautiful

You're beautiful today

You're so beautiful

Beautiful in every little way'

There she is. I knew I'd find her here. It's always been our spot-at least that's what I've begun to think. It's so hard to concentrate to talk. I'm guessing that's why she's doing all the talking-but it's hard to know what she says when I'm looking into those eyes. She's so amazing.

Rory looked down at the water. "He's right. Everything he said. All those things about you and me, all those things about me lying to him, and messing with his head. He was right. Well, wasn't he? Fine, he was right about me, then. Now go away." she says. I can't talk, answer, all my muscles are dead. She has feelings for me the ones I have for her. "He was right. . . about all of it." I finally manage to say. "So, what now?" "You're definitely broken up with Dean?" I ask. "Yeah, I'm definitely broken up with Dean," she answers. "Ok, I have to go take care of something then." I wish I didn't have to leave-but I have to get Shane gone and Rory probably needs a little time. My time has come.

'Cause when you're coming around

I'm off the ground

I've got to say

You're so beautiful today

You're so beautiful today'
