Disclaimer: I do not own the song Red or Glee
"This last song I wrote, and it's very special to me and I only wish someone could hear it. So here's Red. Enjoy."
I start strumming my guitar as I remember learning how to play guitar with Darren.
Flashback
It's a rainy and Darren and I are sitting on the floor. Darren is behind me resting his hands on top of mine.
"Put your fingers here and here and lightly strum the strings like this. That's an A chord." he says slowly taking his hands off of mine. I play the chord a few times and he rests his chin on my shoulder. "You're a quick learner." He says turning his head to look at me. "That's because I have a great teacher." I say as I turn my head to press my lips to his. I feel his tongue trace my lower lip asking for entrance. I open my mouth slightly and start to explore his mouth. I sit the guitar on the floor and lay on top of him the guitar lessons completely forgotten.
End flashback
I close my eyes and start to sing.
Loving him is like driving a new Maserati down a dead-end street
Faster than the wind, passionate as sin ending so suddenly
Loving him is like trying to change your mind once you're already flying through the free fall
Like the colors in autumn, so bright just before they lose it all
Losing him was blue like I'd never known
Missing him was dark gray all alone
Forgetting him was like trying to know somebody you never met
But loving him was red
Loving him was red
Flashback
Darren and I are laying in my bed skin touching skin, the sheets are resting on my waist. Darren is tracing patterns on my back and I'm doing the same on his shoulder. "I'm so glad you were my first." I say kissing his tan skin. "I'm glad you were mine too." I look into his eyes and tell him "I love you."
"I love you too." he replies lacing your fingers together.
"Forever?" I ask hoping e feels the same way.
"Forever." he says before pulling me into a passionate kiss.
End flashback
Touching him was like realizing all you ever wanted was right there in front of you
Memorizing him was as easy as knowing all the words to your old favorite song
Fighting with him was like trying to solve a crossword and realizing there's no right answer
Regretting him was like wishing you never found out that love could be that strong
Losing him was blue like I'd never known
Missing him was dark gray all alone
Forgetting him was like trying to know somebody you never met
But loving him was red
Oh, red
Burning red
Remembering him comes in flashbacks and echoes
Tell myself it's time now, gotta let go
But moving on from him is impossible
When I still see it all in my head
Burning red
Loving him was red
Oh, losing him was blue like I'd never known
Missing him was dark gray all alone
Forgetting him was like trying to know somebody you never met
'Cause loving him was red
Yeah, yeah, red
We're burning red
And that's why he's spinnin' 'round in my head
Comes back to me, burning red
Yeah, yeah
'Cause love was like driving a new Maserati down a dead-end street
The final chord rings out and I"m smiling ear to ear. I look down and my eyes lock with the all to familiar hazel ones. Darren. A tidal wave of emotions wash over me and my eyes fill up with tears. I turn and run off stage and collapse into a sobbing mess. I hear footsteps behind me and I figure its Jenny.
"Jenny, go. I don't want to talk to anyone right now."
"Not even me?" A voice asks and I immediately know who it is. I wipe my tears away and take a deep breath and try to look somewhat presentable.
"Especially you. Why don't you go talk with your super hot, super talented girlfriend Mia?" I ask just begging he will go away.
"She's not my girlfriend. Well, not anymore." he says putting his hand in his pockets and stepping closer to me.
"Why are you here? Don't you have this fabulous life to live instead of talking to a nobody like me?" you sit up still not looking into his eyes.
" You aren't a nobody. And from seeing what you did out there you have a pretty good life too." he lifts my chin and looks into my eyes.
"Not as good as it used to be." I lift my chin from his hand but still look into his eyes.
"Who was that song about? And don't you dare say nobody because I was here for the whole intro." he sits on the floor with you with hope in his eyes.
"You. And I meant every single word of it. But why did you break up with Mia anyways?" I stand up and brush myself off and straighten my clothes.
"She wasn't you. I didn't feel the spark when I kissed her, like I did when I kissed you." He leans closer slowly still looking in my eyes. I close the gap between us and everything was still there like it was three years ago, the sparks, the feelings, the love. I put my hands in his curls and press into the kiss more.
"Hey (Y/N), I just wanted to see if you're okay-Oh!" I reluctantly pull away and look at Jenny who is standing there with her arms crossed looking at me with an amused look.
"Am I interrupting something?" she says innocently.
"Fuck off Jenny." I say as I pull Darren into another kiss.
