We'd Be Better Off Together
Chapter 17: "One Day"
________________________________

Jack laid down on his hotel bed, waiting for that day to see his boyfriend Noah again. A pen and notepad sat in front of him, him gawning at the eraser. Suddenly, the pencil tip was rubbing against the once smooth paper, him writing a song.

She stares at her ceiling once again, with 100 thoughts.

"Maybe he knows who I am?"

"Actually, probably not"

She walks down the hall with her head down low

Scared to meet his eyes

Even when she hears his voice, she's swarmed with butterflies

It's impossible to get you off my mind

I think about 100 thoughts and you are 99

I've understood that you will never be mine, and that's fine... I'm just breaking inside

He always walks the crowded halls, and is blinded by this light

A girl who keeps her head down low, and never shows her eyes

He's tried to talk to her but there's no easy way

'Cause everytime he raises his voice, she runs away

Oh it's impossible to get you off my mind

I think about 100 thoughts and you are 99

I've understood that you will never be mine, and that's fine... I'm just breaking inside

And one day, maybe she'll stay

And start to head over his way

And one day, she'll look into his eyes, and instead of breaking, she'll call him mine

One day he'll grab her by the waist

And force them to meet

Face to face

And one day, he'll look into her eyes

And say that "You're my only light"

Oh it's impossible to get you off my mind

I think about 100 thoughts and you are 99

Maybe there's a chance that you will be mine

But right now... I'm just broken inside

After writing the song, Jack had tears streaming down his freckles cheeks. He laid his head down and slowly fell asleep.
