Now it's time to see how Tripp feels about that little kiss… DRAMA TIME. I don't own I'm in the Band, Hard to Swallow & Fireworks by You Me at Six. If you must know, this song (Fireworks) puts me to sleep every night because it's just so beautiful. LULLABY. Anyway, on with the show.
Tripp's POV
I didn't stand a chance. All that I felt for Izzy was crushed. I stuffed my hands in my pockets and walked back to my house.
When I slammed the backdoor closed, the guys knew something was wrong. "What happened little man?" Burger asked me.
"How'd it go?" Derek asked.
"Have you seen the missing grape?" Ash questioned me.
"I don't wanna talk about it. And no Ash, I didn't see it." I said and stormed off to my room.
I slammed the door closed, turned on the stereo and plopped onto my bed. "Damn it." I said to myself.
So this is the end of you and me
We had a good run and I'm setting you free
To do as you want, to do as you please
Without me
Remember when you were my boat and I was your sea?
Together we'd float so delicately
But that was back when we could talk about anything
I'm a dude, I don't cry. Well, at least when I can help it. I was able to hold it in but just hearing that song play made me think. What was I gonna do?
'Cause I don't know who I am
When you're running circles in my head
And I don't know just who you are
When you're sleeping in someone else's bed
It was the end. I'd lost the girl of my dreams. Yeah, she was my best friend but that was all.
I climbed out of the window and onto the fire escape. I had left the window open and turned up the volume so I could hear the song as I stared up at the stars.
Three whole words and eight letters late
And that would have worked on me yesterday
We're not the same, I wish that could change
But it can't
And I'll say your name and in the same breath
I'll say something that I'll grow to regret
So keep your hands on your chest and sing with me
That we don't wanna believe
The beauty of the stars above me only reminded me of her and how beautiful she was. How much she loved to look up at them and how this was one of our ways to be peaceful.
'Cause I don't know who I am
When you're running circles in my head
And I don't know just who you are
When you're sleeping in someone else's bed
I heaved a sigh and saw my breath just like I did yesterday. The calming beat of the song and the amazing message of the lyrics was enough to make me feel just a bit better.
So it's true what they say
If you love someone, you should set them free
Oh, it's true what they say
When you throw it away
I don't know who you are
I don't know who you are
The beating of my heart sped up when I heard Izzy close the door to her room.
Oh, 'cause I don't know who you are
When you sleep with somebody else
'Cause I don't know who I am
When you're sleepin' with him
It's true what they say when you throw it away
Izzy came onto the fire escape. "Hey." She greeted me softly.
"Hi." I said.
"What's got you down?" She asked me.
"Nothing." I lied.
This is hard to swallow
You keep your thoughts by your pillow
And just so you can adore them
And just so we can ignore them
I'd rather lead than follow
I'd rather stay in the cold
I must have got so old
Well so i've been told
But now youve lost it all
"Tripp Campbell." She said with her arms crossed.
"I'm serious Iz. Nothing." I insisted.
We're running out of time
We have things on our mind
And things that we just dont like
Who'd you wana say?
Who'd you wana be tonight?
I saw her shiver in the cold night air. Despite how I felt, I took off my jacket and put it on her.
I saw her blush underneath the moonlight. "Thanks Tripp."
"N-no problem." I stuttered.
"Damn it! You don't stand a chance. Why even try?" I thought to myself.
Forgetting the promises that you made
And how your,your promises easily break
Your can see it on your face
And I'm to under it
And i'll count my losses
And i'll count my sins
Her face was beautiful underneath the moonlight. You could see every little feature perfectly. The way her eyes sparkle were just… wow.
"You okay Tripp?" She asked and I realized I was staring.
"Yeah, I'm fine." I said shaking my head.
We're running out of time
We have things on our mind
And things that we just dont like
Who'd you wana say?
Who'd you wana be tonight? We're running out of time
We have things on our mind
And things that we just dont like
Who'd you wana say?
Who'd you wana be tonight?
I could see the fingers on her left hand delicately stroking something on her right ring finger.
"Is that what I think it is?" I asked her and got her hand.
She smiled as the moonlight shined. "Yeah, the candy ring from 2nd grade. Well, without the candy of course."
I chuckled. "I can't believe you're still wearing it after all this time."
"Just a little piece of you wherever I go." She said and I smiled like an idiot.
We were young and we were blind
We ignored the warning signs
How were we to know?
How were we to know?
We were close but still so far
We grew apart and out of touch
All i wanted was..
All i wannted was to say..
I mustered up enough courage to ask her. "So how'd your date go?"
"Awesome, no flaws." She said with a small smile.
My heart sank. I closed my eyes for a moment and took a deep breath.
We're running out of time
We have things on our mind
And things that we just dont like
Who'd you wana say?
Who'd you wana be tonight?
We're running out of time
We have things on our mind
And things that we just dont like
Who'd you wana say?
Who'd you wana be tonight?
Tonight, tonight, tonight, tonight
"I think I'd better go to bed Tripp." She said and handed me my jacket.
I nodded. "G'night Iz."
Okay, I'm secretly updating this. Going to update again tomorrow. NO SCHOOL, YAY!
