it was originally suppose to be a one shot but it was too long for it, so yeah. it might be a two or three shot now. :) and ashlynn said she wanted to bug me XD
Rachelle crumpled another sheet of paper into a ball and tossed it into the garbage bin. She scribbled a few more words on a new sheet. “You’re the light in me…the only one I see,” She sang to herself before the scratched out the words. “No…not good enough!”
Nick walked into the room willingly and sat next to Rachelle on the bed. “You’re cute when you’re stressed” He told Rachelle laughing.
“Not now Nick!” Rachelle snapped. “Im blanking here”
Nick and Rachelle were best friends for as long as they can remember. They grew up together in a humble community sharing the same love in music. Rachelle loved writing music just as much as Nick did, but she has been having a lot of trouble lately, there was something bugging her.
“Chelle, Relax” Nick sighed pulling her towards him. Rachelle leaned on his shoulder whilst Nick wrapped his arms over her. “It’s late, you need some rest. Write tomorrow” Nick could feel the tension on her back calm down.
“Ugh. I don t know why im having so much trouble writing” Rachelle yawned; she shut her eyes and wrapped her arms around Nicks torso. Slowly, she began to fall asleep in his arms. Nick laid there, holding her close and listened to her breathing. “Nick” She muttered groggily before she completely shut down. Nick rested his cheek on to top of her head and began to sleep.
Rachelle woke up, still lying in Nick’s arms, she could hear him snore weakly and she couldn’t help but laugh, her laugh began to make Nick stir. “Sorry” She apologized. “I forgot you were a light sleeper”
“Good morning to you too” Nick whispered groggily. The two pulled away from each other and stretched. “What time is it?”
Rachelle glanced at the clock on the wall. “Wow, it’s already noon” She yawned. “We slept in”
“Oh” Nick gasped. “Mom is probably wondering where I am. I better go home” Rachelle nodded. Nick walked to her bedroom door, twisting the knob. “I’ll come over later”

Nick got home to find his family in the kitchen. His mom was lingering over the stove cooking lunch while his brothers and dad were sitting on the kitchen table fooling around. “Im home” Nick chimed walking into the kitchen.
“Did you sleep at Rachelle’s last night?” His mom asked.
“Yeah, We were writing a song and then we sorta feel asleep” Nick explained taking a seat next to Joe. Nick’s mom loved Rachelle, and she loved the fact that the two were inseparable.
“Okay” She replied. “Why don’t you invite her to dinner?”
“Sure” Nick agreed “I’ll call her later”
After lunch, Nick stayed in his room staring at the ceiling with his ear buds plugged in listening to Elvis Costello.
She may be the face I cant forget
The trace of pleasure or regret
Maybe the treasure or the price I have to pay
She may be the song that summer sings
May be the chill that autumn brings
May be a hundred different things
Within the measure of a day.
He smiled to himself, thinking about how Rachelle fit these lyrics perfectly. He didn’t want to admit it but he was slowly falling for his best friend.
Just then his phone vibrated in his pocket, he blushed when Rachelle showed up on the caller ID. “Hey Chelle, I was just about to call you.”
“Nick…” Rachelle sobbed weakly on the other line. “Help me”
