The Real Stella Smock

The Things Jake Makes Me Do

"That was fucked up." Jake smiles. 

We met up a  little bit ago and now we're just walking around the neighborhood.

"That was funny." I laugh.

"Do you know how much more she likes me now that she knows I know you?" I smile.

"Hey, that's not my fault." I put my hands up defensively.

"She's just so... clingy. I don't like it." He says.

"I know, I saw." I tell him.

"Well good luck with ending things with her."

"Can't you do it for me?" He asks.

"No!"

"Come on! Bust out a little song on your guitar." I laugh.

"Jake no. This is on you. But if it makes you feel better I would've went up to her as the mad other girlfriend if I wasn't dating Jaden." He smiles.

"I still think you should sing." I roll my eyes playfully.

"Please." He begs.

"Jake no." I tell him.

"C'mon Stella." He stops me.

"For me?" He takes my hands in his and looks in my eyes. I hate when he does this. He makes the most adorable pleading face. There's no way you can say no to that face.

"Sing what?" His face into a smile and his smile makes me smile.

"I don't know songs about breaking up with a clingy girlfriends." I continue.

"We can make a cover." He says.

"This is so messed up." I tell him.

"But..." He smiles.

"But ok." I say and he grins.

"Yus!" We run into the house and I find the perfect song to cover.

It was already a song I really liked so I knew the cords on the guitar. I borrow Jake's acoustic guitar and he shows me the address. I ring the doorbell while he hides on the side of the house.

"I hate you." I mouth.

"I love you too." He mouths. I roll my eyes and then Amanda comes to the door.

"Stella! What  are you doing here? How do you know where I live?" She asks.

"Jake sent me here to play a little song for you." I tell her. 

"Ok." She leans on her doorframe. I take a breath and then start strumming.

"{Verse 1}

My problem isn't that I miss you, cause I don't

My problem isn't that I kissed you, oh woah-oh

I figured out

That you're not the girl I thought you're about

You're just caught in a place

That sometime will erase in my heart

{Chorus}

You're my type of girl I guess

If I was stuck in FSU

For the rest of my life

But people change

Thank God I did 

Just because I liked you back then

It doesn't mean I like you no-ow

Just because I liked you back then

It doesn't mean I like you."
