Alex's POV
I woke up on the couch that night and he wasn't there with me. I frowned to myself and looked at the clock it read 12:03 am
"Where are you ?" I whisper to myself
I waddle off the couch and look for kelly .
"Babe ?" I call as i walk up the stairs
I hear his voice low and muffled through the door of our bedroom rhythmically.
"Is he rapping ?" I whisper as i push the door
"What is love ? Love is pain . Love is butterflies and stomach aches.." he stops
"Hey what are you doing up ? He asks me
"Nothing , i was looking for you." I say
"What are you working on ?" I ask
"Nothing just a song ." He says

"Well what is it about ?" I ask

"Okay, here i go ." He starts

"Am I loud and clear?
Or do I gotta scream like I did every day when I was a troubled teen, huh?
Do you want to know my past and see every single scar and know what they mean, huh?
17 running up in Mickey D's begging for a double cheese, huh,
Singing "I don't want to grow up don't nobody like you when your 23"
I came from nothing but a fucking unsupportive father I don't ever see,
I had to watch a crooked jury put my brother in the penitentiary,
I never fit in.
Criticism, made me the man I couldn't be,
I'm reminiscing on when life was different spending every day at Chuckee Cheese, uh

We live on front porches and swing life away,
We get by just fine here on minimum wage,
If love is a labor I'll slave till the end,
And I'll run these streets if you give me a chance,

I've been here so long,
Maybe I should runaway,
Try to find a summer day,
What is love,
Love is pain,
Love is butterflies and stomach aches,
Love is looking out a windowpane, tears dripping looking like you're in the rain," He stops "well what do you think ?"

"It's awesome i like it ." I say "lets go to bed ."i say
