Jade's Pov
Tori and I are walking to my car, well I'm walking. She is getting a piggyback ride. I open her door for her while she gets off of me.
I put my Playlist on shuffle and lock the door, and pull out of the parking lot.
When we are both in the car Tori starts humming along to 'Let me down slowly' by Alec Benjamin.

This night is cold in the kingdom
I can feel you fade away
From the kitchen to the bathroom sink and
Your steps keep me awake

Her voice started to sing softly. Her voice is the most beautiful thing I've ever heard. If I could, I would listen to her voice whenever possible.

Don't cut me down, throw me out, leave me here to waste
I once was a man with dignity and grace
Now I'm slipping through the cracks of your cold embrace
So please, please

Could you find a way to let me down slowly?
A little sympathy, I hope you can show me
If you wanna go then I'll be so lonely
If you're leaving baby let me down slowly

I started to sing with her, she holds my hand. Our voice mix perfectly for this song.

Let me down, down
Let me down, down
Let me down, let me down
Down, let me down, down
Let me down
If you wanna go then I'll be so lonely
If you're leaving baby let me down slowly

Cold skin, drag my feet on the tile
As I'm walking down the corridor
And I know we haven't talked in a while
So I'm looking for an open door

Don't cut me down, throw me out, leave me here to waste
I once was a man with dignity and grace
Now I'm slipping through the cracks of your cold embrace
So please, please

Could you find a way to let me down slowly?
A little sympathy, I hope you can show me
If you wanna go then I'll be so lonely
If you're leaving baby let me down slowly

Let me down, down
Let me down, down
Let me down, let me down
Down, let me down, down
Let me down
If you wanna go then I'll be so lonely
If you're leaving baby let me down slowly

And I can't stop myself from falling down
And I can't stop myself from falling down
And I can't stop myself from falling down
And I can't stop myself from falling down

She stopped singing and watched me with a small smile on her lips. I didn't stop, this song is one of my favorites.

Could you find a way to let me down slowly?
A little sympathy, I hope you can show me
If you wanna go then I'll be so lonely
If you're leaving baby let me down slowly

Let me down, down
Let me down, down
Let me down, let me down
Down, let me down, down
Let me down
If you wanna go then I'll be so lonely
If you're leaving baby let me down slowly

I turned and looked at her and gave her a small, sad smile. I saw a hint of confusion in her eyes. She shook her head lightly and kissed my knuckles while I looked back at the road.

If you wanna go then I'll be so lonely
If you're leaving baby, let me down slowly

I finish and the next song comes on, we jam out to more songs before we get to her house.
When we get inside Tori pulls me to the couch and nuzzles her face into my neck. I hold her close to me and smile.
My phone starts buzzing. I look at it as I tense up. Tori looks up at me with an eyebrow raised.
"There's a big thunderstorm on it's way." I told her. Wait she doesn't know I'm terrified of storms.
"Okay.. why'd you tense up?" She asked me.
"I have a weather phobia.." I mumbled, looking away. She smiled softly and hugged me.
"Okay, is there anything I can do to help when the storm gets here?" She inquired.
"Just be there. Nothing really helps." I answered her.
