for Marit, another update!
I also updated the summary...hopefully more surprises to come.
hmmm...what else. Oh yeah, i wrote the stupid song, so pretend you like it! haha, j/k.
R&R pweeeeeeeease!
"This is a soundtrack for our movie, would you tell me when we get to the best part?"
"Come on Julianna, we have to go!" Chris was begging her to hurry up getting ready. She obviously didn't lie when she said it took forever for her to get ready.
"I'm coming!" She opened the bathroom door, almost tripping trying to put her left shoe on in a hurry. "Lemme just grab my keys." She brushed by the coffee table so fast, a piece of paper flew off and fell to the floor. "What's this?" she asked as she put the paper back on the table.
"Oh that, I was just working on a song during your hours in the bathroom getting ready," he smiled, making fun of her. "I promise I'll play it for you when we get back, but we have to go!"
Julianna couldn't figure out why he was in such a rush, the buses were always late anyway, but she just assumed he didn't know that.
She saw the city lights, it was dark out. She didn't know where she was meeting Chris, but she figured if she didn't find him in ten minutes she could always hop on the bus heading back. "10 minutes," she muttered, "Ten minutes or I'll go right back to Nathan. Hear that God? I give you 10 minutes, send me whichever way." She had never really been a religious person, but she had always been indecisive, so she felt like leaving it up to someone else, like always.
She grabbed her bag out of the compartment above her seat. Her legs hurt after only standing up twice during the trip; once to use the bathroom, and once to grab a snack at one of the places they stopped.
"Haley!" She heard someone calling her name as soon as she got off the bus. Wow, it had taken Chris less than 10 seconds to spot her, she had to take that as a sign right? "Haley, snap out of it," she whispered to herself, she knew she was being irrational. She looked up and smiled at Chris.
Wait a minute? Was he holding some girl's hand? Weird… She gave him a half smile so he knew she had heard and seen him, and started the walk through the crowd where the two were standing.
"Hey Haley." He actually looked genuinely happy to see her. "What is up with him?" she wondered.
"Hey," she smiled.
"How was your bus ride?" he asked, totally mocking her now. She was feeling like the old Chris was back for at least a second.
"Thrilling, thanks for informing me I was going to be sitting for nine hours straight," she replied.
"Oh yeah, Haley…This is Julianna, I met her when I first got here, I stayed with her last night." Haley was confused again, so was he dating someone already?
"Wow, nice to meet you Julianna," she replied, trying to fake a smile. Why was Haley jealous all the sudden?
They all started the walk back to Julianna's apartment. Chris informed both Julianna and Haley how he had booked a hotel room for that night so Haley would have a place to stay. Haley decided to come back with them to the apartment so she could hear all about the stuff she had to do before the meeting with the guy from Maverick, Wednesday. She was actually getting rather excited about it, it was kind of an adrenaline rush getting such a big opportunity. Julianna wouldn't stop bugging Chris about playing the song she had accidentally found before, and he promised to play it as soon as they got back. Haley was still kind of confused about Julianna and Chris' relationship, but she figured out Chris definitely seemed different than back in Tree Hill. Kind of well, nice?
"Chris please play the song! Please!" Julianna begged as soon as they got back.
"Fiiiiiine, calm down Jules!" he joked. He helped Haley carry her stuff in and had her sit on the couch with Julianna. She looked surprisingly content , and he kind of had some hope that everything would all work out. He grabbed his guitar from the case, and sat down on one of the floor pillows near the couch. The two girls were a very attentive audience.
"So, it's only about half done, but anyway, I'll tell you what it's about when I'm done."
Your brown hazel eyes
That's all he knew about you
That's all the stories I've heard
Dad told me your middle name once
But I've forgotten it twice
Mom said she's sorry
She wanted to tell you herself
She wanted you to know,
You weren't the only one
You're not alone
That's all I wanna say
Even though you'll never hear me
No matter how loud I speak
I wish I knew if you've heard of me
'Cause I want to believe
There's someone out there
Someone like me, but just like you
Just so you know…
You're not alone
That's all I wanna say
Even though you'll never hear me
No matter how loud I speak.
"Wow…Chris" she didn't really know what to say, she didn't really know what it was about.
"It's about my half-sister. I never met her. She's 4 years younger than me. My dad told me about her a few times, he only saw her once. She has brown hazel eyes, like the songs says. I grew up with my dad after my mom ran away. She ended up marrying another man, and had a daughter. My half-sister. When she told my dad about my sister, she wrote it all in a note she planned to give her on her 16th birthday. Since my dad hasn't talked to my mom since, I have no idea if she ever got the note. I just hope she knows I'm somewhere, that I exist…
Haley swallowed hard, something about that story sounded familiar, she just couldn't put a finger on it. "Something sounds different," she whispered. Julianna and Chris both looked over, she didn't whisper quiet enough.
"What?" Chris asked.
"Nothing, I just wow, can't believe how late it is! I'm kind of tired," she replied.
"Lemme take you to the hotel, Haley. And yes Jules, I know where it is, I looked it up online after I called," he smiled at Jules answering what he knew would be her question.
"Thanks for walking me to the hotel Chris…thanks for taking care of me," she replied.
"I know, you'd be lost without me!" he joked. He was being the same old Tree Hill guy, again.
"Ya know Chris Keller…you're different around Julianna?" she replied, trying to beat him at his own game.
"What?" He was actually playing the confusion game well.
"You're, well…nicer around her," she replied.
"Oh Haley, that's just your imagination, again," he laughed. She could however tell he was hiding something. As they walked into the hotel, she contemplated telling him something about the song before. Something just didn't add up. She felt like she'd either heard it before or knew a piece of it.
Oh well, it was too late for her to think about it anymore. Chris checked her in and left her with a bit of his sarcastic humor and told her he'd call her in the morning with plans. Haley rushed up to the room to call Nathan, if he didn't pick up now she was going to have to call Luke again.
I assume you can guess.
