More than this (Jailene - One Shot)

They met.

I let her be. Because I guess that's what she  needed right now. I ache whenever she starts to cry. A couple of times I  have the urge to wipe them, but I tried not to. She needed that. She  needs to let that out. All I can do is be with her, and hope that she  knows I will always be.

I wanted to let her know that she didn't need to  feel that pain anymore. I wanted to tell her that there's a guy out  there thankful for her existence. But I can't, yet.

"I heard some of your interviews." She started to speak. I guess she have calmed down a bit.

"Cool. Thanks. Not every one gets to watch us." I replied.

"You always have this one celebrity crush." She proceeded.

"Yeah. That one fine lady." I was now blushing, I'm thankful it's not really bright where we are.

"Why?" She asked.

"Why what?" I asked.

"Why do you like that girl so much? You don't even know her." She almost whispered in a sad tone.

"Why not? She's a tough cookie. She's an  inspiration. She's someone any girl would like to be. Not to mention  she's really really a beauty."
I answered in all honesty.

"That's only the surface. Nobody knew the  real her. The one behind the camera, the clothes, the make-up. The one  behind a smile. They don't know her inner struggles, her inner thoughts,  her inner feelings. All you see people are the ones being asked about  her. But no one knew, her interests, her fears, her dreams. No one  really knew her." She sighed after.

I put my guitar down. I looked her in the  eye. How I always dreamed of being this close to her. I am too close for  her fears and dreams. I saw them all in her eyes. Her hair was flowing  in the wind. And her eyes, its twinkle are brighter than the stars. I  looked directly to her eyes, intently and honestly,

"So let me Shari." I asked with all my heart.

The sadness and fears are now back in her eyes. She looked away. "I've heard that before."

I felt a pang as she said that. "I know, and I'm not in a hurry. And you don't know me either. There's a lot you need to know about me."

She looked back at me. "What for?" Tears are building up in her eyes.

"Because.. You are worthy.." I rambled with my words. I wiped her tears. "Because you are worth.. more than this."
