It's about time

Charlis POV:

Charli: "you're so good what are you talking about!"

I'm back in the hospital so it's a great time for Chase to sing to me some more.

I'm feeling better then ever, I'm back on my feet. The meds have kicked in and it's been long enough from my last round of chemo that I don't feel so tired.

That's all gonna change when I get the third round this week.

Chase: "if I was so good then I think someone would get me a record deal. Or something at least."

He is great at playing guitar. And singing.

Charli: "do some more"

He sighed and picked up his guitar again

Chase: "what do you want me to sing"

I smiled thinking of a song

Charli: "sing our song"

Maybe we shouldn't have a song. After all this is only an affair.

Chase: "no. I've given you some lessons. I want you to sing our song."

He thinks I can play?

Charli: "I'm terrible at playing guitar"

He shook his head

Chase: "that isn't true. Let me see you play."

I groaned

Charli: "fine. I will play. But after you see how bad I am, you'll want me to stop"

He handed me the guitar

Chase: "okay. Go for it."

I began strumming the cords I knew

Charli: "I heard that you're settled downnnn
That you found a girl and you're married nowww
I heard that your dreams came trueee
Guess she gave you things, I didn't give to you
Old friend, why are you so shy?
Ain't like you to hold back or hide from the light"
I sang

...

Charli: "I hate to turn up out of the blue, uninvited
But I couldn't stay away, I couldn't fight it
I had hoped you'd see my face
And that you'd be reminded that for me, it isn't over"

I mean...It's our song for a reason...

Charli: "Never mind, I'll find someone like you
I wish nothing but the best for you, too
"Don't forget me, " I beg
I remember you said
"Sometimes it lasts in love, but sometimes it hurts instead"
"Sometimes it lasts in love, but sometimes it hurts instead""

Why did we pick such a sad song to be our song?

Chase: "okay stop."

I stopped playing

Charli: "was it bad?"

He shook his head

Chase: "cant we have a happier song as our song?"
Charli: "well then it wouldn't really be our song, would it..."

I put the guitar down

Charli: "I don't know if I want to be there when you get married..."

He places his hand on mine
