A/N: Alright so here's the second part, the NICE second part, to this now twoshot. I obviously, seriously tanked in the first one, so this is a 'save' … pfst yeah whatever, I don't save, this is a make up. I had them brake up, so this is a make up chapter... Oh and I should give credit for this whole chapter to a fellow author that suggested this idea to me in the first place. She even gave me the song idea which is a perfect fit in my opinion. It's called Hey Stephen by Taylor Swift! This chapter in Miley's POV...
Hey Lilly
A minute after the door shut, the pictures burnt, I walked away. I stepped up in my truck and started driving home. I knew she was lying. Even though she threw insults at me, there was a moment she had. That moment when she stopped to look at the picture, of the two of us sharing a kiss on the beach. Those few seconds when we both looked at it, she had felt something for me again.
I wasn't going to go back and make her say it, because I knew she'd deny it. But I know Lilly and I could tell she didn't mean everything she said to me. Even if most of it was true. But I won't forget that look in her eye while dropping the match on our favorite picture. She was staring off and looking lost. After the match fell, her expression read almost as though she didn't mean too. Then completely switched gears and shut the door in my face.
Now the more I think about her, I can't help but want her back more. As many times as I've told her I could change, yet I haven't, I can't blow it this time. I won't blow it. I'm going to get her back. I just can't help myself from thinking about her.
As I pulled up to my house an idea suddenly hit me, a song that's what I'll do. I hadn't written in a long time, but I'm determined to let Lilly know how I feel and that I really mean it.
A few days had gone by, but I still kept myself up in my room, writing away at every chance I had. I sang along with the notes on my guitar, crossed some lyrics out here and there. Finally it was the weekend, it was Saturday evening and I had just finished.
Saturday nights Lilly and I were usually out, because her mom was gone, so she had nothing to do. That means she's probably bored at home right now. I'll just text her to make sure.
Lil, are u bored at home now? U don't have to answer, I'll just wait a minute and then know that u are.
Now hopefully that would work. Seeing as how we haven't talked in almost a week, I'm sure I'll just wait a minute and find out on my own. But to my surprise, it didn't work that way. My phone was still in hand and suddenly vibrated with a text from her.
Yeah I am
Perfect. Now was the perfect timing for this. So I grabbed my guitar and the paper of lyrics, then walked quickly outside to my car. I drove straight to her house and on my way it began to lightly rain.
"Shit, this'll mess up my stuff if I don't get inside." I said to myself. Then I pulled up in front of her house. I saw a light on in the front window of the living room. Great, she's right there, she'll let me in.
I ran from my truck to her front door and knocked a few times. "Lilly stop watching TV and let me in please." The rain started to fall harder. I yelled in the door again. "Shit, it's raining harder now. I don't blame you for leaving me out here Lil, but I've got my guitar and-"
"Alright come in." She cut me off, opening the door and pulling me inside. "I wouldn't want your guitar to get ruined." Lilly sighed.
I was slightly damp, but took my jacket off of my guitar, that I had protected it with. "Yeah thanks, guess I was kinda stupid to leave the case behind, but I didn't think it would rain. Anyway, it looks fine."
"That's good news. But you've got some nerve you know. Why are you here anyway?" She asked, hands on her hips.
"Well I heard that you're bored, so I thought I'd come show you something."
"You only heard because you text me, which was kind of surprising by the way."
"No you know what was surprising, was the fact that you replied. Although thinking back, it really wasn't that big. You only replied just because I called you, Lil." I smiled.
"What? Pfst I didn't...I mean not just for that-"
"Oh and you didn't let me in because of my guitar, you did because you still care about me. Plus I used your nickname again and you know I still care about you." I said with triumph.
Lilly hesitated for a moment, at a loss for words. Then spoke up. "Alright, so what if I still am? But it's raining outside and I'm bored." Lilly sighed.
"What if you still are? Lilly, why do deny something like that? In fact why does every couple deny mistakes and stuff? Why can't we just admit the shit we've done and move on. It'd be more simple."
"Alright, I still have feelings for you then. Now what did you want to show me?"
I smiled at her comment, then moved along. "I wanted to show you how I really feel too. I know I keep saying I can change, well this time I really mean it." I pulled out the folded paper from my pocket, of the song and then moved my guitar the right way. "I wrote this for you Lil. Now if you have a few minutes, which I know you do, I'd like to sing it for you."
I walked over to her living room and sat on a couch, Lilly sat on a small one across from me. I set my guitar the right way on my lap, closed my eyes and started singing gently.
Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm
Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm
Yeah
Hey Lilly, I know looks can be deceiving
But I know I saw a light in you
And as we walked we were talking
I didn't say half the things I wanted too
Of all the girls tossing rocks at your window
I'll be the one waiting there even when it's cold
Hey Lilly, girl you might have me believing
I don't always have to be alone
Just before I started the chorus, I opened my eyes and stared into Lilly's. She was listening intently. She also looked in my eyes, which held some sort of apologetic gaze. But only for a second. Then I changed notes and sang louder.
'Cause I can't help it if you look like an angel
Can't help it if I wanna kiss you in the rain so
Come feel this magic I've been feeling since I met you
Can't help it if there's no one else
Mmm, I can't help myself
Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm
Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm
Hey Lilly, I've been holding back this feeling
So I got some things to say to you
I've seen it all, so I thought
But I never seen nobody shine the way you do
Ever since I said she looks like an angel, our eyes locked and didn't break contact.
The way you walk, way you talk, way you say my name
It's beautiful, wonderful, don't you ever change
Hey Lilly, why are people always leaving?
I think you and I should stay the same
'Cause I can't help it if you look like an angel
Can't help it if I wanna kiss you in the rain so
Come feel this magic I've been feeling since I met you
Can't help it if there's no one else
Mmm, I can't help myself
Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm
Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm
They're dimming the street lights, you're perfect for me
Why aren't you here tonight?
I'm waiting alone now, so come on and come out
And pull me near and shine, shine, shine
Hey Lilly, I could give you fifty reasons
Why I should be the one you choose
All those other girls, well, they're beautiful
But would they write a song for you?
Lilly finally cracked and a smirk appeared across her face. Now I was proud of what I wrote and that it had made her smile. I kept smiling along with her.
Haha, I can't help it if you look like an angel
Can't help it if I wanna kiss you in the rain so
Come feel this magic I've been feeling since I met you
Can't help it if there's no one else
Mmm, I can't help myself
If you look like an angel
Can't help it if I wanna kiss you in the rain so
Come feel this magic I've been feeling since I met you
Can't help it if there's no one else
Mmm, I can't help myself
Mmm Mmm
Myself
Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm
Can't help myself
I can't help myself
Oh oh oh
Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm
Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm
I gently strummed the last few notes to a stop and then took a deep breath.
"Well there it is, now you don't have to say anything, but that's what I wrote for you." I smiled nervously.
"Miles, that was amazing. Thanks so much. So what are you expecting here anyway?"
"Well I'm not expecting an apology. But I'd like to give one. I know that I've always said I'll change and I never have, but this time I really mean it."
"Oh, so you think singing me a song would make everything all better?" Lilly said, folding her arms.
"Yes? … No?" I was confused now.
"Actually yes, I was surprised that it did what it did, but the words you thought out and the feeling you sang it with, it all just really fits and I believe you and I want to thank you."
"That means a lot Lil."
"No problem. And I'm sorry too. I should be the one apologizing. I shouldn't have done what I did. I was just angry and tired of what you had become. I couldn't deal with that drama anymore, so I was trying too leave you, but I still felt an emptiness without you in my life, even if it hadn't been a week yet, I still couldn't stop thinking about you."
"I couldn't stop thinking about you either and that's why I really want to change, this time I mean it. I won't just think about myself, I'm always going too listen to you and I want you to know that you're a huge part of my life. And I wrote you that song, saying how I feel about you."
"I believe you Miles. And I'll never burn any memory again, cause we need it." Lilly smiled.
"Thanks Lil. But don't worry, we can always make new ones too."
I smirked at her, then scooted next to her and got out my phone. I held it up and turned it around, ready to take a picture. Then I put my hand on the back of her neck, pulling her in to kiss me. As we kissed for several seconds, I took a picture. Then I pulled away and looked at my phone.
"Perfect. Nice shot Miles." Lilly told me.
"Thanks. I told you I can't help myself. And you're not so bad yourself." I smiled, then leaned in for a longer and memorable kiss. One to where our lips and tongues reunited again after a long time.
"Hey it's still raining, do you wanna go kiss-"
"You read my mind." I replied as we ran out the door and began kissing a nice kiss in the rain.
A/N: Ending lame? Sorry, I think that happens a lot with me, lol. Although let me know how the rest was, so review... Peace!
