(chapter updated- song is now different)
ELI** sometimes life just seems so pointless. What is the point in life? In us? One day we'll be extinct and what will we have done? Nothing probably.
"BEEP-BEEP-BEEP, BEEP-BEEP-BEEP" "Jesus Christ and the lord above, SHUT UP" Eli shouted at the alarm clock before slamming it across the room. It was Saturday morning and he realised he had forgotten to turn it off from yesterday. Why was it set for 7.00 anyway wondered Eli, oh yeah, job interviews. Eli slowly rolled over and threw the pillows over his head. Another event less day in front of me, he thought. What to do? Wash the car? Tidy the room? Write another song? **Yeah because I really need another angst-filled tune about lost love and failed relationships and lame boyfriends who cant be trusted.
Eli sighed, Wonder what Grace is doing? Probably still asleep ** God, I wish I was with her right now. Lying with her . Stop it, thought Eli, man you need to get over her. She's over you. Jessie had told him yesterday how Grace had a date tonight. With some junior named Dylan. Eli remembered Dylan's older brother who had been on the basketball team with Eli, a tall, good-looking jock that could get any girl he wanted and knew it. This Dylan guy was probably the same. Why was he after Grace? Eli knew she wasn't the prettiest girl in school but he knew there a something special in Grace, something in her eyes, but Eli thought only he could see it **OH that's harsh dude, Grace deserves to be happy, why shouldn't someone else see Graces beauty? She deserves to be loved and treated with respect and we both know I can't give her any of that
Eli looked back up at the clock on the wall 7.30 He sighed then clambered out of bed. **Might as well do something productive.
He threw on some trousers and a tee and grabbed his guitar. **Nothing else to do.
He strummed a chord ** Man, your really gonna write another song?
What I got to do to make you love me?
What I got to do to make you care?
What do I do when lightning strikes me?
And I wake to find that you're not there?
What I got to go to make you want me?
What I got to do to be heard?
What do I say when it's all over?
Sorry seems to be the hardest word.
It's sad, so sad
It's a sad, sad situation.
And it's getting more and more absurd.
It's sad, so sad
Why can't we talk it over?
Oh it seems to me
That sorry seems to be the hardest word.
What do I do to make you want me?
What I got to do to be heard?
What do I say when it's all over?
Sorry seems to be the hardest word.
It's sad, so sad
It's a sad, sad situation.
And it's getting more and more absurd.
It's sad, so sad
Why can't we talk it over?
Oh it seems to me
That sorry seems to be the hardest word.
Yeh. Sorry
What I got to do to make you love me?
What I got to do to be heard?
What do I do when lightning strikes me?
What have I got to do?
What have I got to do?
When sorry seems to be the hardest word.
Oh man, Eli said out loud, you've got it bad, before putting the guitar down and crawling back into bed.
14.45 "Well, what time do u think the party will be over by? No, Grace you know you cant just call me whenever you want, I'm not a taxi service remember? Well, pick a time now Grace, I've gotta go soon" "Umm. lily? I can pick up Grace if you like? "Would you?" "Yeah sure no problems, any time" "Thanks, OK Grace Eli is picking you up at 12.30 ok? What? No I cant pick you up. Eli is. That's not a problem is it? Good. 12.30 Bye honey" Eli watched as Lily hung up the phone "Ok so Grace is going out tonight and she'll need picking up at 12.30 ok? The address is on the counter over there somewhere but if you cant find it just ring Grace, she's at the restaurant. Right, got to go. Bye Eli" "Bye" As Eli observed Lily running around like a headless chicken he realised that Grace probably didn't want Eli picking her up ** I don't want to either, what with her being on a date and all that, so why did I offer? Yeah because you're obsessed that's why
(This is a song by Blue and Elton John and is really beautiful so yeh i dont own it and all that....)
