The Way I Loved You-WTLGD2

Finding a melody

Bailey's Inner Monologue

I wonder if all those ubers would still find Nick so irresistible if they knew he drooled in his sleep. I mean so do I, I'm not judging, it's just a random thought that popped in my head as I laid here waiting for him to wake up.  I had ditched my spot on Nick's shoulder over an hour ago, ripped from my sleep with anticipation of working on my song for Sam...and I was growing impatient.

*B taps Nick on the forehead a few times. Nick pops open one eye before raising his head from the pillow and wiping his mouth with the back of his hand*

(Bailey) *smiles* oh good, you're awake

(Nick) *grumble-mumble* timeisit?

(Bailey) *singsong voice* 7:05 *giggles*

(Nick) *groan* you did NOT just JB lyric me this early in the morning...go back to bed

(Bailey) I want to work on my song for Sam

(Nick) *scoffs* we didn't go to sleep until after 3am, I can't believe you just woke me up for that, the song can wait, go back to sleep

(Bailey) I can't sleep

(Nick) sure you can, it's simple, start with shutting your mouth...

(Bailey) *scrunches nose* you're mean

(Nick) I'm sleepy...there's a difference *shoves head into pillow*

(Bailey) not if you are on the receiving end, just forget it *crawls over Nick, grabs her journal and walks out of the room*

*B walks down the stairs and finds Dad sitting at the counter reading the paper*

(Dad) *Looks up over his paper and smiles* Morning baby girl, you are up awfully early

(Bailey) *slumps into the stool next to Dad, upset* Mornin'

(Dad) uh-oh, what's wrong?

(Bailey) I can't sleep, I have a song keeping me awake

(Dad) *nods knowingly* I see, what kind of song?

(Bailey) an "I'm sorry I lied to you and didn't appreciate what I had till it was gone and now I can't stop thinking about you or crying because I miss you" kind of song.

(Dad) *cocks a brow* so...a country song? *smirks*

(Bailey) *giggles* yea...I guess

*Dad stands up from his chair and wraps his arms around B giving her a hug*

(Dad) I hate that your heart is broken, I wish I knew how to fix it

(Bailey) I'm hoping that is what this song will do, I'm going to sing it at the fundraiser event at school next weekend.

(Dad) *cocks a brow* you are singing?

(Bailey) *nods* I can't get him to talk to me or read my letters but he has to work the fundraiser, he has no choice but to listen.

(Dad) is it finished? Can I read it?

(Bailey) it's not finished...I kinda want to keep it to myself till it's done...

(Dad) *nods* fair enough, let me know if you need any help

(Bailey) *smiles* thanks *grabs journal* I'll be in the media room if you need me

*B hops down off the stool and walks into the media room shutting the door. Taking a seat at the piano she starts to play around with a melody, singing a line of her lyrics and making notes in her journal.*
