SONG FOR THE CHAPTER
•Hey Jude by The Beatles

this song calms me

-

MICHAEL C.

"Dude, you have to get out in your room! You haven't been out for ages." Calum said while he knocks on the door.

I sighed, rolling over on the other side of my bed.

"Michael!" Ashton called.

I groaned, getting up from my bed.

I walked to the door, I sighed opening it.

"Will you guys, leave me the fuck alone?!" I yelled, my three mates bended their heads down.

I didn't mean to be harsh on them, I'm just really not in the mood.

"We're just worried about you Mike, you haven't gotten out for like a month now." Luke said, playing with his hands nervously.

"Come on man, just go out in your man cave," Calum said, I rolled my eyes at him.

"What if I don't want to?" I scoffed, crossing my arms.

"Don't be mean michael, just forget-"

"Luke," Ashton interrupted Luke.

"She should not be named," Calum whispered, Luke and Ashton chuckled.

I rolled my eyes at them.

"How about you go somewhere and if you didn't have fun, well we won't beg for you to come out in your man cave. But, if you had fun then that's great and you owe us a box of pizza," Ashton offered.

"Are you really offering me that?" I asked, he nodded.

"Fine, deal." I sighed, he grinned.

I nodded, the three boys walked away and I closed the door.

Go out and have fun? Sounds tiring.

After I took a quick shower, I pulled on my black skinny jeans on my legs.

"Dammit! Why do you have to be so fucking skinny." I hissed, finally managed it to pull it over my legs.

I put on my iron maiden shirt. I decided to wear sunglasses to cover up the bags on my eyes. I put on my denim jacket and my black high-cut converse. I grabbed my black snapback and I put it on my head.

Getting out in my room for the first time in forever, I sighed.

I shouldn't have accepted Ashton's offer but if I didn't he'll keep begging me to do it, I don't have any choice.

Walking up to the living room, the boys looked at me smiling.

"Where are you going?" Ashton asked.

"Somewhere,"

"Oh, somewhere in Neverland!" Calum sings, Ashton and Luke chuckled at him.

"Anyway, have fun!" Ashton smiled.

"Yeah,"

"Bye Michael!"

"Bye mate, have fun!

I nodded, making my way to the front door.

I decided to go to the record store I saw at the street, I hopped out of my car.

I walked inside the record store, a small bell rang when I came in. hearing hey jude by the beatles playing on the stereos, I hummed softly.

this song calms me and it makes me feel a bit.. happy.

Walking around the record store, I hear sobbing coming from the corner.

Being curious, I walked up to the corner. I saw a girl sat on the floor, her hands covered on her face.

"Excuse me?" I said, bending down and tapping her shoulder.

She looked up at me and sniffled.

"Y-yes?" She asked, sniffling again.

Her eyes are puffy, I felt sad for her.

Being concern I asked her, "Why are you crying here in the corner of a record store?" I asked, sitting on the floor; facing her.

"N-nothing." She stuttered, shaking her head.

"Really? You don't look okay." I said, tilting my head to the side.

Staring at her for a second, I thought,

Wow. She's really pretty.

"I-I'm okay, just leave me alone." She snapped, I sighed standing up.

Well if this what I got for being nice then fuck it.

"Okay, if you say so." I said, shrugging my shoulders. walking away, she called me.

Then now she'll be sorry, ugh. so predictable.

"Hey!"

I turned around, "Yeah?" I said.

"I'm sorry for snapping at you, I didn't mean to snapped you. I'm sorry." She said, bending her head down.

"It's okay, don't need to be sorry," I said, she looked at me and gave me a small smile.

Deciding to smile back or not, I smiled back. this is my first time to smile again, the last time I smiled was when me and.. nevermind.

"Here." she handed me a piece of paper, I curiously looked at it.

"Uh, what is this?" I asked.

"It's a song list about my ex boyfriend," she said, I raised my eyebrow at her.

"So," I trailed of, I didn't know what she really meant about it.

"Look at the first song on the list," She said, nodding my head I looked at the paper.

1. Hey Jude by The Beatles

"Hey Jude by The Beatles?" I asked.

"Have you ever heard that song before?" She asked, I nodded.

"Okay, do you hear the song playing on the stereo?" She asked, I nodded. a puzzled look formed on my face, my mouth formed an 'o' shape.

Now I get it, she's crying because she heard a song that reminded her of her ex boyfriend.

"Do you get it?" She asked, I looked down at her and nodded my head.

"Okay, then,"

"So, why do you remember him in this song?" I asked, she looked up and sighed.

"Because he loves this song," She sniffled, I nodded my head.

"Um, are you going to help me out or what?" She asked, a chuckle escaped from her mouth.

"Oh, shit. Sorry." I said, helping her to get up.

She wiped the tears on her face, "Thanks." she said, smiling.

"Sure, no problem." I said, smiling once again.

I guess leaving in my man cave isn't a bad idea after all.
