Love & Ride

Chapter 21

Everybody's looking at me and I start feeling really nervous.

- "Relax, you've done this before. You'll love the song, trust me." Jake tries to reassure me.

I swear to God, I'm going to kill him and Cooper for this. I try not to look in Tyler's direction because I know that if I do, I'll totally panic.

The music starts and I finally understand why Jake wanted me to sing with him so bad. He chose 11 minutes by Yungblud, Halsey and Travis Barker. When this song came out, we couldn't stop listening to it and singing it together. I smile at him. We sing the first verse together then I start Halsey's part.

- "I think I missed you calling on the other line

I'm just thinking honest, got something in mind

Talk a lot, but I can't even read the signs

I would sell my soul for a bit more time

Staining on my body like you're red wine

You're the fucking acid to my alkaline

You run your middle finger up and down my spine

Sorry there was no one to apologize"

- "I'm so fuckin sorry, I'm so fuckin sorry

I've been playing somebody and it's helping nobody

And her lipstick arithmetic didn't stick

And now I'm sick, throwing fits

And yeah I've seen you in my head every fuckin' day since I left

You on the floor with your hands on your head

And I'm down and depressed

All I want is your head on my chest

Touchin' feet, I'm eleven"

Jake moves around, he's so confident and so beautiful. He takes my hand and we sing the chorus.

- "I'm eleven minutes away and I have missed you all day

I'm eleven minutes away, so why aren't you here?

You're eleven minutes away and I have missed you all day

You're eleven minutes away, so why aren't you here?

Tell me what you need, I can make you more than what you are

Come and lay the roses on the floor, every single Sunday on your board

I just want to freeze, I can give you more than what you want

Now I see you standing all alone, I never thought the world would turn to stone"

We face each other and I start feeling a lot more comfortable. I follow Jake in his moves and sing as if we were alone.

- "So call me stupid, call me sad

You're the best I've ever had

You're the worst I've ever had

And that keeps fucking with my head

Call me stupid, call me sad

You're the best I've ever had

You're the worst I've ever had

And that keeps fucking with my head

I'm eleven minutes away and I have missed you all day

I'm eleven minutes away, so why aren't you here?

You're eleven minutes away and I have missed you all day
