chapter twelve

CHARLIE

"He wants to record my song? No one has ever heard my songs!" Oceane exclaimed, pacing the trailer back and forth as I sat on the couch watching her.

"Okay seriously the way you're stressed, you're making me stressed," I chuckled. "Come sit." I patted the space next to me and the girl didn't even think twice in plopping down.

"Wanna tell me why you're scared of singing again?" I asked softly, facing her as I leaned my arm on the back of the couch and laid on my head on it.

She looked straight ahead, as if she was thinking of what to say.

"I guess, after everything happened... I didn't do the things that I used to. I didn't sing, I didn't dance, none of the stuff I used to enjoy," she sighed.

Her head was laid back, and she turned it to face me.

"I wrote Gloves Up 2 years ago. That was when I started writing those songs," she said softly.

"And when you started singing again?" I asked and she nodded. "Not really singing singing but yeah," she shrugged.

"What was the first song that Kenny read?"

"It's called Lightning, that one was the one that Owen recorded me singing. Speaking of him I'm gonna need to electrocute that boy," she muttered and I chuckled.

"Hey," she said, looking at me again and I hummed in response, meeting her eyes.

"Wanna help me with that song?" she asked. I couldn't help but smile, nodding.

We ended up finishing the song rather quickly, taking only half of our free day. We both didn't have any scenes to film today, so we decided to just go on set and visit.

"Hello," I smiled at her as we both got out of our apartments at the same time. She laughed lightly, walking over to me.

"Shall we?" I asked with a playful British accent as I reached my arm out for her. Oceane let out a laugh, linking our arms.

"Your accent is horrible– never do that again, but yes we shall," she said causing us both to laugh as we skipped our way to the elevator.

We were both back to being comfortable around each other, it was almost as if nothing ever happened before this. But a lot did, and we should be talking about it. We both know that but for some reason we can't say it.

I asked her the other day and after her sudden panic attack, I don't know if I should. I'd never say it to her face, knowing she hates if people see her as weak and vulnerable, but I was almost scared to say the wrong things. As if she was a fragile glass that would break at any second.

She was jamming to the songs that started playing on the radio, and I just couldn't help but smile. She seems so happy these days, and it was like I was slowly forgetting the state she was in during those last days with her 6 years ago.

Keep her happy. I have to.

OCEANE

I was singing along to any song I knew, until I got a little bored. "Can I just, put my playlist on?" I asked Charlie.

"Sure, go ahead," he nodded and I did just that. My spotify playlist started playing, and the first song to come on was 'Choose' by Why Don't We.

"I remember my sister blasting this," Charlie chuckled. "C'mon it's a bop," I said, starting to sing along.

"We're supposed to be together, you ain't thinkin' straight
I gotta place that we can go and ease your stress away" I sang pretty much at the top of my lungs.

I could see Charlie start tapping onto the steering wheel with his fingers as if it was a drum. Soon enough the chorus kicked in, and I wasn't the only one singing along.

"Choose, I'm just sayin', what you wanna do?
Choose, I just dropped down in your city to
Choose, let me put you onto something new
Choose, ain't no tellin' what we get into" we both jammed out.

I guess he was right about his sister blasting this to point he remembers the lyrics.

"I'm ju- I'm ju- I'm just sayin', choose."

"Okay Gillespie, this is our song now," I said, causing him to laugh. "I'm down for that," he said.
