Best Friends Forever

Chapter 47: Story of My Life

Vanessa's POV:
I'm walking around the Performance Center feeling glum that i'm not cleared. I sit in the practice ring waiting for somebody to call me. My phone rings Top of the World I answer it.
Eva's POV:
I call Vanessa just to see how she's doing. I could hear sadness in her voice as she talks. I feel so bad that the Divas Champion is hurt but I keep strong.
Vanessa's POV:
I hear Eva tell me that all the Total Divas are rooting for a speedy recovery. After we hang up, I get on my bus to see John, Zack, Dean, Seth and Roman. Dean looks at me hopeful. I play a song on my radio.
Written in these walls are the stories that I can't explain
I leave my heart open but it stays right here empty for days
You told me in the morning you don't feel the same about us in your bones
Seems to me that when I die these words will be written on my stone
And I'll be gone, gone tonight
The ground beneath my feet is open wide
The way that I been holding on too tight
With nothing in between
The story of my life
I take you home
I drive all night
To keep you warm
And time is frozen
The story of my life
I give her hope
I spend her love
Until she's broke
Inside
The story of my life
Zack sings the next the verse
Written on these walls are the colors that I can't change
Leave my heart open but it stays right here in its cage
I know that in the morning now I see us in the light upon a hill
Although I am broken, my heart is untamed, still
And I'll be gone, gone tonight
The fire beneath my feet is burning bright
The way that I been holding on so tight
With nothing in between
We finish the song
The story of my life
I take her home
I drive all night
To keep her warm
And time is frozen (the story of, the story of)
The story of my life
I give her hope
I spend her love
Until she's broke
Inside
The story of my life (the story of, the story of)
And I been waiting for this time to come around
But baby running after you is like chasing the clouds
The story of my life
I take her home
I drive all night
To keep her warm
And time is frozen
The story of my life
I give her hope (give her hope)
I spend her love
Until she's broke (until she's broke inside)
Inside
The story of my life (the story of, the story of)
The story of my life
The story of my life (the story of, the story of)
The story of my life
After the song ends, I get a group message from Jeff and Matt
Group Text:
Heard about your injury.
Yeah it sucks being off the road.
I just wanted to say i'm sorry.
What are you apologizing for?
I'm the reason why you're injured!
It's okay Jeff. I was freaking out.
:'(
Jeff twist that frown upside down.
Where are you?
On my bus heading to Cameron.
You're coming to Cameron?
Yeah.
Who are you going to see?
A couple of brothers with the last name of Hardy ;)
Cool!
Hey Matt! :D
Hey Vanessa! :)
Do you guys have a recording studio in your house?
Yeah. You need it for something?
I finished a song about the WWE.
That's cool!
Anybody rapping on it?
John is doing the rap part.
The Hardy Brothers and I text each other the whole drive. I smile as I send my last message and lock my phone.
I hear a soft melody playing from a six string and some singing.
It almost feels like it was just a dream
All these memories of you and me
Blown away in the summer breeze
It almost feels like we just never were
All the time we spent was just a blur
Now it's just me and a melody
So what am I
Supposed to do
'Cause all these plans we made in the sand are through
Without you
I'm on my own
Am I gonna be alone?
And if it's only: me, myself and I
Will I be fine?
So far from home
And I just don't know
Am I gonna make it?
Brave enough to take this road
Out on my own
And maybe I'm fallin' on my face
Or maybe I'm landin' in my place
And maybe we're a million miles apart
Or maybe we're standin' heart to heart
But no matter what, I'm walkin' right off this stage
And never lookin' back, lookin' back, to yesterday
No way
No way
I'm on my own!
Yeah! Yeah, yeah
As long as I got me, myself and I
I'm doin' fine
So far from home
But now I know that I am gonna make it
Brave enough to take this road
Out on my own
It almost feels like it was just a dream
All these memories of you and me
It was Seth singing a song about Nikki. I look at him and we hug.
Seth's POV:
After Vanessa and I break apart from our hug, I want to watch a movie. I let Vanessa pick it out.
Vanessa's POV:
I pick out Frozen. Seth looks at me in shock and awe. We watch the sing along version and we're belting out Love is an Open Door so we reenact that song.
Vanessa: Okay, can I just, say something crazy?
Seth: I love crazy!

Vanessa: All my life has been a series of doors in my face
And then suddenly I bump into you...

Seth:I was thinking the same thing! 'Cause like...,
I've been searching my whole life to find my own place
And maybe it's the party talking or the chocolate fondue

Vanessa: But with you...
Seth: But with you

Seth: I found my place...
Vanessa: I see your face...

Both: And it's nothing like I've ever known before!
Love is an open door!
Love is an open door!
Love is an open door!

Vanessa: With you!
Seth : With you!
Vanessa: With you!
Seth: With you!

Both: Love is an open door...

Seth: I mean it's crazy...
Vanessa: What?

Seth: We finish each other's-
Vanessa: Sentences!

Seth: That's what I was gonna say!

Vanessa: I've never met someone--

Both: Who thinks so much like me!
Jinx! Jinx again!
Our mental synchronaiton
Can have but one explanation

Seth : You--
Vanessa: And I--
Seth: Were--
Vanessa: Just--

Both: Meant to be!

Vanessa: Say goodbye...
Seth: Say goodbye...

Both: To the pain of the past
We don't have to feel it anymore!

Love is an open door!
Love is an open door!
Life can be so much more!

Vanessa: With you!
Seth: With you!!
Vanessa: With you!!!
Seth: With you!!!!

Both: Love is an open door...

Seth: Can I say something crazy?
Will you sing with me?

Vanessa: Can I say something even crazier? Yes!
We laugh out loud at how crazy we are. Seth looks out the window and sees snow. Seth looks at me and I think about another Frozen song.
Vanessa:
Seth?
Do you wanna build a snowman?
Come on, let's go and play!
I never see you anymore
Come out the door
It's like you've gone away
We used to be best buddies
And now we're not
I wish you would tell me why!
Do you wanna build a snowman?
It doesn't have to be a snowman...

Seth: Go away, Vanessa

Vanessa: Okay, bye...
An hour later
[Knocks]

Seth:
Do you wanna build a snowman?
Or ride our bikes around the bus?
I think some company is overdue
I've started talking to
The pictures on the walls!

(Hang in there, Chris.)

It gets a little lonely
In my empty room
Just watching the hours tick by...
(Tick-tock tick-tock tick-tock tick-tock)
Two hours later
[Partly crying]
[Knocks]
Vanessa: Seth, please I know you're in there
Dean is asking where you've been
He says, "Have courage, " and I'm trying to
I'm right out here for you
Just let me in
I hope you just trust me
In this crazy time
What am I gonna do?
Seth: [Spoken]
Do you wanna build a snowman?
I shake my head no.
