Laurie's POV

"Oh my gosh, dear, your song could be the next hit!" Amanda spoke while gasping after reading the song I wrote.

"Thanks man!" I completely froze. Oh shit, how fucking stupid of me, she's not just one of my goddamn friends. "I-i mean, ma'am." I stuttered and made an awkward smile before turning around.

She laughed from behind me. "It's fine, dear." She smiled to assure me.
Reya busted in the room and made a loud groan.

"Laurie!" She lazily walked over to me and put her head on my shoulder. Amanda looked at us and chuckled.
"Alright, sweethearts, I have to go take care of something." She paused and stared at Reya. "Don't get her drunk."
Reya rolled her eyes and closed it. "Ok." Reya replied in an annoyed voice. "Reya, sweetie, I mean it." She pointed her finger to Reya with a demanding tone in her voice.

"I won't!" Amanda nodded then glanced at me and smiled.

"If you girls need me, just call me by the office." She said, smiling as she head for the door and went outside.
After a few minutes of silence later, I spoke up.

"So -- are you getting me drunk or not?" Reya slapped my head jokingly and chuckled. "Nope." She stood up.
"I'm gonna get you to sing your new song."

I squinted my eyes, and looked up sarcastically trying to think things over. "Nah. Get me a bottle of tequila."
Reya laughed at my words then her expression became serious.

She folded her arms and sighed. "Get inside the glass thingy where you can scream and Sing!" Reya grabbed both of my hands, abruptly forcing me to get up.

"You win!" I smiled and grabbed my notes that Amanda was reading earlier. Reya pushed me inside while chuckling mischievously.

Reya gave me a questioning thumbs up before starting. I nodded understandingly and gave her a quick thumbs up before starting.

Reya lifted her hand and began to count.

"3...2...1!"

"I always needed time on my own.
I never thought I'd... Need you there when I cry."

I strung my guitar gracefully

"And the day feel like years when I'm alone. And the bed where you lie, is made up on your side.."

"When you walk away, I count the steps that you take. Do you see how much I need you right now?"

I began to play my guitar more fast and more loud.

"When you're gone, the pieces of my heart.. are missing you, when you're gone the face I came to know is missin', too, When you're gone the words I need to hear to always get me through the day.. and make it okay."

I looked down.

"I miss you.."

"I've never felt this way before.
Everything that I do, reminds me of you.."

"And the clothes you left, they lie on the floor and they smell just like you. I love the things that you do."

"When you walk away, I count the steps that you take.. do you see how much I need you right now?"

"When you're gone! The pieces of my heart.. are missing you, when you're gone the face I came to know is missin', too, When you're gone the words I need to hear to always get me through the day.. and make it okay.. I miss you --"
