Tough Love | g.d |

t h i r t y t w o

Today's we're off to Colorado, I was exited, but at the same time nervous.

Excited because I knew that there were people there who couldn't wait to meet me, but nervous because of the things that would be said to me by those who didn't want to see me again.

I begged Grayson to let me stay home, but he said that he wanted me by his side. Ethan even said that it was best that I should go, but I wanted to stay home and record. But, this time I would be recording on my own.

Maybe if I said that, he would let me stay here.

"Hey Gray?"

"No, you're going." 

He said like a parent would tell their child, who kept nagging.

"But, common. I have to record today. I told Aaron that I would start recording on my own, soon."

"Yeah, I remember that, but can't that wait until after the meet and greet?"

"Grayson, common. I want to record. Please?"

As soon as I said that, Ethan walked through the doors.

"Bro, will you please back me up here?"

"With what?"

"I have to record today and he wants to go with you guys."

"Just let her stay here and record, its almost been a solid 2 weeks since she posted something up."

I smiled at what Ethan said, I knew that if Ethan said that, Grayson wouldn't turn it down any longer.

"Please babe?"

"Fine, but the video better be done and uploaded by the time we get back, which wont be until late."

"It will, I promise."

"Okay," His words came out muffles as he hugged me. "keep the door locked."

"I will. Have fun."

I kissed him goodbye then gave Ethan a short, small hug before they both walked out.

After I locked our door, I went in the other room, where all of our luggage was. I grabbed my camera and keyboard setting things up.

I shot Aaron a simple text.

To: Aaron

Uploading soooooon. 

From: Aaron

What song are you doing?

To: Aaron

Surprises ;)

From: Aaron

Oh, common. Why can't I know?

To: Aaron

If I didn't tell Ethan nor Grayson, then I'm not telling you. You'll just have to wait until its up, like they have to.

From: Aaron

But, Sarah.

To: Aaron

Nope, text you later. 

I set everything up in the living room, I had know idea how to start this or where to even start, so I just went with the flow.

I hit the record button and went from there.

"Hey guys, Sarah here." I waved, tapping the keyboard with my other free hand. "So, today I'm gonna be dong a cover of Pretty Girl. i hope you'll enjoy it."

I practiced this song, over and over so I wouldn't mess up.

'I can swear, I can joke
I say what's on my mind
If I drink, if I smoke
I keep up with the guys
And you see me holding up my middle finger to the world
Fuck your ribbons and your pearls
'Cause I'm not just a pretty girl

I'm more than just a picture
I'm a daughter and a sister
Sometimes it's hard for me to show
That I'm more than just a rumor
Or a song on your computer
There's more to me than people know

Some days I'm broke, some days I'm rich
Some days I'm nice, some days I can be a bitch
Some days I'm strong, some days I quit

I don't let it show, but I've been through some shit

I can swear, I can joke
I say what's on my mind
If I drink, if I smoke
I keep up with the guys
And you see me holding up my middlefinger to the world
Fuck your ribbons and your pearls
'Cause I'm not just a pretty girl

I'm more than just a number
I'm a hater, I'm a lover
Sometimes it's hard for me to show
That I'm more than just a title
Or a comment going viral
There's more to me than people know

Some days I'm broke, some days I'm rich
Some days I'm nice, some days I can be a bitch
Some days I'm strong, some days I quit

I don't let it show, but I've been through some shit'

I was nervous playing it and knowing where it was heading.

So, I thought of Grayson the whole time.

I didn't mess up, surprisingly, which was a plus.

"Well, peace."

I chuckled and put my hands up on the lens then turned the camera off. 

"Well, that wasn't as bad as I thought."

I said to myself, then I grabbed my camera going to my laptop to start uploading it.

The fact that it takes forever to upload a video, bothers me. 

It took almost an hour to upload it, but it was finally up.

"Now, he can't bitch at me for not posting it."

I chuckled at my own comment.

Aaron, must of seen my video at this point because my phone was being spammed with messages.

From: Aaron

Yo, I loved your new cover!

From: Aaron

ITS SO GOOD

From: Aaron

Like, damn girl!

I laughed at each of his messages, but I never replied back due to the twins both walking in.

Aye, whats up?

If you don't know the song, it's Pretty Girl by Maggie Lindemann.
