I waited at a high top table waiting for Drake to arrive. People started to take the stage I started to get worried. I started to have that feeling again when I knew he was cheating. I was looking eagerly through the glass door bobbing my head as people walked in front of me.
"Hey you showed." I heard a deep voice ask from behind me and wrap there arms around me for a hug.
"Hey… Jared." I turned around quickly getting him to release me from his grasp.
"I'm glad you showed." He said taking the open seat next to me.
I always got a mix signals from him I didn't know if he was gay or likes me. He was super sweet to me always telling me how great I was and how much he liked me but not once did he try to make a move.
"I wanted to come but then Drake came home early and he wanted to spend time together and things were just a bit crazy." I said half laughing.
"Oh… so where is he?"
"Umm… I don't know he said he was going to show but he's late and I don't want to seem needy and call him so if he comes he comes if not I can still enjoy the show."
"Yeah… I see well can I sit with you for a bit."
"Sure… yeah come on." I said breaking off half of my rice crispy treat they made home made there and offered it to him.
"So you want to hear Sea of Love." He asked taking a bit of the rice crispy treat.
"Of course I never heard it sung the way you do it and it's so beautiful, all the songs you do are great." I said getting red in the face.
"I think that's the nicest thing anyone has ever said." He took my hand and kissed it softly all I could do it smile.
"Hey dude you made it." Jared said looking be hind me. I turned and it was Drake looking at Jared's hand on mine.
"He Drake did you bring your guitar?"
"Yeah I got it."
"Well I got to go I'm up next. Ill play your song for you." Jared said getting up and walking toward the stage.
"So you're not seeing him?" Drake asked shaking his head in disbelief.
"No, he's not even into me. He's never even made a move on me."
"He's playing your song!" Drake he took a request so does every DJ in California! Drake please just sit down baby please. What took you so long?"
"Ash you look really pretty."
"Thanks."
"You wore that on our first date."
"I know that's why I wore it, it's kind of like our first date all over again since were trying to start over."
"Hi my names Jared I'm gonna play some songs for you I hope you like them."
I was mesmerized by his voice he was a mix between David Bowie and Mic Jagger. I wasn't even paying attention to what Drake was saying it was drowned out by his voice. I think Drake was even impressed because he finally stopped talking and started to watch Jared. He had the crowd he had everyone all the girls and boys. That's why e sent me mix signals I couldn't put my finger on his sexuality.
Jared took a break and started sipping on his water.
"He's good isn't he?"
"He's okay."
"I was thinking about asking Josh to come and see him. You know he's always looking for new people."
"I don't think he's that's good Ash."
"This one is for a very special girl out there tonight." Jared told the crowd in rock star fashion but locked eyes with me and smiled.
Drake looked at me and almost growled in anger.
"Ash who does he think he is?" He said snarling like a pit bull.
"Drake be quite for a minute." I shot back. I didn't understand why he didn't trust me I never did anything wrong I was nothing but the perfect girlfriend.
He finished the song and walked off the stage and right towards me. I stood up to give him a hug.
"That was great! I loved it." I squealed.
"Thanks Ash." He said wiping the sweat from his brow. "Drake how did you like it?"
Drake was taking off guard by the question it was like a child asking a grown up if they approved.
"Yeah it was good it was definitely different. I'm gonna go on now."
Drake went up on the little stage some people awed and the others whispered nasty things saying that he was just there to show them up. Drake took it all in stride that's what I loved about him he was so strong!
"Well not to sound like a broken record but here are some new songs I had just written I'll try it out on you guys but there all for my fiancé."
"I turned red when people looked back at were he was sitting I smiled at him and watched him set up his guitar.
The first song he played was down we fall the song he san to me on Christmas it was such a beautiful song I loved it and hoped it would go on his next CD because I thought other would like it too.
I loved his voice and the way he took over the stage. When he played he looked at me like I was the only one in the room.
"This next song I wrote recently like last week, Its call It's Only time."
I was taking back by the song it was up beat and happy but the lyrics were upsetting if this was supposed to be about me then I think we have more problems then we thought.
"I'm giving in
it's
coming out
you gave it away
I'm thinking about
Not taking
it
you're faking it
you're such a sad girl
sad girl
were
did you leave
why did you go
what were you thinking
I'd like
to know
If walking away is all it's about
Then why did it take
so long to figure out
She said I wasn't even here
She said
I wasn't even
She said I wasn't even here
She said I wasn't"
(Its only time- Drake Bell Its only time.)
Drake didn't even announce the next song he just started playing. Jared looked at me with disbelief Drake still was smiling at me. How could he say that in front of all these people. People we didn't even know!
Break me down enough I'll
take your side
And all your attitude
I would like for you to
just decide
What you're gonna do
Maybe I'll decide I've had
enough
Of what you put me through
Then perhaps you could return
my stuff
And all my records too
my 78's and my 45's give them
back
(Break me Down- Drake Bell Its only time.)
I didn't even wit for the end of the song I just got up and walked out of the coffee house. He never talked about how he felt he was to busy trying to fix what he messed up maybe this was the only way he could tell me. But there is no way in hell that doing it in front of a bunch people we didn't know and announcing that it was for me was the right way to do it. I was so upset I just sat in my car crying thinking maybe this is why he treats me like he does; maybe this is how he always felt.
There was knocking on my passenger side window I looked up and it was Jared. He opened the door and sat down.
"Hey… are you okay?" He asked putting his hand on my back.
"No, I don't know why he would say that stuff about me, or sing it what ever!" I said putting my head on the steering wheel.
"Maybe you misinterpreted it?"
"Please I must not have been the only one because you gave me that look too!"
"Why don't you wait around to ask him."
"I'm done waiting around for him. I'm just gonna go home." Jared got out of the car and shut the door I sped out of the parking lot not even saying goodbye.
