"20 questions?" Ali asked me. "Yeah," I replied. "You go first," she told me. "What's your favorite color?" "Purple. What about you?" "Mine's purple too. Your turn." "What's your favorite animal?" "Monkeys." "Mine's pandas." I laughed. "Why?" "They're cute but they're also dangerous." She has a point. "Last question. What's your favorite hobby?" "Writing songs and singing. What's yours, besides singing?" I hesitated. "That's hard. I'd say playing my xbox." "Awesome."

There was a pause. "I think we should go back to my house now," Ali said. "I agree," I said. I'm glad I got to spend time with her though. "Can I hear your song?" I asked her once we got back to her house. "Yeah, but I should warn you it's not that good." "Oh, come on. It can't be that bad," I assured her. "Okay," she said, and she started singing.

"I will not make the same mistakes that you did

I will not let myself cause my heart so much misery

I will not break the way you did

You fell so hard

I've learned the hard way, to never let it get that far

Because of you I'll never stray too far from the sidewalk

Because of you I learned to play on the safe side so I don't get hurt

Because of you I find it hard to trust not only me, but everyone around me

Because of you I am afraid

I lose my way

And it's not too long before you point it out

I cannot cry

Because I know that's weakness in your eyes

I forced to fake, a smile, a laugh

Every day of my life

My heart can't possibly break

When it wasn't even whole to start with am

Because of you I'll never stray too far from the sidewalk

Because of you I learned to play on the safe side so I don't get hurt

Because of you I find it hard to trust not only me, but everone around me

Because of you I am afraid

I watched you die

I heard you cry every night in your sleep

I was so young

You should have known better than to lean on me

You never thought of anyone else

You just saw your pain

And now I'm crying in the middle of the night

For the same dang thing

Because of you I'll never stray too far from the sidewalk

Because of you I learned to play on the safe side so I don't get hurt

Because of you I tried my hardest just to forget everything

Because of you I don't know how to let anyone else in

Because of you I'm ashamed of my life because it's empty

Because of you I am afraid

Because of you

Because of you"

(A/N I know Kelly Clarkson wrote it but pretend Ali did)

Her voice was like an angel. How is she not famous? "I wrote it a year ago. It sucks." (A/N that's Ali's opinion I love that song) "What are you talking about? It was amazing! So is your voice!" "Thanks," she said blushing. "No need to be embarrassed. It really was good," I told her, hugging her.

"Okay." My phone vibrated in my pocket. I reached for it. Scooter texted me. -Come home now. We have some recording to do. "I gotta go. I'm sorry," I said, giving her a kiss on the cheek. "Okay. Text me later though, k?" "Don't worry, I will. Bye," I said, walking out the door.

It's a sucky ending, sorry. I'm not good at ending my chapters. What do you think of the story so far? Please let me know. I'd really appreciate it.
