Chapter 31 – A song for Gordo (Well here we go again. Ok this chapter is short as it's mainly just a song, this time a song for Gordo. Don't worry I'm working on a regular chapter right now that should be up soon. The song I'm using is a song by Finger 11. The name of the song is "One thing". I know it's not a hugely common song but I heard it once and fell in love it and I just have to use it. If you have not heard its set to a simple acoustic guitar beat and I think its something Gordo would actually listen too. Ok anyways to the story. Much love and hope,

Gordo got up off his bed and turned his radio on. He turned it to a local station that played a variety of music that he liked due to his eclectic taste. He half listened to the songs as he worked on his English paper. His mind was drifting when he realized that some one has requested, "You make me wanna" by Usher, a song he wasn't particularly fond of but he smiled and shook he head as he was reminded of what the song was about.
"A guy thinking about leaving his girlfriend for a friend he is falling for. Yeah I think I know just a little bit about that. Well I guess I know I'm not alone in what I'm going through. Too bad I don't have his number so I can call him and ask what he did about it," he told himself as the song ended.
He was about to go back to working on his paper when another song got his attention. He never heard the song before but for some reason it got his attention. His ears were at attention as he listened closely to the words coming from his radio. The song was called
"One thing"
Restless tonight
Cause I wasted the light
Between both these times
I drew a really thin line
It's nothing I planned
And not that I can
But you should be mine
Across that line
If I traded it all
If I gave it all away for one thing
Just for one thing
If I sorted it out
If I knew all about this one thing
Wouldn't that be something
I promise I might
Not walk on by
Maybe next time
But not this time
Even though I know
I don't want to know
Yeah I guess I know
I just hate how it sounds
If I traded it all
If I gave it all away for one thing
Just for one thing
If I sorted it out
If I knew all about this one thing
Wouldn't that be something
Even though I know
I don't want to know
Yeah I guess I know
I just hate how it sounds
Even though I know
I don't want to know
Yeah I guess I know
I just hate how it sounds
If I traded it all
If I gave it all away for one thing
Just for one thing
If I sorted it out
If I knew all about this one thing
Wouldn't that be something
Gordo couldn't believe what he had just heard. He had no idea what the song was supposed to be about but it had sent a message strait to his heart. As he thought about it, it started to make sense. Whatever this one thing was it must be pretty important to him if he was willing to give up everything for it. He couldn't shake the feeling that the message of the song somehow applied to his present situation. He tried to think of what his one thing could be. Although many things passed through his head there was one image that kept popping into his head. The image of Miranda's beautiful smiling face simply would not leave his mind as he contemplated what would be worth giving up everything he knew for.
After a few minutes of fighting with himself he had come to a decision. He took a breath as he told himself out loud, "I can't believe I am going to do this."
