A/N:
This is song for later in chapter, I would listen to it to fully experience
[Eleanor's POV]
I couldn't sleep at all last night, my mind kept drifting back to Camren and what transpired yesterday. Two days ago, we were just neighbors who were friendly when we saw each other, nothing more. She was my brother's best friend and I was just her best friend's sister. But now—now we're something else, I don't know what exactly, but everything has changed. But when I finally did fall asleep, my dreams were filled with Camren.
When I woke up, I had a text from Tabby saying she'd be here in an hour so I had to get ready. I don't know what she has planned but knowing Tabby, I'm not gonna like it.
I got dressed in black sweatpants and a white tee shirt. I placed my hair in a high pony before I put on a red flannel.
I head downstairs where my parents and brother are eating breakfast. I grab a bagel, "Good morning sweetie" Mom greets
"Morning mom" I say
I sit down at the table next to Lucas, "Dinner with Camren last night was lovely, wasn't it, Ellie?" Mom asks
I nod my head, "Mm-hmm" I hum
"Yeah it was fun but what was with the outfit, Ellie?" Lucas asks
"Trying to impress someone?" Dad teases
I almost choke on my drink, "What? No—No, I got hot is all" I stand up, throwing my plate away, "Anyways, Tabby is coming over soon..." There's a knock on the door, "Speak of the devil, we'll be in my room if you need us" I say quickly before running out
I open the door, "Hey—" I cut her off by grabbing her arm and dragging her to my room, "Ellie, what the hell was that?" She asks
She sits on the bed and I look at her, "I think my family knows I like Camren" She chuckles, "This is not funny" I groan
"Ellie, everyone knows you and Camren like each other" She says
I sigh and collapse on the bed next to her, "What do I do?" I groan
"You're gonna ask her out and I have the perfect plan" She says
I look at her, "Oh you do, huh?" She nods her head, "What might that be?" I ask
"You can still sing right?" She asks smirking
Oh hell no, "Tabby..." I warn
She smirks, "Come on, the talent show is in two weeks, it's the perfect opportunity to tell her how you feel" I shake my head, "Plus I might have already signed you up a few days ago" She says
My eyes go wide, "You what?!"
She stands up, "Well, as your best friend and wing woman, it is my duty to get you and Camren together" She says
I cross my arms, "How long have you been planning this?" I ask
"Since I found the song you wrote about her in your songbook a few months ago" She confesses
I look at her dumbfounded, "A couple months? Wait, you went through my songbook?" I ask
"Before you get angry, I didn't mean to but it was there and open, I had to. The song is beautiful and perfect" She says
I sigh and pinch the bridge of my nose, "Okay—Okay, so what exactly is your plan?" I ask
She smiles happily pulling me into a hug before she gets serious, "Okay, so..."
She explains everything and I stare at her with the most shocked slash impressed look, "You really have been thinking about this for awhile" I say
She nods her head, "Let's get started" She tells me
[A Few Hours Later]
We've been practicing for hours now, my parents and brother left a little bit ago which was relieving. I definitely didn't want them to ask any questions about what we were doing. I'm sitting on the chair, across from Tabby with my guitar in hand as we perfect the song, "Okay, one more time" Tabby says
I take a breath before I start strumming, "Hmm...Hmm...Hmm" I hum
You know I'd fall apart without you
I don't know how you do what you do
Cause everything that don't make sense about me
Makes sense when I'm with you
Like everything that's green, girl I need you
But it's more than one and one makes two
Put aside the math and the logic of it
You gotta know you're wanted too
Cause I wanna wrap you up
Wanna kiss your lips
I—I wanna make you feel wanted
And I wanna call you mine
Wanna hold your hand forever
And never let you forget it
Yeah, I—I wanna make you feel wanted
Well, anyone can tell you you're pretty
And you get that all the time, I know you do
But your beauty's deeper than the makeup
And I wanna show you what I see tonight
When I wrap you up
When I kiss your lips
I—I wanna make you feel wanted
And I wanna call you mine
Wanna hold your hand forever
And never let you forget it
Cause baby I—I wanna make you feel wanted
As good as you make me feel
I wanna make you feel better
Better than your fairy tales
Better than your best dreams
You're more than everything I need
You're all I ever wanted
All I ever wanted
And I just wanna wrap you up
Wanna kiss your lips
I—I wanna make you feel wanted
And I wanna call you mine
Wanna hold your hand forever
And never let you forget it
Yeah I—I wanna make you feel wanted
Baby I—I wanna make you feel
Wanted
I finish strumming the last cord as I look up at Tabby before she starts clapping, "That's it!" She says excitedly
"Yeah?" I ask as I place the guitar down
She nods her head, "She's definitely gonna fall for you after she hears that" She says causing me to smile
