*Ring ring*

I woke up to my phone ringing. I looked at the I.D and saw
Wonder😎🎹

I clicked the green button.

-Stevie!

Stevie- lessia! You busy?

-ummm...no, wassup?

Stevie- can you meet me at the school studio, I'll explain there

-uhhh yea sure

Stevie- thanks Cara, see you there

-see you there wonder

I hung up and got outta bed to stretch.

I already took my shower last night, so I did my hygiene and got dressed in high waisted blue jeans, a tucked in sky blue short sleeved shirt and white sneakers.

I put my hair in a high bun and grabbed my backpack and phone. Right before I walked out, I got a text from Stevie.

Wonder😎🎹- bring your guitar

I went back to my closet and grabbed my guitar.
I walked down the stairs to a empty livingroom.

I pulled my phone out and called mama. While the phone was ringing, I went outside and saw her car still here.

I heard a click. Finally she picked up.

Mama- yes Alessia

-umm where are you?

Mama- At the shop, working a shift...why

-how'd you get there without the car?

Mama- I walked damn it! Ain't waistin gas gettin around the corner!

I giggled. She had a point.

-okay mama well can I use the car? I'm meeting Stevie at the school studio.

Mama- yeah but what does he need you for?

- don't know, he said he'll tell me when I get there

Mama- okayyyyy well be careful

-yes ma'am, love ya mama

Mama- love ya baby

I hung up and opened the car, about to get in until...

"Alessia!"

I turned around and saw.... Michael?

"Michael?"

He walked across the street and up my driveway, with his backpack.

"Hey"

"H-Hi?"

He rocked back and forth on the balls of his feet, messing with his bag strap.

He was nervous. He looks cute nervous.

"Sooo whatcha need Michael?"

He looked at me with a soft smile.

"I got a text from Stevie, saying to meet him at school"

I nodded.

"Yeah, he called me telling me the same thing"

"Yeah, anyways he told me to catch a ride with..... you? You know anything about that?"

I mentally rolled my eyes.

God damn it Stevie!!

"Umm no I don't but if you want ride, I could take you"

He nodded with a smile.

We both got into the car, buckled up and pulled off.

As I was driving down the street, I connected my phone to the car and pressed the shuffle button.

After the first note, I knew exactly what song it was....my Outlaws.

As the drums came in, Michael looked over at me.

"Whose song is this?"

I paused, thinking if I should tell him or not.....I did!

"Mines, I wrote it"

His eyes widened. "Really? I didn't know you were a song writer, can I hear you.....sing it?"

I stopped at the red light and turned to him.

"Do you really wanna hear me sing? I mean I'm not that good anyways. I don't want to hurt your eardrums with my terrible voice"

He nodded anyways. I sighed and started singing....

"Run, run like the devil's behind us
Run to where no one can find us
Be my accomplice to my crime
Oh baby
Run, run cause we're guilty as sin
Run cause we know we won't win
We know together we kill time

You'll never face a judge without me
You'll never battle the gavel alone
And if they lock us away
Then I'll be still here
Proudly waiting to kill more time, with you..."

"We'll be Outlaws
We'll take on the world
We'll be Outlaws

Run, run like you never did
Cause they found the evidence
And they found your fingerprints
All on me and baby run
Run like your life depends on it
Let's make forever in this moment
Tell me you love me again, Oh again
And I would waste away without you
You're the shinin' to my star
I'd be searching till I found you
Wherever you are... You are"

"We'll be Outlaws
Partners in crime
We'll take on the world together
I'm Bonnie you can be Clyde
We'll be Outlaws
You and me
They'll never understand the honor
Among these thieves
O-O-O-Ohhhhhh-o-o-oh
O-O-O-Ohhhhhh-o-o-o-oh

You'll never face a judge without me
You'll never battle the gavel alone
And if they lock us away
Then I'll be still here
Proudly waiting to kill more time
With you...
Oh with you
W-i-t-h you
With you Oh-o-o-o"

"We'll be Outlaws
Partners in crime
We'd take on the world together
I'm Bonnie you can be Clyde
We'll be Outlaws
You and me
They'll never understand the honor
Among these thieves
We'll be Outlaws..."

As the song played out, I pulled into the school parking lot.

I turned the ignition off and we sat in silence.

Michael was first to break it.

"Wow!"

I sighed. "I know it's horrible"

I put my head in my hands and groaned in frustration.

I felt a hand on my shoulder, I looked up at Michael with a smile on his face.

"It's not horrible....it's...beautiful. Your voice is beautiful"
