The place goes silent as the guys start. I take out
my cell phone from my pocket to turn down the
volume and I realize I’ve got a message flashing
on the display that I haven’t read.
We have to talk. Call me.
Nate.
I’ve been ignoring him for days, since he found
out. I haven’t been able to talk about it with
Patrick with all that’s been going on and a
thousand emotions I’ve gone through in the last
twenty-four hours.
I sigh heavily, knowing that I’ll have to tell him
everything, but then the words hit me, those words
that open my eyes, pull back the curtains and let in
the daylight.
I don’t believe that anybody … Feels the way I
do about you now.
I take in my deep breaths to try to avoid the
tears. Even if it’s Liam singing my heart knows
that it’s someone else pronouncing the words.
And all the roads we have to walk are winding
… And all the lights that lead us there are
blinding.
And he’s there smiling at me backing up Liam. I
know that he doesn’t sing and says he doesn’t have
a nice voice but those few scratchy out-of-tune
words go straight to my heart, filling it with love.
There are many things that I would … Like to
say to you … But I don’t know how.
And I know that he’s not able to express himself
