Hi people! Sorry I haven't updated in forever! School came back and I hate school! I have too much homework, so I can't update until the weekends! This is a mercifully short A/N. I DO NOT OWN!
Tom's POV
Hey, guess who's back? If you guessed me, then you're right! I bet you all missed me. But you probably didn't because you were busy in the drama of other people's lives. I was sick for a week. It was not pretty, but I won't go into it, because you'd probably lose your lunch.
I woke up on Saturday feeling so much better than I had in the past week. It was about noon, and I was really hungry. I was happy that I could get out of bed finally and that I was actually able to not be throwing up every second that I was awake.
I stretched and got dressed in a T-shirt and some ripped and paint-smeared jeans, knowing that even if it was a school day, Trudy was not going to let me go to school so shortly after being sick.
I ran into Sydney in the hall. She was bringing me breakfast because she didn't know of my miraculous recovery. Swear that if she didn't have a whole tray of food in her hands, she would have given me a big hug. And when I came into the dining room, I actually did get a hug… from Tim.
"Aww, you were worried weren't you?" Patricia asked him.
Tim looked a little embarassed.
"I'm sure he was," I said, "as much as we fight, we're brothers and we love each other, even though we don't show it."
"That is so deep." Alfie said stupidly.
Later on in the day, because Trudy insisted that I rest, I sat on my bed strumming absentmindedly on my guitar when Sydney came in.
"How are you feeling?" she asked.
I gave her a small smile, "Much better than last Monday, thanks to you."
"I didn't really do that much…" she said modestly.
"I think you did. I know that I woke up a couple of times at, like, one in the morning, and you were there, checking up on me."
"Well, yeah…" she said, looking a little embarrassed. "You play the guitar?" she asked, changing the subject.
"Yeah," Now it was my turn to be embarrassed.
"Would you play me a song?" she asked.
"Uh… sure," I said.
I started strumming out chords to the first song that popped into my head.
I'm sittin' here all by myself
just tryin' to think of something to do
Tryin' to think of something, anything
just to keep me from thinking of you
But you know it's not working out
'cause you're all that's on my mind
One thought of you is all it takes
to leave the rest of the world behind
Well I didn't mean for this to go as far as it did
And I didn't mean to get so close and share what we did
And I didn't mean to fall in love, but I did
And you didn't mean to love me back, but I know you did
I'm sittin' here tryin' to convince myself
that you're not the one for me
But the more I think, the less I believe it
and the more I want you here with me
You know the holidays are coming up
I don't want to spend them alone
Memories of Christmas time with you
will just kill me if I'm on my own
Well I didn't mean for this to go as far as it did
And I didn't mean to get so close and share what we did
And I didn't mean to fall in love, but I did
And you didn't mean to love me back
I know it's not the smartest thing to do
we just can't seem to get it right
But what I wouldn't give to have one more chance tonight
One more chance tonight
I'm sittin' here tryin' to entertain myself with this old guitar
But with all my inspiration gone it's not getting me very far
I look around my room and everything I see reminds me of you
Oh please, baby won't you take my hand
we've got nothing left to prove
Well I didn't mean for this to go as far as it did
And I didn't mean to get so close and share what we did
And I didn't mean to fall in love, but I did
And you didn't mean to love me back, but I know you did
And I didn't mean to meet you then
we were just kids
And I didn't mean to give you chills
the way that I kiss
And I didn't mean to fall in love, but I did
And you didn't mean to love me back but I know you did
Don't say you didn't love me back 'cause you know you did
No, you didn't mean to love me back
But you did.
I sang the last words and took a deep breath..
Sydney smiled, "That was amazing,"
"It wasn't that awesome," I muttered.
"Well, I think that I was really good." Sydney said, "you know, I bet that you could give anyone chills if you kissed them,." She said flirtatiously.
I raised my eyebrows, "Oh, really?" I said equally flirtatiously. She leaned close to me and I could feel her breath on my face. I closed the gap between our lips, pressing mine against hers. She tasted so sweet. She shivered beneath my kiss.
We pulled away for a second, looking into each other's eyes.
"That most definitely gave me chills," she said, pulling me in for another kiss.
Aww, so sweet. How many of you were waiting for them to get together? I most certainly was! The song he sung was called A Lonely September by the Plain White T's, and no, I do not own it. Review! Review or my hard effort on making this longer will have been wasted!
