Redneck Love Song

Pretty Heart

Seth sent us all the set list for tonight and Morgan was NOT happy. Parker was added to the set for tonight so that he could promote his new single. Ernest and I are sitting tonight out, since we will be performing two nights in NY, we will be singing more tomorrow and Parker will be gone.

"Why the hell is he coming?" Morgan asks as he clenches his jaw.

"Seth wants him to promote his new single. I heard it's pretty good." Ernest says

"He better not go near you." Morgan says glaring at me.

"It's okay. He won't bother me."

"She'll be fine dude. You ever been hit by her?" Michael says, making us laugh.

"Shut up." I say, playfully hitting him on his arm.

"Hey y'all." We turn around and see that Parker was finally here. Yay.

"Hey." Everybody says, except Morgan.

"Parker, you're on in 1 minute". The stage manager calls out quickly, making him walk away from the awkwardness.

Parker goes onto the stage and begins his new song. I can't lie, the song is really good but I can't help but feel like in some ways, it was about me.

I didn't think I was a bad guy
I knew that you were good
You were golden on the inside
And you loved me the best you could
I'm the one who dropped the ball
Got you high and let you fall
Let the best thing I ever had slip away
And what does that say about me?
I could do you like I did
That I could break an angel's wings
What does that say about me
That I stood there like a fencepost
As you drove off in your car
What does that say about me
Now that I broke
Your pretty heart
Your pretty heart
I been drinking like a drunkard
In these Austin neon lights
Burning smokes and wondering
If there's anything I've done right
Well I wish that I could go back
Hang on to what I had
Guess that's all, babe
Nothing but a dream
What does that say about me?
I could do you like I did
That I could break an angel's wings
What does that say about me?
That I stood there like a fencepost
As you drove off in your car
What does that say about me?
Now that I broke
Your pretty heart
Your pretty heart
What does that say about me?
I could do you like I did
That I could break an angel's wings
What does that say about me?
That I stood there like a fencepost
As you drove off in your car
What does that say about me?
Now that I broke
Your pretty heart
Your pretty heart
Your pretty heart
Your pretty heart

When he was finished, he walked off the stage and Morgan was ushered to take his place. Parker took this as an opportunity to talk to me about everything that went down.

"Please just hear me out." He pleads, his eyes look full of sincerity and I can't help but feel guilty. Did I overreact about the situation? maybe he really did mean well.

"Fine. Start talking." I say and he looks relieved.

"I'll admit, what I did was a bitch move and I'm really sorry. I've been falling for you since the moment our eyes met on my first day at Big Loud. The dates we went on and the time we spent together only made it that much more difficult to get you out of my mind. When Seth asked if he thought it would be good for you to go with Morgan in tour, I panicked. It's harder to show you how wrong he is for you when you are thousands of miles away from me." He finally stops talking and takes a breath, leaving me with silence to think about what he just said.

"Look i'm glad you are taking accountability for your actions but I don't appreciate you saying Morgan is wrong for me. Why do you think that? He's done nothing but be kind to you, and he treats me amazing." Parker glances at the stage and sees Morgan sending him a death glare, and hurries to end our conversation.

"You'll find out soon enough. Trust me. I'll be here for you when you do, always remember that." He quickly walked away and I rolled my eyes. What could he possibly be talking about? I think about this for the rest of the night.

Was Morgan hiding something from me?
