Well, she was at a party but, wasn’t having fun. _Hey! _Hey! How are you girl? _I’m really fine and you? Where have you been? _I’ve been working, you know? I don’t wanna go back to school so I decided to get a job and stop making my parents go insane. _Wow girl! Going out with “Hanson” made you have a different view of life. –said astonished. _I don’t know, it’s just that I’ll be 19 this year and it’s time for me to grow up.... by the way, what time’s it? _2am, why? _It’s too late. I better go home. Bye. left the party and went for a ride. She was really different and you know why? ‘Cause she wasn’t with anymore. Since they broke up she’s been thinking about him and everytime he crossed her mind she shad a tear ‘cause she knew she screwed up everything with him. The next day the boys had so many things to do thatdidn’t have time to think aboutbut around 3pm he had a surprise. _Guys, where are we gonna eat? –asked driving. _Anywhere that food is served. –joked. _What about that diner over there? –pointed. They all agreed.parked the car and then they got in the diner. _Let’s see what I’m gonna eat. –said taking the menu. _Hold your mouth ‘cause by the way you eat you’re gonna make this place go bankrupt! – joked.

OH MY GOD!! –yelled. _Hi. – she said a little embarrassed. _What are you doing here? –asked a little rude. _I work here so, may I take your order? The boys ordered their food. _I’ll bring your drinks in a minute and in 10 minutes your food will be ready. They watched the girl move away. _What’s the deal with the job? –asked. _And the hair net? And the braids? –asked. _And where’s the black leather? And the nose ring? –observed. _Wait! Stop with the questions! I don’t know what happened to her, she seems a total different person. was astonished thencame back. _Here’s your drinks. When she was about to move away againheld her by the arm. _What? – she asked. _What happened to you? – he asked a little rough. _Nothing, I’m working so please, let me go. did whatsaid and then she was able to move away. _“Please”? Come on, she was abducted, I know it! –played. _I thinktook over’s personality. –joked. ,andwere laughing about the whole situation. How could a girl change so much? was thinking a lot about everything and her change made him even more angry. Now that she wasn’t with him she was able to change!? The food was served, the boys ate and left the place.watched the boys go and whengot in the car he looked back to see her one more time. The rest of the afternoonspent quite, he was kind of shocked with the “new”. Around 7pm the boys were finally released to go home. _Wanna do something, man? –asked. _No mate. I’ll go home and get some rest. –answered rubbing his eyes. _Ok mate, take it easy. said goodbye andwent to his home.wasn’t different from him. _Mom, I’m home! –yelled – Hey dad! When did you get home? _A few hours, are you ok? – her father asked concerned. _Yes I’m fine! gave a kiss on her father’s cheek and went to her room. _! – her father yelled. _What honey? _What the hell this girl has? _Well, I guess she fell in love. went back to the kitchen as her father stayed in the living room astonished. got in her room and turned on the radio but it wasn’t at the usual station, she was about to leave to yell withwhen she heard a familiar voice... “Cruel to the eye/ I see the way he makes you smile/ Cruel to the eye/ Watching him hold what used to be mine...” She sat on her bed. It wasn’t the song that caused this reaction but’s voice.looked at the phone and decided to call him. _Hello. The girl didn’t know what to say. _Hello? –asked a little rough. _... _? _Hi. _What do you want? was rude with her but it was understandable ‘cause he was really hurt. _I just wanted to talk to you. _About what? _I... I know that everything went wrong between us and... _Look, I really don’t have the time to listen to this now. I’m really busy so, tellI’m gonna send her the backstage passes from this month and bye. hung up andshad a tear as the song ended.... “I can´t dream yet another dream/ Without you lying next to me/ There´s no air/ There´s no air...” wanted to call her back but his anger didn’t let him so, he turn off his phone. It was too painful for him. The week went by and soon Saturday came. For the first time in yearsdidn’t have plans for the night. She’d stay home watching a DVD or something but all changed. _, please don’t yell or try to kill me – her mom said a little apprehensive. _What happened? _Well, Sarah’s mom won’t be able to take her and your sister to the concert tonight so, I was wondering if... _Ok mom. I take Sarah andto the concert, just give me a minute to change. leftin the living room. _ God.... –said getting down on her knees – Make a miracle by allowingandget together again. I swear if that happens, the car is all hers and I’ll takeanywhere she wants. showed up dressed in jeans, a white t- shirt and the only leather she had on were the white boots. _I forgot you had a face. –teased. _Why are you saying that? _You are always with your hair on your face and now you’re wearing a ponytail. opened the door and they left. When they got at the concert, there were a “sea” of girls on their way. _Look kiddo, I’ll be back to pick you up in 2 hours, ok? –said taking the girls through the “sea”. _You don’t have to. –said putting her hand inside her bag. _What do you mean? _I have another backstage pass, you can come with us if you want. thought a little. _Ok kiddo, let’s go. menage their way through that “sea” and in a few minutes they were inside walking around the hallway. Suddenly the girl sawcoming. _Hey, how are you doing? – he greeted. _I’m fine, and you? _I’m ok. Who’s your friend? _This is Sarah. greeted the girl and left, he didn’t even noticethere.felt sorry for her sister, they could have lots of fights but just likesaid once: “blood is thicker than water”. _Come on, let’s find our seats. put her arm aroundand followed her. The concert went really well butwasn’t very happy and there was nothing she could do about it. _, now that the concert is over, go talk to. –suggested. _I don’t know. He doesn’t want to talk to me. –said a little sad. _Look, you know what’s better. I’m gonna meet the boys and I’ll wait for you at the car. Let’s go, Sarah. left with her friend andstayed there. On the backstage. _Great concert. –observed. _Yeah... so, iscoming with us? –asked. _I guess so. –answered. _So let’s go! – said. The boys stood up and when they were about to leave. _Aren’t you coming? –asked. _You go ahead, I’ll be there in a minute. –answered. The place now was all empty andwas the only person left in there. After a few minutes, showed up and saw the girl there. _What now? _Nothing, I was just about to leave. She stood up, walked a few inches but stopped. _ You know what? – the girl said looking back at him. _ What? –crossed his arms. _ I don’t wanna talk about promises I made in the past, about my failings, my mistakes. I just wanna hold you, feel your body against mine in this eternal second that we’re together. I don’t wanna know if the night is gonna be short, if missing you will be hard, if the love will last forever. I just wanna believe in this present moment, feel you with me now at this time, later we leave for later. I don’t wanna deceive myself again, thinking that love never ends and stays with us for a lifetime, that I’ll be always happy. I just want you here with me and know that at this moment of an eternity, you’re mine forever. said all that crying, hoping thatsaid something to her as he was holding back his tears. _Look... I don’t know if I can believe in all this. How’s gonna be when we have to be around my friends or yours? It’s weird this whole situation ‘cause most girls wanna a chance to appear next to me but you, you just don’t give a damn about us. Goodbye. The girl was crying even more andonly shad a tear when turned his back to leave the place. realized she had to do something really quick or she’d lose him forever. The girl looked around and saw that the instruments were still on stage so, she climbed it, grabbed an acoustic guitar and for’s surprise, she started to sing. I had no choice but to hear you You stated your case time and again I thought about it You treat me like I’m a princess I’m not use to liking that You ask how my day was You’ve already won me over in spite of me Don’t be alarmed if I fall head over feet Don’t be surprised if I love you for all that you are I couldn’t help it It’s all your fault Your love is thick and it swallowed me whole You’re so much braver than I gave you credit for That’s not lip service You’ve already won me over in spite of me Don’t be alarmed if I fall head over feet Don’t be surprised if I love you for all that you are I couldn’t help it It’s all your fault You’re the bearer of unconditional things You held your breath and the door for me Thanks for your patience You’re the best listener that I’ve ever met You’re my best friend Best friend with benefits What took you so long I never felt this healthy before I’ve never wanted something rational I am aware now I am aware now You’ve already won me over in spite of me Don’t be alarmed if I fall head over feet Don’t be surprised if I love you for all that you are I couldn’t help it It’s all your fault stopped singing and sawcrying standing in front of the stage. _You have a beautiful voice. – he observed astonished. _That’s all you have to say? – the girl asked hopeless. _No. He climbed up the stage. _Did you mean everything you said and sang? _I do, I really do! I ... _Shhhh, don’t say anything. Just kiss me the way you used to. put his hands on’s waist, pulled her close to him and they kissed. After a while they heard some noises and when they looked, the boys,and her friend were clapping, whistling and screaming like it was a concert or something.andcouldn’t hide their happiness. _So, where did you learn to sing and play the guitar? –asked curious. _I had a band. I was the lead singer and played the guitar sometimes. _How come I never knew about it? _'Cause when we started to go out I quit the band. _Why? – he asked even more curious. _‘Cause I thought I should go ease on the things I was doing but it wasn’t enough, I know. got even more astonished. _It means that when I broke up with you, you were trying to do something for us? _Yes. All I wanted was a little more time ‘cause you actually made me see the bad things I was doing to myself and to my family. You introduced me to a whole new world, it wasn´t fair to drag you in my troubles. smiled. _So, did you really change? – he asked helpinggetting down the stage. _Well, not much. _What do you mean? _I still think you suck and Godsmack rules! heldclose and kissed her again. Three months went by and they’re really happy together. And just likesaid on a interview, they have an unbelievable story to tell their grandchildren. The End.
