All Mixed Up Chapter 13: Beautiful Soul, a degrassi fanfic

Song "Beautiful Soul" by Jesse McCartney. Cause I'm dorky like that. Credit goes to him :P

Chapter 13

(Craig's POV) It's now Friday.

"Your coming right?"

"For the 20th time yes! Marco is bringing me there, and then after I'm going to Ash's"

"Ok, I'm just making sure."

"Well I'm coming, don't worry. One less empty seat." she said jokingly as she went to her next class.

I started to my next class, in the opposite direction when Marco came up next to me.

"Hey, did you finish the song."

"Yes, just like I said I would."

"Don't you think this whole, writing the song for the girl I love thing, is getting just a bit old?"

"No, I don't actually. Thanks."

(Ellie's POV)

As I walked away from Craig I saw Alex down the hall with Jay. I decided even though he was there I would go up and say hi to Alex.

"Hey Alex."

"Hey"

"Well hello to you too." Jay said, acting offended.

"Hello"

"What's up? What are you doing tonight?"

"Going to The Sasquatch's show, then staying over Ashley's."

"Going to see your boyfriend?"

"Jay, shut up."

"Whatever, she can deny it as much as she wants. I have to go meet Sean anyway."

They kissed and he left. She could do so much better, but they were cute in an odd sort of way.

"Anyway, what are you doing tonight."

"Nothing, Jay's probably going to Sean's, and I'll probably go with him."

"Sounds fun."

"Well it can't be any better then seeing Craig's band. Didn't you say they sucked."

"Probably but they're not that bad, pretty good I might even say."

There was a weird silence, then Alex asked "I know nothing's going on between you two, but you don't like Craig like that at all?"

"No, I've never really thought of him like that. Well at least not until all this mess happened."

"Yea, well I think he definitely likes you, and I think you might like him. Even if you don't know it yet."

"Alex, come on."

"Fine, but keep it in mind. I'll see you later."

"Bye."

Maybe Craig did like me... everyone else sure thought so. Still, it's Craig. I've never really thought of him like that. He's great though, sure he's done some stupid things, but he's great. Maybe Alex had a point...

(Craig's POV)

"Ok the gig's in 2 hours, we have to get this song perfect."

"Craig it sounds fine." Jimmy said, getting annoyed.

"It has to be perfect!"

"Why."

"Because I don't want this show to suck."

"Yea, ok. Who's this one about?"

"What are you talking about." I asked giving Marco a nervous glance, that I hoped Jimmy didn't see.

"Well normally I'd guess Ashley but there's nothing really going on with you two anymore."

"It's just a song. A song that sounds off, so one more time."

(Craig's POV)

It was 2 minutes before we went on and I was freaking out. Doing the whole pacing, bantering, going over the song in my head thing. Ellie was here with Ash. I couldn't believe I was going to do this.

Marco, who is usually the stressed one, tried to calm me down. Then finally we played. We played "What I Know" and "The Devil In The Moon". The it was time for the new song I had written. The song about Ellie, for Ellie.

I closed my eyes and prayed it would sound perfect.

I don't want another pretty face
I don't want just anyone to hold
I don't want my love to go to waste
I want you and your beautiful soul

I know that you are something special
To you I'd be always faithful
I want to be what you always needed
Then I hope you'll see the heart in me

I don't want another pretty face
I don't want just anyone to hold
I don't want my love to go to waste
I want you and your beautiful soul
You're the one I want to chase
You're the one I want to hold
I won't let another minute go to waste
I want you and your beautiful soul

Yeah

You might need time to think it over
But I'm just fine moving forward
I'll ease your mind
If you give me the chance
I will never make you cry, c'mon let's try

Am I crazy for wanting you
Baby do you think you could want me too
I don't waste your time
Do you see things the way I do
I just want to know that you feel it too
There is nothing left to hide

I don't want another pretty face
I don't want just anyone to hold
I don't want my love to go to waste
I want you and your beautiful soul

Your beautiful soul, yeah

Oh, Yeah, Your beautiful soul...
