Chapter 3 " Raviv, Oh Raviv…."
You,
You're always there for me
When I need you most
Day and night
you're by my side
Protecting me
When I feel like crashing
down
You seem to be around
There you are
You're not that far
cause
"Wow…" Raviv said listening closely to the lyrics of the song.
Whenever,
where ever baby
You'll protect me
No matter what
Hold me
tight with all your might And you'll never let me go
Protecting me
"You hate this song huh?" Aly said sounding disappointed.
"No. I love it. It's almost as if I can relate to it… somehow." Raviv said. Aly wondered if he meant her or someone else… like Ashley Tisdale.
"Oh… that's awesome." Aly said trying to conceal her excitement and grief.
You
listen to me when
I speak out loud and you
You know when my
hearts been bent
When my life's tumbling around
You take me
off the ground
You tell me everything's ok
Raviv was amazed by the music and the lyrics. The song finished just as they pulled up
the driveway to Aly's house. Her smile faded a little bit as she saw her house. No, no, no! I don't want him to leave me… maybe he can come in for a while… it's not even dark yet so I don't see how that would be a problem. Maybe he could watch me and Amanda practice! Aly turned to look at Phil.
"Do you want to stay at my house for a little bit… watch a movie… listen to my band
practice…" Aly said doing the Keely pout.
"Um… sure!" Raviv said. He pulled the keys out of the ignition and joined Aly on
walking to her house. Aly opened the door for Raviv revealing a cozy looking living room. Aly grabbed his hand and lead him to Aly and Aj's massive music room. There were her guitars and her piano and even the two teddy bears. Everything was there. Raviv eyed the room until his eyes came to the drum set. There was a twinkle in his eye that told Aly he wanted to play them.
"Seeing as how my band isn't here… and I want to practice do you think you could drum for me?" Aly said. She looked up and him as he smiled.
"There is nothing I would to for you Aly." Raviv said over his shoulder. As he turned his head back around he tripped over a few cords and lost his balance. He didn't fall but he knew that Aly was laughing behind him…. Yea, he was right. Aly was concealing it by locking her jaw in its place and only letting out a small snort.
"You okay?" Aly said. She finally regained her composure.
"Yea." Raviv said laughing at his own screw up. So much for being smooth. Oh well. Raviv thought as he sat down and grabbed the drumsticks off the ground.
"Okay Raviv. Just listen the first time and then you can drum along the second time… it's a new song so no one has is going to hear it before you. Okay?" Aly said looking at him with playful eyes and a serious tone.
"Got it… play for me." Raviv said putting his hands behind his head and leaning back.
"Okay… it's called 'How I Feel Inside'." Aly sat down on the stool and picked up her guitar and strummed the note to the song.
"I'm still moving and I'm still breathing
But it feels like my heart stopped beating
When you're around I can't keep my composure
So safe and sound 'til I blow my cover
You make it so hard to hide the way I feel
But you make sure I keep it real
So complicated how I feel inside
There's no more feelings left me to hide
I can't run away from this anymore
Gotta tell you before you shut the door
Got to make this clear tonight
That I want you in my life
I'm still alive and singing too
A special song written just for you
I can't keep it in much longer now
But I don't wanna wonder if you'll turn me down
I'm so scared but there no turning back now
So complicated how I feel inside
There's no more feelings left me to hide
I can't run away from this anymore
Gotta tell you before you shut the door
Got to make this clear tonight
That I want you in my life
No more game no, no
I just need you to now
How I feel about you
I hope you feel the same way too
So complicated how I feel inside
There's no more feelings left me to hide
I can't run away from this anymore
Gotta tell you before you shut the door
Got to make this clear tonight
That I want you in my life
So complicated how I feel inside" Aly lowered her guitar and looked at Phil. He was in aw at her song.
"Um…." Raviv said trying to find words for her song
"What kind of "Um…." Was that?" Aly said once again fearing for the worst.
"A good um. I loved it… But can I tell you something?"
