Guitar Boy~ L.h

As time went by I was getting more and more convinced that I was developing stronger feelings for Luke.
He occupied my thoughts most of the time, his presence was enough to make me nervous and feel butterflies in my stomach and every time we touched it was like electricity pulsing through my body, it was getting harder and harder to act normal around him and not let my feelings show.

"Hey Hailey?"

We were now hanging out in my room, I was hesitant to bring him at first because I thought his parents would get mad but after he told me he convinced his parents he had tutoring sessions Wednesday afternoons and begged me for a while saying he really didn't wanna go home, we agreed to come to my place every Wednesday.

"Yeah?"

"Teach me how to play something" he gestured my keyboard in the corner of the room.

"Why?"

"I dunno, I think it would be cool to be able to play more than one instrument"

"Alright come on"

We sat on the chairs in front of the piano, him having the lower keys while I got the high ones.

"I'll teach you one of the easiest songs I know, ever heard of terrible things by mayday parade?" He nodded eagerly "Okay we'll learn that one"

I taught him all the moves he had to do with his fingers by playing them a few octaves higher and soon he was playing it on his own.

"Now sing it"

"My brain will explode if I do, this is fucking hard" he said making me chuckle.

"Okay I'll play it and sing but you have to sing with me"

"Alright"

I started playing and singing, hearing his voice next to mine.

By the time I was your age, I'd give anything
To fall in love truly, was all I could think
That's when I met your mother, the girl of my dreams
The most beautiful woman, that I'd ever seen

She said, "Boy can I tell you a wonderful thing?
I can't help but notice, you're staring at me.
I know I shouldn't say this, but I really believe,
I can tell by your eyes that you're in love with me."

Now, son, I'm only telling you this
Because life can do terrible things.

Now, most of the time we'd have too much to drink
And we'd laugh at the stars and we'd share everything
Too young to notice, and too dumb to care
Love was a story that couldn't compare.

I said, "Girl, can I tell you a wonderful thing?
I made you a present with paper and string.
Open with care now, I'm asking you, please.
You know that I love you, will you marry me?"

Now, son, I'm only telling you this
Because life can do terrible things
You'll learn, one day, I'll hope and I'll pray,
That God shows you differently.

She said, "Boy can I tell you a terrible thing?
It seems that I'm sick and I've only got weeks.
Please, don't be sad now, I really believe,
You were the greatest thing that ever happened to me."

Slow, so slow I fell to the ground on my knees.

So don't fall in love, there's just too much to lose
If you're given the choice, then I beg you to choose
To walk away, walk away, don't let her get you.
I can't bear to see the same happen to you.

Now, son, I'm only telling you this
Because life can do terrible things

I looked up at him not being able to contain the smile on my face and feeling the butterflies on my stomach going crazy at the fact that his face was just inches away from mine and I could feel his warm breath hitting me, I noticed him leaning in slowly and I did the same, just as our lips were about to touch his phone went off between us making us jump away from each other. He coughed awkwardly and checked his phone.

"Is...is it your parents?"

"No" he shook his head "it's just Michael"

He sat there in awkward silence, neither of us knowing what to say, I swear you could feel the air growing heavier as time passed.

"So" I cleared my throat "wanna go get some food?"

"What? Oh food! Right, yeah okay"

We went downstairs and grabbed ice cream before going to the living room, we just spent the rest of the afternoon watching Netflix and cuddling, something about being close to Luke made me feel safe, hearing his steady heartbeat, breathing in his smell and feeling his chest weave up and down as he breathed made me so at peace I finally fell asleep.

This is bad I'm sorry.
