Heartbeat - Part 3

Song: Run and Hide by Sabrina Carpenter

Adelaide's POV:

Suddenly I felt a hand on my shoulder. I looked up and saw: Selena

Adelaide: * sighs * what are you doing here
Selena: apologize
Adelaide: don't you think it's a little too late
Selena: * sits down next to her * Adelaide we're really sorry
Adelaide: * looks at her * why Selena, why did you all lie to me
Selena: * sad * we didn't want to ruin your life
Adelaide: * sarcastic * oh and telling me now doesn't ruin my life
Selena: Adelaide please forgive us
Adelaide: * stands up * no Selena this is my heart defect, I have to deal with it and what you all did is unforgivable * walks away *
Selena: ADELAIDE!!!

I just ignored her...I had to go somewhere I could forget about this damn heart defect. I ran straight into the school and into the music room, I did something I've never done before...I started to sing

Adelaide: * grabs a guitar and starts playing *
I don't want to buy what they're selling these days
Saying feeling and falling is all a mistake, no, no
And why does everybody look at young hearts feeling love
Like it's just a matter of time before they break, no, no
They started saying when you can't hide, run
When you can't Run, Hide
Started thinking love's a loaded gun
Nobody wants to fight
And when did we all stop thinking that the world stops spinning in a kiss goodnight
And when did our heartbeat beating too fast stop meaning it was worth the while
I wanna, I wanna be loved
I wanna, I wanna be loved
I wanna, I wanna be loved
And I don't wanna run
I don't wanna hide

Traded out our eyes to light a screen
Traded out holding hands to holding back everything, no, no
No, no, oh
And words got shorter, and quiet got longer
And all of the sudden love started looking like a memory
No, no, no
They started saying if you can't hide, run
If you can't Run, Hide
Started thinking love's a loaded gun
Nobody wants to fight
And when did we all stop thinking that the world stops spinning in a kiss goodnight
And when did our heartbeat beating too fast stop meaning it was worth the while
I wanna, I wanna be loved
I wanna, I wanna be loved
I wanna, I wanna be loved
And i don't wanna run
I don't wanna hide, no
Hmm, no, huh

They started saying when you can't hide, run
When you can't Run, Hide
But love don't gotta be a loaded gun
Or a losing fight
And when did we all stop thinking that the world stops spinning in a kiss goodnight
And when did our heartbeat beating too fast stop meaning it was worth the while
But I wanna, I wanna be loved
I wanna, I wanna be loved
I wanna, I wanna be loved
And I don't wanna run
I don't wanna hide

And I don't wanna run
I don't wanna hide
And I don't wanna run
I don't wanna hide

This was the first time in my life where I have sung, it felt really good and i could forget about everything. I had just finished the song and tears rolled down my cheeks again, I took a deep breath. I didn't want to cry anymore but I couldn't help it, a while later I left the school again but now I had a problem. I didn't know where to go, I was too stubborn to go back to my family or my friends but I think I've already told you that but suddenly I had an idea...my grandma...she's 85 years old and I don't think my parents told her about my heart defect, so I went to her house and rang the doorbell

Grandma: * opens the door * Adelaide
Adelaide: * voice quivering * hi grandma
Grandma: * worried * what happened
Adelaide: can I come in
Grandma: * smile's a little * of course

She opened the door a little bit more and let me in, we went to the living room and I sat down on the couch. I began to tell:

Adelaide: * tears rolling down * grandma I found out about something really bad
Grandma: * gets more worried * sweetie please tell me
Adelaide: * takes a deep breath * grandma I have a heart defect
Grandma: * shocked * w-what
Adelaide: * cries even more * yeah but the worst part is that my friends and my family knew it and lied to me all over the years
Grandma: * hugs her * oh sweetie I'm really sorry
Adelaide: * crying uncontrollably * and I just wanted to ask you can I stay here for a while
Grandma: of course

Yeah I was right, my grandma didn't know about my heart defect. I was really glad she let me stay, I love her so much and I knew she would always help me.
