Things Happens
I looked down feeling that I’m going to throw up, I cover my mouth and by the time I looked at the backstage I saw Zoe, she crossed her arm and I can see her eyes is angry. I took a stepped back and face the audience again. I saw their faces like they want out of the stage, but Zoe put a lot to this and I need to do this for Nathan. I need to do this. I strummed my guitar feeling every beat it made and I started singing. I closed my eyes,
I know your face
Your eyes, your lips, your taste
I love the way
You know just what to say
I put a smile on my face and I slowly open my eyes, looking at everyone I can feel that they we’re enjoying their self in my music. I can see them smiling, clapping and sticking to the beat.
It was a Saturday
Remember it like yesterday
He knew my name
Imagine that I know this road
The way that no one goes
So cold, so cold
Baby, you’re so cold, so cold
“Put your hands up!” I shouted as I clamp by hand together, and strummed the guitar again.
Take it easy baby, we can make it right
Boy, you know my love is always on your side
Rest your eyes tonight
You know that my love
You know that my love is on your side
I stop for a moment and said, “Now, I need to tell everybody something.” A silent went by and I continued, “There’s someone that I like, even though he’s not here watching me, I just need to tell him how much I like him and I wanted him to know that he’s special to me.” I heard my voice enveloped the whole place and a huge shout in the audience made me smile and I continued my singing.
I love your pretty face
And how it rest on your pillowcase
We get in fights, you spend the night
And I don’t see how we get this way
But I think we’re alright
So cold, so cold
Baby, you’re so cold, so cold
I love this feeling, this feeling that I finally let out my inner self, that I just made a confession in front of this crowd. I love it, I feel like flying.
Take it easy baby, we can make it right
Boy, you know my love is always on your side
Rest your eyes tonight
Rest your eyes tonight
You know that my love
“My love is on your side” a gentle voice sang,
You know that my love
“My love is on your side” and again, I can feel someone standing by my side, and by the time I look at my side, my eyes are locked in those brown eyes. We’re so close to each other, almost breathing the same air. I can feel a warmth wrap on my waist, and I sang
You know that my love is on your side
The whole crowd went crazy and I just can’t believe it, Nathan is here, here by my side.
“I heard that.” He whispered into my ears and I just let out a huge smile on my face and Nathan just wraps me in his arms and so the whole crowd shouted for us.
As the lights went off and we went towards the backstage where Zoe was waiting for us, I can see her smiling her heart out.
“SAM!” she shouted as she ran towards us.
“ZOE!” I said as I ran towards her and I almost forgot that Nathan was holding my hand, “Oops Sorry.” I said as I face him, I can feel my cheeks burning up. What do I look like? Do I look like a tomato? Instead he just gave me a smile and slowly let go off my hand,
“Sam! You we’re amazing and congrats by the way.” She said as she hugs me.
“Congrats for what?” I asked her,
“Congrats that you finally did it, you finally said what you feel.” She said as she smiles at me, I did it. I just said to him that I like him. “and his waiting for you there.” she said as she pointed him out.
“Thanks a lot Zoe, Thanks a lot!” I said as I hug her once again and I almost feel my tears flowing.
“Don’t cry Sam, he’ll think that I’m making you cry.” She said as she laughs,
“You are making me cry.” I said as I wipe my tears and smile at her.
“Look who’s here.” She said as she turned me around to face Nathan.
“Hey.” He said as he wave at Zoe.
“Hey, I think I’m gonna leave you two first,” she said as she winks at me and mouthed the words “Go girl.” She went outside and cheer for the next performer and I was there standing in front of Nathan. I don’t know what to say but I need to say something,
“Hey, I thought you’ll be here not until next week?” I asked him as I look into those deep brown eyes again.
“Some things just happened for a reason.” He said and smile at me, “So? About earlier?” he finally asked, what should I say, oh my gosh! I don’t know what I should say, “Did you just confess to me?”
“I guess so?” I said as I lower down my head,
“So? Are we a couple?” he asked as he held my chin and raised it up, making our eyes meet.
“Uhmm..” I successfully uttered.
“I’ll take that as a yes.” he said and he just grab me and hug me right there, while the music on the stage is reaching us and it just seems that I can’t hear it the only thing that I am hearing right now is the beat of my heart and Nathan’s heart. Am I dreaming? Is this really happening? I think this is really happening.
“Nathan.” I said as I was resting my head on his chest.
“hmm..”
“I really do like you.” I said as I can feel my cheeks burning up.
“So do I.” he said and he tightens his grip on me and I just closed my eyes and wrap my arm around him.
“riiingriiingriing!” my alarm clock buzzed me off to bed the next day, I quickly went off to bed and start preparing for school. I ran through my hair and wear my sneakers, I went down and grab my breakfast and went out.
“Good Morning earth.” I said as I breathe in the air and let it out.
“Somebody looks happy today.” I voice said and as I look at my back I saw Nathan sitting on the stairs on our lawn.
“There’s a reason for me to be happy.” I said as I went to him. “Come on, we’ll meet Zoe in the corner lot.”
“Ok.” He said and he stood up and we went off together. As we walk I can’t help to look at him, I just can’t believe that I am walking side by side by him, I put both of my hand at my back and started smiling on my own.
“Why are you smiling?” he asked as he looks at me.
“I just feel like it.” I said as I continue walking ahead of him and then suddenly he grab my hand and smile at my face,
“It’s not fair that you’re the only one smiling.” He said and he clasp my hand on to his and he started walking, I felt my cheeks burned up and there we are walking while our hand our entwined together.
