Disclaimer: I don't own Blink and I don't own my friend Liz. I also don't own the song. Gary Allan owns it.
AN: I wrote this for my friend Liz. The story just popped into my head and so I wrote it. I hope you all enjoy it. Tell me what you think of it. Liz, I hope you like it. Tell me what you think.
Now on to the story.
The One
Blink slowly walked down the street. He knew he had to tell Liz the truth. He knew he needed to let her know that she meant everything to him. He had to fins her. He just had to tell her.
When Blink walked into Tibby's, he immediately spotted her in a corner booth talking to Jack and some other newsies. He cautiously walked over to the table.
"Liz, can I talk to ya?" Blink asked when he reached the table.
"Sure."
No rush though I need your touch
I won't rush your heart
Until you feel on solid ground
Until your strength is found
"What is it Blink?" Liz asked when they had sat down at a different table.
"Look Liz, I don't wanna rush your heart or anything but I've gotta tell ya." Blink said staring down at the table.
"Tell me what?" Liz asked confused.
"I really really like you Liz. I have for a long time."
"Blink, I'm sorry but…" Liz started to say but Blink's hand stopped her.
"I know what you're gonna say. I'll stand in the background. You'll be the one that shines, not me."
I'll fill those canyons in your soul
Like a river leads you home
And I'll walk a step behind
In the shadows so you shine
Just ask it will be done
And I will prove my love
Until you're sure that I'm "the one"
Somebody else was here before
He treated you unkind
And broken wings need time to heal
Before a heart can fly, girl
"Look Liz, I know you've been hurt before and I know that your heart needs time to heal. Well, I'll wait until your heart's ready to love again."
Tears came to Liz's eyes as she listened.
"I can fill the canyons. I'll walk behind you. I'll prove that I love you Liz."
I'll fill those canyons in your soul
Like a river leads you home
And I'll walk a step behind
In the shadows so you shine
Just ask it will be done
And I will prove my love
Until you're sure that I'm "the one"
Trust in me and you will find a heart so true
All I wanna do is give the best of me to you
And stand beside you
"You gotta trust me Liz. If you look deep enough you'll see that my love is true. I just wanna give you the best of me. I wanna be beside you."
Just ask it will be done
And I will prove my love
Until you're sure that I'm "the one"
"Please Liz. Give me a chance. Ask me to do anything and I'll do it. I'll prove to you that I love you until you're sure and your hearts sure that I'm the one for you."
Liz just sat there with tears falling down her cheeks. She couldn't believe it. She didn't know what to do or say. Blink reached across the table and gently wiped away the tears.
"Please Liz. Just give me a chance." Blink pleaded.
"All right. I'll give you a chance." Liz said with a smile on her face.
