Wow, I have to work on updating sooner. I was going to make a new chapter, but I didn't have the inspiration for it. Enough chitter chatter. On with the story.
Sonic Boom, 8:00 PM, Tuesday, April 16th. Ready, set, action!
I tapped out a tune on the piano. My mind turned off on the wrong day. Austin and I were supposed to write a song and I have a bad case of the songwriter's block. The songwriter's block was like a strong brick wall around my mind. No ideas can come in or out. I was doomed.
"Got anything? Any beats, melodies, words?" Austin asked again for the tenth time since we've started a half an hour ago. I groaned and dropped my head lightly on the piano. It's so frustrating when nothing comes to mind! Austin taps his pencil on the piano. The beat replays in my mind. Nothing can spark an idea or inspiration.
"Maybe we can start with this." Austin's hand brushed against mine as he moved to play a small melody. Light bulb!
"Wait, play the melody again but slower this time," I ordered. He played it again. Words started forming in my head. I quickly wrote out the lyrics before they disappeared from my mind. He repeated the melody and I sang out the lyrics.
"A drop in the ocean. A change in the weather. I was praying that you and me might end up together. It's like wishing for rain as I stand in the desert. But I'm holding you closer than most 'cause you are my heaven."
"Wow, where did those lyrics come from?" Austin asked. I thought about it. These lyrics popped into my head in the moment. It seemed like nothing special, but when I thought about it more, I realized it was about Austin. He liked Kira. I had no chance with him. I'll continue to wish he would be with me but it no matter how much I wished for it, it wouldn't happen.
I shrugged my shoulders, pretending the lyrics had no secret story within them. Austin continued to create the music while I continued to write the lyrics to it. In no time, my songwriter's block disappeared in thin air and the song was finished. We played it one last time to review the song we've created together. Once Austin hit the last note, we both turned to each other for any last comments.
"It's perfect," we both said in unison. We smiled and embraced in a hug. Maybe it was my imagination, but the hug felt like it lasted longer than it should have. But it doesn't matter; if the hug could go on longer, I would've allowed it.
We pulled away from the hug and he looked away. He senses the awkwardness between us. He must've figured it out. That's why he looked away.
"Um, I better get going, I have to get my homework done. You know how my parents are about my grades and my music career." Austin collected his stuff and waved goodbye. I waved back and he left. I was stranded in the practice room, feeling the need to play a song. I dragged my fingers across the cool surface of the piano keys and began to play an all too familiar song.
I don't know the first thing about love
Haven't really reached that chapter yet
But it's all the little things that he does
I'm about to fall, no safety net
Somebody catch me, losing my breath here
He's got a little spell worked up on me
Baby, I'm falling, Mandy don't call him
They're telling me, but there's
Something about him
I don't know what it is
I can't lie, he's on my mind
Something about him
I don't know what it is
Somebody like him is hard to find
He's like the star of my movie
He just does something to me
Can't explain it, can't contain it
I don't know what it is
Something about him
I never thought I would fall in love with my best friend. At first, I thought he was this obnoxious song stealing singer. Look at us now. We're Team Austin. We're writing songs, creating music videos, and selling out albums. We've come this far with each other. Without him, I would've been another dreamer. He's brought me out of my shell little by little. Besides his good looks and beyond cute smile, he has a great personality that makes me want to be around him more. But he likes Kira...there's no room for me and Austin with Kira in the picture.
Maybe cause he looks so innocent
I just wanna mess him up a bit
They know that I'm all wrapped up in it
Even if I tried, I couldn't quit
Everyone's watching, gotta use caution
People wanna chat so aimlessly
Whenever we're talking, I'm getting
Lost in everything, but there's
Something about him
I don't know what it is
I can't lie, he's on my mind
Something about him
I don't know what it is
Somebody like him is hard to find
He's like the star of my movie
He just does something to me
Can't explain it, can't contain it
I don't know what it is
Something about him
Let me tell you something quick about him. All these other girls say there's something slick about him (why?).
Cause his swag's on a hundred and climbing and he got me in this mic booth rhyming.

My fingers hit the last notes softly. A small tear dripped down my eyes and landed on my right hand. Why do I even try? Austin will never like me back, I thought before wiping away my tears and leaving for home.
Don't forget to Review and Rate :D
