Just Friends

Second Guessing

ZONNIQUE'S POV

I walked into Chris's studio expecting to see him and his friends, but surprisingly it was just him. He was nodding his head to the beat of a song that I hadn't heard yet. When he saw me, he smiled. I smiled back and lightly pecked his lips.

"I'm surprised to see you here." He chuckled. "But I'm happy you're here."

"Surprised? Why?" I asked as I sat in the rolling chair beside him. "I come visit you at the studio all the time."

"Yeah, I know. But it seemed like today was a busy day for you today when I checked with you earlier." He explained.

I nodded. "True, true... Today is pretty busy. But one of my meetings had to be rescheduled, so I'm free for--" I checked my watch. "About two hours and I decided to come spend that break with you."

"But not before stopping at Chic-Fil-A." He stated, motioning to my smoothie.

I giggled. "I couldn't resist."

"You never can." He chuckled.

"So, what are you working on?" I asked curiously.

"A song that I started about a month ago." He shrugged.

"What's it about?"

"A little bit of everything." He stated. "You, my childhood, and my life right now."

"Me?" I raised my eyebrows and thought for a second. "But... A month ago, we got into that huge argument..."

He nodded. "Yeah, I know. That's why it's taking me so long to finish it. A lot has changed since then."

"I'm kind of scared to ask if you'll play it for me." I nervously chuckled.

"Why? It's not anything bad about you, I wouldn't do that... Just listen." He said before pressing play.

[Verse 1]
I got money, everything that I ever wanted
Never thought of what I might need, need, need
Ain't it funny, how I spend my whole life running
Reaching for the sky high and coming down with nothing?

[Chorus]
It feels like I'm 4 years old all over again
Cause I'm just running fast and should be walking
Saying when I grow up you gon' see
I'm gon' be comfortable and happy

[Verse 2]
I guess I was faking cause look at all the money I'm making
Still nothing can compare to the thought of love
But it's taking too much time to see that I'm wasting
Reaching for the sky high and coming down with nothing

[Chorus]

[Bridge]
I'm so alone, I feel so alone, so alone in this world
Got everything I want

[Chorus]

I pulled my bottom lip between my teeth and thought for a second. It was a really nice song and I liked it. The bridge was the only thing that bothered me a little. It made me feel like a terrible friend all over again for keeping that big of a secret from him.
