ALEC BENJMIN- LET ME DOWN SLOWLY 


" Hey rok , " luke ran toward me " Morning lu " i smiled " so , i was thinking , wanna hang out after school in my place  ?" luke spoke very fast . " i'll think about it ."   he walked next to me . "come on it's not like you have anything to do  , plus i'll teach you how to play guitar " . guitar ! i know how to play guitar , in fact i can play it since i was just a child  i master that instrumant .  i smirked at him " i can play guitar better than you "  he half smiled . " i don't think you're better than me"   , i stopped walking as he did the same .  " let's see who's better " . 

" why are you intrested in me " ? i raised an eyebrow at him as he slightly laughed "  i told you before i find you cool " 

" i had to rush or  i would  be late "  he said under his breath as i gigled   . " fine i'll meet you after school outside ." 

--------

we entered his house , his parents weren't home , he had a large pool with neon lights inside of it .  " you have a pool ? "  i asked . " yeah , we don't actually use it a lot , only for parties " he stepped on the edge of the pool . " nice " i respond . 

" Now wanna go so i can show you that i'm better than you in playing guitar ? " .  that luke is underestimating me . . " what did you say "  i raised both of my eyebrows . " i said that-- " i cut him by pushing him on the pool .   " that's what you get when you underestimate me " i laughed as i leaned lower on the edge .  " yeah yeah laugh as long as you want " i offered my hand to help get out of the pool , as he grabbed it  luke pushed me in his direction making me fall in the cold water .  i could hear his laughs under water . i splashed some water on him in revenge  .


later that day Luke and i are in  his room  .  he had guitars , a drum , a lot of punk posters  and other cool stuff . to be honest he has a pretty intressting taste , i liked his room . i wore his large white dragonball shirt and let mine dries up . 

After he changed ,The brown haired  teen grabbed his red acoustic guitar with a skull sticker on the edge of it . " show me your skills " he gaved me the guitar . we sat on his black and grey bed ,  i started to play  some random line i worked on it for fun , it ain't much but i tryed to work on a song since it's the only thing i find fun  . as i finished luke clapped his hands  " nice  , but not as nice as me "  he smirked . gaving him his red guitar" well , mister nicer than me  .. show me what you've got ". he started to play and sing  let me down slowly , his voice was actually a blessing for ears ,in fact i don't sing around people , i don't how but i started to sing too .

he stoped singing ( only playing ) as i continued to sing along 

Could you find a way to let me down slowly?

A little sympathy, I hope you can show meIf you wanna go then I'll be so lonelyIf you're leaving baby let me down slowly

luke stared at me speechless " w-what ? " i said nervous  " you sing !" he exclaimed ." was it that bad ?" i lowered my tune " yes it was that bad . are you joking ?! you are very talented " he shouted  . " what ? "  i raised an eyebrow   " you can really sing " he put his hands on my shoulders then he looked down slowly and whispered  " you can sing ! " he smiled ." yeah that what  you assume " i said awkwardly  . he looked up and smiled " can you be in my band ? " he asked  .i was a little shocked " in your band ? " 

" yes , you can sing . you're a singer .. please !!! "   

" idk , i'm girl and what about your mates .. " i replied as he cuted me  " so if you're a girl ? and nevermind of them they like you " 

 " But --  "  " you are what we are missing , come on say yes "   a puppy eyes look showed on his face . " you have  really funny way to convince me luke " .  he giggled and gave me a wide smile " i'll take that as yes " . i leaned on the side , my right arm holding my body weight , the edge of the large shirt that i'm putting on fell on the left side  showing my childhood scar .  luke noticed the scar above my heart , carefully he traced it with his finguers . " did you--"  . " i didn't do this , someone else did " he eyes went up looking at mine  " may i ask who ? "  . with no emotion i repsond " father "  

the boy sat on his bed , mouth wide open , not  breaking the staring  he couldn't believe what i just respond . i slightly smiled lowering my gaze " my father wasn't always a nice person " . gigling a bet i added " and i'm adopted now so , yeah " closing my eyes and smiling .

He just put his hand on my shoulder " are you okey rokeen ? " a worried expression was painted on his face . i added " yes i am " 

" i mean are you really okey ? "  i just looked at him  , i didn't know what to answer , a cat at my tongue 

-----------


suddenly luke looked at his window and shouted " hey look . starts are about to come out  " the sky turned into a deep dark blue matched with the color red and yellow from the sun . as 5 stars appeard   " let's go up to the roof " 

we stayed there watching the sunset while the stars shine  brighter every time the sun goes down and down . " i never asked you , what do you want to be in life "i tuned around facing luke by my side , 

" i don't know , i want to be a rockstar , but my parents are more into a doctor or a lawyer  , and i find it really boring . "  he replied 

 i looked at him  "   because it's normal , too normal , everybody lives the same life " i replied 

he looked at me  " and i don"t want to live the same life as them , besides , it's a waste of life if you don't do what you love  " he smiled  " what about you ? " 

"  to be noticed i guess " i looked at him making eye contact , i got excited and start waving with my hands while talking "  i just want to do crazy things , i want to face danger , i want to live my dreams , i want to stand on top of the world  and shout  : who's now the looser , who's the psycho that you all knocked her down "  i widely smiled taken by my imagination . 

" you know  , we make our own destiny , you can live your dream " he added  

" yeah , that's what keeps me alive " i added also 

" what do you mean ?" luke asked  " everyone gaves up on me , everything is messed up  , i've been rejected and my dreams also had been rejected so i kept one dream and i didn't tell no one  , and if it doesn't come true i'll  freaking  waiting no second to ..." i heavily breathed "  i'm just done with everything "  i put my head in my arms 

" i won't give up on you " he huged me and how good the feeling been huged by someone  when your heart is crying inside of you , it's warm and so emotional , it's maked me feel so unlonely and ... amazing , that i want to stay all night in his arms  

" thanks luke , really " i huged him back   " for real rokeen , i'll always support you no metter what you choose " i froze there between his arms smiling
