Chapter 40

Gracie's POV

I sat sipping a crimson red slushy, I listened very closely as Dan talked.

"So I know it's annoying but can I ask about like Heathers?"

"It's not annoying."

"Okay, so what's it ever awkward doing dead girl walking?" I ask him.

"I mean like I have to remind myself it's acting, ya know? At the end of the day it's just work."

"Yeah, I guess I get that."

He glanced up to me, that same dorky smile. I smiled back, what just happened?

"What was your favorite song to be in?" I ask him.

He leans back in his chair, scratches his chin.

" 'Seventeen' defiantly."

"Really? I always loved that song. I always wanted to preform it with someone, never had the chance too." I tell him leaning back in my chair, sipping on my slushy.

"There's a Reharsael studio up the block, it's never booked around this time. If you want to go, just play around with the song."

Dan wants me to go sing with him? Interesting.

"I don't know? You're just so good and I'm-"

He stood up and pulled my hand, along with my body, up and out of the slushy place.

"Come on, It'll be fun"

Dan practically dragged me down 2 blocks and up seven flights a stairs to a small Reharsael room.

"This is nice!" I looked around in the room, I noticed ballet mirrors and Bar.

"Yeah! I have a had a few gigs here." I looked over to him where he was plugging up his phone into a speaker.

"What are you doing Dan?"

He looked all preoccupied, so I walked to him.

"You know the song, right? Well I'm plugging it up."

"We're just going to do the song?"

"Yeah why not? Gracie you are going to start from over there." He pointed to the right.

The music began to play.

I began to sing
"Fine, we're damaged
Really damaged
But that does not make us wise
We're not special, we're not different
We don't choose who lives or dies
Let's be normal, see bad movies
Sneak a beer and watch tv
We'll bake brownies or go bowling
Don't you want a life with me?
Can we be seventeen?
That's all I want to do
If you could let me in
I could be good with you
People hurt us"

I really got into character, and actually tried to do all the blocking for this part the same.
I looked over to Dan who was all in character, and then he sang,"Or they vanish"

I continue Veronica's part of the song,"And you're right that really blows,But we let go

"take a deep breath"

"Then go buy some summer clothes
We'll go camping,"

I didn't notice he had moved, until his hand was interlaced with mine. Stay cool, it's acting.

"play some poker"

"And we'll eat some chilli fries"

He put his hand on my waist. Stop freaking out, Gracie.

"Maybe prom night"

"Maybe dancing"

"Don't stop looking in my eyes"

"Your eyes"

"Can't we be seventeen?"

"Is that so hard to do?"

"If you could let me in
I could be good with you"

"Let us be seventeen
If we still got the right
So what's it gonna be

"I wanna be with you"

"Wanna be with you"

"I wanna be with you tonight"

He wrapped his arms around the smol of my back, and kissed me.

Just like in the musical.
"Yeah we're damaged"

"Badly damaged"

"But your love's too good to lose"

"Hold me tighter"

"Even closer"

"I'll stay if I'm what you choose
Can we be seventeen?"

"If I am what you choose"

"If we still have the right"

"Because you're the one I choose"

"You're the one I choose"

"You're the one I choose."

The music stopped, he turned back to me. He looked at the ground, the back at me.

"Well, you're a better kisser than Barrett"
