Okay so Jack says we should forget everything that happened.
To be honest he didn't even say sorry.
Alex called me he said that he wanted to talk about something.
Brilliant.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
I waited inside Starbuck's and watch the rain fall down the window.
I sipped my coffee.
I hope Alex isn't gonna say anything bad.
I then saw him walk through the door drenched.
He then saw me and smiled.
He then sat next to me.
"God it's cold out there," he said shivering.
I picked up my hoodie and wrapped it round him.
"Thanks Jess," he said.
"So what did you want to talk about?" I asked.
He grinned.
Oh no what's he gonna do?
"You know yesterday when I found you?" he said.
I nodded.
"I was telling the truth your voice is beautiful, I was wandering if you'd consider doing a duet for a school project I'm doing," he said.
My eyes widened.
"Please Jess, I'm failing music as it is and I need a female vocalist in the song I wrote," he begged.
I looked at him.
Brilliant! This is all I need!
I nodded.
He then kissed my cheek.
"Thanks Jess you're a life saver," he said.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
I was laying on Alex's sofa waiting for him to finish setting up.
I had to learn the lyrics he wrote as well.
"Okay I'm ready Jess come over here," he said.
I sat on the stool and stared at the camera and mic that was pointing at me.
"Why's there a camera?" I said.
"Oh I'm making a video as well," he said.
I rolled my eyes at him.
I put on the headphones and listened to the recording of Alex's singing.
He woke up from dreaming and put on his shoes
Started making his way past 2 in the morning
He hasn't been sober for days
Leaning now into the breeze
Remembering Sunday, he falls to his knees
They had breakfast together
But two eggs don't last
Like the feeling of what he needs
Now this place seems familiar to him
She pulled on his hand with a devilish grin
She led him upstairs, she led him upstairs
Left him dying to get in
Forgive me, I'm trying to find
My calling, I'm calling at night
I don't mean to be a bother,
But have you seen this girl?
She's been running through my dreams
And it's driving me crazy, it seems
I'm going to ask her to marry me
Even though she doesn't believe in love,
He's determined to call her bluff
Who could deny these butterflies?
They're filling his gut
Waking the neighbors, unfamiliar faces
He pleads though he tries
But he's only denied
Now he's dying to get inside
Forgive me, I'm trying to find
My calling, I'm calling at night
I don't mean to be a bother,
But have you seen this girl?
She's been running through my dreams
And it's driving me crazy, it seems
I'm going to ask her to marry me
The neighbors said she moved away
Funny how it rained all day
I didn't think much of it then
But it's starting to all make sense
Oh, I can see now that all of these clouds
Are following me in my desperate endeavor
To find my whoever, wherever she may be
I then took a deep breath and started my part.
I'm not coming back
I've done something so terrible
I'm terrified to speak
But you'd expect that from me
I'm mixed up, I'll be blunt, now the rain is just
Washing you out of my hair and out of my mind
Keeping an eye on the world,
From so many thousands of feet off the ground, I'm over you now
I'm at home in the clouds, and towering over your head
I then took off the headphones and sighed.
Alex pressed a button on his laptop and grinned.
"Well done Jess, this is now a brilliant song," he said.
I felt myself going red.
