I called Shawn to tell him about my decision to start Youtube, the next day. Within seconds the door bell rang. I ran downstairs and was surprised to see him at the door with several lights, a camera, a microphone, and of course; his guitar. He looked like a traveler that had over packed for a trip.
"Hey" I greeted as I opened the door to let him in.
He attempted to wave at me but ended up dropping the microphone. I bent down and picked it up for him and moved out of the way to let him in. But when he took one step inside the door he lost his footing and fell and landed on top of me. We both landed with a thud, Shawn and the equipment on top of me. I don't think it hurt him as much as it hurt me, I'm pretty sure I got some bruises. We laid there for a few seconds, his face inches away from mine. I stared up into his eyes and completely forgot about the fact that I couldn't breathe since I was being impacted by Shawn's weight and the stuff he was caring. It wasn't until Shawn got up and helped me up while constantly apologizing to me.
"What the hell happened over there?!" my dad yelled from across the house.
Me and Shawn looked at each other in horror, then I looked away from him and yelled back
"Nothing, we just dropped the equipment!"
"Is Shawn there?"
"Yeah."
"How do I know that it wasn't him trying to do the shame sham-"
"DAD!" I pleaded, I could feel my face starting to burn up. I looked over at Shawn and he laughed an embarrassed laugh as his face began to turn red. I then quickly lead him up the stairs to try and to avoid my dad so that he wouldn't say anything else, but we weren't fast enough. We were half way up the stairs when my dad appeared at the bottom of them.
"Whoa Shawn, you're a lot stronger than I thought you were."
"Uh, thanks Mr. Rivera" Shawn said but it came out as more of a question.
"Ok let's go-" I tried to urge Shawn to hurry up so we could get away from dad, but my dad stopped us.
"And where do you think you two are going?" he questioned.
"We're going to my room to film a video" I answered impatiently.
"When you say video, do you mean like a sex ta-"
"NO! DAD PLEASE, WE'RE GOING TO FILM A VIDEO OF ME SINGING!" I covered my face with the lights that I was holding.
"Ok fine but leave the door open."
"What why?" I asked.
"WHAT IF YOU GET PREGNANT?!" my dad accused.
"Oh my god dad!" I say running up the stairs, but when I turned around I saw my dad put his hand on Shawn's shoulder.
"You know I'm joking right Shawny? I trust you with my daughter." he cooed but he squeezed Shawn's shoulder really hard causing his face to show clear pain. My dad let go and Shawn followed me into my room.
"I am so sorry about my dad." I apologize while helping Shawn set up for the video.
"It's ok, my dad's the same way with Aaliyah."
Once we set up the lights, the camera, and the microphone, we moved a few things to fit the piano into the frame.
"Ok, so do you know which song you want to sing?" he asked picking up my song book from my dresser and flipping through it.
"Yup, it's called gravity. It's like the second song I've written."
Shawn stood behind the camera and used his fingers to countdown from three, then gave me a thumbs up, signaling me to start.
"Hey guys, I'm Melissa Rivera and I'm going to be playing an original song called gravity. I hope you enjoy." and with that, I took a deep breathe and started to sing.
"Something always brings me back to you.
It never takes too long.
No matter what I say or do
I'll still feel you here 'til the moment I'm gone.
You hold me without touch.
You keep me without chains.
I never wanted anything so much
Than to drown in your love and not feel your rain.
Set me free,
Leave me be.
I don't wanna fall another moment into your gravity
Here I am and I stand so tall, just the way I'm supposed to be.
But you're on to me and all over me.
Oh, you loved me 'cause I'm fragile
When I thought that I was strong.
But you touch me for a little while
And all my fragile strength is gone.
I live here on my knees
As I try to make you see
That you're everything I think I need here on the ground.
But you're neither friend nor foe
Though I can't seem to let you go.
The one thing that I still know is that you're keeping me down.
You're keeping me down, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
You're on to me, on to me, and all over...
Something always brings me back to you.
It never takes too long."
I stopped singing and looked at Shawn and he smiled at me, then stopped filming.
"That was so beautiful." he said once he stopped it. I thanked him and sat next to him as we created an account on Youtube for me, and then uploaded the video. Once the video was up, I hugged Shawn from the side and said
"Thanks Shawn, you da best." causing him to laugh and he turned and hugged me back.
"Anytime..................... Mel."
"I hate you..................... Shawnster."
He pinched my cheek and I stuck my tongue out at him. Don't we have such a loving friendship?!
