it girl // milo manheim ✰

dopey, grumpy, and little miss sleepy.

"Sammy! Callum! Food is ready! Come down and meet milo!" I yelled as milo turned to me.
"I'm really excited to meet your sister and her boyfriend, it's fun having a new friend for a change. Someone that doesn't necessarily live near me you know?" He said as my sister and her boyfriend walked in.
"Hi! My name is Sammy and this is my boyfriend Callum! I've heard tons of things about you from Lanie over here and don't worry! All good things I promise!" She rambled.
"Nice to meet you mate." Callum said as he shook Milo's hand.
"Alright! Now that introductions are over, how about we eat the delicious food Milo and I made!" I suggested as we walked to grab soup and grilled cheese. We sat on the couches and began to decide which movie to watch.
"Dang Lan, how come you never make food this good at home??" My sister asked confused.
"Well! No one wants to help so I end up settling for something less. Milo here, was an amazing sous chef!" I said patting him on the shoulder.
"Oh well I like to think I was the head chef and you were my sous" he chuckled.
"Ha in your dreams jacob." I smiled.
"Alright what about we watch the conjuring!" My sister said.
"Yes you know I love horror!" I said super excited. I was super happy she picked a horror movie because we grew up just loving to watch different horror movies. I never really got scared but it was fun to call out different characters for being super dumb.
"Never seen it but I'm down!" milo said.
"Yay!! Pop it in!" I said as I grabbed everyone's bowls and put them in the dishwasher. I grabbed a blanket and reclined the seat so o could be comfortable. I looked at Milo and flashed a quick thumbs up and he looked a bit dazed but I assumed he was just tired. As we watched the movies, I started to send my sister some smirks. She knew exactly what I was doing. "I'm gonna go grab a pillow. I'll be right back!" I walked out of the living room and grabbed a mask I found in a closet at the house we were staying at. I walked super quietly and tiptoed behind milo and as soon as I saw a jump scare coming I prepared myself to pounce on him. "BOO!" I screamed as I jumped on him.
"OH MY GOD WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK." he screamed.
I took off my mask as I was leaning on him and pushing myself into my seat on the couch. "Haha I got you!" I said dying of laughter.
"I nearly had a heart attack. I thought you were some demon from the movie!" He said gasping for air and clutching his heart.
"Surprise! I got you so good." I said still laughing. "Sammy! Did you get it all on video?"
"Right here! Turn on your airdrop!" I looked at my phone and accepted the video and said "oh I'm totally posting this later!"
"Fine, but I'll get you back!" He said determined. As we finished the movie, i invited milo up to my room to hang out since we weren't really tired. And milo was spooked from the movie I could tell. As we walked into my room I opened my balcony door to let in some warm air as I sat on my bed and milo sat on the beanbag. "So did you like the movie?" I asked.
"Yeah, but I don't think I'll be sleeping tonight." He said nervously.
"Don't worry about it. Hopefully by the time we go to bed it'll be off your mind. And if you are spooked still, you're welcome to sleep in my room!" I said perking him up.
"Alright, well I'm gonna shower and change and then we can hang some more." He said getting up.
"I'll do the same. Hopefully I'll be done by the time you are." I said walking into the bathroom. I connected my phone to the speaker and put on some music I was working hoping he wouldn't come back. I needed to finish this song by the time I came back for my conservatory project. I played the playlist of songs and as I got out I was about to stop it when it got to my unfinished track. I paused it and finished getting ready. As I sat on my bed, Milo wasn't done getting ready so I decided to finish up my lyrics and mash them up with the music. I grabbed my laptop and opened my lyric page. I began to write the lyrics to the song that he would end up hearing. (This song is going to 'everything i need' by skylar grey for the aquaman soundtrack) "Alright lanie, time to think. Write out your feelings." I said to myself. I tried to think but I couldn't. I looke out the door and saw the stars shining and decided to sit outside and give it a try. "Okay, let's try this again." I began to listen to the music and play it out loud as I had an immediate thought to what the lyrics could be. This song was going to be about Milo. The adventure I had been on in the past two to three days. "Okay here it goes." I began writing and singing as I finished. "Let's try recording."
I pressed the red circle on my laptop which meant I was recording.

Born on the wrong side of the ocean
With all the tides against you
You never thought you'd be much good for anyone
But that's so far from the truth

I know there's pain in your heart
And you're covered in scars
Wish you could see what I do

'Cause baby, everything you are
Is everything I need
You're everything to me
Baby, every single part
Is who you're meant to be
'Cause you were meant for me
And you're everything I need

You can say I'm wrong
You can turn your back against me
But I am here to stay
(I am here to stay)
Like the sea
She keeps kissing the shoreline
No matter how many times he pushes her away

'Cause baby, everything you are
Is everything I need
You're everything to me
Baby, every single part
Is who you're meant to be
'Cause you were meant for me

And everything happens for a reason
It's all a blessing in disguise
I used to question who I was
Well now I see
The answer is in your eyes

'Cause baby, everything you are
Is everything I need
You're everything to me
Baby, every single part
Is who you're meant to be
'Cause you were meant for me
And you're everything I need

I stopped recording and looked out into the hallway and saw the milo's door was still closed. I was safe. Even if he didn't know the song was about him, I wasn't ready for him to even ask about who it was about or what the lyrics meant. I sat on my bed on my laptop and plugged my headphones in getting ready to finish the song and as i clicked the play button, I smiled ear to ear. The song was perfect and I was sure to get some kind of music recognition at my conservatory which was hard to do.
"What are you listening to?" Milo asked as he walked in the room putting his hood on.
I panicked and said "what do you mean?"
"You have headphones on? I'm assuming you're listening to something."
"Oh just the song from earlier nothing new" I said as I switched back into the mix of that song covering up the new piece.
"Can I listen to it? You know, like again?"
"Why? Do you have to? I don't know I'm not really confident with it." I stammered.
"It's good and we both know it. Come on let me hear it." He insisted.
"Fine." I said defeated as I played the song.
"Okay it's growing on me. Can I download it onto my phone?" He asked looking right into my eyes.
"I don't know. Like I said I don't know if I'm ready to share it." I hesitated.
"Well, maybe after we hang out, you'll trust me enough to let me have it on my phone."
"We'll see manheim." I said. As the time went by we sat on my bed together and got to know each other.
"I can't believe you dislocated your knee by falling down two flights of stairs!" He laughed.
"I know I know! Don't laugh at me!" I said blushing as I put my hands to cover my red cheeks. "Well, it's 2 in the morning. So I think I should head to bed." I managed to say.
"Wow. You went from Dopey, to Grumpy, and now little miss Sleepy." He said referencing the dwarves.
"Hey at least that's only three out of seven!" I said quickly.
"It's all good. This was a lot of fun. Thanks for being such a great friend. I'll see you in the morning?" He said as he began to walk out.
"Milo..." I began to say.
"Yeah?" He said as he turned around.
"Your phone?" I said as I stood up and took it from him and imported a copy of my song onto his phone. "Hope it helps you sleep." I said with a slight smile.
"Thanks for trusting me. I'll let you know if it does in the morning." He said giving me a hug.
"Night Milo."
"Night Lanie" He said as I dropped onto my bed looking at the ceiling. "What have I gotten myself into?" I said quietly as I began to drift off to sleep.
