I walked upstairs, leaving young Abby in the capable hands of the TV. As soon as I reached my room, I pulled my cell phone from my pocket, locked the door, and dialed the 7 digits that seemed forever imprinted in my memory. I keep debating on weather or not to hit talk. Finally I pushed it, and let it ring. it rang 1...2...3...4
"Hello" said the familiar voice on the other end.
I sat there like an idiot.
"Hello?" repeated the voice. "
Hey" I mustered out, afraid they would hang up.
"Jude, Is that you?" they asked.
"Yea" I said, feeling relief that they recognized me.
"Do you need something" the other voice said sounding impatient.
"I need you" I replied, "To hold me and ell me everything is ok" I said on the verge of tears.
"Jude, I'm Halifax, there's nothing I can do"
"just hearing your voice helps Tommy" I said trying to sound sincere even though her had been rude to me. He replied, but his time, his voice was softer, and more sincere
"Sorry about snapping on you, I'm really stressed right now, nothing is going right, and I was just fired from my job"
"I'm sorry, Tommy. But I called for a reason, I need you to her this song, I don't know if I like it or not..."
"Shoot"
"Should I sing, or just read it"
"Sing, I haven't heard your voice NOT on CD in a while. "Ok, here it goes
"Happy"
Filling up my empty days with red wine
Wonder what you think of me?
Lying in the grass alone and wasted
Nothing's how it used to be
I wanna be the first to call and tell you
Yesterday I heard the news
I hear you oughtta be congratulated
So I guess that's what I'll do
I'm so happy for you
I could cry
Yeah, I'm so elated
Cross my heart and hope to die
I don't think about you every night
Before I close my eyes
I'm so happy for you baby,
I could cry.
Listen to the sound of my head pounding
Wish that it was make-believe
Praying for the skies to open up and
Wash away your memory
I can walk around with a pretty face on
Even when I'm black and blue
what's the point in telling everybody
I'm not over you.
I'm so happy for you
I could cry
Yeah, I'm so elated
Cross my heart and hope to die
I don't think about you every night
Before I close my eyes
I'm so happy for you baby,
I could cry.
Cry about the love we used to have
Cry that I won't ever get you back
filling up my empty days with red wine
Wonder what you think of me?
I'm so happy for you
I could cry
Yeah, I'm so elated
Cross my heart and hope to die
I'm so happy for you
So, so happy for you
I don't think about you every night
Before I close my eyes
I'm so happy for you baby,
I could cry.
