Today was gonna be the day
He'd already wrote the note
And parked that Chevrolet
At the end of that dead end road
Had his finger on the trigger; just about to end
everything
He was taking one last long breath; when he heard his
cell phone ring
Finn sat in his car twisting the gun in his hand. Nobody wanted him. Nobody cared. He lifted it to his head but then his cell phone rang. He answered.
And his best friend said man, where ya been?
We're heading down to the lake this weekend
You better not miss it, cause, buddy I swear
It won't be the same if you ain't there
And I told that girl that you like so much
You were coming along and her eyes lit up
I better let you go. Man, i really hope, i didn't catch
you in the middle of anything
He said you kinda did but I don't mind at all
I'm glad you called
"hey buddy where the hell have you been?" Matt asked " we are going to the lake tomorrow and you should totally come. Quinn has been asking about you. So how about it?"
Finn smiled. "Yeah I'll come to your house in the morning. Thanks man. Tell Quinn I said hi. Bye dude." Everything would be okay. He put the gun down. Everything would be and Quinn were there.
In another town down the road
In the backseat of a car
Two 18 year olds had let a kiss go too far
He said how we gonna have this child?
We're both headed off to school
He convinced her late one night there's only one thing
to do
"Oh god Noah!" Rachel sobbed into his shirt. She wanted to disappear. To just cease to exist. He tightened his hold on her. "Shhh. Its okay Rachel. We will be fine. But Rachel, you are going to Broadway and I am staying here. I think we both know what the best option is." She rubbed her flat stomach and wasn't sure but agreed.
She was scared to death in that waiting room
When the nurse asked how far along are you?
She said 5 weeks and just about then her phone lit up
And his call came in
Rachel flipped through a magazine for the umpteenth time. This wasn't happening. No it just was NOT happening. A nurse with a sympathetic smile asked her how far she was and without a delay answered 5 weeks. Then she felt her phone buzz. Noah.
Saying, baby, I was wrong about everything
I already bought you a diamond ring we're gonna start a
life
Would you be my wife?
Boy or girl; pink or blue; yeah, either way
All she could say as she felt those tear drops fall was
I'm so glad you called
"Hello?" Her voice broke.
"Babe you okay?" His voice filled with urgency and concern. "This was a really bad idea Rach. I'm sorry. I am on my way to get you baby. Everything will be alright. Don't do anything. Don't go in and just don't do anything. I will be RIGHT there. Just hold on." She smiled and started to cry and she heard Noah driving and hung up.
Then she was out the door and he was outside. She ran into his arms and cried into his chest while he cried into her hair. He casually pulled out a ring.
Everything would be okay . Noah was here.
If someone you know is weighing on your mind
And needs a friend on the other end of the line
Don't hesitate what you say may seem so small
But who knows
They might be glad you called
