Oakley [ON HOLD]

22

Five days.

Its been five days since I've seen her last, and I've only got today to finish off my plan before everyone starts leaving for the holiday break tomorrow.

I've been skipping my class with her, afraid that when I see her I'd be too tempted to just run up and beg her to reconsider and give us another chance. But this needs to be done right, like it will be today since we've been planning this for the last couple days.

My fingertips are raw from the strings, obviously not use to the constant usage, as I strum across the strings while laying on my back, my head propped up slightly against the headboard.

The door swings open as my humming stops, Elijah walking in before faceplanting directly into his pillow, his body going limp.

"Well, afternoon to you too, sunshine" I tease as he turns his head and glares at me.

His eyebrows furrow slightly as they trace downwards to the guitar. He shoots up from his position gasping dramatically.

"Oh my god" I mutter under my breath.

"are you done, are you done, are you done, are you done" he presses as a shit eating grin spreads across his face, the bed squeaking under his little jumps as he buzzes like an excited child would.

"Are you aware of how annoying you are"

"Oh you love it" He mocks as he lunges toward my bed and splays himself across the bottom, letting out a sigh as he turns his head to me.

"Are you going to tell me what song you decided on?" he questions.

"It's kinda ironic, but I decided on Abba's 'take a chance on me', just the tune though" I say as he grins.

"hmmm let me guess, since you want her to take a chance on you?" he teases grinning.

I kick him on the ass as he twists and holds it, yelping in pain.

"so violent" he murmurs as his hand rubs the area.

"she'll like it, I hope. Its her favorite song from 'Mama Mia' which she said was her favorite movie and I'd say it fits the situation sooooo"

"Hmmm, I think she'll like it. Especially since you started learning how to play just for this" he agrees as he straightens out once again and places his hands behind his head, leaning on them.

I know that Oakley had offered to show me how to play any instrument when we went out to the town during thanksgiving break, but I hadn't thought about the offer until now and I thought learning it just for her would be nice in this situation.

"yeah, I hope so" I murmur.
