When Erin got home from work, it took her no time to open Andy's mix. Inside was a CD titled, 'Erin's Awesome Playlist!' and a piece of paper gently folded. Erin took out the CD and put it in her stero. Instantly, Counting Crow's Accidentally In Love began to play. Erin took out the paper, and unfolded it. It was a hand-written note from Andy.
Erin,
I didn't really know how to express my feelings towards you, so I did it in the best way I could, music! Each song is one I like and I know you will, but it also has a double meaning, that stands for my feelings for you. I can only hope you share these feelings, and like the music, of course!
Love,
Andy
Erin smiled. But she shouldn't be smiling. This was her ex-boyfriend. There was a reason she wasn't dating him anymore. It was a good reason, right?
There was also another note, which had the list of songs on the CD, and some commentary from Andy. Erin sat on the couch to read it, while bobbing her head to 'Accidentally in Love'.
1. Accidentally In Love- Counting Crows- I know it's old, but this songs a classic, and one of my personal favorites! It also perfectly sums up my feelings for you. I liked you, Erin. I liked you from the moment I saw you. But I didn't mean to fall for you, so hard and so fast. I didn't mean to fall in love with you. It was an accident.
2. Misery-Maroon 5-The new Maroon 5 song! It's really good! But, also, it of course it sums up how I've been feelings lately. Ever since you've dumped me, I've been in Misery.
3. Hearbreak Warfare- Ah, John Mayer. I have a feeling you'd like him. And of course, I've been in a total 'Heartbreak Warfare' since you've dumped me.
4. What Did I Do To Your Heart-Jonas Brothers-Jonas Brothers gone country! And I think it's pretty decent! I think they based it off me...I mean, what DID I do to your heart? I still don't know what I did to make you leave me! Okay, maybe the Angela thing, but it was an accident!
5. The Fear You Won't Fall-Joshua Radin-"I miss you more than I should, then I thought I would, can't get my mind of off you." Such a pretty song, don't ya think?
6. Teardrops on My Guitar-Taylor Swift-There are teardrops on my guitar. And banjo. And harmonica. And piano. And microphone.
7. Dancing With Myself-Glee-It's sad when Artie does it, and it's sad when I do it. I miss dancing with you.
8. My Life Would Suck Without You-Glee- I know that it's originally by Kelly Clarkson, but I think you'd like the Glee version way better. I sure do :) You know, this in the end of this song, Will and Emma shared their first kiss ;) Will's life sucks without Emma, and mine sure does suck without you.
9. Sweet Caroline-Glee-When Puck wanted to date Rachel, he sang her this song. I thought I might try it out on you. ;)
10. Hello, Goodbye-Beatles-The Beatles! I have to get you into them, you'd love them! Anyway, this song fits perfectly, because "You say goodbye, I say hello." So true, so very true.
11. I'm Yours-Jason Mraz-Isn't this just a feel-good song? Anyway, just to let you know, I'm always yours.
12. Hey, Soul Sister- Train- This is our song, remember? And there's a good reason for it. I've dated a lot of girls, but none just like you. You're different, better different. You're my soul sister.
13. Male Prima Donna-Subtle Sexuality (feat. the NARD DAWG and Mr. Understood)-I had to put it on. Good times, good times. We should get the whole band together and make another song!
14. Take Me Home, Country Roads-John Denver- Remember this? Dwight and I were playing it in the break room on your first day, and you sang along, saying you liked this song. Then of course, you left the room right as Dwight and I were jammin' out, but you should know I only did it to impress you. And beat Dwight.
15. Party In the U.S.A.-Miley Cyrus-Or should I say, Party in Sabre...
16. Sunday Morning-Maroon 5-I know that you love Maroon 5, and I think this is a very pretty song of theirs. It's a really good first dance song...at a wedding or something...not that I've thought about it too much...
17. Nothin' On You (feat. Bruno Mars)-B.o.B.- "Beautiful girls, all over the world, I could be chasing but my time would be wasted, they got nothin' on YOU babe."
18. Smile-Uncle Kracker- "You make me smile like the sun, fall out of bed, sing like a bird, dizzy in my head, spin like a record, crazy on a Sunday night." You make me do all of those things, and, if it helps, Angela made me cry and hit things.
19- I'll Be There For You- The Remebrants- The Friends theme song! Do you remember, months ago, when you wanted me to make the mix, you wanted this song on it? Well, I remembered! You know why? Because..."I'LL BE THERE FOR YOU!" You know, we're kinda like Friends. I think we'd be Monica and Chandler, but I guess because of the situation, we'd be Ross and Rachel, because Ross and Rachel were on on-again-off-again, like us, and although we may be apart, we're always in each others hearts.
20. Secretary of Love- Andy Bernard (Nard Dawg)-Do you remember on Secretary's Day, when I got up with my gutair and harmonica and said I wrote a song for you, but I never got to play it because you threw cake in my face and dumped me, ultimately leading to the worst day of my life? Well, here's the song. I hope you like it, because it comes from the heart. And it's sung by me!
Erin read the letter three times. She listened to the songs over and over until she knew every word. The CD and letter made her laugh, smile, cry, and gave her confused feelings. She didn't know what to feel. She loved him. But she shouldn't. She was scared. But there was no reason to be. She wanted Andy back. But that was the wrong idea. She had to let her feelings out. And what better way to do that then through..song.
