SCARS

Chapter 18

Noah turned the radio on and the song 'you belong with me' by 'taylor swift' played.

I hummed with the song. I don't listen to music that often but I love to listen. But unfortunately I dont have any phones or radios to listen. Emma plays these songs sometimes but most of the time she listens to weird stuff like raps on princesses. I mean no offence I like listening raps too but some things don't really makes sense, if the lyrics is about the frog Prince story than the music should not be loud and it should not be sang in the form of rap. I dont understand why people nowadays makes music too loud or too sad then needed.

"You like music?" Noah asked taking me back to reality.

"Uh...yeah yup." He giggled. I missed this sweet and heartwarming voice.

"So? How hv you been?.....I mean how r u?." Oh..this is the hardest question ever. I can answer any hard questions like how the solar system came to existence or why did humans decided to make underwears but not this question,this is out of my league.
it's a really good question, like I really want to know why they made a bra. Like why would someone want to wear such uncomfortable things when they can be naked. Oh I see...its for population control. "U there"

"Oh yeah......I.."

"What?"

"I dont know really. What about you?" I dodged the question. I know exactly how I hv been. I ve been miserably pathetic and unloved.

" Oh......me too." He let out a small chuckle.

" Uh...how is your mum and grandmother?.....oh I miss her!"

"Uh...she..uh...yeah she's good." Something seems off.

"What's wrong?"

"What? nothing...it's just....no one asks about my mum and grandmother often..." I know he is lying. He is off about something. But I m here to comfort him, whatever happens I will never let him suffer the loneliness I do. I will always be by his side.

"Hmm...."

Soon...my mind shifted to the song playing. It is 'closer' by the chainsmokers ft.halsey

Noah started singing
"So, baby, pull me closer
In the backseat of your Rover
That I know you can't afford.
Bite that tattoo on your shoulder
Pull the sheets right off the corner
Of the mattress that you stole
From your roommate back in Boulder." I hummed as he sang. His voice is mesmerizing.I could drown in it. I could watch his facial expressions and hear him sing for the rest of my life. "We aint never getting older."

"We aint never getting older." I joined him.

"I love this song." I said as he hummed in response.  "You look as good as the day I met you
I forget just why I left you, I was insane.
Stay and play that blink-182 song
That we beat to death in Tucson, okay."
I sang halsey's part.

"I know it breaks your heart
Moved to the city in a broke-down car" he sang

"And four years, no call
Now I'm lookin' pretty in a hotel bar" I sang.
"And I-I-I can't stop
No, I-I-I can't stop" we sang together. The mixed sound is making both of us feel relaxed. Both of us drowning in the mesmerizing tune.

"So, baby, pull me closer
In the backseat of your Rover
That I know you can't afford.
Bite that tattoo on your shoulder
Pull the sheets right off the corner
Of the mattress that you stole
From your roommate back in Boulder." We sang together.

We both got so engrossed, so mesmerized, so relaxed.i cant remember when I smiled an actual smile like this. Coz I truly believed that I never. I remember whenever I used to smile, the reason behind it was always Noah. He knows how to make me smile, how to make me feel alive.
