Fifth Harmony/You - Should've Been Us

Chapter 12

Tori and I lay on her bed in her bedroom with the door closed. I'm looking up at the ceiling as I play with her blonde curly hair. Tori's head is resting on my chest and she's deep in thought. She's spent the last ten minutes crying. I hated seeing her cry; it was like kicking a puppy or something. I know what you're thinking. Didn't you make her cry not too long ago? I admit that it wasn't my best moment, but I'm working on it. This time her tears weren't because of me it was because of the girls, more so Lauren and Normani or as their fans call them Laurmani. They were so cruel to Tori and I wanted to protect her, but there's only so much I can do. I already know those two are already planning something to get their revenge.

Tori sniffled and wiped the tears from her face before sitting up. I stopped playing with her hair to give her my full attention. Tori got up from her bed and walked over to her computer.

"What are you doing?" I asked sitting up and leaning against the headboard.

"What does it look like?" Tori said as she focused on her computer.

"That you might be going a little crazy" I said chuckling.

Tori clicked something on her computer with her mouse and her voice filled the room along with her playing guitar. She turned around in her chair to face me as I listening to the lyrics of the song.

You never hear me singin' love songs
wasn't big on poetry
never cried in the movies
didn't wanna feel so weak
I would never talk about it
never let it get too deep
but something in me's changin'
guess you did something to me

'Cause for the first time I get worried
when I'm lookin' in your eyes
that one day you might leave me
and it keeps me up at night
I guess that means I really love you
'cause I'm afraid to make mistakes
if you ever left me that would be my first heartbreak
oooh ooh oooh ooh oooh ooh oooh ooh
if you ever left me that would be my first heartbreak

Maybe I shouldn't be thinkin' so far ahead
better just enjoy this moment
and be happy for what I get
but you know it's not that easy
to get out of my head
so I guess that it's a good thing
when you want something so bad

'Cause for the first time I get worried
when I'm lookin' in your eyes
that one day you might leave me
and it keeps me up at night
I guess that means I really love you
'cause I'm afraid to make mistakes
if you ever left me that would be my first heartbreak
oooh ooh oooh ooh oooh ooh oooh ooh
if you ever left me that would be my first heartbreak

I wanna run I wanna stay
hold every piece so it won't break
wanna let go, wanna hold tight
afraid that I might suffocate, you with my love
how much is enough?
how much is too safe?

'Cause for the first time I get worried
when I'm lookin' in your eyes
that one day you might leave me
and it keeps me up at night
I guess that means I really love you
'cause I'm afraid to make mistakes
if you ever left me that would be my first heartbreak
oooh ooh oooh ooh oooh ooh oooh ooh
if you ever left me that would be my first heartbreak

I was speechless and not really sure what to say, but somehow I was able to form words.

"Wow, when did you write and record that?" I asked stupidly.

"I wrote that after the venue performance, but didn't record it until I went to the studio" Tori said.

"Oh, well it's good" I said smiling at her.

"That's it?" Tori asked.

"I'm not sure what else you want me to say really" I said.

"I don't know I was expecting more than it was good" Tori said.

"Well, you already know how talented you are and your fans know it too so what I have to say really doesn't matter. I mean you're signed to Capitol records so you're obviously better than good" I said.
