Story Two
'Sparks Fly'
"The way you move is like a full on rainstorm
And I'm a house of cards
You're the kind of reckless
That should send me running"
I look around my new math class, I know absolutely no one. Not a single person. 'fantastic' I think sarcastically to myself.
'Can I sit here?' I look up to see who'd spoken to me, a tall blue eyed kids eyes met mine, "I suppose so." I really could care less. I was determined to just breeze through this class and never think of it again.
"I'm Matthew." he said.
"Beth." I said blankly, all the while thinking "...this boy is not going to let me slide past without a word."
"But I kinda know that I won't get far
And you stood there in front of me
Just close enough to touch
Close enough to hope you couldn't see
What I was thinking of"
Matt became part of my day after that. I, of course didn't let him, he forcefully had in the end. It started with teasing and then like a worm he had wiggled his way into my daily routine. I didn't let him know though. I'd never been the one to show how she felt, especially this year. I'd promised myself that I'd stop letting my heart run who I was. I needed to think more. This boy however made me forget all that, he had danger written all over him. But as long as he didn't know what I was thinking I knew I was safe. So we continued like that, friends. Him trying his hardest to make me laugh and me trying my hardest to keep him far far far away from my heart.
"My mind forgets to remind me, You're a bad idea.
You touch me once and it's really something, You find I'm even better than you imagined I would be.
I'm on my guard for the rest of the world but with you I know it's no good and I could wait patiently but I really wish you would.."
I sat slumped over my hand out, I hated this crap, why did I need to know the location of the intersection of two lines on a graph? Matt looked at me and smiled, " Need help loser?"
"No. I'm good" I said
Still though he slid his seat to my side and took the pencil from me.
"Look you just have to move the x intercept and then plug y equals into the calculator for both.."
"BLAH BLAH BLAH." I interrupted. "Let me nap."
"Beth.. Come on... Fine, never mind then." he said, already defeated. "We should hang out..?"
"No." I spoke quietly but firmly.
"Why not?"
"That's a disaster waiting to happen."
"You can't just hang out? Let your damn guard down for once!?" he said, hurt underlined his voice.
"Okay, okay. Tonight. One chance."
"I run my fingers through your hair and watch the lights go wild.
Just keep on keeping your eyes on me, it's just wrong enough to make it feel right. Lead me up the staircase
Won't you whisper soft and slow?
I'm captivated by you, baby, like a firework show."
And there I was, leaning on Matt as we watched some lame action movie he'd picked out. But we both knew he'd won. My heart was for the taking. I look up at him, in that moment all the walls I had built crumbled when his lips met mine. I was captivated.
End.
Welcome to my mind.

Mine
Story ONE
"Mine"
*You were in college working part time waitin’ tables
Left a small town, never looked back
I was a flight risk with a fear of fallin’
Wondering why we bother with love if it never lasts*
I looked up at my best friend, Luke, as we walked to Mrs. Hicks Spanish class. I hated this class, even dr
eaded going but he made it a tiny bit better everyday. Just like every day before, and as expected for every day after he slid his hand into his pocket and pulled out a folded up piece of note book paper and slipped it into my hand. I smiled, hugged him and told him to go now, if he didn't he'd never make it to class on time, even if it was just basketball, I didn't like to make him late. He smiled and walked away. I slipped into class and sat next to Emily, she smiled and said 'him again? You must like him!"
I replied shyly " No, he's my best friend, I couldn't ever."
Okay, okay we'll see." Emily said with a devilish smile plastered on her face. Mrs Hicks introduced a new level of Spanish vocabulary I sat taking notes but I was so far from the class I was in. I was thinking about what Emily was saying, "we'll see", it bothered me for some reason, it was only the start of my tenth grade year, I wasn't worried about boys, falling in love. It just wasnt my thing. I wondered 'why we bothered with lve if it never lasts'. The bell rang and I stood, shocked that I was abruptly awakened from my thoughts. It was time for lunch. I grabbed my bag and walked with Bella as she chatted about the new boy in her life, Chris, I was in and out the conversation, listening enough to respond correctly but not enough to make her believe I was with her mentally.
'Beth? Are you okay?'
'yess. Yess, I'm fine. Just a little distracted.' quickly veering the subject back to Chris. We got to the cafeteria and she went to sit with her friends as I went to find Kate, Callie, Kandis and Allison, I hadn't known them long but their stories made me laugh enough to make me want to stick around. I'd wished Luke was there. I listened as Kandis told me about her Saturday night from the weekend before. I pulled out a piece of paper so I could write back to Luke. Kandis didn't even notice and lunch continued on like that.
When the bell rang to dimiss us from lunch I was already outside by the basketball entrance with my note to Luke. He greeted me with a smile, took the note and walked me back to Spanish. Day after day, this was what kept me going to school.
*Do you remember, we were sitting there by the water?
You put your arm around me for the first time.
You made a rebel of a careless man’s careful daughter.
You are the best thing that’s ever been mine.*
Soon Luke and I were spending after school tutoring together everyday. Talking. Laughing. And maybe even falling in love.
He got me like no one ever had.
*Flash forward and we’re taking on the world together,
And there’s a drawer of my things at your place.
You learn my secrets and you figure out why I’m guarded,
You say we’ll never make my parents’ mistakes.*
He knew about my family, he understood. He made it all go away, all I saw was him. We took the world on together. We were never alone.
*And I remember that fight. Two-thirty AM. As everything was slipping right out of our hands
I ran out crying and you followed me out into the street
Braced myself for the "Goodbye"
‘cause that’s all I’ve ever known
Then you took me by surprise
You said, "I’ll never leave you alone."*
The night young and amazing. October 15 perfect. Cool enough. Stadium lights. Hearts beating fast. High school football games. Perfect. Until the fight.
It was over.
Hearts broken
Luke gone.
Beth alone.
He was no longer 'mine'.
End.
"Mine"

Helllllllo:)
I know I know, I have failed you all. I really need to start keeping up with you. Just so much work and so little down time, that when I do have some I enjoy catching up on my serious lack of sleep. Anyway. I have decided I will write my 'fan fiction' here. But with a twist. I'm going to use Taylor swifts speak now album and center each story around those lyrics. The reason behind this is because 11/5/11 I shall watch Taylor swift sing in my home town. I lve her! Ill put them in separate posts. So look for song one!
Love BJ
