Playing on broken strings.

chapter 10

Pressing play on the button on my iphone screen I play one of my newest songs ‘fall’

“Justin this isn’t new” she says looking at me. “it came out last week when you released believe” she said.

“yes but I only wrote it 2 weeks ago look pippa just listen.” I say staring at her.

Looking deeply into her eyes I was hoping the lyrics in the song would make her understand the message  I was giving her.

‘did you know that I loved you of where you not aware you’re the smile on my face and I aint going nowhere’

I could see a small smile forming on her face.

‘whats going to make you fall in love I know you’ve got your wall wrapped all the way around you heart’

She started moving her head along with the music and I saw tears forming in her eyes.

‘I will catch you if you fall….if you spread your wings you can fly away with me’

Tears were now streaming down her face as the song finished and she took the headphone out of her ear and handed it to me.

I began to wipe away the tears from her cheeks as I whispered in her ear “I knew I wrote that song for a reason and that reason is you….i meant every word…every lyric is for you Pippa.”

She sweetly kissed my cheek and something seemed to pop the little bubble we were in when sam came over with our food.

She laid it all on the table before leaving again im shocked that Christian and Emma didn’t realise mine and pippas emotional moment a while ago but I guess they were so fixed on each other they didn’t even notice..wow he really likes her.

“This is sooo good” Pippa said chomping into her burger.

“yeah well you would think so chummy” Emma said laughing “you would eat anything as long as it was edible” she finished before going into fits of laughter.

“are you going to finish that pizza?” pippa questioned

“See what I mean!!” emma said still laughing

We all burst out laughing before we all finish our meals.

“I knew you wouldn’t finish that pizza” pippa says laughing

“well chummy got to stay in shape” emma says seriously.

“’we’ve got to stay in shape’ says the girl who will quite happily sit at home and eat a whole bar of chocolate and at least 3 packets of crisps” pippa says laughing.

Just as Emma was about to reply she was interrupted by a message being spoken threw the restaurants speakers

“Good evening ladies and gentleman, we have a surprise for you tonight! Its karaoke night!! Anyone who would like to give it a try please feel free to come up to the dj booth tell us your name and pick and song and we will call you up when its your turn” the di says before putting the music back on.

“OMG PIPPA COMON LETS GO” emma says before dragging pippa out of her seat and pulling her over to the dj booth.

Christian and I both start laughing before looking at each other and starting conversation.

“sooo you and emma…” I say awkwardly

“sooo you and pippa…” he replies equally as awkward.

“I was thinking about asking her to be my girlfriend” we said in unison before looking at each other realising how creepy that was.

“she will totally say yes” I say to Christian trying to encourage him
