Just A Song //Thomas Brodie Sangster//

Chapter 8

He kept walking towards me and I felt myself walking towards him. We stopped just a couple of feet away from each other. He rubbed the back of his neck.

“Hey.” He said.

“What’s up?” I ask trying to be casual. My heart starts to race. I don’t know why but whenever he is around it does. I can’t be falling for this boy; I just met him like what five days ago?

“You’re sister tryin to ask me something…” He said.

I chuckled. “Yeah I know, she was going to ask you out.”

He looked at me surprised. “Really?”

“Yeah, she wouldn’t stop talking about you.”

“That’s creepy.” He said. We laughed and continued walking towards my little campsite. Once we were there we sat down in the grass, the moon and stars illuminating the ground.

“So was she really going to ask me out?” He turned to look at me.

“Yeah she was like ‘he is so hot, and such a great actor and he so hot’ and blah, blah, blah. She really likes you and thought you liked her back.” I laughed.

“She scares me.” He smiles. We both laugh. I lied down on the ground and look up at the stars.

“But honestly I don’t like her.” He said.

“I assumed so.” I lightly laughed. “You don’t seem like someone who would date a fangirl.”

“Eh if I liked her enough.” He smiled.

“Mhm totally. “ I returned his smile.

“I’m surprised you’re not a fangirl.” He chuckles.

“No honestly I didn’t even know you were an actor until Tori told me.”

“Really you haven’t seen anything I’ve been in?” He asks.

“Nope, I read not watch TV all day.” I say.

“Hm.” I all he says. I sigh and look up at the night sky. We lie there staring up at the sky taking in the beauty.

“Hey Autumn.” He says. I turn to look at him. He is staring back at me.

“Yes?” I say.

“Can you sing for me?” He asks. I’m taken back a little.

“Um… sure just let me go get my guitar.” I say getting up. He gets up to and sits on the stump. I walk to my tent and grabbed my guitar. I turned around and saw Thomas started a small fire in the little fire pit. I smiled and walked back over to him. He smiled and made room for me on the stump. I sat down and started strumming the guitar. (Human by Christina Perri acoustic I DO NOT OWN)

I can hold my breath,

I can bite my tongue I can stay awake for days

If that’s what you want,

 Be your number one. I can fake a smile I can force a laugh

I can dance and play the part

If that’s what you ask. Give you all I am.

I can do it, I can do it, I can do it

But I’m only human and I bleed when I fall down

I’m only human and

 I crash and I break down. Your words in my head

Knives in my heart, you build me up and then I fall apart

I’m only human, yeah

I can turn it on,

 Be a good machine of worlds if that’s what you need

Be your everything.

I can do it, I can do it, I’ll get through it

But I’m only human and I bleed when I fall down

I’m only human and

I crash and I break down

Your words in my head, knives in my heart

You build me up and

Then I fall apart I’m only human

I’m only human; I’m only human, just a little human

I can take so much until I’ve had enough

‘Cause I’m only human

 And I bleed when I fall down

I’m only human

And I crash and I break down

Your words in my head, knives in my heart

You build me up and then I fall apart

‘Cause I’m only human, yeah.

I finish the song and look up at him. He is staring at me smiling.

“You’re wonderful really.” He says.

I shrug. “Not really I’m all right I guess.”

“No seriously you’re like amazing, beautiful, talented and just absolutely amazing.” He says. Did he just call me beautiful? He did. I start to blush.

“No, I’m not that good. And I’m definitely not beauty-“ I get cut off. He presses his lips against mine gently then a little harder. My eyes flutter close and I kiss him back. Everything seems to stop at that moment. Fireworks explode inside of me, yeah it’s cheesy but it’s the truth. His lips were soft and sweet. When everything was just getting perfect he pulled back his face as red as a strawberry. Mine was probably a deeper crimson. I looked down.

“Uh, sorry it’s um just…” He stuttered. I smiled and looked up.

“What are you sorry for?” I ask. He looks at me shocked and I laugh a little.

“You… um liked it?” He asked.

I laughed a little bit more. “Of course.” He blushed more. We stay silent for a while.

“So I’m going to guess and say you like me?”

“Um yeah, and by the way you were kissing back I’m just going to guess you like me.” He smirks.

I blush, “I guess so.”

“Will you be my girl-“ I cut him off.

“Yes.” I smile.
