Songs: Just to See You Smile, by Tim McGraw

Okay, ONWARD WITH THE CHAPTER!!!!

Chapter Six: Birthday Surprises Part 2

Tom's POV

Time to sing, I finally know which song I'm singing, turns out I actually like the artist, Tim McGraw, but I don't think I've ever listened to his this song, it was called Just To See You Smile, and it totally reminds me of my cousin-relationship with Krissy, it's really close, but I'm sure the song wasn't for that, but I still couldn't not think it. Okay, here goes:

Lyrics are in italics
Tom's thoughts in bold italics

You always had an eye for things that glittered, yup that was definitely what Krissy always loved
But I was far from being made of gold, I was most definitely not made of gold, because then I wouldn't be human
I don't know how but I scraped up the money, Money? I never needed to make money
I just never could quite tell you no, Krissy was always helping me, and so I've always felt I couldn't say no, because she hardly ever asked, so I would no matter what.

Just like when you were leaving Amarillo, Well, you did leave once to move,
Takin' that new job in Tennessee, Not a job, but a new school
And I quit mine so we could be together, I didn't leave my hometown, but I do see you often
I can't forget the way you looked at me, You always look at me with such kindness

Just to see you smile, Yup, I always want to see you happy
I'd do anything that you wanted me to, I'll do what you want me to, because you're just that special
When all is said and done I'd never count the cost, You do too much for me
It's worth all that's lost, just to see you smile, So when I do something for you, it's great to see you smile for me.

When you said time was all you really needed, Time, you need lots of time to care for others you love,
I walked away and let you have your space, and I understand, I leave you to yourself
Only leavin' didn't hurt me near as badly, You're always so optimistic, it doesn't hurt to leave,
As the tears I saw rollin' down your face, when it hurts more seeing you cry over me.

And yesterday I knew just what you wanted, You and I, we understand each other too well,
When you came walkin' up to me with him, When I went to see you before, you were already with Will,
So I told you that I was happy for you, and even though I knew you deserved better, I still said I was happy for you
And given the chance I'd lie again, and if I were to say it again, You and Will still don't fit

Just to see you smile, Your smile lights up the world,
I'd do anything that you wanted me to, Anything, you're too nice sometimes
When all is said and done I'd never count the cost, You always give, and don't get
It's worth all that's lost, just to see you smile, Your smile is my accomplishment

Just to see you smile, Your smile is worth everyone's life,
I'd do anything that you wanted me to, You need a rest sometimes, you need others to do things for you too.
When all is said and done I'd never count the cost,
It's worth all that's lost, just to see you smile

I finished up the song, and you could see in Krissy's eyes, she was tearing up. Oh, was that song to sad? I hope not. I hate making people sad, especially my family. Oh jeez, did I hurt her, woah, what was that? Oh, someone was hugging me. I looked at who, and I found Krissy around me, and she leaned in towards my ear, and said,

"Great job! You make me really happy." And then, she let go and gave me the biggest smile I've ever seen. Just to see her smile, that song is just what I was feeling now. Perfect song choice Krissy.

Max's POV

Ohhh, that was really sweet. That song wasn't bad either. However, I still didn't like the fact where Fang and Krissy sang together. I don't know, I usually wouldn't have felt something like that, what was wrong with me today though? Ugh, I hate myself.

You know you like him. My conscious was saying to me, but then on the other hand, I kept thinking wrong of it. For the past few days, I think I've been affected too much by all the lovey-dovey problems Krissy has been having. Still, I can't shake the feeling something is happening between me and Fang. I don't know, seeing him sing with Krissy, not a pleasant sight for me, but their song was great, and I like the fact that Fang actually cares about Tom. Tom, he's a cool person, but like Krissy said, he is hiding something. I can tell, but I hope in no time, he'll open up, like Fang. Fang was always the quiet one, but soon enough we realized he had stuff up in his mind, and he didn't want to tell anyone. He's getting better now though, and I'm sure Tom will too.

Krissy's POV

After that, I was overjoyed. Tom really never told me he was that great at singing. I guess I chose the right song for him. Anyways, I should show him my surprise now, 'cause that wasn't it. My surprise, is something I made for him. Everyone was busy watching a movie in the liveing room, and so I brought Tom over to the kitchen, to give him his surprise. (can you guys guess it? Tom, you told me you wanted it, but said I shouldn't have put it into the story, but I did anyways!)

"Okay Tom, there you go, your birthday surprise." I looked up from the table where I was pointing, to look at TOm, and smiled instantly from his face. It was covered with pure shock. The girt I had made him was a "T" shaped, chocolate cake. On the saids of the cake, I wrote, "Happy Birthday Tom, you deserve a better life." I looked back at Tom's face, and his expression had changed from shocked to joy. Excellent, just what I wanted. I haven't seen Tom smile since he was, like, I don't even remember. Tom does deserve a better life than this right now, so I'm giving it to him.

"Want everyone to share the cake, or are you going to hog it all to yourself?" I playfully asked TOm, seeing as he hasn't commented at all.

"No, no. I"ll share, I'm just amazed on why you would do soo much for my birthday."

"That's the point. It's your birthday, and I think your life should become better. So I'm starting to change your life now, and it'll only get better by the day. Since you want to share the cake, EVERYONE, come into the kitchen, we've got cake!!!" I yelled that last part so everyone would hear. Soon enough, everyone was gathered into the kitchen ready for some cake. I cut open the cake, and handed a piece to everyone, including myself.

Everyone seemed pleased with the cake, and that just made me even more happier than I already was.

Nighttime, 10 PM

Still Krissy's POV

A lot has happened these two days, and I feel something, more like a feeling that is building inside of me. I think it was waht happened yesterday that was still bothering me. Why had I turned into a mermaid? Why were some able to see my fins and some not? Am I changing? If I am, how so? I felt some sort of power building inside of me, and I"m not sure if I should like it, or if I shouldn't, but for now, I could tell, I won't be able to control myself when I explode, so right now, I"m sneaking out to see what's wrong with me.

I put on my bathing suit once more, and headed outside with sweatpants, and a jacket covering me. Soon enough, I was right beside the water. I suddenly felt a strong breeze coming my way, and instinctively, I brought my arms out, and let the wind blow in my face. After a few minutes, I couldn't resist anymore, and I dove into the water. Soon, I felt a tingling sensation, and looked down at my legs, and saw that they had already turned into fins. I started swimming into the deep ocean, and I felt free, no more like alive. this feeling was soo wonderful, I guess I was destined to love the water.

After about what seemed to be for an hour, I rose to the surface of the water, already wishing I co uld swim into the magnificent ocean. However, I went to the shore, and sat down, dangling my feet into the water. My legs reappeared, and I was dressed once again into clothes I've never seen before. I really do love the water, but I think I should be going back now. Once I stood up, I remembered my sweatpants and jacket. Quickly, I di a 360 looking for them. I sure spotted them, but when I reached for them, they seemed to plummet towards me. Right before I caught my clothes, I saw a hint of water splurting out. Funny, I wonder who did that? Thoug, I was asking that, I knew deep down, it was me who had done so.

I turned back to the ocean, and saw a huge wave coming towards me. I, pretty terrified of being hit, through my arms out in front of me, and instead of feeling a water splash onto me, I felt driplets of rain seeming to shower onto me. I looked ahead of me and saw myself building a water shield. Funny, I didn't know I could do that. Sounding, my heart had an urge for me just to run out into the ocean, the only thing, I was pretty sure I wouldn't float, but I still couldn't resist. I ran out into the ocean, and found myself perfectly standing right on top of the ocean. Wow! I've always wanted to know how it was like to stand on water, now I really am able to.

Soon, I was drifting away from the shore, but I didn't really notice. I was way too happy, but suddenly, I felt something beneath my feet, but when I looked down, I didn't see anything, but right when I looked back up, I saw a water spout coming right at me. Before being swept up into it, I heard someone scream my name, I turned around and saw Tom, I wish I could say something, but, Ah, suddenly, I felt myself being swept into the water, and soon enough, blackness invaded me.

Tom's POV Starting at 10 PM

Everyone was asleep I suppose, but I couldn't sleep. Today was such a wonderful day, and I didn't want it to go away. While I was in my thoughts, I heard something. I thought I heard footsteps, and then I heard the door swing open. Who would be going outside at this point of hour? I quickly decided to check it out. When I was outside, I saw a figure near the water. Soon, I realized it was a girl, but before I could call to her, she had already dived into the water. Oh no, what is that person doing? Couldn't have been one of the people from here was it? I don't know. I walked up towards the shore, and saw a pair of swetas, and a jacket, and soon realized they belonged to Krissy. What was Krissy doing out here? Hmm, maybe I should wait for her to surface and then I'll ask her.

However, after thirty minutes, Krissy hadn't risen yet, and I was getting a bit worried. Did something happen to her? What was wrong? I decided, something was up, and headed inside to the beach house when, I checked back to see if she had surfaced. Sure enough I did see a figure rise from the water. She swam out of the water, and sat on the shore. I started to walk over to her, when she once more, but instead of diving into the water, she started walking on it. Weird? How'd she do that? I don't know, but when I looked out into the water, I saw something ahead. Oh jeez, isn't that a water spour? OH jeez, without thinking, I screamed,

"KRISSY, watch out!" I saw her turn towards me, but before she could say anything, she was swept into the ocean. Oh jeez, what should I do. Oh, yeah get everyone up and search for Krissy.

I headed inside, and first decided to wake up the boys, just because I felt kind of awkward still around the girls. I first woke up Fang. He was the easiest, I guess he's a light sleeper.

"What's wrong?" he asked. I told him about Krissy, and soon enough all the boys were up. Fang then went over to Max's side and woke her up. Instantly, after Fang told her the story I told him, Max went to wake up the others. Everyone headed out with me, and I showed them where I had seen Krissy. there, we obviously found her sweats and jacket, but she was no where to be found. Oh jeez, what should we do? What a great birthday surprise, I wish this wouldn't have happened.

Max's POV

Krissy was gone, and no where to be found. We split up into three groups of five, just because I was being extra careful, not wanting to lose anyone else.

The groups were: Me, Fang, Tom, Serena, and Angel, the next, Iggy, Georgie, Kyle, Nudge, and Ella, and the final group, Will, Gazzy, Pebble, Michael, and Sera.

WE headed towards the ocean, and started searching for Krissy.

Boy do I hope when we find her, she won't be that hurt. Oh jeez, onward to the search...

Quote of the Chapter:

"Never compare yourself with others." You are you, she is she, and he is he, don't compare yourself or your may hurt yourself, or the other.

How was it?

I got some more drama into the chapter, but was it enough?

Did you love it? Like it? Hate it?

I need opinions!!!

I"m flying out,
