Song: The Used- Smother Me

Picture: Sam Mendoza

            So I haven’t really talked to Sam unless it involved the band and it honestly feels like my heart is gone. Today he called me to say to head straight down and just listen I don’t know why I agreed but I did. I was tired of fighting with him and ignoring him. He is my best friend and he does look sorry for what he said.

(note: Christina is in italics and Sam’s mom Lidia is in bold)

“Hola Lidia.”

“Hola Christina. I haven’t seen much of you lately.”

“Yeah I got into a disagreement with Sam and have just been avoiding being here too long.”

“Well honey you should talk it out. You two were really good together.”

“Lidia, can I ask you for some advice?”

“Sure what’s on your mind?”

“Well I like Sam a lot but he has a girlfriend and now knows how I feel about him. How will we get passed this?”

“Hmm… that’s tough I would say just embrace what happens next it may surprise you.” The way she is smiling right now makes me feel weird like she is hiding something from me but it is not my place to ask so I don’t.

“Thanks Lidia.”

“No problem honey. Now go on get to practice.”

“Yes ma’am.” With that conversation in mind I set off down the stairs towards the basement finally ready to move passed this. I heard Sam singing with the guys playing I could tell they heard me coming because they stopped as soon as I closed the door at the top of the stairs.

(Note: Sam- s Christina- c Jonny-Jon Jimmy- Jim Phil-p.)

C: “Hey guys.”

P, Jon, and Jim: “Hey Chrin.”

S: “Drummer girl.”

C: “Turtle boy.”

Jon: “Oh they speak it’s a miracle hallelujah!”

C: “Shut up Jonny!”

S: “Christina can you take a seat, there are a few things you need to know.”

C: “Oh ummm okay.” Fuck! He doesn’t want to be my friend and is going to kick me out of the band. Nonetheless I sat down and waited for the worst.

S: “So I know how you feel and now it’s time you know how I feel.” Wait what? “I want to start by saying I broke up with Betty she wasn’t the right one for me she was just someone to keep my mind away from what I thought I couldn’t have. I want to sing you a song like the first time I sung to you, really listen to the words okay?”

C: “Ummm okay.” I noticed Phil was sitting at his piano and that Sam’s cousin Sonny was at my drum kit. Sam was still in his sweater looking like the turtle I know so well he starts to sing.

(note: lyrics in bold)

Let me be the one who calls you baby
All the time
Surely you can take some comfort
Knowing that you're mine
Just hold me tight, lay by my side
and let me be the one who calls you
Baby all the time

I found my place in the world
Could stare at your face for the rest of
my days
Now I can breathe, turn my insides out
and Smother me
Warm and alive I'm all over you
would you smother me?

Let me be the one who never leaves
You all alone
I hold my breath and lose the feeling
That I'm on my own
Hold me too tight stay by my side
and let me be the one who calls you
Baby all the time

I found my place in the world
Could stare at your face for the rest of
my days
Now I can breathe, turn my insides out
and Smother me
Warm and alive I'm all over you
would you smother me?

When I'm alone time goes so slow
I need you here with me
and how my mistakes have made
Your heart break
Still I need you here with me
So Baby I’m, Baby I'm here

Now I can breathe, turn my insides out
and Smother me
Warm and alive I'm all over you
would you smother me?

Now I can breathe, turn my insides out
and Smother me
Warm and alive I'm all over you
would you smother me?

Let me be the one who calls you baby
All the time

Let me be the one who calls you baby
All the time

Let me be the one who calls you baby
All the time

Let me be the one who calls you baby
The one who calls you baby

            I want to cry the words are so beautiful and his voice. I couldn’t help but look down as he sung.

S: “Oh and Christina one more thing.” Finally he takes off his damn hoddie and oh my.

C: “Oh my, dammit! You’re him, he’s you! And you all knew! You were helping me look for yourself! You ass!” slowly I walked towards them. “You let me tell you how hot I thought you were Sam! That’s so rude! And they knew didn’t they?!” No one said anything. I’m pretty sure Death himself was afraid to show up in this room. “Didn’t they!?”

Unison: “Yes.”

C: “Why would you do that?!”

S: “Because I love you!” And with that I fainted.
