Life Story

How you met:

You dropped your head on your desk in frustration. You had writer's block and could not come up with anything for a new song. You needed this new song to get a record deal. Your career was on the line!

Maybe if I go out I'll find some inspiration. You think. You put some writing stuff in your bag just in case you got something while you were out. Since you lived in an apartment, you were in the centre of the city. You put your wallet and phone in the bag and left.

Wait where am I going to go? Starbucks sounds good. I could go for a coffee. You walked down the street looking around but nothing really gave you a reason to write a song. You push open the door to the Starbucks and got on line. It wasn't very busy. You got your usual order. They called you name. You took it with a 'Thank you' and turned to find a seat. Well since your clumsy, you turned and ran into a guy, spilling it on him.

"Oh my gosh! I'm so sorry!" you said to him. You looked up at him and your eyes connected.

Damn. He's cute! you thought.

"Uh.. it's alright. It's just coffee."

"Here let me help you clean up." You grabbed some napkins and started to rub his shirt.

"I think you're making it worse." He said with a smile.

"Oh. um.. sorry." You said and blushed.

"It's okay. I have another shirt. I'll just go change in the bathroom." He left and you turned and sat down. You got out your notepad because you had an idea. You didn't have lyrics but you had some stuff to write down. You wrote down about his eyes, how you felt a connection, how you have no idea what his name is, how gave you a loss of words. "Whatcha writing?" you gasped and picked up the notepad so he couldn't see what it says. You looked up and saw the boy sitting in the seat across from you.

"Sorry. I didn't mean to scare you. I'm Calum." He said.

"Y/N." you said shyly.

"So what are you writing?"

"Oh just some ideas for a song I need to write."

"What's it about?"

"Oh, a boy I sort of met a few days ago."

"Can I see? I know about writing songs." You passed it to him and he smirked.

Yeah he knows it's about him you thought.

"Do you have any music yet?"

"Nope."

"What about like, 'Maybe it's something in his eyes, I look in them and I'm mesmerised. Maybe it's something in his smile, I just don't know if he'll go the extra mile..' "

"I like that!" He wrote it down. Then you said.

"Does he see me? Does he know? Will he ask to see me, after his show?"

"That's good!"

You two spent the next three hours coming up with lyrics for the song

"These lyrics are awesome! Do you want to come back to my place and we can write music?" He smiled at you

"Sure."

"Then I hope you don't mind walking." You put all your stuff in your bag and stood up. He stood up and followed you out.

"So Calum, tell me about yourself." You said while walking.

"Well my favourite colour is blue, and I'm in a band called 5 Seconds of Summer."
