In which Bailey West is fostered and adopted by Lin-Manuel Miranda. More

the sky's the limit
i'll make the world safe and sound for you
you outshine the morning sun, my son
i am the one thing in life i can control
from your sister, who is always by you're side
i looked up and the town had it's eyes on me
we'll pass it onto you, we'll give the world to you
write like you're running out of time
when you're livin' on your knees you rise up
a million things i haven't done
passionately smashing every expectation
boy you got me helpless
laurens, i like you a lot
and my heart went boom
let's go upstate
someday i would blow us all away
i'm not falling behind
i know i dont deserve you
love doesn't discriminate
what time is it
look at where we are
for just a moment
so many have tried
the world turned upside down
close to my chest
click-boom
and it happened
stay alive
how lucky we are to be alive right now
you should've told me
the world will never be the same
stand with me
that would be enough
grab a friend, thats your second
and i'm a little nervous but i can't show it
we move as one
we cry and we break
living is harder
what to say to you
and i thought i was so smart
my life is gon' be fine
do not throw away your shot
i'm about to change your life
we dream in the dark for the most part
that's what i'm talking about
wise up
i was louder than the crack in the bell
remember from here on in
you are the worst, burr
take a break
it's a dream and it's a bit of a dance
i will never be satisfied
include women in the sequel
i guess i better think of something to say
summon all the courage you require
soon that attitude may be your doom
teach 'em how to say goodbye
:)

that never used to happen before

Bails,
Apparently that's what Anthony calls me now. Bails. I have a lot of new nicknames, hija, bails, Daveed just likes to say Bailey West really fast. I like nicknames. I don't know why.
There's been a weight on my chest lately, not like I have something to say, just a weight that I'm annoying to Lin. I don't like being annoying, I like to just observe usually. That's my thing. I used to keep a book of writing. When I would take the bus home I would see a lot of people, and I would write their stories.
I just want to sleep, Lin's pretty much had to pull me out of bed the last three days. Lin says he's worried about me but I can't see how. I'm just going through a phase, I'll be fine. I'm always fine, somehow, I just am.
Lin has been on the phone with Social Services lately and I don't know if I should be scared or happy. I don't know if he wants to adopt me or if I need a new place and I'm terrified. I want to be here. I wanna make breakfast with Sebastian one day and surprise Lin. I want to go to Vanessa's work and see what she does. I want to be there for Seb's first girlfriends. I want to be there for Anthony and Jasmines wedding. I can't lose them. I promised myself I wouldn't get attached because when you get attached something bad happens.
Get attached to your brother, he dies. Attached to his best friend? You're taken from him.
I've decided it's not good for me to have free time. I feel like something bad will happen and I'm scared. I'm so scared lately just scared of losing Lin, the cast, gymnastics. I don't want to be scared anymore.
