"There." I smiled at Hayes. For a long time in a while I'm finally seeing how he looks when he's all dressed up.

"How'd you meet her anyway?" I asked Hayes as I watched him comb gel through his hair. He just shrugged.

"That sounds nice." I rolled my eyes.

"Now have fun, I'll see you later." I pushed him out the door. "Have fun with Ethan!" He yelled to me before leaving.

I shook my head chuckling. I walked into the bathroom and showered changing into black jeans and white lace top. I tied up my Vans and sat on my bed waiting for Ethan.

"Hey Malia!" Shawn barged through the door. He had a guitar on his back in a case. He placed it down beside his bed and tackled me on my bed.

"Hey Shawn! What have you been up to?" I asked sitting back up. I kneeled to grab my comb and I begin brushing my hair.

"I just came back from the beach. I was writing a new song." He said.

"Can I hear?" I glanced over to him.

"You'll hear it one day."

"Whaaat. Song for song?" I suggested. "Deal."

"You first!" I bubbled. He opened his case and took his guitar out. I gazed at it in admiration. "That's so pretty."

"She's gorgeous." He smiled and began to softly play the guitar. I stared again in amazement. He's so gorgeous and angelic.

"I wanna go back
Forget that it's over
Paint it in black,
When you left me alone
I never knew she was sleeping next door with the kid I grew up with,
And I can't go back to her anymore, no

You tell me you were happier with him, you want me to stay
And you tell me that you needed time but you pushed me away
And when you try to take me back, my heavy heart just breaks
No, I can't lift the weight."

"It's still a work in progress." He places the guitar down. "You are fucking amazing. You never cease to amaze me."

He chuckled, cheeks turning pink. "Awww!" I cooed squeezing his cheeks. He brushed my hands away.

"Your turn!"

"Well this is one I'm still working on." I grinned placing the guitar on my lap. I nervously looked down.

"Malia, you got this. I am in love with your voice. I can't wait to hear you play guitar. You'll be great!" I rolled my eyes.

"Like time passes inside of me
Times when I'm happy, days where I cried
So much my chest went numb
Like the sun that rises and sets every day
And the moon, I send them away naturally

Sometimes I cry,
Sometimes I laugh,
I have expectations
And I go through pain
I get butterflies once again
And become dull
Following my heart, the way that I am

Like the countless stars I'm always in the same place
I'll shine on you with all the light I have
So don't hide yourself, will you show me you?
Be comfortable with the way you are
That's right, it's okay to be okay." I sang plucking the strings.

I looked up at Shawn and he was smiling so widely. His eyes were sparkling. I heard claps behind me and quickly turned to see Grayson clapping and Ethan behind him smiling.

"When did you guys get here?" I panicked. "A while ago. What song is that? I wanna google it." Grayson said.

"My original." I chuckled giving the guitar back to Shawn.
