The Real Stella Smock

The Things Jake Makes Me Do

I strum a little bit and try to avoid eye contact.

"{Verse 2} 

You're problem's not for lack of trying, cause you do

It's just that you need to see there's a line, oh woah-oh" Her jaw drops.

"You're probably standing here

Thinking things you think I wanted to hear

But you got it all wrong

I've already moved on my dear.

{Chorus}"

I start strumming again for a little and then go into the breakdown.

"When you're standing next to me

I can't breathe so easily

You're holding on just way too tight

But when I take two steps away

It sheds some light on my day

Yeah, you can't go back

It's all in the past

Guess you gotta laugh at it!" I shrug.

"{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

And if there's some confusion

Let me tell you you're just delusional, get a clue

Cause people change

Thank God I did

Thank God I did

Thank God I diii-id

Just beacuse 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

It doesn't mean I like you

Just because I liked you back then

It doesn't mean I like youu, noooow.

Sorry Amanda" I pout.

"You know I would be pissed, but you just sang to me...so I'm ok." I grin.

"Great." I tell her. So we say bye and then I walk off to Jake.

"There you go. It's done."

"How'd she take it?" He asks.

"She said it's alright since I sang it." Jake shakes his head smiling.

"Yeah, she's a big fan."

"Mmm. I see that." So then we walk back to his house.

"Go on Amanda's twitter." Jake tells me.

"What is it?" I ask him.

"Mandyyy92." I look it up and laugh when I read her tweet.

"@Mandyyy92: So I just got dumped by Stella Smock singing to me... and I think I'm ok with that." Lmao! That was the most awkward moment of my life!" I reply.

So then Jake and I do absolutely nothing for a while when my phone starts ringing with some random Cali number.

"Hello?" I ask.

"Yeah, is this Stella?" A guy asks.

"Yes." 

"Good, this is Ryan Tedder." My eyes widen and my jaw drops.

"What?" Jake asks and I don't respond to him.

"Oh. Hi." I smile.

"So I heard your song, Bus Stop."

"You did?" I ask him.

"Yeah and I think you're right, it does need a colab." I grin.

"So you'll do it?"

"Yeah."

"OhmyGod, ok. Do you want me to go to your studio or do you wanna come to mine or-" He stops me by laughing.

"I'll be at Def Jam on Saturday in the afternoon." I nod.

"Sounds like a plan." I say.

"So I'll see you then?" He asks.

"Most definantly." I say and then he hangs up.

"Who was it?" Jake asks.

"That was Ryan Tedder." I say still in shock.

"From OneRepublic?"

"Uh huh." I nod.

"Why?"

"Because I'm doing a collab with freaking Ryan Tedder!!" I scream and then run into his arms.

"Whaat?" He says and I laugh.

"I know! It's so crazy!"

So we go to his room and start watching youtube videeos while I wait for my dad to get back...
