Life changes.

Date.

I walk over and grab his ipad and pull up his piano app. I start playing the buttons on the piano and the melody comes and it is sounding amazing. I start to sing the lyrics that are in my head, “Or else we'll play, play, play all the same old games
And we wait, wait, wait for the end to change
And we take, take, take it for granted that we’ll be the same
But we're making all the same mistakes.”

Alex looks at me and smiles, “Ally that sounds amazing.” I smile and some more lyrics come to me so i sing them, “Wake up, we both need to wake up
Maybe if we face up to this
We can make it through this.”

Alex stares at me as I look at him, “You are so good at this.” He grabs a pen and paper and we start to come up with more lyrics.

About two hours later we are done. I play the last part of the song and stare at him. Alex throws his arms around me in a hug. “This is amazing. Thank you so much.” I smile and hug him back, “No problem. This is what i do.” He laughs and pulls away and stares at the song and then me, “I can’t believe you can do this so easy.” I laugh and shrug, “It’s not always easy, ask Austin, we have spent hours trying to write songs and come up with nothing.” He wheels himself to his desk and places the song down and then comes back, “You helped me figure out how to write songs and you wrote me an amazing song to sing. I can’t thank you enough.” I smile and stand up and bend down kissing his cheek. “No thanks necessary. I have to get home.” He stands up and hugs me again before walking me to the door and kissing me cheek, “Be careful and thank you again.” I walk away and walk out of the building to my car. Once inside I start to call Austin but put my phone back down and pull out and head home instead.

Pulling into the driveway I see Austin’s car parked. I get out and walk into the house. Everything is quiet, so the kids must be down for a nap. I walk farther into the house and see no lights on. I walk upstairs and see light coming from our room. I walk into the bedroom and see Austin sitting in the middle of the bed leaning against the pillows against the headboard. I push the door closed and look at him. He looks over at me then back at the TV.  I sigh and walk over to the bed. I take my shoes off and crawl into bed and get next to him. Since he is in the middle I am right against his side.

I lay my head on his arm and look up at him. He keeps his face still and focused on the television. I move my head some on his arm so it’s more comfortable. I watch his mouth twitch and then a small smile cross his mouth. He looks down at me and the smile takes over his face. “I can’t be mad at you.” I smile as he moves his arm and pulls me into him and i lay my head on his chest. He kisses my head and rubs his hand up and down my arm. “I love you Ally, but you push me to my limits.” I move some and look up at him, “Haven’t i always.” He laughs and kisses my head, “Yeah, you always have baby. I was able to deal better then.” I look at him and lean in and kiss him, “I love you. I know i push you and sometimes I piss you off but you do the same to me.” He laughs and kisses my forehead before pulling me back into his side. “We are the same. I think that’s what irritates us both to no end but has us love each other the same way as well.” I nod against his chest and stay there comfortable. “Alex told me you called him.” I feel him take a deep breath and let it out slowly, “Yeah, the company wanted me to see if he would open for me. They want to know how well he will go over before they sign him.” I move and look up at him, “Why do they want to sign Alex?” He shrugs, “They have heard him and seen him, they think he will go over and bring them money in.” I nod before he kisses me and pulls me into him again. “Can i take you out tonight?”I smile and nod.
