Falling For Him

A Kiss Is Worth A Thousand Words

(A WEEK LATER AND STILL IN KENTUCKY)

(JOSH P.O.V)

I walk up to the door of Claire's room with a coffee in my hand. I knock then I hear a thump and I hear her groan so I try to hold back a laugh. She opens the door so I pull myself together.

"Hey, I uh brought you some starbucks." I say while handing her the coffee.

"Thanks uh you want to come in and hang out I just gotta shower real fast." She says opening the door and then running into the bathroom. I laugh as I hear another thump. I hop on the couch and turn on the t.v. Then I hear something. I quietly walk towards the bathroom door. Claire sings in the shower that is so cute I think to myself. 

  "Everything's gonna be alright."
She whispers to herself.
She was only 6 years old that night.
As she hid behind that shelf.
Cause daddy had a little too much to drink.
And mama didn't want her to feel the pain she felt.
But she still felt the pain...

Well 10 years they came and went,
And dad was gone.
So she looked for love in other men.
And tried to act strong.
Oh, broken hearts and scars in only places she could see.
Cause she just wanted, she just wanted to feel something.

And as she sat there on her bed,
Thinking 'bout what those girls said,
Tears streamed from her eyes.
She cried...

"If there's a God out there
Please hear my prayer.
I'm lost and I'm scared,
And I've got nowhere else to go.
I've come a long, long way.
But I'm not sure I can make it much farther...
So if you're listening, could you give a helping hand.
To your daughter."

Well her path started to change.
She reached out and grabbed God's grace.
And finally, she saw a light.
Until the night,
Where she decided one drink was alright,
And one thing led to another.
Next thing you know, 9 months go by,
She's a mother.

And as she laid there in that bed.
Stroking that small angel's head.
Tears streamed from her eyes.
She cried...

"If there's a God out there.
Please hear my prayer.
I'm lost and I'm scared,
And I've got nowhere else to run.
I've come a long, long way.
But I'm not sure I can be the best mother...
So if you're listening, could you give a helping hand.
To your daughter."

Well that baby grew into a boy.
Who became her pride and joy.
He loved her like no man could.
And her heart felt peace, cause she finally understood.
God's love.

So as she laid there in that bed,
99 years old.
She grabbed her son's hand and said.
"There's something you must know..."

"There is a God up there.
Who heard my prayer.
I was lost and afraid.
And I had nowhere else to go.
I had no clue, what to do
And then He sent me you."

So if you're lost and afraid,
And you feel so alone,
Don't worry child,
Cause there's a Father who will love you as His own.
Just like He loved His daughter.
Like He loved His daughter."  

I smile as she finishes the song. Then I hear the shower turn off and so I sprint and jump back on the couch and pretend like nothing happened.

"Hey." She says wearing some shorts with a flowy black v-neck.

"Hey." I say rubbing the back of my neck.

"Thanks for the coffee." She says while taking a sip and savoring it while letting the warm liquid make her smile. I blush and put my head down so she won't see me.

"So Josh what time does the show start?" She says taking another sip and then sitting on her bed. 

"Oh um." I clear my throat. " Well we all need to be at the venue at seven and then it starts at nine." 

"Oh okay." She says while drying her hair with a towel. I get up and head to the door.

"Hey, so I'm going to go see you at the show." I say as I walk out the door.

(9:00 pm)

(CLAIRE'S P.O.V)

I am back stage with the boys and they are in make-up. I look at them and smile as they run out on stage and greet their fans. Josh looks at Tyler and nods.

"Hey, clique I would like to introduce someone that is going to help us sing this song." Ty said

"Our new roadie Claire!" Josh screams. Next thing I know I am on stage in front of hundreds of people. Tyler hands me a mic and we sing Lovely I have so much fun that I am pretty much on the stage the whole time with them. As they finish out the show we all take a bow. I run backstage full of adrenaline. Tyler and Josh come up to me. I hug Ty and then hug Josh but he picks me up, spins me and then I feel lips on mine. I pull away, smile and give him a quick peck back. 

"A kiss is worth a thousand words and I couldn't think of a thousand words to say so I just kissed you." He said with me still in his arms.

"That's okay." I said as I get out of his arms.

The all we hear the crowd scream is encore so Josh hands me a mic and we all go out there. Josh whispers something in my ear "Sing." I nod and sing a song that makes me feel like I'm flying.

"Like a small boat
On the ocean
Sending big waves
Into motion
Like how a single word
Can make a heart open
I might only have one match
But I can make an explosionAnd all those things I didn't say
Wrecking balls inside my brain
I will scream them loud tonight
Can you hear my voice this time?This is my fight song
Take back my life song
Prove I'm alright song
My power's turned on
Starting right now I'll be strong
I'll play my fight song
And I don't really care if nobody else believes
'Cause I've still got a lot of fight left in meLosing friends and I'm chasing sleep
Everybody's worried about me
In too deep
Say I'm in too deep (in too deep)
And it's been two years I miss my home
But there's a fire burning in my bones
Still believe
Yeah, I still believe And all those things I didn't say
Wrecking balls inside my brain
I will scream them loud tonight
Can you hear my voice this time?This is my fight song
Take back my life song
Prove I'm alright song
My power's turned on
Starting right now I'll be strong
I'll play my fight song
And I don't really care if nobody else believes
'Cause I've still got a lot of fight left in meA lot of fight left in meLike a small boat
On the ocean
Sending big waves
Into motion
Like how a single word
Can make a heart open
I might only have one match
But I can make an explosionThis is my fight song
Take back my life song
Prove I'm alright song
My power's turned on
Starting right now I'll be strong (I'll be strong)
I'll play my fight song
And I don't really care if nobody else believes
'Cause I've still got a lot of fight left in me Know I've still got a lot of fight left in me"

I finish and all I hear is applause. I smile and I walk off stage again and lean against the wall. When the boys are done we all head back to the hotel. When I get into my room and collapse on my bed I instantly fall asleep.
