chapter eight!

i'm writing a love song, who've i become?

JULIE WAS IN HER ROOM, WRITING IN HER SONG book.  The sound of someone poofing was heard, causing the girl to turn around.  "Reggie? What are you doing here?"

"I got bored.  What are you doing?" the boy asked as he sat on her bed.  "I'm just writing a song."

"What kind of song? Oh, country? I can play a mean banjo solo."

"Nope, not country.  It's... it's different from the songs we've sang."

"Really? Who's it about?"

"No one.  These are the lyrics I have so far."  The girl showed him the book, causing him to look at the words written.  "I still can't believe that you noticed me an ocean away, the heavens would say it was meant to be.  I'll never forget the first time I saw you then, primrose at three, you had all of me, without saying a word."

"Do you like it?"

"Yeah, it's very poetic. I think the song needs some guitars, pianos, and violins. It should be kind of soft."

"That's a good idea. Hopefully, I'll have the song ready soon."

"Oh, if you need help with the lyrics, I will be sure to help."

"Thanks, Reggie."

"No problem, Jules." The boy disappeared, probably going back to the garage or something. As she continued to write lyrics down, she heard a notification from her phone.

JULIE WAS ABLE TO GET SOME LYRIC HELP FROM REGGIE, finally finishing the song. The girl was currently playing the piano. Flynn and Paula entered, holding some water and snacks. "We have arrived! Do you still need help with your song?"

"Nope. I was able to get help. I'm just trying to come up with a melody." The girl played the keys, causing Paula to knit her eyebrows together. "Wait... play that again?" She played the notes again, causing Paula to nod her head. "Sing some of the lyrics for a minute? I just want to see how it flows."

"Um... okay? I can't quite believe you think I'm beautiful. Must be a trick, a, 'Tag and you're it', kind of foolery. Then you take my hand, kiss me on the cheek. A light pink bouquet, a promise you'll stay. And I start to believe."

"I like the melody.  Uh... can your band play other instruments?"

"I think so.  One of them suggested violins and guitars.  Why?"

"Practice the song with them.  I'll try and stall Andy for a bit."

"And I'll help you with an outfit!" Flynn exclaimed.  Paula left the garage, walking over to Andy's house.  She knocked on the door, only for it to swing open.  "Hi, Paula.  Andy didn't tell me you were coming."

"Um... hi... hi, Delia.  I just thought I'd surprise him!"

"That's so sweet.  Andy! Paula's here!" Andy walked down the stairs, looking out the door.  "Paula, what are you doing here?"

"I came to hang out.  You know, best friend bonding time!"  Paula entered the house, grabbing Andy's hand as they went up to his room.  "Okay, why are you actually here? You usually text me that you want to hang out."

"This time is different.  I wanted to surprise you."

"You know I hate when you surprise me.  It usually ends up with me screaming in fear."

"Yeah, it's pretty funny." Paula stated with a laugh, causing Andy to glare at her.  The two decided to watch a few movies on his laptop, currently watching A Bronx Tale.  "He didn't deserve to die!" Paula exclaimed as she blew her nose through sobs.  "And I don't deserve to have snot on my bed!"

"Relax, I'm throwing them in the garbage when I use your tissues."

"Sure, you are."  Paula heard a notification from her phone, causing her to stand up.  "I'll be right back, dude.  I have to... use the bathroom!"

"Okay." Paula went into the bathroom, locking the door.  She checked her phone, getting a text from Flynn.

Paula flushed the toilet, washing her hands.  She had to make it seem like she was actually using the bathroom.  Walking out, she entered Andy's room.  "Hey, Andy.  Want to come with me to Julie's house?"

"Sure." Putting on his sneakers, he and Paula left the house.  Paula led him to Julie's garage, noticing Julie and Flynn.  "Hey, Andy."

"Julie, hi.  Hey, Flynn.  Are you working on a song? We can come back later if you want."

"No, I actually just finished writing one.  I wanted you guys to hear it first."  The curly haired girl was wearing a light blue top with a white skirt and white Mary Janes.  "You look nice by the way." he stated, causing the girl to blush.  "Thanks.  You look nice too."

The girl walked over to her keyboard as the three friends sat in some chairs.  "So the song that I wrote is a bit different than the ones me and the band have written.  This goes out to a special someone so I hope you guys enjoy it.  It's called While You Were Sleeping."  The girl started to play the piano which sounded like the start of a ballad.  The boys appeared, with Reggie playing the violin, Alex on the drums, and Luke playing a guitar. "I still can't believe that you noticed me.  An ocean away, the heavens would say it was meant to be." She was a bit shy to look at Andy, staring at the music sheet instead. "I'll never forget the first time I saw you then. Primrose at three, you had all of me without saying a word."

"Maybe the special person she's talking about is Nick?" Andy whispered to Paula, causing her to facepalm herself.  She loved Andy, don't get her wrong but sometimes, he could be oblivious.  "I don't recognize myself, I'm dancing down streets, smiling to strangers, idiotic things. I trace it all back, three - thirty AM, that night, something turned in my heart. While you were sleeping, I fell in love." As she played the piano, Reggie began to realize who the song was for. He nudged her shoulder, pointing his head to Andy. She nodded her head, looking at the boy. She was still a bit nervous but she had to try.

"I can't quite believe you think I'm beautiful. Must be a trick, a, 'Tag and you're it', kind of foolery. Then you take my hand, kiss me on the cheek. A light pink bouquet, a promise you'll stay. And I start to believe."  Flynn turned to the boy next to her, "Do you know who she's singing about?"

"I think so." He remembered that he said she looked pretty the other day and he meant it.  She was always pretty, actually. But she could be talking about someone other than him.  "I don't recognize myself, I'm writing a love song.  Who've I become? There must be something wrong. I trace it all back, three - thirty AM, that night, something turned in my heart.  While you were sleeping, I fell in love."  The band played their instruments for the final chorus, eventually ending the song. The three friends clapped, amazed by the song. Reggie, Alex, and Luke vanished, leaving Julie alone. "So... did you guys like it?"

"It was amazing!" Flynn exclaimed. "Yeah, it was beautiful."

"It was really good." Flynn and Paula decided to leave the garage, hiding behind the door to listen to their friends' conversation. "Thank you."

"So who was it about?" Julie looked at him, "Uh, it was about you, actually."

"Me? Why would you write a song about me?"

"Because I like you! I like you." Andy stares at her in disbelief, "Say that again?"

"I like you, Andy. I like your sarcasm, your attitude, your humor, the way you care about me. I like you, Andy. And I don't think I'll ever feel like that for anyone else." Andy's eyes softened, looking into her eyes. "I like you too. I like the way you light up a room, the way you care for others, the way you take risks. I've never felt that way for someone until I met you, Molina."

Flynn and Paula were currently cheering inaudibly so their friends' wouldn't hear them. "Really? You have?" Julie asked, causing Andy to nod. "I guess you have an effect on me."

"I guess I do." Andy held his hands in hers, looking at her. "I was wondering, if you aren't too busy with your band or anything, if you wanted to go out sometime?"

"Sure. I'd like that."

"Great. Oh, there's one more thing I want to ask you."

"What is it?"

"Would you, Julie Molina, like to be my girlfriend?" Julie smiled, "Yes, I would. Would you, Andy Ramirez, like to be my boyfriend?"

"Do you have to even ask? A thousand times yes." The two pressed their foreheads together, smiling. "You're my girlfriend. Wow, that felt good to say." Julie playfully rolled her eyes, "You're a dork, you know that?"

"Only for you, sunshine."

"Sunshine?"

"It's because you're really sweet and kind. Is that okay?"

"I like it. But it's getting late so you should probably get going."

"Yeah, I should. Goodnight, sunshine."

"Wait, Andy?" The boy stopped walking, turning around. "Yes?" Julie kissed his cheek, making the boy turn red. "Goodnight, grumpy."

"Grumpy? That's new."

"You are kind of grumpy. But goodnight, Andy."

"Goodnight, Molina." As Andy walked out of the garage, he noticed Flynn and Paula. "What are you two still doing here? Were you ease dropping on us?"

"No?" The boy rolled his eyes, "You know what? I'm not even surprised. Good night, guys."

"Good night, lover boy." Paula and Flynn teased, causing the boy's cheeks to flush. "You two are so... you know what? Good night." Andy's walk home was very good, especially because he finally had a girlfriend named Julie Molina.
