Come And Save Me, Tonight.

No Surprise

As I was driving home, I decided to listen to the radio instead of my IPod. Trying to escape Aerosmith, and any thought of Steven. To my luck, Aerosmith came out with a new song, today, apparently, and the local rock station decided to play it. And something in the lyrics spoke to me. No, literally spoke to me. I couldn't help but to feel like Steven wrote this song as a message to me. 

  "Tell me what it takes to let you go, 
Tell me how the pain's supposed to go
Tell me how it is that you can sleep
In the night without thinking you lost
Everything that was good in your life
To the toss of the dice?
Tell me what it takes to let you go..

Girl before I met you I was F.I.N.E. fine. 
But your love made me a prisoner, yeah,
my hearts been doing time.."

pulled into my parking spot behind my apartmen complex, I decided it was time to grow up. Stop acting like a scared teenager, and man up. I took my phone out of my bag, and dialed a number. 
It picked up after the first ring, and I heard Steven's voice on the other line. 

"Hey Mia.." He said. 

"Steven I-.." I paused, not knowing what I should say or do. "I just heard your new song. I uh.. I like it. It's uh... it's about me isn't it? Can you come over? There's something I think I should say to you, or would it be easier for you if I came over, or met you somewhere? I could go to the little cafe again I'm sur-"

"I'll be over soon Mia, what's your address." He chuckled

I gave him my address, and then climbed out of my car and dragged myself up the stairs, terrified about what I had just done. I ran into the bathroom, and brushed my teeth, and fixed up my make up, and tried to redo my hair, but by the time I even picked up my hair brush, the doorbell rang.

~~~~~

I tried my best to smile, but couldnt manage a full fledged grin, so I settled for a wary smile, and went to open the door, only to find an adorable Steven Tyler grinning like the Cheshire Cat.

"Hi beautiful" He chuckled as he leaned in and kissed me on the cheek.

"Hi there, Steven, please come in." I said, still obviously tense, and nervous. "Do you want something to drink?" 

"Sure, what do you have?" He was still grinning, which made me even more nervous. He was up to something, and I didn't have the slightest idea what it was.

"Well, I am a bartender, so I can make anything you'd like.. uhh, Margarita? Jack, and Coke? Vodka, Soda? Bloody Mary? Pina Colada? Anything you want." I giggled, starting to loosen up a bit. 

"Well damn, you have a full bar in here. How about a Jack and Coke please." He smiled. 

I made his Jack and Coke, and I made myself a Margarita, just so I could calm down a bit. When I was done making our drinks, I walked back into the living room, to find Steven sitting on my couch, playing with Pike. I just leaned up against the wall watching him. He was so cute. When he noticed I was watching him, he looked up at me and smiled.

"Oh my god I love huskies! They're so beautiful, and he's so friendly! His eyes are absolutely gorgeous too!" He was having so much fun, which amazed me because Pike doesn't like anyone aside from me, and occasionally Lauren, or atleast when she feeds him. 

"Yeah," I replied "he's my best boy. I've had him for almost 8 years now. and I just couldn't leave him when I went to college, so I just took him with me." I said, as I handed Steven his drink. 

He took a sip, and his eyes became really wide and he just looked at me, and instantly became as excited as an 8 year old on Christmas morning. "THIS IS THE MOST DELICIOUS DRINK I'VE EVER HAD OH MY GOD ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!" He screamed as he was bouncing up and down, and he chugged his drink. 

I giggled, "thanks, do you want another one?" I asked as I took a sip of mine. He was right, I'm a damn good bartender. Everyone at USC comes to Pete's bar when I'm working, just because they love my drinks so much. 

"Of course! But first, say what you need to say to me, and I'll say what I have to say to you, before I forget it." he chuckled. Oh no... he had something to say to me? 

"Uhh.. err.. how about you go first?" I hesitated.

"Fine. Yeah, the song was about you" he started, "Mia Lynn, I hate PacSun.."
"Ohh.." I said

"Mia, I hate PacSun, theres never anything I can find, and the clothes and jewelry and sunglasses always brake on me, so I never shop there. But something, last thursday pulled me in. Some undescribable force pulled me into that store, and I didn't realize it until I saw you at the register, that, that force was you. That force is fate bringing me to you. I know it sounds crazy, and I know it's hard to believe, and fuck, I don't know if it's the sparkle in your eye, your independance, your swagger, or brains, your beauty, your quirkyness. I. Don't. Know. All I know is that I'm absolutely crazy for you. you just. you do something to me. You turned me onto you, and then you just left. Gone. and now I'm asking you. What can I do? I've been so upset this past week, and I didn't know what to do without you. I felt, how Blue looks. I just. I need you. I need to try and make things work. I know your scared. I can feel it. I can feel your raw pure emotion, I don't know how, but It's like something.. Fate, if you will, tied and electric rope around my heart and tied you to the other end of it. It's like you're in control of me, but you're not."

I could feel myself about to break down. I haven't cried in front of someone since I was 7, and I wasn't about to start now. 

"Excuse me, I'll be right back." I got up and walked around the corner to the hallway.
As I got out of sight, I sprinted to the bathroom, and tried to pull myself together. How is this possible that he said everything I've been thinking for the past week. could he feel the same way?
And then it hit me... 
Mary.
Mary told him everything.
