The very thing that she had stashed into her sock drawer was the very thing that haunted her. She knew she'd be dead the next day if she didn't go to bed, so she stashed it and hit the mattress. But as she tried to sleep, she couldn't get the way he was looking at her out of her head. She couldn't rid her mind of that song!

Violently, she rolled out of bed, throwing the covers away in the midst of her action and made her way to her dresser. Right away as she reached into the drawer she pulled out the paper, the pieces standing out at her. She found the first sheet and smiled as she looked at his messy writing. Somehow, though, she was able to make out the words.

Seemed to stop my breath, my head on your chest waiting to cave in, from the bottom of my… Hear your voice again, could we dim the sun and wonder where we've been. Maybe you and me so kiss me like you did; my heart stopped beating, such a softer sin.

She sat there looking over the first verse. She bit her lip, staring at the first verse. It was so…intense. She read on, hoping that the tightening in her torso would stop.

I'm melting in your eyes, I lost my place, could stay a while; and I'm melting in your eyes. Like my first time, that I caught fire; just stay with me, lay with me now.

It almost sounded as if he were serenading someone. She smiled as she read it over once more. She never knew he was capable of writing anything other than cussing. She laughed at her own joke, feeling almost pathetic to be sitting on her bedroom floor scanning over stolen lyrics.

Never caught my breath, every second without you I'm a mess. Ever know each other, twist these words are stones. Why cuts aren't healing, learning how to love.

She tried to drown the fluttering in her stomach. She skipped the repeat of the chorus and read onto the bridge at the end of the song.

You can stay and watch me fall, and of course I'll ask for help. We could take our heads off; stay in bed, just make love that's all.

She didn't think that she could read it anymore. She crumpled it back up and tossed it off to the side. She crawled back into bed and curled up. Although she meant to close her eyes and sleep, she couldn't help but let his lyrics get to her.

It was so meaningful. It was full of emotion, and there was a small voice at the back of her head telling her that she was somehow involved with it all. She shook her head, shoving the small voice back to the ignorance and naïve part of her mind. She knew that he didn't like her, hell, if his actions didn't scream it, then she didn't know what would.

She closed her eyes, picturing the perfect scene before her eyes that matched every ounce of the song. And the two main characters just happened to be herself and a white-haired man…


Quick update, but short chapter.
I suppose it was meant to be like this, so yeah.
Hope you liked it! Sorry it's short.
Bye!
