9 o'clock rolls around and I am so bored. I sit on my couch watching my fifth episode of Pretty Little Liars when I hear a knock on the door.

Hey," Finn says awkwardly as I open the door. I wasn't expecting him, so I only wore a big t shirt that went down to my mid thigh.

"Oh hey Finn!" I blush looking down at myself.

"Oh um don't worry about it! You look fine and I showed up uninvited. My phone broke though and I wanted to hang out."

"It's totally okay! We can totally hang out! Come on in." I say. We head up to my room and I change into a smaller t shirt and jeans.

"So what do you wanna do?" I ask sitting by him on my bed.

"How about me get to know each other." He says.

"Alright. What do you want to know about me?" I ask smiling.

"Oh there is so much I want to know about you." He says smiling back. Blush once again paints my face turning myself completely and uncomfortably hot.

Soon enough we are laying down on my bed next to each other talking about everything. Our likes, our dislikes, our memories, and even our childhoods.

"Okay, um I love guitar!" Finn says.

"Me too! Mines in my sisters room I think! That's where I last played it anyways." I say sitting up.

"Really? I've never met a girl who plays the guitar." Finn says sitting up next to me and smiling.

"Yeah hold on! I'll go grab it!" I smile at him.

"Okay cool!"

Soon I'm running to my sisters room and grabbing my cherry red guitar.

"The color is gorgeous!" He says when I come back with it. I hand it to him and immediately he starts plucking at the strings.

He concentrates hard on the strings. His eyebrows furrow in a bit and his face is stone. His jaw is clenched making his jawline sharper. He is honestly beautiful.

"Here! You should play something. And sing!" He says. I take the guitar hesitating.

"I can't. I'm not nearly as good as you!" I say shyly.

"Oh come on! You've got this!" He says.

I brush my hair behind my ears and start to strum the strings. The Music strums out of my fingers in a way that makes me calm down about playing for him.

The reason I love guitar is being felt in this very moment. The feeling of controlling the melody. The feeling of the strings contacting your fingers and sliding against each other making you feel in perfect harmony. Not only did I experience the guitar, but also I got to play it with Finn.

I start playing a cover of the song Where is my mind by The Pixies. I sing the first verse and the chorus before Finn adds in quietly.

His voice sounds perfect when he talks already, but his singing voice could put any creature to sleep. It's gorgeous. I quit singing for the last phrase of the song and let him finish it.

"Your voice is incredible!" I say finishing the last strum and feeling the vibrations fade away.

"Mine? Did you just hear yours? It's gorgeous!" He says. He smiles at me. I smile back.

"Thanks." We both say in unison. We sit for a minute in silence looking into each others eyes.

Our gaze is broken when Finn notices the time.

"It's late. I better be going." He says. I stand and so does he.

"Alright. If you have to." I say giving him a hug. I pull away from it but he keeps me in his arms.

I look up into his bright eyes. He is a lot taller than me.

"Janie?"

"Yeah?"

"Thank you. For giving me another chance."

"No thank you. I am sorry."

"Don't be." He says. He leans down and kisses me. I kiss him back and time seems to stop.

"I'm sorry. I just...you are the most gorgeous..I just.." I save him from his awkward words by pressing my lips against his again. His are warm and soft and I never want this moment to end.

"Bye Janie." He says when we finally pull away.

"Bye Finn." I whisper as he leaves.
