Nick- 13|Melissa-11}

Nick had been working on this song for far too long, he just couldn't get the lyrics right.

He didn't really know why this was so hard for him to work on. It was crazy that him and his brothers had written their first album almost completely by themselves with no problem. Maybe it was just because this song was so special to him, and he just had to get it right.

Have you guessed who this song was inspired by?

"Now I'm speechless
Over the edge, and just breathless
I never thought that I'd catch this love bug again
Hopeless, head over heels in the moment
I never thought that I'd get hit by this love bug again"

His messy handwriting could be sometimes very hard to understand, but it was legible. At least he thought it was.

Besides having an amazing voice that always caught people's attention; his song writing was fantastic. A force to be reckoned with, because if you got him going, he could have a song done completely in a hour.

An hour soon passed by, and he was halfway through the song, and needed some major inspiration, maybe he could ask his mom if Melissa could come over?

As if God had read his thoughts, his mom knocked on the door, leaning against the frame a grin on her face as she looked at her son. "Hey, Melissa's mom just called, asking if Mel could come over, is that okay with you? Or do you wanna keep going at that song?"

Nick's brown eyes perked up and he grinned, "I'd love for her to come over, she's been asking me to teach her the guitar anyways." he said, setting his beat-up notebook aside and also his guitar.

Denise nodded, "it's about her, isn't it?" her feet slowly made their way across the room up, she picked up the journal and started reading the lyrics. "you can tel me if it is. We all know you have a crush on her." she smiled weakly at him, ruffling his curls.

"Mom!" his innocent voice squeaked and pressed the battered notebook against his chest... a few seconds went by and he smiled, "...yah... yes it is." he replied to her question and laid the notebook back on his desk.

"Well, I know it'll be perfect... when you write about her, you always know what to say." she said softly, kissing his head, and went to go call Cindy back, "love you Nicholas!" she called out to her semi-middle son. "love you too!" he yelled back and went to change out of the sweatpants that he was wearing. Even though he knew Melissa wouldn't mind one bit.

As Nick cleaned up just a bit, making sure his little curls looked well, and that he didn't look that tired for the young girl. Within a couple minutes there was a soft knock at the door and Melissa walked in, a smile plastered on her face. Even if they had just seen each other a few hours prior, his heart always skipped a beat as he laid eyes on her.

"H-Hey Nicky." she whispered, and came up to him, hugging him tightly, "how's that song you were telling me about earlier? Got any inspiration?" she asked, her little hands not letting go of him.

"It's going well... and yes, I think I did find my inspiration... I'm looking right at her." he tried to sound romantic, but it failed so badly. "Was that too cheesy?" he chuckled, his little curls bouncing.

The eleven-year old blushed like crazy, as she stepped back and plopped her little butt onto his bed. "Yup... it was." she whispered, taking one of his pillows, and held it close to her chest.

"Well, when it comes to you, I can't help myself. You make my heart race just when I look at you." he replied, sitting back down at the desk after putting on some music to drown out the silence.

{Flashback to the day before:}

Melissa and Nick were on their way home from school, walking a bit behind their siblings as they wanted to just be alone and be able to talk about anything their little hearts desired. "...so, that's what happened in my science class; a girl's project blew up in her face!" Melissa exclaimed, her brown eyes brightening as she spoke to her best friend.

Nick was listening to her speak, at least he thought he was, but he didn't really remember the story she had just spent five minutes telling him about. "Oh yeah? That sounds cool angel." he mumbled, his signature grin plastered on his face.

"You weren't paying attention, were you?" she asked, frowning instantly as she really didn't know why Nick was being that way.

He shook his head and sighed, "I'm sorry Lyss." he whispered, stopping her and pulling her to a nearby tree, "but there was something I wanted to tell you..." he said, leaning her against the oak tree.

Her brown eyes looked at him confused, and she kept a hand on him, needing to feel the comfort of knowing he was still there. "w-what's that Nicky?"

"I..." he started, his emotions and worries getting the better of him, and he looked down at how close they were to one another at that time. He had been feeling so different with Melissa for the longest time, and the most important worry always kept coming up... she was still a baby, eleven years old. He didn't want his preteen thoughts confusing her.

But he bit the bullet and just went for it, his head leaning closer to her, and pressed his little lips against hers. She immediately let out a soft gasp and within seconds it was over.

"I wanted to tell you that I love you Lyss, I always have, and I really wanted to do that, for a while now." he blushed and leaned his forehead against hers.

Melissa giggled, and pecked his lips once more. "I love you too Nicky." she whispered and pulled them to start walking again, her hand not leaving his for a second.

{Flashback: End}

Even though she was coming off with a vibe that she had forgotten about the kiss had occurred the day before; she still remembered every second of it.

"So, when will I be able to read or hear this song?" she asked, sitting up on her knees to be able to reach over for the beloved notebook, and flipped through a few pages, seeing titles like; Hello Beautiful, Inseparable, Just Friends, and Lovebug...

"Is this the song?" she asked, knowing that the other songs were probably without a doubt, about her; but she was more concerned with the last one. "Yup, wanna hear some?" he asked, grabbing his guitar.

She eagerly nodded her head, waiting for her best friend to come back and sit beside her. His young, beautiful voice bounced off the four walls that surrounded them.

"I kissed her for the first time yesterday
Everything I wished that it would be
Suddenly I forgot how to speak
Hopeless, breathless
Baby can't you see?

Now I'm...
Yeah oh
Now I'm speechless
Over the edge, I'm just breathless
I never thought that I'd catch this love bug again
Now I'm hopeless, head over heels in the moment
I never thought that I'd get hit by this lovebug again
Ohhh
Lovebug again"
