Unbroken

Chapter 11; I am a failure

Justin’s p.o.v

I asked Juliet to come over to my house today…I was surprised when she agreed. She even gave me her number. I was surprised she even let me stay with her at the studio. I liked to listen to her sing, there was just something about her voice that I craved. She had a voice, that was unique and beautiful. I had never thought about a girl so much in my life. Although, she was different than most, even though that is cheesy for me to say it’s the truth. I was and am falling for her. I had never met a girl as perfect as she is.

There is no way she was as fucked up as me. When she told me the story behind the song, I wanted to hunt down the damn bastard and beat him to death. There was no way I would let anyone touch her. Not now, not ever. She wasn’t mine, and she never would be mine…I didn’t deserve her. That doesn’t mean she should be with anyone else. If I couldn’t have her, then no one else could. 

‘Hey, come over whenever.’ I sent to Juliet.

‘Okay, it would be nice to have your address…’ She texted back, even over text she was a sassy little…

‘90210 West Palm Circle 902101’ I sent back. 

‘I am leaving a meeting now.’

‘k I have food if you are hungry.’

‘cool’

I hurried up and got ready. I didn’t dress up or anything I just put a pair of jeans on and a white v-neck with a snap back. I walked down stairs and heard a knock at the door. I took a deep breath before opening the door for her.

“Welcome” I said letting her inside.

“Damn, you have a big house.” She said looking around.

“Thanks”

“Well considering you have already heard like two of my songs don’t you think it's fair I hear some of yours?” She asked as we walked into the basement where the studio was. I was trying to contain myself.

“I guess…I am still working on my stuff though. Nothing is finished.” I said as I sat by the sound board.

“That’s not what Rodger said.” She smiled brightly.

“When did you talk to Rodger about me?” I asked. I was surprised she even brough me up to other people.

“He is my producer…and I asked him where you were because I hadn’t seen you in a while.” She shrugged.

“So you asked Rodger about me? I thought you wanted nothing to do with me?” I pushed.

“Shut the fuck up and sing something.” She snapped, while flashing a smile. I smirked, she must think about me.

“Fine, I’ll sing for you” I winked at her before walking to the sound board. I put the background music on so she could hear everything all together while I sang it inside the booth. “Just press this button and this button when I give you the thumbs up.” I showed her.

“I got it.” She said.

I walked into the booth and put my head phones on and gave her the thumbs up.

“Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

I won’t let the night stand in my way
I know what I want, I know what I get, yeah
I’m only here to find you, you
All I need is you by my side
All I wanna do is lay down next to you

'Cause all I need is one love, one love, one heart
'Cause all I need is one love, one love, one heart
Baby give it to me
'Cause I don’t want-want nobody when I got-got your body
Baby no no nobody has got what I need
'Cause I don’t want-want nobody when I got-got your body
Baby no no nobody has got what I need tonight

See I’ve made mistakes time after time, time, time
But no not today, won’t leave 'til I find what I’m looking for
I’m only here to find you, you
All I need is you by my side
All I wanna do is dance under the moon

'Cause all I need is one love, one love, one heart
'Cause all I need is one love, one love, one heart
Baby give it to me
'Cause I don’t want-want nobody when I got-got your body
Baby no no nobody has got what I need
'Cause I don’t want-want nobody when I got-got your body
Baby no no nobody has got what I need tonight

Your love is like a roller-coaster
The way that you take my breath away
It feels like I’m slowly falling deeper and deeper, deeper and deeper

'Cause all I need is one love, one love, one heart
'Cause all I need is one love, one love, one heart
Baby give it to me
'Cause I don’t want-want nobody when I got-got your body
Baby no no nobody has got what I need
'Cause I don’t want-want nobody when I got-got your body
Baby no no nobody can give it to me
'Cause I don’t want-want nobody when I got-got your body
Baby no no nobody has got what I need
'Cause I don’t want-want nobody when I got-got your body
Baby no no nobody has got what I need tonight.” I sang she didn’t know that I wrote the song about her; after all she was all I could think about the past few weeks.

“Press the button again, then the button next to it for the next song.” I said into the microphone.

“Hey, what's the situation, whoa?
I'm just tryna make a little conversation,
Why the hesitation, whoa?
Tell me what your name is? For your information,

Don't get me wrong
You know you're right,
Don't be so cold,
We could be fire
Tomorrow we go,
Let's start tonight
You know what it's all about

I can take you out, I can take you home
I can take you oh-oh-oh where you wanna go
I can pick it up, we could take it slow
I can take you home
I can take you out, I can take you home
I can take you oh-oh-oh where you wanna go
I can pick it up, we could take it slow
I can take you home

I might have a reputation, oh oh,
But there's only me and you in this equation
Promise this occasion, oh oh,
It's a different situation
For your information,

Don't get me wrong
You know it's right,
Don't be so cold,
We could be fire
Tomorrow we go,
Let's start tonight (tonight)

You know what it's all about

I can take you out, I can take you home
I can take you oh-oh-oh where you wanna go
I can pick it up, we could take it slow
I can take you home
I can take you out, I can take you home
I can take you oh-oh-oh where you wanna go
I can pick it up, we could take it slow
I can take you home

I can take you out, I can take you home
I can take you out, I can take you home

Baby, señorita, ma chérie, please be my little lady, my little lady
Mi amor, you're the one I adore, come on be my little lady, my little lady
Baby, señorita, ma chérie, please be my little lady, my little lady
Mi amor, you're the one I adore, come on be my little lady, my little lady

I can take you home
I can take you out, I can take you home

I can pick it up, we could take it slow
I can take you home

Hey, what's the situation?
(woah-woah-woah-woah-woah)

Hey, what's the situation?
(woah-woah-woah-woah-woah)” I sang and then walked out of the booth.

“You are a really good writer. I would love to hear more." She smiled. "You really have some talent, Justin. I have heard your past album…you have changed and you have grown up through your music. I really like these songs.” She smiled. She had no idea how much that meant to hear her say. She meant a lot to me. Yet she would never know.

“Thanks” I said sitting down next to her. “We should write together. I think your stuff is amazing, and you seem to think my stuff is amazing.” I said looking at her. All I wanted was to kiss her. It would be the perfect moment, if only I was good enough for her.

“I would like that.” She smiled.

“So, what do you want to write about?” I asked her. She grabbed her journal and flipped through it.

“I am not sure. What do you think?” She asked looking up at me.

“Let me grab my guitar” I grabbed my guitar and made sure it was tuned before strumming. “What about…” I played a few chords before singing.

“Just friends the beginning or the end….what makes you so beautiful is you don’t know how beautiful you are…to me.” I sang along with the chords.

“I like where you are going with that…lets add a few things.” She smiled. She didn’t even know that was what I was feeling towards her. It wasn’t that I didn’t have the guts to tell her. It was more that I didn’t deserve her. Someone as perfect as her deserved the world. I knew I could never give that to her…I would always be a failure. I am a failure.
