In love with my best friend? Yeah right. Maybe?
Chapter 2
"Whenever I'm around you"
I had been in my room for the past two hours, trying to write a song for Lilly. My guitar was tuned and it leaned against the wall, mocking me with it's strings just begging me to play it. So there I was sitting on my bed, trying to come up with words for a song but sadly nothing came. A soft knock came on my door. My dad walked in, carrying his famous loco hot coco. "Hi Bud, how's the songwriting coming along?" I sighed then I fell back onto my bed, covering my eyes and groaned. "Terrible Dad, I'm stuck. I've been trying and failing with coming up with the words to the song. I just don't know what to write and it's driving me insane! I don't know how you do it Dad." He laughed at me then he smiled. "Well Miley, I never said it was easy writing a song. But whoever this song you're writing for must be special to you." I smiled. "Yeah this person is special to me that's why this song has to be perfect."
My dad looked at me and he nodded. "So, you gonna tell your old man who this person is?" My heart stops beating. "Uh…not yet Daddy. I'm not ready to tell you who it is. I'm afraid that you'll hate me," I replied sadly. "Ah darlin', it's alright. I won't hate you when you tell me. I'll understand. Is it Oliver?" My eyes widened. "Daddy! Of course it's not Oliver. I mean sure, he's a nice guy but I only like him as a friend and plus he's like a brother to me." "Alright, just making sure Miley. Anyways don't force the words to come to you. Relax and they'll come to you," he said hugging me tightly then walked out. I hate it when he goes all fortune cookie on me.
I grabbed my notebook and my favorite pen then when I looked over at my guitar, inspiration hit me like lightning. I quickly jumped up and I grabbed my guitar. I began strumming it a little and then slowly the words came to me. When I had finished writing down the words, I started playing the guitar and I started to sing the chorus of the song. "Cause whenever I'm around you, I get weak in the knees. And I forget to breathe. When I try to speak, nothin' comes out cause I'm so scared to death. When you smile that smile, the world turns upside down. Whenever I'm around you. Whenever I'm around you." I let the strings ring out and I smiled with satisfaction. I couldn't wait to tell Lilly.
"Hey Lilly, can you come over because I have a surprise for you." "Ooh, what kind of surprise?" I laughed. "I'm not telling you. You'll have to see when you get here," I replied with a smile. I heard Lilly sigh over the phone. "Fine, I'm coming over now Miley. See you in a few!" She yelled happily then hung up. "Miley!" Lilly yelled happily, hugging me tightly. I hugged her back. "Hey Lils, I'm glad you came over 'cause I want you to hear a new song that I wrote and I want your opinion about it," I said smiling. I saw Lilly's eyes widen and she smiled back at me. "And I would love to hear it because I know that it will be totally amazing because you're an amazing songwriter and a great singer," Lilly said,giving my hand a light squeeze. She sat down on my bed while I grabbed my guitar,placing the lyrics in front of me. I faced Lilly,breathing in deeply,hoping she would like it.
I breathed in deeply,strumming the guitar a little. "Lils,before I go on,I need to tell you why I wrote this song." Lilly nodded. "Okay Miley,you can tell me why." I breathed in once again. "I wrote this song for you because I want you to know how I feel about you." Lilly gave me a reassuring smile. "Don't worry Miley,I'll like it."
"You have a face of an angel.
Two eyes that shine like two diamonds
in the sky.
I lie awake at night,going crazy because I
want to be with you.
I swear I have the biggest heartache in school.
I want to tell you but the words can't be found.
'Cause whenever I'm around you,
I get weak in the knees.
And I forget to breathe. When I try
to speak,nothin' comes out cause I'm so
scared to death.
When you smile that smile,the world
turns upside down.
Whenever I'm around you.
Whenever I'm around you.
Sometimes my heart beats so fast
when I'm around you that I can't
control it. And whenever you look at
me,I melt completely.
Don't ask why,I just do. I got it bad
because I'm in so deep. And when I
try to leave,somehow you always
seem to pull me back. I can't do a thing.
'Cause whenever I'm around you,
I get weak in the knees.
And I forget to breathe. When I try
to speak,nothin' comes out cause I'm so
scared to death.
When you smile that smile,the world
turns upside down.
Whenever I'm around you.
Whenever I'm around you."
There was a long moment of silence, neither one of us saying a word to each other. My heart was beating wildly and my breathing was shortened due to lack of air even though I can sing really well without breathing so much. But since I just poured my heart out to Lilly in song,I was breathless. I kept thinking that she must hate me for what I just told her. "Miley," Lilly said my name softly. I looked at her,trying to read her expression. "Yeah Lilly?" She looked at me with a sad expression and somehow I knew what was coming next. "Look Miles, I love that you wrote a song for me but I uh...just don't feel the same way about you. I love you like a sister and I don't want to lose that relationship with you because you mean alot to me.I still hope that we can be friends." I choked back tears and I smiled at her. "Of course we can still be friends Lils." We hugged then Lilly left. As soon as she left,I grabbed my pillow and heart was broken,but I wasn't going to give up and I wasn't going to let a rejection get me down. Maybe she'll start to feel the smae way too,only time will tell.
