Living the Dream

Chapter 2

I started bawling. Just for no reason. Sam immediately held me. He rubbed my back and whispered sweet things in my ear. Once I finally was ok he spoke up.

"I like you too." He said. Then he looked me directly in the eyes and kissed me.

I was the one to pull away.

"I'm sorry I just really needed to do that." Sam said with a smirk.

"It's okay. I liked it. Well, um, I need to get going." I said. I walked out of his room and grabbed my Chanel over the shoulder and walked out the door.

When I got to the studio, Sam was already there. I took my new song I wrote and gave it to him to read over.

"Ellie, it's perfect. Let me give it to the band and you can practice." Sam told me.

It was probably 3 hours, 2 taco bells runs, and 13 pee breaks later we finally got to record.

"You got this. Just relax." Sam told me through the microphone. I wasn't nervous. I was super excited. Then the music started.

A drop in the ocean

A change in the weather

I was praying that you and me might end up together

It's like wishing for rain as I stand in the desert

But I'm holding you closer than most

Cause you are my heaven

I don't wanna waste the weekend

If you don't love me

Pretend a few more hours

Then it's time to go

As my train rolls down the east coast

I wonder how you keep warm

It's too late to cry

Too broken to move on

And still I can't let you be

Most nights I hardly sleep

Don't take what you don't need from me

It's just a drop in the ocean

A change in the weather

I was praying that you and me might end up together

It's like wishing for rain as I stand in the desert

But I'm holding you closer than most

Cause you are my heaven

Misplaced trust and old friends

Never counting regrets

But a grace of god I do not test at all

In New England as the leave change

The last excuse I'll claim

I was a boy who loved a woman like a little girl

And still I can't let you be

Most nights I hardly sleep

Don't see what you don't need from me

It's just a drop in the ocean

A change in the weather

I was praying that you and me might end up together

It's like wishing for rain as I stand in the desert

But I'm holding you closer than most

Cause you are my..

Heaven doesn't seem far away anymore no no

Heaven doesn't seem far away

Heaven doesn't seem far away anymore no no

Heaven doesn't seem far away

A drop in the ocean

A change in the weather

I was praying that you and me might end up together

It's like wishing for rain as I stand in the desert

But I'm holding you closer than most

Cause you are my heaven

You are my heaven

(All rights to Ron Pope; not my song)

I was on the verge of tears right now. This song meant so much to me. When I left Magcon to go on tour, I realized my best friends weren't my best friends anymore. But I still wanted to believe that they were. They only liked me anymore because I was well known. And I put all of that into that song.

"That was absolutely amazing." Sam said. He knows that most of my songs come from experiences so he came in to hug me.

"Thanks. It, um, meant a lot to me." I said I between sniffles.

"It is going to be a best seller. I am beyond proud of you." Sam said giving me a hug.

"Thanks, I hope so too."
