Jake sat at her side, his feet nervously tapping the floor. He stared at her face, calm and silent, her dark eyelashes complimented her pale skin.
Jake wanted to the say something, but he was too afraid.

Jake began to began to get bored. He grabbed his guitar,tuned it,then began to play.

----------------------------------------------------

My shining light, my firefly.

Everyone will see tonight.

My mind maybe stuck on Cloud Nine,

But my eyes are open wide

And I'll see,

The firefly in me.

-----------------------------------------------------

Jake continued to sing, his fingers glided across the strings.

-----------------------------------------------------

I'll fly,

My firefly and I,

No one can ever take this light,

Because they can't reach my height.

My firefly and I will light the world tonight.

---------------------------------------------------

As Jake finished the final chords, mild clapping was heard from the hallway. Jake looked up to see a man in a white coat leaning against the frame, his hair was slicked to perfection,his olive green eyes twinkled,and his smile seemed to light up the room. He seemed to be in his fifties.
"Hey, my name's Dr.Taylor," He said," That's a fine song."

"Thanks."

"Is this your girlfriend?"

"No!"

He chuckled. Jake scowled and said, "She's just a friend." Dr.Taylor nodded. He grabbed a chair and sat next to Jake. "So kid, what's your name?"

"Jake, Jake Green."

"Well, Jake, I'm no psychiatrist but I saw the way you looked at her," He said with a twinkle in his eye. "You're in love, kid."

Jake looked at the doctor in disbelief. "I have a girlfriend! I was just being nice! I don't like her!"

"No, but you love her."

The four-lettered word slapped Jake in the face. Love. Was I in love with her? ,He thought, Yes. No. Yes. No. Yes. Shut up! There was no fucking way he was in love!

"So, do you sing in church?," Dr.Taylor interrupted his crazy thoughts.

"N-no, I kinda don't sing in front of people."

"Well, you can learn."

"Huh?"

"On the weekends, I have a singing class. I have it for a few hours and its free! Maybe I can help you with your fear if you promise to come back here every week and play for Belle", The doctor said with a sly smile.

That sly bastard. Jake thought. He did need help with his glossophobia. "Sure,"Jake said, "Deal." They shook hands.

"This is great!" He picked a notepad and pen from his coat pocket and began to scribble down letters and numbers. He ripped it out and handed it to Jake.

"Thanks," Jake said. He put the paper in his coat pocket . "She's a really pretty girl," Dr.Taylor said, "Too bad she's alone." Jake's heart dropped.

"Well, gotta go!" The doctor said, running his hand through his wavy, black hair. "You can come to visit me tomorrow. I'll set everything up for you." They shook hands one last time and the doctor left. A couple of seconds later, Jake looked at his phone.

9:30

He turned to Belle.
Her lips,  light pink, seemed full of anticipation. He wanted to kiss her, he KNEW he wanted to kiss her. But instead he did a simple comb through her hair and left, not noticing the single tear that left the corner of Belle's eye.

So close to being in love.'
