As they walked into the house, Pete and Patrick exchanged looks. They pulled their best friends apart from each other. Joe gave Patrick the gayest hug Pete had ever seen. Andy gave him a bro hug. "Oo. Patrick, since your here, you will sing"

"No I dont!"

"Yes you do! Look you signed it right there!"

With that, Joe pulled out a piece of paper. "Shit! Fine, I promised, and I never brake a promise."

Patrick was handed a guitar and started singing a song he hadn't herd before.

Don't panic, no not yet. I know I'm the one you want to forget. Cue all the love to leave my hart, it's time for me to fall apart.

Patrick looked at me, then to the ground. Pete smiled at his shyness, then realized that the music that was blasting through the speakers was turned off.

And now your gone, but I'll be okay. Your hot whiskey eyes have fanned the flames. Maybe I'll burn brighter to night, let the fire breath me back to life.

He looked Pete directly in the eyes. He stared into Patrick's  electronic blue eyes.

Cause baby you were my picket fence. I miss missing now and then. Chlorine kissed summer skin. I miss missing you now and then. Sometimes the darkness gets bigger before it gets better, the person that you'd take a bullet for is behind the trigger. We're fading fast, I miss missing you now and then.

Pete could feel the love that was radiating off of Patrick. He was gorgeous.

Making eyes at this husk around my hart.  I see throgh you when we're sitting in the dark. So give me your filth, make it rough. Let me, let me trash your love.

I will sing to you everyday, if it will take the pain away. Oh and I've herd got it, got it bad, cause I'm the best you'll never have.

"Ecept, I'll have you before you know it." Pete thought to himself.

Cause baby you were my picket fence, I miss missing you now and then. Chlorine kissed summer skin. I miss missing you now and then. Sometimes the darkness gets bigger before it gets better. The person you'd take a bullet for is behind the trigger. Oh, we're fading fast, I miss missing you now and then.

Now and then, now and then, now and then.

Baby you were my picket fence. I miss missing you now and then.

Pete almost didn't let Patrick finish the song, but he did. He led Patrick out back, now that the music was blasting again. "Patrick, from the moment I first herd you sing after practice, from the moment I layer eyes on you, I loved you."

"Pete..... I love you too, I wrote those songs for you hoping you'd hear."
