Drew and I were at the school garden waiting for the bell. We were talking about the football game next week. He is a football player by the way.

I know!

He's really talented.

"Hey, how's your guitar practice goin?" he asked me. I figured I could learn to play guitar so that I could jam with him. And, you know, it might impress him.

"It was great. You know my dad said I'm a fast learner."

"Of course! I'm the best teaacher in the world you know."

Yep, I asked him to teach me before because I know he's a pro... And of course it's also a way to spend more time with him.

"You really don't know the definition of being humble!"

He just laughed and I just watch him. Could any guy be any more gorgeous?

"Hey! Before I forgot..." He looked into my eyes while suppressing a smile. "I... I met this amazing girl and... she's really great."

"A-ow."

"I asked her out and she said yes."

It felt like the world stops.

"Taylor! Did you hear me?"

"What? Yeah. Of course."

I smiled.

A fake one.

A forced one.

I just hope he doesn't notice.

The bell rang and we part ways.

I didn't see him when our class ends but I saw their car.

"Where's Drew, Taylor?" Mr Hardwick, Drew's dad, asked me when he got out of the car.

"I don't know. Maybe he went on a date."

"A date?"

"Yep. That's what he told me."

"Okay. Do you want a ride home?"

"It's okay Mr. Hardwick. I'll just walk."

"Walk? Come on. I insist." So I just accepted. I played the radio. A sad song...

♥♥♥

Drew looks at me, I fake a smile so he won't see

That I want and I'm needing everything that we should be

I'll bet she's beautiful, that girl he talks about

And she's got everything that I have to live without

Drew talks to me, I laugh cause it's just so damn funny

That I can't even see anyone when he's with me

He says he's so in love, he's finally got it right,

I wonder if he knows he's all I think about at night

[Chorus:]

He's the reason for the teardrops on my guitar

The only thing that keeps me wishing on a wishing star

He's the song in the car I keep singing, don't know why I do

Drew walks by me, can he tell that I can't breathe?

And there he goes, so perfectly,

The kind of flawless I wish I could be

She'd better hold him tight, give him all her love

Look in those beautiful eyes and know she's lucky cause

[Repeat Chorus]

So I drive home alone, as I turn out the light

I'll put his picture down and maybe

Get some sleep tonight

He's the reason for the teardrops on my guitar

The only one who's got enough of me to break my heart

He's the song in the car I keep singing, don't know why I do

He's the time taken up, but there's never enough

And he's all that I need to fall into..

Drew looks at me, I fake a smile so he won't see

♥♥♥  

  "There you go."

"Thanks Mr. Hardwick. I really appreciate it."

"No problem Taylor."  

It was a boring day at the house. Mom was gone shopping and Austin, my brother, was playing video games the whole day.

So I just cleaned my already-clean room and I checked out my old stuffs.

I saw my dad's picture on the photo album and felt sad. We used to be a perfect family and I never thought my parents would seperate.  

With a sigh, I turned the page.

It was my eighth birthday and my family was still complete. And there's Drew too.  

Oh Drew.  

The other photos were him and me.
