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
