So okay, this is the last chapter of my songfic. The culmination of all my writer's block, corny quips, lousy ideas and unending bout with LittleBloodyJ (love yah J!) about LD. This song is entitled 1,2,3,4 (I Love You) by the Plain White T's. Here goes everything…and I'll be writing in Sarah's POV coz it's always Chuck, Chuck, Chuck. Sarah's turn!
I arrived at La Casa De Bartowski on time—as promised to Chuck. I arrived there and wasn't surprised because I was warned of this development beforehand. Turning the ignition off, I got off my car and walked through the gates and I was shocked…no amused to see Jeffster! Standing on opposite ends of a made up stage holding guitars and illuminated by two spotlights focused on them and then I heard strumming and then Lester started counting…
1-2-1-2-3-4
Then a different voice popped out. Somehow I knew that voice, so familiar…
Give me more loving than I've ever had
Make me feel better when I'm feeling sad
Tell me I'm special even though I know I'm not
Chuck. It was Chuck's voice. I smiled.
Make me feel good when I hurt so bad
Barely getting mad
I'm so glad I found you
I love being around you
Then a third spotlight was turned on and it was focused on Chuck—rather his back but he carried on singing.
You make it easy
Its as easy as 1-2-1-2-3-4
Then he turned around and he looked me straight in the eye and help up his fingers in time with the song…
There's only one thing
To Do
Three words
For you
(I love you) I love you
And at that he smiled at me. Warmly. Hugely. Cutely. I didn't know how to respond. I help a hand up at my mouth and laughed. He played his guitar again, swinging to the rhythm of the music and looking at me and smiling…
There's only one way to say
Those three words
That's what I'll do
(I love you) I love you
Whenever he reaches the last line he would always look me straight in the eye and I could feel it. He meant it. He was telling me he loved me. Oh how my heart jumped for joy. Little did I know, it wasn't over…
Give me more loving from the very start
Piece me back together when I fall apart
Tell me things you never even tell your closest friends
Then a fourth spotlight was turned on and I saw the Buymore staff in the background—each with a gardenia in their hand and they approached me one by one…
Make me feel good when I hurt so bad
You're the best that I've had
And I'm so glad I found you
I love being around you
By the time everyone has given me a gardenia, my hands were so full and I was starting to get teary then Morgan appeared and he gave me a seat and took the flowers and put it in a vase. I couldn't help think he knew this would happen. "Damn you Chuck Bartowski." I thought with a smile.
You make it easy
It's easy as 1-2-1-2-3-4
Then a LCD Projector was spewing out pictures of us together. Smiling. Laughing. Eating. Snuggling on the couch. Talking with Ellie and Devon. Hanging out in the apartment. Random pictures and I knew where they got it. "Thank you Casey" I murmured to myself. And I wondered how many people had he convinced to join his little plan. I turned my attention to the slideshow and grinned at how the slide would count with the song…
There's only one thing
To Do
Three words
For you
(I love you)
I
He pointed to himself…
love
…then he made a heart with his hand and put it directly above his heart
you
Then he pointed at me.
There's only one way to say
Those three words
Then I saw Morgan walking towards me and he gave me a stuff toy with the word "i" sewn in it.
That's what I'll do
(I love you) I love you
(I love you) I love you
Then Ellie appeared with another stuff toy with "Love" sewn in it. I hugged her and thanked her and I swore I saw a tear fall down her cheek.
You make it easy
It's easy as 1 2 1 2 3 4
Then finally Devon appeared holding a stuff toy behind him, approaching me he gave it to me in an "awesome" fashion together with a huge smile. And just as expected, the word "You" was sewn. My family was complete.
There's only one thing
To Do
Three words
For you
(I love you) I love you
He then started walking to me and he went down the steps with the spotlight following him and I saw that the place was covered in petals—most especially the path he was trudging—towards me.
There's only one way to say
Those three words
That's what I'll do
(I love you) I love you
(I love you) I love you
1-2-3-4
Then he stopped right in front of me and said to me the last few lines of the song…
I love you
(I love you) I love you.
By the end of his performance, I was bawling. I hugged him tightly and told him, "i Love You too."
NB: And eeend. Hahahaha! If I remember correctly, the best way to write it was "i" because in loving someone else, you put yourself last. Then "Love" because love is important and lastly, "You" because when you're in love you put the person you love above everything else. Making Love and the person you love "You" more important than yourself.
