Chapter 1: Cross my heart.
Harlow smiled when she heard her mom's guitar strumming. Harlow Rivers was the five year old daughter of Naomi Rivers, Saratoga, New York's most local singer/songwriter. And she was pretty smart for her age. Harlow walked down the halla\way to her mom's bedroom.
'So here's another day I'll spend away from you.
Another night I'm on another broken avenue.
My bag is ripped and worn, but then again so am I.
Take what you wanna, take what you wanna, take what you.
I miss the stupid things,
We'd go to sleep and then you'd wake me up and
kick me out of bed at 3 a.m.
Pick up the phone and hear you saying dirty things to me.
Do what you wanna, do what you wanna, do what you
Take me with you I'd start to miss you
Take me home I don't wanna be alone tonight.
And I do want to show you I will run to you for you
'til I can't stand on my own anymore
I cross my heart and hope to die
cross my heart and hope to die
Cross my heart and hope to
Hotels are all the same, you're still away from me
Another day, another dollar that I'll never see
Can I get a piece of the piece of the
Piece of something good
Lie just a little, lie just a little, lie just a
I wonder what you're doing
I wonder if you got it
I wonder how we used to ever go so long without it
And no matter where you go I'm coming back to you
Be where we oughta, be where we
Take me with you I'd start to miss you
Take me home I don't wanna be alone tonight.
And I do want to show you I will run to you for you
'til I can't stand on my own anymore
I cross my heart and hope to die
Take me with you I'd start to miss you
Take me with you I'd start to miss you
Take me with you I'd start to miss you
Take me with you I'd start to miss you
Take me with you I'd start to miss you
Take me with you I'd start to miss you
Take me with you I'd start to miss you
Take me with you I'd start to miss you
Take me with you I'd start to miss you
Take me home I don't wanna be alone tonight
And I do want to show you I will run to you for you
'til I can't stand on my own anymore
I cross my heart and hope to die
And I do want to show you I will run to you for you
'til I can't stand on my own anymore
I cross my heart and hope to die
And I do want to show you I will run to you for you
'til I can't stand on my own anymore
I cross my heart and hope to die
And I do want to show you I will run to you for you
'til I can't stand on my own anymore
I cross my heart and hope to die'
Naomi smiled when she saw Harlow standing in her doorway. "What are you doing awake?" she asked, putting her guitar down.
"I couldn't sleep. Then I heard your guitar and came down to see what you were doing. Is that the new song?" Harlow said lifting her arms so her mother would hold her.
"Yep," Naomi answered, picking her up.
"Will you sing to me?" Harlow asked, laying her head down on her moms shoulder.
Naomi smiled, "What do you want to hear?"
Harlow thought about it, "The pony song." Naomi started to sing 'pony, its okay.' Harlow smiled, finally falling asleep. Naomi picked her up and carried her back down the hallway to her bedroom. She laid her down, tucked her in and kissed her forehead whispering, "Goodnight my little angel."
The Next Day….
"Harlow are you ready yet?" Naomi called up the stairs. She sighed when she didn't receive an answer. She walked back up the stairs to Harlow's bedroom. "Har, c'mon sweetheart."
Harlow looked up. "I don't wanna go to school! I wanna go with you like Tyler gets to!"
"Honey if Sophia and Dorian can go to school, then you can. They're only four and you don't see them complaining now do you? And I'm dropping Ty of at daycare. Besides Ms. Cooper wants you in class. She says you are wonderful in class and you're a great student.
"But I wanna got to the studio with you!" Harlow yelled.
"Honey, I'm not going to the studio today. That's tomorrow. I'm going shopping today. How about this, instead of having to ride the bus home from school, I'll some pick you, your sister and brother up, okay?" Naomi started to smile.
"Really? And you'll get out of the car and not do a drive though pick up?" Harlow asked.
"Of course." Her mother answered.
"Awesome! Okay I'll go to school." Harlow happily said.
3:00 p.m.
Harlow was standing outside with the rest of the kids for parent pick up. Her sister and brother were standing in next to her. The kids started to hear a blaring radio coming closer and then it suddenly turned off. Naomi stepped out of the car pulling her sunglasses down onto her eyes. She picked up Tyler and started walking toward the school.
"Mommy!" Harlow, Sophia and Dorian yelled.
"Hey guys!" Naomi said in a cheerful voice, smiling as her kids ran toward her.
"You have to sign us out." Harlow stated.
"Where?" Naomi asked, clueless.
"Over there, follow me." Harlow lead her mother over to where she had to sign them out.
"WOW! She's really your mom?" Tristan, a kid from Harlow's class, asked.
"Yup. Cya Friday!" Harlow called over her shoulder.
