Derrick: Can I hear a guitar song now?
Massie: Sorry, I can't. My brother Chris is in town from L.A. for the weekend.
Derrick: Ok, but your going to play for me by next week ;)
Then my phone died.
A week later I was sitting on my laptop reading Cute Is What We Aim For's new blog when I got a text message.
Derrick: Block, Meet me at the park. And bring your guitar.
The park was close to my house, so I decided to walk instead of having Isaac drive me.
I got there and I saw Derrick sitting on the bench texting.
He looked up when he saw me and motioned for me to sit next to him. He put his phone away and turned his attention towards me.
"So do you sing too?" He asked me.
"Yeah, but very badly," I told him, truthfully. "Okay, this is Simple Enough by NeverShoutNever!"
I started strummimg and singing, which is alot tougher to learn than it looks.
"And if I was a sailor, I'd sail the seven seas to tell you baby, I don't want you to leave. Cause see this world
such a sad place and without your
pretty face, I'm sure it'll wind up much worse. And I know that you'll see some day that I can't live without you,
and I know what I say is true
'Cause I'm still stuck on you girl. I'm in love, from the first time I laid my eyes on you. Shu-do-do-do-oohh,
There's nothing I can do-o-o,
and I'm in love from the first time I laid my, lips on yours, now your walking out my door and there's nothing I
can do-o-ooo..." I sang and
finished the song. I looked up to see that he's staring at me.
"Wow....that was amazing!" He told me, smiling. I was suprised. I thought that I was really bad.
"Thanks." I said. We just sat the for a minute, smiling at each other, then I saw Alicia and Dylan walking towards
us waving. I decided to leave.
"See you later." I said as I walked off. He was still sitting there staring at the bench. Probably because he was
embarrassed to be seen with me in public.
As I slowly walked home, I replayed those few minutes with him in my head and smiled. And just like that I was like
every other girl that graduated from BOCD. I had a crush on Derrick Harrington...
