Chapter #98
Sam’s POV
I’m down in the studio trying to work on ‘Hold On’ it’s emotional and it’s difficult to write but I’m almost done with it. “Hey Babe you’ve been down here for four hours are you stuck?” Scarlett asks. “No it’s just this song is emotional and it’s from your perspective. I don’t know, do you think you could help?” I say. “Yeah sure let’s see what you have so far.” She says sitting next to me. “I remember this day. Let's work on it when I’m not hormonal.” Scarlett says. “Yeah, good idea. How about I play ‘Used To Be Young’?” I ask. “Yeah that one won’t make me a hormonal sobbing mess.” She laughs. “Oh you should check Instagram.” Scarlett tells me. “Ok.” I say pulling out my phone.

“Now people know I can be a big softy.” I say. “Is that a bad thing?” Scarlett asks. “No I guess not. It’s a cute meme though.” I tell her. “I thought so.” She smiles. “Now get out there and sing.” She says shooing me out of the soundbooth.

“The truth is bulletproof”
“There's no fooling you”
“I don't dress the same”
“Me and who you say”
“I was yesterday”
“Have gone our separate ways”
“Left my living fast”
“Somewhere in the past”
“'Cause that's for chasing cars”
“Turns out open bars”
“Lead to broken hearts”
“And going way too far”
“I know I used to be crazy”
“I know I used to be fun”
“You say I used to be wild”
“I say I used to be young”
“You tell me time has done changed me”
“That's fine, I've had a good run”
“I know I used to be crazy”
“That's 'cause I used to be young”
“Take one, pour it out”
“It's not worth crying 'bout”
“The things you can't erase”
“Like tattoos and regrets”
“Words I never meant”
“And ones that got away”
“Left my living fast”
“Somewhere in the past”
“And took another road”
“Turns out crowded rooms”
“Empty out as soon”
“There's somewhere else to go, oh”
“I know I used to be crazy”
“I know I used to be fun”
“You say I used to be wild”
“I say I used to be young”
“You tell me time has done changed me”
“That's fine, I've had a good run”
“I know I used to be crazy”
“That's 'cause I used to be young”
“I know I used to be crazy”
“Messed up, but God, was it fun”
“I know I used to be wild”
“That's 'cause I used to be young”
“Those wasted nights are not wasted”
“I remember every one”
“I know I used to be crazy”
“That's 'cause I used to be young”
“You tell me time has done changed me”
“That's fine, I've had a good run”
“I know I used to be crazy”
“That's 'cause I used to be young”

I finish the song and walk into the soundbooth. “How was that?” I ask. “Perfect. Can I sing a song I wrote for you?” She asks. “You wrote me another song?” I ask with a smile. “Yes. You take my spot and I will go sing it.” She says. “Ok I can’t wait to hear it.” I tell her.

Scarlett’s POV
I wrote this song last night after Sam fell asleep. We had a very deep conversation about how I wasn’t feeling good about myself due to being three months pregnant. I hope she likes it. I have to lower the mic because my wife is bigfoot. I just look her right in the eyes as I sing.

“Not a stitch of makeup, I wake up”
“Feeling less than great”
“I think I'm crazy, from lazy”
“I'm always running late”
“And you come home right on time just to see me”
“You see me at my worst”
“And I'm thinkin' you're thinkin'”
“I don't know why I married her”
“But you say”
“You're beautiful, so beautiful”
“Oh and you hold me tight”
“You're beautiful, so beautiful”
“And I can't speak or I'll cry”
“Oh I don't deserve you”
“'Cause I always hurt you”
“Then you'll say the perfect thing”
“You're beautiful, so beautiful to me”
“You take care of business and listen”
“And make time just for me”
“And I'm busy rushing and hushing”
“Just so I can speak”
“And you roll your eyes that look into mine”
“And tell me just to wait”
“And I'm thinkin' you're thinkin'”
“She's crazy but I love her anyway”
“But you say”
“You're beautiful, so beautiful”
“Oh and you hold me tight”
“You're beautiful, so beautiful”
“And I can't speak or I'll cry”
“Oh I don't deserve you”
“'Cause I always hurt you”
“Then you'll say the perfect thing”
“You're beautiful, so beautiful”
“I am selfish, self-absorbed”
“Narcissistic, is this normal”
“Running late, such a mess”
“Too many details, where's my dress”
“I wear a watch to conquer the world”
“Where's my keys, the tank's not full”
“I get in shape, it's hard to breathe”
“Do you love me, oh you love me”
“But I don't deserve you”
“'Cause I always hurt you”
“Then you'll say the perfect thing”
“You're beautiful, so beautiful”
“You're beautiful, so beautiful”
“Oh and you hold me tight”
“You're beautiful, so beautiful”
“And I can't speak or I'll cry”
“Oh I don't deserve you”
“'Cause I always hurt you”
“Then you'll say the perfect thing”
“You're beautiful, so beautiful to me”
“You're so beautiful”
“So so beautiful”
“You're so beautiful to me”
“You're so beautiful”
“So so beautiful”
“You're so beautiful to me”

I sing the whole song without breaking eye contact. I notice some tears fall from her eyes. Once I stop the recording and take off the headset Sam comes running out of the soundbooth and engulfs me in a huge hug. “When did you write this?” She asks since I don’t have any instrumentals yet. “Last night after you fell asleep. After our converstation about how I was feeling shity about my body and you made me feel better.” I tell her. “I was telling the truth. You are beautiful even when you don’t feel like you are.” She says and I just bury my head into her chest. “I love you so much.” I say. “Baby I can’t hear you when you talk into my tits.” She chuckles I lift my head and look into her beautiful blue eyes and repeat myself. “I love you so much.” I say and then bury my head back into her chest. “I love you too Penguin.” She says tightening her grip slightly and kisses the top of my head. “Oh shit Penguin you have a meeting in an hour.” Sam says. “Fuck I better go get ready. And we have our interview tonight with Jimmy.” Scarlett says. “Which Jimmy?” I ask. “Fallon.” She says before pulling me down for a kiss. “Oh yeah we are announcing the pregnancy and we are singing tonight as well.” I say, remembering what Tina said. “Yep I’ll be home in a little bit. Love you.” She says leaving the studio. “Love you too.” I call out.
