Best Friends Forever

Chapter 122: Matt's Still Sick

Vanessa's POV:

I'm in the Tampa airport waiting for a flight from Florida to Los Angles. I'm on the plane and I see the Los Angles skylight the plane lands at LAX. I smile and I leave the airport. As i'm on the streets, I sing a song.

Hate New York City
It's cold and it's damp
And all the people dressed like monkeys
Let's leave Chicago to the Eskimos
That town's a little too rugged
For you and me, you bad boy
Rollin' down the Imperial Highway
With a big nasty redhead at my side
Santa Ana winds blowin' hot from the north
And we was born to ride
Roll down the window, put down the top
Crank up the Beach Boys, baby
Don't let the music stop
We're gonna ride it till we just can't ride it no more
From the South Bay to the Valley
From the West Side to the East Side
Everybody's very happy
'Cause the sun is shining all the time
Looks like another perfect day
I love L.A.
I love L.A.
Look at that mountain
Look at those trees
Look at that bum over there, man
He's down on his knees
Look at these women
There ain't nothin' like em nowhere
Century Boulevard
Victory Boulevard
Santa Monica Boulevard
Sixth Street
We love L.A.
I love L.A.
I love L.A.
I love L.A.

I'm in the Capital Records building and I start singing.

Love, like a road that never end
How it leads me back again to heartache
I'll never understand
Darling, I put my heart up on the shelf
'Til the moment was right
And I told myself
Next time I fall in love
I'll know better what to do
Next time I fall in love
Ooh, ooh, ooh
The next time I fall in love
the next time I fall in love
It will be with you
I hear a male voice singing the next verse.
Oh now, as I look into your eyes
Well, I wonder if it's wise to hold you
Like I've wanted to before
Tonight, ooh, I was thinking that you might
Be the one who breathes life
In this heart of mine
Next time I fall in love
I'll know better what to do
Next time I fall in love
Ooh, ooh, ooh
The next time I fall in love
the next time I fall in love
It will be with you
Dean and I finish the song.
Next time I'm gonna follow through
And if it drives me crazy
I will know better why
The next time I try
Next time I fall in love
I'll know better what to do
Next time I fall in love
Ooh, ooh, ooh
The next time I fall in love
the next time I fall in love
It will be with you

After Dean leaves, I stay and sit in on a recording session for a song.

[Jeff:]
From the way you smile
To the way you look
You capture me
Unlike no other
From the first hello
Yeah, that's all it took
And suddenly
We had each other
And I won't leave you
Always be true
One plus one, two for life
Over and over again
So don't ever think I need more
I've got the one to live for
No one else will do
And I'm telling you
Just put your heart in my hands
I promise it won't get broken
We'll never forget this moment
Yeah we'll stay brand new
'Cause I'll love you
Over and over again
Over and over again
[Lita:]
From the heat of night
To the break of day
I'll keep you safe
And hold you forever
And the sparks will fly
They will never fade
And every day gets better and better
And I won't leave you
Always be true
One plus one, two for life
Over and over again
So don't ever think I need more
I've got the one to live for
No one else will do
Yeah I'm telling you
Just put your heart in my hands
I promise it won't get broken
We'll never forget this moment
Yeah we'll stay brand new
'Cause I'll love you
Over and over again
Over and over again
[Jeff:]
Girl when I'm with you
I lose track of time
When I'm without you
You're stuck on my mind
I'll be all you need
Until the day that I die
I'll love you
Over and over again
[Both:]
So don't ever think I need more
I've got the one to live for
No one else will do
I'm telling you
Just put your heart in my hands
I promise it won't get broken
We'll never forget this moment
Yeah we'll stay brand new
'Cause I'll love you
Over and over again
Over and over again
Over and over again

After Lita leaves, Jeff sits in on a session with me.

Here I am, lost in the light of the moon that comes through my window
Bathed in blue, the walls of my memory divide the thorns from the roses
It's you and the roses
Touch me and I will follow in your afterglow
Heal me from all this sorrow
As I let you go I will find my way when I see your eyes
Now I'm living in your afterglow
Here I am, lost in the ashes of time, but who wants tomorrow?
In between the longing to hold you again
I'm caught in your shadow, I'm losing control
My mind drifts away, we only have today
Touch me and I will follow in your afterglow
Heal me from all this sorrow
As I let you go I will find my way
I will sacrifice 'til the blinding day when I see your eyes
Now I'm living in your afterglow
When the veils are gone as I let you go, as I let you go
Touch me and I will follow in your afterglow
Heal me from all this sorrow
As I let you go I will find my way, I will sacrifice
Now I'm living in your afterglow
Bathed in blue, the walls of my memory divide the thorns from the roses
It's you who is closest

Jeff leaves Los Angles and head back to Cameron thinking about Matt. An hour later, i'm in the driveway to the beach house. I go inside and I see Matt. He notices me and we watch a hockey game. After the game, Matt and I sit in a weird silence I break the quiet and race to the studio. Matt sits in a session. I sing a song.

Wise men say only fools rush in
But I can't help falling in love with you
Oh shall I stay, would it be a sin
Oh if I can't help falling in love with you
Oh like a river flows surely to the sea
Darling so it goes some things are meant to be
Take my hand, take my whole life too
Oh for I can't help falling in love with you
Oh like a river flows surely to the sea
Darling so it goes some things are meant to be
Oh oo-ooh take my hand, take my whole life too
For I can't help falling in love with you

Oh oo-ooh for I, I can't help falling in love with you
