Y/N/N= Your Nick Name

I have been studying at college for about half a year now. I've settled in quite well, made new friends and had fun. I was in the music performance course, singing as my main focus but some bass on the side. But aside from all of this, there has been a certain something or someone that has been on my mind. My friend Dominic. I have had a crush on him since I met him. I'm too afraid to tell him so I've been keeping it a secret from him. The only person I've told is my friend, Abby. She moved with me to this college from my high school. We're both friends with him and we both decided to hide the truth from him. She, too, had a little bit of a crush on him but it dissolved after she found out about mine.

Today, we had to sit around the entire class and recite some music, either a cover of a song or our own. I chose to cover "Roger Rabbit" by Sleeping with Sirens. I was up after a few of the other 12 people in the class. As I sang, I kept glancing over to Dom, then to Abby, down to the floor then back at Dom. Dom and Abby were practically sat next to each other, aside from my chair splitting them apart. When I finished, I sat back down into my chair to the sound of applause from the class. Dom looked my way, followed by Abby.
"(Y/N/N), that was sick!" Dom said, pulling me into a hug.
"Since when did you sing slow songs? That was so good!" Abby followed, holding her hand up for a Hi-5, which I gladly accepted. Then, it was Dom's turn.

Dom's POV:
"So, next, we have Dominic Harrison." Our teacher, Martin, announced. I took a deep breath and stood up. I carried my acoustic guitar to the front of the room and plugged it into the amp. Martin, examining our performances, took the camera and switched it on.
"Would you please state your name and what you'll be singing, please?"
"Ok, erm, I'm Dominic Harrison and I will be singing an original song called Love Song."
The room was silent and I was really scared for this. I'm never normally nervous about performing but today, I was singing a song I wrote about (Y/N). She was my first friend in this college and I have had a crush on her since the minute I laid my eyes on her. I had told her all of my problems in the past and she just sat, listened and understood everything that I was going through. I'm too scared to tell her the truth so instead, I'll put it into a song and sing it in front of her. I started strumming on my guitar and started singing it.

All I learned, growing up, was that love chewed me up. Spit me out on the pavement, next to the cuts and the blood that my mum and dad would always take out on each other

Only thing that I knew, that a love could lead me to was protecting my sisters from all the cuts and the blood that my mum and dad would always take out on each other.

Sweetheart, you are... changing my mind... sweetheart you are... changing my mind.

Nobody taught me how to love myself, so how can I love somebody else? There ain't no excuses, I swear that I'm doing my best.

Nobody taught me how to love myself so how can I love somebody else? I'm so new to this, I swear that I'm doing my best... I won't let you down.

Throughout the whole song, all I could do was think about all that she had done for me which made me start to tear up through the chorus. Ever since we met, she'd take time out her day to listen to me rant about my problems without telling me any of hers, she would always invite me to go out if I was having family troubles and she would always check up on me if we were out with a group of friends. I owe so much to her and we've only known each other for a few months. By the end of the song, a few tears trickled from my eyes. As the rest of the class applauded, I quickly wiped my eyes and sat down after unplugging my guitar. I kept my head down to gain composure, meanwhile (Y/N) and Abby were complimenting the song.
"Dom, mate, that was so good!" (Y/N) put her arm around me. I smiled yet stayed quiet.
"Hey... you ok?" She asked.
"Hmm?" I hummed, pretending I didn't hear her.
"You alright?"
"Oh, uh, yeah... all good. Just... wondering if you would like to stay behind for a jamming session today?" I swiftly came up with a plan. I was going to finally tell her how I felt. I knew it wouldn't be long before she found out that the song was about her.
"Hell yeah! Let's do it." (Y/N) smiled her sweet smile.
