A DJ started talking.
Well people we received a letter a few weeks ago from a young man. He said he had a idea for his girlfriends birthday. He went into great detail about how he felt about her and how amazing she is. The DJ then man kissy noises. Well the good news is we sorted it for him. So Danny here's your message!
The radio went quiet for a second then Danny's voice came across.
I thought for my girlfriends birthday that I could dedicate a song to her. So I started looking for THE perfect song. As I listened to song after song I realised that there was no way that one song was good enough , the words I was listening to didn't convey the depth of emotion I feel when I look at her. So from all the songs I listened to I made a little mix tape full of verses and choruses from songs that show her how I feel. So here it is. Alice Collins I love you and this song, or collection that it is - is for you from deep within my heart! Love you always.
My eyes are no good,
blind without her
The way she moves I'd never doubt her
When she talks she somehow creeps into my dreams
She's a doll, a catch, a winner
I'm in love
And no beginner could ever grasp or understand
What she means
Baby, baby blue eyes
Stay with me by my side
Until the morning
Through the night
Well baby, stand here holding my sides
Close your baby blue eyes
Every moment feels right
And I may feel like a fool
But I'm the only one dancing with you
(Pause)
Time, is going by, so much faster than
IAnd I'm starting to regret not spending all of here with you
Now I'm wondering why I've kept this bottled inside
So I'm starting to regret not selling all of it to you
So if I haven't yet, I've gotta let you know
You're never gonna be alone from this moment on
If you ever feel like letting go,
I won't let you fall
You're never gonna be alone,
I'll hold you 'til the hurt is gone
(Pause)
Now baby I know,
Your hearing things,
About girls I had before you,
But that don't change a thing,
Between us,Girl
I know we got chemistry,
That can't be replaced,
By anybody or by anything,
Do I think your fly?
Yes,But I don't wanna pressure you,
To do anything you don't wanna do,
No,Cos we gotta lotta time,
Yes,And I plan on being with you,
For the rest of my life,
I'll wait, its all right.
(Pause)
Baby as our lives unfold
There's no telling where we'll go
But as far as I can see,
it'll be you and meJ
ust the way it's supposed to be
Don't worry baby
I ain't no maybe
Rain or Shine
This Love of mine is for you
Let my arms remind you
I'll always be beside you
Holdin' on until this ride is through
So away we go, down that forever road
(Pause)
If you think I've second guessed it
Or for one minute I'd regret it
This life with youNo,
there's never been a moment
Not one time I haven't known it
What I have with you
You hold my heart
Deep inside of every single part
(Pause)
Oh no I can't let you go,
My little girl
Because you're holding up my world,
So I need youYour imitation of my walk
And the perfect way you talk
It's just a couple of the million things
That I love about you
So I need you
(Pause)
There'll never be minute of the day
I won't think of you
My feelings are so strong in me
I feel it through and through
There'll never be a night that's so dark that we won't shine
Or a dream that we've lost that we can't find
You'll always be, oh the one for me
I think of you from time to time
And in between
(Pause)
Baby, you make the sun shine down
You make the sun shine down
You can paint the darkest clouds
And turn them into rainbows
You take your secret smile
The one that turns me on
Hey girl, you've been what I've waited for
(Pause)
I wanna be somewhere so far away
To lie under the night at the end of another good day
I can't tell you how long we'll be gone
But as long as we're together then forever's never too
Where forever is never too long
Not with you right here by me
Maybe, maybe we'll just see
Where this road will lead for us
(Pause) (Full Song)
Turn Around
Turn Around and fix your eye in my direction
So there is a connection
I can't speak
I can't make a sound to somehow capture your attention
I'm staring at perfection
Take a look at me so you can see
How beautiful you are
You call me a stranger
You say I'm a danger
But all these thoughts are leaving you tonight
I'm broke and abandoned
You are an angel
Making all my dreams come true tonight
I'm confident
But I can't pretend I wasn't terrified to meet you
I knew you could see right through me
I saw my life flash right before my very eyes
And I knew just what we'd turn into
I was hopeing that you could see
Take a look at me so you can see
You call me a stranger
You say I'm a danger
But all these thoughts are leaving you tonight
I'm broke and abandoned
You are an angel
Making all my dreams come true tonight
You are an angel
Making all my dreams come true tonight
Take a look at me so you can see
How beautiful you are
Your beauty seems so far away
I'd have to write a thousand songs to make you comprehend how beautiful you are
I know that I can't make you stay
But I would give my final breathe to make you understand how beautiful you are
Understand how beautiful you are
The songs finished. It should have sounded weird but Danny had put the songs in a order that they sorted flowed. The DJ said. We have been in touch with all the artists who graciously allowed Danny to use their songs after we assured them that he wasn't profiting in any way. The DJ announced the next song and Danny and Alice were left on the floor. He looked at her and tears spilled over her lashes.
"No -one has ever done anything that nice for me before!" she said.
He grinned at her,
"No really!" she insisted and then kissed him. "I'll be planning your 17th now then!" she warned.
"I look forward to it!" he said.
They went downstairs to grab a drink and realised the sun was beaming outside. "When mum gets back from shopping I'm gonna ask her if we can have a barbeque instead of a fancy dinner. We'll get the pool out and then laze!" he said grinning.
"I dunno!" Alice said "Your mums probably went to a lot of trouble."
"She won't mind!" Danny assured her.
"What won't I mind?" Amanda said walking through the front door.
Danny ran over and grabbed her bags. Alice helped.
"Well we were wondering instead of a fancy meal if we could just sort of stay home and have a barbeque?" he asked and turned on the charm "Because your such a brilliant and wonderful mother."
She smiled and rolled her eyes. She looked at Alice. "Watch out the smile and green eyes get you every time!" she warned.
"Tell me about it!" Alice muttered.
"So that's a yes?" he asked.
"Yes Daniel that is a yes!" she agreed .
"YES I love barbeques!" he said.
Alice and Danny walked outside and he pulled 2 sun loungers out of the shed. He also pulled out the box that held the 12 foot pool.
"Jesus this is heavy!" she said straining to hold the box.
"Stop being a wimp!" he said and winked at her. "Weakling!"
"Really?" she asked. "I could have you on your knees in 5 minutes. And I wouldn't have to use any strength what so ever!" and grinned wickedly.
"Ok Ok You win!"
They dropped the box and she punched the air in victory.
Alice went and lay on one of the loungers while Danny went inside. When he returned he was wearing blue and white flowered shorts.
"Alice." he said. She opened one eye and saw the shorts.
"What the hell are those?" she asked pointed at the shorts.
"HEY! What's wrong with them?" he asked offended.
"Could they get any louder?" she asked. "You look like a florist just threw up all over you!"
"Ha Ha Aren't we funny today!" he said dryly.
"But seriously!" she said. "I thought a flower monster was coming to eat me!" she then nodded seriously then started laughing.
"I do know where the hose is!" he warned.
"Ok I will refrain from mocking Danny's ridiculous shorts." she told him.
He punched the air in victory like she did before.
Amanda came out with a pair of white cargo trousers and a t-shirt. She tossed them to Alice who caught them one handed.
"Ooooo Good catch!" Danny said.
"Those are brand new, too small for me. Me being me lost the receipt so I was stuck with 'em. I held onto them for some reason. They should be a good fit on you and you'll be cooler in them too" she said and winked.
"Thanks." Alice said. She then walked inside and upstairs into the bathroom to change. Alice didn't usually wear white. It made her look even paler then she actually was. Hopefully she would get a tan today. Fingers crossed. It took her ages to catch the sun but when she did her skin went a golden brown. She folded the pants at the knee and fastened the button which held them in place. She put her shoes in Danny's room and walked downstairs and walked outside barefoot. She saw Danny setting up the pool. He as bent over and putting pipes into a filter. She stood at the door admiring his bum as he was bent over. He really did have a nice bum! She mused. He noticed her while he was bent over. His head was bent so he was looking at her upside down.
"You looking at me?" he asked.
"Just admiring your bum!" she told him.
He grinned then slapped his hand on it. "I must admit it is rather nice!" he said in a posh voice.
She walked over and tapped his bum.
"Oooo kinky!" he whispered. She laughed.
The pool was pulled into a circle shape and he put the hose in.
"I'm going to have to go to mine for some stuff." she said.
He pulled her into his arms. "I'd tell you to skinny dip but my parents are here. I don't think they'd agree!" he said.
"Danny your mad!" she said and kissed him. When he pulled away he winked and wiggled his eyebrows. "C'mon we'll go over to your while its filling."
They walked into the house. She went upstairs to grab her trainers.
"Mum can Alice stay the night?" he asked.
She looked at him.
"God do I really have to say it again?" he asked in exasperation.
"Ask me later. Bring her stuff just in case. Your dads taking me out tonight - and she is 16 now!" she told him.
"do I have to get a chastity belt before she'll trust me?" he muttered walking away.
"That might help!" she shouted in reply.
He turned back and glared. "O Mum keep an eye on the pool will ya?" he asked.
He then grabbed Alice's hand and they made the short walk over to her house.
They walked through the front door and Alice's first thought is that it was too quiet. Her dad was sat in the living room drunk. She could smell it from over here.
"Whose there?" he said slurred.
"It's Alice dad." she replied.
"Where you been?" he asked getting up. He swayed on his feet and had a cut on his forehead. She noticed the floor was covered in broken glass and plates.
"Who's he?" her dad asking motioning to Danny.
"He's my friend dad."
He sniffed.
"Go upstairs and get me some stuff Danny." she asked him.
"I'm not leaving you with him. He's spoiling for a fight. He could do anything!" he whispered.
"My dad's never hit me before. Don't worry Danny. I'll be fine. Please you'll on make him worse!" she said.
He went to walk upstairs but when Alice walked into the sitting room, he quickly ran back down them and hid behind a wall. He wasn't giving her dad a chance to hit her.
She walked into the kitchen and picked up a clean tea towel and wet it. "For your head!" she said and tossed it to him. "So what happened dad?" she asked picking up the shards of broken glass.
"Me and Tina argued!" he said simply. He then added. "I don't like your boyfriend."
"Well you don't have too. I'm the one who is going out with him." she said.
He got up and grabbed her by the collar. "Don't back chat me girl." he hissed.
So her dad was back he had a bad time with his girlfriend so he gave her a hard time about Danny. She tried to wiggle out of his grasp but he held her tight. Danny walked in.
"Get your hands off her!" he said in warning.
"You gonna make me boy?" he asked.
"If I need too. I don't suppose you could stand up to me though. Real men don't hit or verbally abuse woman!" he said and then crossed his arms.
Alice's father pushed her away from him. She fell on the floor in a pile of glass. He roared with rage and ran at Danny. He was just about to reach Danny when he sidestepped him. Too drunk to realise and going to fast to stop he ran straight into the wall Danny had been standing in front of. He hit the wall with a thump and then lay on the floor unmoving. He went over and saw Alice picking herself off the floor. A bit of glass was embedded into her hand, she pulled it out and groaned then saw blood gush out. She pressed her uninjured hand to her stomach and felt a little light headed. Danny got another clean tea towel and pressed it to her hand. Alice looked ill.
"You ok?" he asked.
She nodded briskly. "I just get sick at the sight of blood."
"Your not gonna be a very good vet if blood makes you sick." he said.
"Not all blood. Just my own!" she said.
The blood wasn't flowing but it was trickling. "C'mon we're gonna have to get you x-rayed. See if there's any foreign objects in there. You might need stitches too."
"No Danny I'm not spending my 16th in A&E!" she said.
"What if you need stitches. I'm no good with a needle and thread!" he said.
"Look if it hasn't stopped in 30 minutes we'll go to hospital ok." she said.
They walked upstairs and she pulled out a first aid kit. She used a alcohol wipe to clean it.
"Ow fucking bitch!" she shouted. "Why's that stuff gotta sting!" she asked whining.
She then stuck a blue waterproof plaster onto her hand. They then went into her room and tossed some clothes in a bag along with her brush and deodorant.
"We'll get you spares to keep at my house!" he said.
They then walked out of the house, she noticed her dad sitting at the kitchen table.
Happy birthday Alice!" she thought sadly.
The day passed fairly quickly. She and Danny played in the pool splashing each other like a couple of toddlers and basically acting like toddlers instead of teenagers on the cusp of adulthood. There were a million pictures taken, Danny promised to have 2 copies made of everything. The barbeque had been great too. His dad cooked the meat just right. She'd had far too many burgers. Danny had been shocked at how much food she had actually eaten. It had been the best birthday she'd ever had.
Danny's parents had went out a hour ago and they were kicking a ball in the back garden. It was getting dark and getting chilly but they didn't notice. He only had his shorts on and she had pulled a pair of shorts on over her bikini bottoms and a t-shirt over her top.
"Today has been the best day of my life!" she told him shyly.
"Yeah." he said then remembered her hand.
She noticed his face. Ok time for a distraction. She did 15 keepy uppies and the kicked the ball up. Turned and heeled it to him.
He grinned as it landed at his feet. "Show off." he said.
He then promptly did 20 keepy uppies and then kicked the ball up, bent down so it landed on his neck and balanced it there. He looked at her and wiggled his eyebrows. Snapped his head so the ball flew in the air and headed the ball to her.
He then looked at her smugly. She looked at him and said. "Is that the best you got?"
"Lets make this interesting then." he said.
He looked at the pool.
"If you can do better than that, I will jump in that pool right now. But if you can't you jump in the pool."
Alice shook her head. "No way Danny it's freezing."
"Well if you know you can't beat me." he said.
"Ok!" she said. "prepare to be beaten badly!" she said confidently.
Oh god she wished she could pull this off. She'd never be able to do this before. She then did a few keepy uppies and then let the ball drop of her foot. It balanced. She then did a 360 degrees turn. She squealed when she did it.
"I did it I did it!" she said jumping up and down laughing.
"I admit it then, I'm beat." he said and climbed in the pool.
"Oh God!" he said. "It's freezing!"
He then fell back in the water.
"Danny? Danny?" she said and ran over worried.
His head popped out of the water and he pulled her in. She opened her mouth to scream but her mouth filled with water. Her head surfaced and she coughed and spluttered.
"I'll get ya for that!" she vowed.
He swam over and kissed her. "You've got all night to get me back. Mum said you could stay!" he said and kissed her again.
"If you insist!" she said and kissed him back.
A/N sorry my uploading is taking so long. i had a test yesterday i had 2 revise 4. my last test is on tues. ive got about 5 chapters ready but gt no time 2 type them up :( so if i say something u dnt understand ive probably wrote something in a later chapter. like when alice said she felt quesy at the sight of her blood in chapter 14. it was because of the cut on her hand i wrote that thinking i had sed it earlier. the bit at the end was inspired by the fact that my bf in a fit of madness threw me in my sons pool.
