The Impact of Songs

Chapter 2: Where You Lead
Disclaimer: I do not own JAG, even though I wish I did. Nor do I own the song Where You Lead, that belongs to Carole King. I'm just love that song.
Author's Note: If you read this, first of all, please, please, please review it. And second you'll have to bear with me. I love writing, but I'm extremely slow at it (I get distracted too easily J). At some point this will be a 3-4 chapter story. As you can already see, this is the second chapter. This time it's Harm that's put in the spotlight. I hope you all like it, and please review! Now, let's get on with the story!
Later that night, Cmdr. Harmon Rabb Jr. walked into his apartment. The minute he walked through the door he heard the song "Where You Lead" blasting through the room and Mattie, screaming at the top of her lungs to it. He instantly knew it, being an old Carole King fan himself, secretly of course. He quickly walked across the room and pushed stop on the stereo.
Mattie instantly turned around, "Heeeey, Harm." she said trying to change her tone of voice before he noticed it.
"Hi Mattie. May I ask why you're in here screaming along to this song, and not in your own apartment?" He asked setting his brief case down on the counter.
"Uh... because, you have a better stereo than we do." She shyly answered.
"Okay, so you wanted to blow out my speakers because you wanted to have the better stereo?" He asked pulling a zip-lock bag full of carrots and celery and a bottle of Ranch dressing out of the refrigerator.
"No, I just love that song and knew it would sound better on your stereo."
"Alright, but next time would you at least turn it down a little?"
She thought about it for about a minute, "Sure. Well I better get back over there, homework."
"Mattie!"
"Bye Harm." she said quickly leaving, not even thinking about her CD.
An hour later Harm was having some problems going through the case that he was currently working on. He decided that it would help to turn on some music, so without thinking he just pressed play on his CD player remote.
As the opening to a song started to play he knew that it sounded familiar, but it definitely wasn't what he'd put in his stereo. So he decided to let it play.
Wanting you the way I do
I only want to be with you
I only want one person, but I also know that will never happen. She could never want me. I'm to stupid, pigheaded, stubborn, but then again, she is a Marine.
And I would go to the ends of the earth
Cause, darling, to me that's you're worth
She's worth the earth, the sun, the moon, and the stars. I'd do anything for her.
Where you lead, I will follow
Anywhere that you tell me to
There's no where she could go that she could get me to not follow her, and she should know that by now.
If you need, you need me to be with you
I will follow where you lead
As long as she lead's I'll be there. Following her like a little puppy at her side, whether she likes it or not.
If you're out on the road
Feeling lonely, and so cold
All you have to do is call my name
And I'll be there in the next train
Train, plane, bus, you name it I'll be on it. All she has to do is call my name.
Where you lead, I will follow
Anywhere that you tell me to
If you need, you need me to be with you
I will follow where you lead
If she needs me there, all she has to say is the words, and I'll be there. Nothing could keep me away if she needed me.
I always wanted a real home with flowers on the window sill
But if you want to live in New York city, honey, you know I will
New York City, Rome, Paris, DC., where ever my Mac wanted to live, you know I won't be far.
I never thought I could get satisfaction from just one man
But if anyone can keep me happy, you're the one who can
Okay, one woman, but it's true. Before her I never thought I'd get married. I thought I'd be a bachelor all my life, but she makes me feel completely different.
And where you lead, I will follow
Anywhere that you tell me to
If you need, you need me to be with you
I will follow where you lead
Mac, just tell me you need me and I'll be there. Just say you need me too.
Once the song was over he knew what he had to do. He turned the stereo off and closed his brief case. He picked up his keys off the counter and locked the door as he headed to his car.
Author's Note: So that's chapter 2. I know that my chapters are short, but if I don't do them like that I'll just keep going and never know where to stop. I hope you all like it so far and keep reading. PLEASE, Please, please review.
