Secret Keeper

Unsaid Emily

"Ah, Sydney! There you are!" Kenny says excitedly. "Have a seat and we'll get started," He says smiling. I sit down next to Savvy. "Savannah told me you wrote a song, is that correct?" He asks. I nod my head. "Yeah, she did! And I think it would be perfect for the scene with Emily and Luke. The song is called Unsaid Charlie but, if Sydney would be okay with it, we could change Charlie to Emily and put that into the show. "
   
        "Now, Sydney, would you be okay with performing it in the studio for me?" "I-I don't know..." I say truthfully. "Baby, I know you can do this... Please, for me?" Savannah says. "Okay, fine, I'll do it... Do you have an acoustic guitar in there?" I ask. "We have everything, follow me and you can grab what you need," Kenny says standing up and starting to walk out. Savannah gets up and holds her hand out for me to grab. I grab her hand and we follow Kenny to the studio. When we get there, I walk into the recording space, songbook in hand, and grab a guitar. I sit down on the chair and look up nervously. Savannah nods her head at me as if telling me to go ahead. I begin strumming the guitar and start singing.

First things first
We start the scene in reverse
All of the lines rehearsed
Disappeared from my mind
When things got loud
One of us running out
I should've turned around
But I had too much pride

No time for goodbyes
Didn't get to apologize
Pieces of a clock that lies broken, If I could take us back, if I could just do that
And write in every empty space the words "I love you" in replace
Then maybe time would not erase me

If you could only know I'd never let you go
And the words I most regret are the ones I never meant to leave
Unsaid Charlie
Silent days, mysteries and mistakes
Who'd be the first to break?
Guess we're alike that way

He said, she said
Conversations in my head
And that's just where they're gonna stay forever if I could take us back, if I could just do that
And write in every empty space the words "I love you" in replace

Then maybe time would not erase me
If you could only know I'd never let you go
And the words I most regret are the ones I never meant to leave
Unsaid Charlie

If I could take us back, if I could just do that
And write in every empty space the words "I love you" in replace
Then maybe time would not erase me
If you could only know I'd never let you go
And the words I most regret are the ones I never meant to leave
Unsaid Charlie

When I look up I notice Charlie standing behind Savannah with tears in his eyes. The next thing I know, he's running towards me and wrapping me in a hug. "I'm so sorry Syd... I love you so much and I shouldn't have gotten mad, I just didn't want you to get hurt..." "Char... It's okay, I wrote this before we made up... I wrote it this morning..." "I'm still so very sorry..." "It's okay, I love you," I say. "That was amazing sis!" "Thanks..." Charlie lets go of me and Kenny comes in. "Sydney! That was beautiful, I'd love to incorporate that song into the Emily episode if you'll let me. If you don't want to, that is totally okay but we all love it, we would have to change Charlie to Emily if you'll let us," Kenny says. I look at him with a smile and say, "I'd love for that to happen, thank you very much, Kenny!" "You're welcome Syd," he says.

*3 hours later at home with the cast*

Kenny liked my song and I am happy he liked it but for some reason, I still feel so out of it. I'm still depressed and Savannah has noticed that about me. She keeps asking me if I'm okay and the answer is always the same, yes, I'm okay. It's Savannah, Charlie, Owen, Madison, Jeremy, Carolynn, and me back at the apartment. I decide to go get a drink but when I stand up, it's as if the whole world is spinning and I feel myself fall to the ground or I thought I was gonna fall to the ground but someone catches me. Then, everything goes black...
