Tap on my window knock on my door
I want to make you feel beautiful
I know I tend to get insecure
It doesn’t matter anymore

There’s a girl, who stands on her bedroom balcony, just another day thinking alone. She leans on the railing, as the tips of her feet stick just about an inch over the side. She gazes out to a villa in front of her, she’s supposed to be that million dollar girl that was poised for stardom before she was even born, she could get anything she wanted. But the one thing she wanted most of all, was a thing that didn’t come wrapped in a box with a pretty red ribbon around it. No, what this girl wanted was to finally breathe and feel alive.

The clock had struck twelve times, some would call it midnight others would call it too late to still be awake, as Jocelyn Parker gazed out the window, seeing the same yellow bricks of the old villa that stood across from hers in Hollywood, California. Jocelyn was expected to do great things, having an wildly popular rockstar as a father, and a stunning Oscar winning actress as a mother she was bound to be amazing. And Jocelyn grew up to be just as everyone expected, drop dead gorgeous with her father’s piercing blue eyes and her mother’s long dark brown hair, with tints of hazel as her hair gusted around her face.

She sighed as her eyes stared at the floor of the balcony as she spun around and headed inside her bedroom, creeping inside her bed, staring up at off-white coloured ceiling.

Jocelyn closed her eyes and stirred around as she fell into a deep sleep, dreaming of the one thing she desired more than anything, a true friend.

Hearing a grumbling noise of a car, Jocelyn’s eyes slowly opened as she crouched up from her bed, ruffling in her dark hair as she ran a brush through it and walked out to her balcony, feeling the cold surface of the tiles she walked over to the railing seeing across from her house a large bus had parked on the road, seeing a family appear getting out of the black bus. Jocelyn looked at the dark sky seeing a faint flow of blue run through the dark early morning sky, she guessed it was merely 6:30 AM. A tall boy, with straight dark hair, carried a little boy with messy dark hair into the house, as another boy who jumped around making a cartwheel ran inside, then a calmer natured boy with curly dark brown hair came out, and he did something that Jocelyn never experienced before, he noticed her. It wasn’t as if Jocelyn wasn’t noticed, she was noticed mostly by the press, modelling agencies, and so on, but never by a boy that caught her eye.

The young boy gazed out to the beautiful girl who stood on the balcony across from his house, as her dark hair slightly waved across her face while a soft gust of wind breezed past her, her piercing blue eyes made it difficult for the young boy to tear his eyes away as the crazier sibling came running outside, gently shaking the boy with the curly hair around who snapped out of his little dream world as he had locked eyes with Jocelyn for a moment.

As the boy walked into his house, following his brother he looked back one last time seeing the girl still standing there on the balcony gazing out to the skies, a small smile crept on his face as he closed the door behind him, Jocelyn sighed and turned around entering her room. She twirled around and fell on her bed sky blue covered bed.

A smile crept on her face as she jumped up and ran down the stairs, finding nobody was home of course – apart from the maid. Her mother was filming a movie in some far away land, like Zimbabwe and her father was on his 11^th world tour. Jocelyn sighed as she slowly prepared her breakfast. Sitting down at the long dining table, with her being the only one at that lonely table she slowly started eating her cereal. Bringing the empty bowl back to the kitchen she went upstairs to change, she put on a pair of blue skinny jeans, a gray t-shirt with a white vest, putting a pair of aviator sunglasses on her head as she walked out to her balcony again, the sun had risen up and illuminated her surroundings.

She felt a soft and gentle gust of wind breeze down upon her face, as she gazed out to that same house, which had changed from an abandoned house to a lively residence filled with joy of the family that had arrived early in the morning. Gazing out to the house as the russet coloured front door opened, revealing the boy with the curly dark hair, his eyes searched for the girl with the broken smile, standing on the balcony across from his home. He smiled as his dark brown sparkling eyes met her piercing crystal blue eyes as she smiled back at him. The boy crossed the street, standing in front of her balcony as he stared up at her, as she gazed down at him.

The curly haired boy was like an acrobat as he climbed up and stood on the other side of the railing as he stood right in front of Jocelyn.

“Hi, I’m Nick.” Nick greeted in a quiet voice as he didn’t tear his eyes away from hers.

“Jocelyn.” Jocelyn replied as a breathtaking smile spread across her face.

Nick held his hands tightly gripped on the railing. “May I?” He asked as he referred to climbing to her side.

Jocelyn nodded. “Of course.” She replied, as Nick effortlessly climbed to her side, as his feet met the surface he turned to Jocelyn who smiled as Nick moved a bit closer towards her.

“How come I’ve never seen you before?” Nick asked as he had one hand on the railing, while smiling suavely.

Jocelyn let out a light chuckle. “Boy, I’ve lived here all my life. Why haven’t I seen you before?” She countered in a charming tone as Nick felt the attraction towards this mysterious girl grow stronger every time a slight sound escaped from her lips, even if she merely blinked her eyes hiding those striking crystal blue eyes for a split second.

“I’m never around, but I want to be.” Nick said smiling, he was intrigued by this stunning girl seeing the wind flail around her gorgeous dark brown hair.

About three weeks later Nick arrived at Jocelyn’s house, they had been hanging out day after day, spending as much time together as they could. Nick always used the excuse: “I thought that you could use some company.” As Jocelyn opened the door with a grin spreading across her fair face.

“Come on in.” Jocelyn’s said in that charming tone as she spun around opening the door a bit further, as Nick came inside. That sunny summer day Jocelyn was wearing a stunning sky blue dress that waved around graciously as Jocelyn spun around. Nick had felt his attraction towards the stunning, charming and sweet Jocelyn develop into something that went beyond a little crush on the girl that lived across the street. It was getting harder and harder for Nick to be around her, because there was so much he couldn’t say. This feeling he had was slowly but surely taking control over him, and he couldn’t stop it, with every slight glimpse he caught of Jocelyn made his heart jump. “Do you want anything to drink?” Jocelyn asked as she closed the door behind Nick.

Nick shook his head. “I’m fine, thanks.” He flashed a smile at her, as Jocelyn smiled walking next to him as they went inside the living room. Most of the time they spent together, was actually just talking about their beliefs, goals, and basically anything. Nick felt comfortable around Jocelyn, as Jocelyn felt the same way, she finally found the one thing she had been missing in her life, a true friend. “Have you ever felt like..” Nick started as he gulped. “You’re falling in love with your friend?”

Jocelyn looked up curiously. “I’ve never really had any real friends. I never wanted to be friends with people just because my parents are famous.” Jocelyn explained, she never wanted to be like Paris Hilton, Nicole Richie and so on.

“Oh.” Nick said quietly. “Do you believe that it’s possible to fall in love with a friend though?” He asked curiously.

I know where you hide
Alone in your car
Know all of the things that make you who you are
I know that goodbye means nothing at all
Comes back and begs me to catch her every time she falls

It was the begin of Autumn, it had been two months since Nick met those crystal blue eyes in the early morning of a summer day. The boys had just played a concert in a city close to their home  As they drove home it was about 7 PM, Nick jumped out of the tour bus, his eyes searched for those crystal blue eyes, meeting them as he spotted Jocelyn standing on the balcony leaning over the railing, it looked like she was going to jump off her balcony.

Nick ran, faster than he thought was even human as he lithely climbed up there and wrapped his arms around her waist.

“Jocelyn, what’s going on?” He said as he gently pulled her away from the railing, towards him.

As he lay his hand on her hip he turned her around, seeing traces of tears that had rolled down those fair cheeks.

“My parents decided to dump me here, again. I just -.” Jocelyn didn’t finish her sentence as she broke down crying, Nick pulled her close to him as she dug her face in his chest. He gently rubbed her back as she faced him. “Nobody honestly cares.” She whispered, Nick was shocked that she’d even think that, when she meant the world to him as he wiped away a tear with his thumb.

“But Jocelyn, I .. I .. love you.” Nick stammered quietly. Jocelyn was caught off guard but you could see a weak smile curve on her lips.

“I .. I think I love you too.” She whispered to him as Nick tried not to let a cheesy grin spread across his face, he pulled her close to him as he passionately kissed her, feeling his lips tingle as he pulled away, embracing Jocelyn tightly as he folded his arms around her. It finally happened for Jocelyn, she finally took a breath of life, finding herself folded in the arms of her true friend, whom she loved and cared about, as he felt likewise about her. This girl that was meant to be amazing, was amazing to the boy with the curly hair who noticed her for who she was, not for anything else, just for being Jocelyn Parker, the girl on the balcony. As they stood there, moments of silence passed by, embracing each other and not wanting this moment of truth and affection ever end.

“I’ll be there for you, like I’ve been there before.” Nick whispered lastly as he pecked her on the forehead. They heard a rumble come from the clouds as drops of rain started to fall down, they didn’t seem to care as Nick’s dark brown eyes were locked with Jocelyn’s piercing crystal blue eyes.

Jocelyn took his hand as she took Nick inside. “I better go home..” Nick said to give Jocelyn some time to be alone as he headed towards the door, feeling the cold surface of the metal. “Nick.” Jocelyn said in a gentle voice. Nick turned around and looked at Jocelyn, her dark hair was wet by the rain, but those beautiful eyes sparkled. “Stay.” She said just above a whisper, Nick smiled as he walked over to Jocelyn and wrapped one arm around her back and gently pulled her closer to him, with his free hand he cupped her face to look him right in the eyes. “Forever.” He whispered as he tenderly kissed her, he believed he finally met the girl of his dreams and Jocelyn finally knew what it was like to feel alive for once in her life.

I don’t mind spending everyday
Out on your corner in the pouring rain
Look for the girl with the broken smile
Ask her if she wants to stay awhile
And she will be loved
She will be loved

The End.
