When The Lights Go Down

New Song

Bailey's Inner Monologue

You will regret tonight.....those 4 words kept me awake almost all night. I laid there trying to decide if I should text back and talk this out with Jake once and for all...laid there wondering what he meant by I would regret it, and then worried that Jake would be going after Sam...it was nearly 5am by the time I surrendered to sleep.

(Nick) *tapping on B's forehead* B....

*no answer*

(Nick) *tapping* B, wake up

(Bailey) *whines* what

(Nick) I was trying to let you sleep but its like 10 and I need to pee

(Bailey) well then pee, why did you wake me for that...

(Nick) cause you have me pinned *smiles*

(Bailey) sucks to be you *snuggles her face into Nicks shoulder*

(Nick) oh you are so mean

(Bailey) payback for last night

(Nick) why are you so tired? Quit being lazy

(Bailey) I couldn't sleep last night I was awake until like 5

(Nick) why?

*B just shrugged and kept her face buried in Nicks shoulder*

(Nick) come on, get up with me

*whining*

(Nick) I'll play you a new song...

*immediately intrigued, B pops open one eye to peek at Nick*

(Bailey) what new song?

(Nick) wrote it last night...get up and you can hear it first

(Bailey) is this a trick?

(Nick) *chuckles* no, why would I lie?

(Bailey) 'cause you have to pee *Pokes Nick in the side*

(Nick) *teasing* ok fine, you don't wanna hear the song that's fine

*Nick hops up causing B's face to tumble off his shoulder to the mattress*

(Bailey) NO! Nicky wait...*Hops up and runs after Nick*

*B is waiting outside the bathroom when Nick exits*

(Nick) *laughing* nope sorry you had your chance...no song for you

*B hops on Nicks back and hugs his neck, resting her head on his shoulder*

(Bailey) pleeeeeeeeeeeease Nicky pleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleaseplease

(Nick) *laughing* fine

*B lands a kiss on Nicks cheek before hopping down and throwing a fist pump into the air*

(Bailey) Yessssss!

*B and Nick run downstairs*

(Nick) breakfast...then song

(Bailey) boo! Fine

*B pours each of them a bowl of cereal while Nick tests his sugar and loads his carbs into his pod*

(Nick) *reading note from counter* Mom went to get Dad from the airport, they should be back around noon and Dad has big news *raising an eyebrow* wonder what kind of news

(Bailey) Moms preggers

(Nick) *choke* *cough* what!

(Bailey) oh geez you're easy! I'm kidding, you know its JB related, it always is

(Nick) it could be something else...

*B cocks an eyebrow and gives Nick a face*

(Nick) Yea, yer probably right

*B rushes to take the last bite of her crunchberries*

(Bailey) DONE! *throwing her arms in the air to signify finishing*

(Nick) congrats....its not a race though *continues to S L O W L Y eat his cereal*

(Bailey) oh COME ON Nicky!!!

(Nick) *laughs* patience ...

(Bailey) when did you write this song anyway? What's it about?...is it acoustic? Is it a JB song or just a song?

(Nick) wrote it last night when we got home from the carnival while I was waiting to level out a bit...the rest you will find out in a minute *slowly finishes cereal*

*B taps her fingernails on the counter impatiently and watches Nick smirk at her as he finishes his last bite*

(Nick) maybe just a little more cereal...*smirks*

(Bailey) NICKY!

(Nick) *laughing* I'm kidding

*B grabs their dishes and rinses them out and sticks them into the dishwasher as Nick heads to the Media Room she walks into the Media room to find Nick at the piano*

(Bailey) ooooooooh yay! Piano *claps* NOT what I was anticipating at all

(Nick) you were thinking guitar?

(Bailey) well, considering your mood last night I was expecting some angry boy rock *smirks*

(Nick) not quite....*starts to play an intro, B gets quiet in anticipation*

Got the news today doctor said I had to stay

A little bit longer and I'll be fine

When I thought it'd all been done

When I thought it'd all been said

A little bit longer and I'll be fine

But you don't know what you got until it's gone

And you don't know what it's like to feel so low

And every time you smile, you laugh, you glow

You don't even know, no, no

You don't even know.....

.....

*when Nick finished he turns to see B, tears in her eyes, she quickly plops down beside him on the bench and wraps her arms around his neck and he pulls her into a hug*

(Bailey) *pulls away and wipes her eyes letting out a big sigh* ok....again *smiles*
