Sunday afternoon Kelsie sat in her room playing the piano. She didn't accept any calls the last night or today. She couldn't believe she let something like that get to her; it was so not like her. The last thing she wanted to do was do something that would put her relationship with Chris in jeopardy. She truly loved him, but something about Craig was drawing her to him, making her think about him some nights.

"Pieces Of Me"

On a Monday, I am waiting
Tuesday, I am fading

Kelsie was singing when Craig starting climbing the stairs to her room. Instead of knocking when he got to the door, he just leaned again the wall on the outside, listening to her sing, but hiding so she wouldn't see him. He knew she wouldn't be too thrilled to know that he was here in the first place, not after yesterday.

And by Wednesday, I can't sleep
Then the phone rings, I hear you
And the darkness is a clear view
Cuz you've come to rescue me

Fall... With you, I fall so fast
I can hardly catch my breath, I hope it lasts

Craig couldn't believe that she knew how to sing so well let alone play the piano. She hadn't shown any of her friends this part of her, and he couldn't help and wonder why. He decided to interrupt her to find out.

"Hey Kels," he said coming in her room with a half smile.

"Don't you knock?" she said impolitely, turning to face him away from him, towards the window.

"Sorry, but why didn't you tell me you could sing?"

Turning back towards him, "Like you, I wasn't ready to share that part of me with anyone else."

"Well does your boyfriend know about this side?" curious to know if he was the first one to find out her secret.

"Yeah, but he's the only one…besides you now."

"What was that you were singing?" probing to find out all he could about this girl he loved.

"Something that I wrote a while back for Chris," getting a little sad when thinking of him. "What brings you by?"

"I came to apologize about yesterday; I should have never kissed you."

"Craig I'm just as much to blame about it as you. I guess I just missed what it felt like to be cared about; it's just been so long since Chris and I have seen each other. Sometimes it really gets to me. Yeah I love him, but being so young makes it's just so hard to maintain a long distance relationship. I never thought it would be this hard when we settle on the idea," she said almost in tears.

Craig strolled over, sat on the bench next to Kelsie, and just held her in his arms as she cried. This was hard for him to say, but he knew it was the right thing to do, "Maybe after you go over to see him then maybe you will feel better."

Kelsie released from their embrace, and looked at him. "Maybe you're right!"

Wanting to here her voice some more, "So will you play me the whole song?"

"Okay, but you can't tell anyone."

Thinking of a great idea, "Alright, but I think you might be a great addition to our band."

"You can't be serious," thinking that he was joking.

"But I am."

"I'll think about it," not sure if she was quite ready for that.

Kelsie turned back towards her Piano, and began to play the intro to the song.

On a Monday, I am waiting
Tuesday, I am fading
And by Wednesday, I can't sleep
Then the phone rings, I hear you
And the darkness is a clear view
Cuz you've come to rescue me

Fall...With you, I fall so fast
I can hardly catch my breath, I hope it lasts

Chorus:
Ohhhhh
It seems like I can finally rest my head on something real
I like the way that feels
Ohhhhh
It's as if you know me better than I ever knew myself
I love how you can tell
All the pieces, pieces, pieces of me
All the pieces, pieces, pieces of me

I am moody, messy
I get restless, and it's senseless
How you never seem to care

When I'm angry, you listen
Make me happy it's a mission
And you won't stop til I'm there

Fall... Sometimes I fall so fast
When I hit that bottom
Crash, you're all I have

Chorus:
Ohhhhh
It seems like I can finally rest my head on something real
I like the way that feels
Ohhhhh
It's as if you known me better than I ever knew myself
I love how you can tell
All the pieces, pieces, pieces of me

How do you know everything I'm about to say?
Am I that obvious?
And if it's written on my face...
I hope it never goes away... yeah

On a Monday, I am waiting
And by Tuesday, I am fading into your arms...
So I can breathe

Chorus:
Ohhhhh
It seems like I can finally rest my head on something real
I like the way that feels
Ohhhhh
It's as if you've know me better than I ever knew myself
I love how you can tell
Ohhhhh
I love how you can tell
Ohhhhh
I love how you can tell
All the pieces, pieces, pieces of me
All the pieces, pieces, pieces of me...

"If that book you're writing is anything like the music you write then people better watch out for you," saying that put a smile on her face, she couldn't help but blush.

Giving him a hug, "Thanks for being such a great friend. I don't know where I would be if I didn't meet you. I mean you've done nothing but make me feel welcomed, and less homesick."

"No problem. Do you want to come meet Spin, Ash, Paige, and Jimmy at The Dot with me?"

"Sure why not, I've been cooped up in the house all day. Just let me change first."

"Okay, I'll meet you downstairs," heading towards the door.

"Alright."
