Chapter 17

Mae's POV

After Ethan and I drove off from school, I told him what happened. Then we got food for Max, and went shopping for more clothes, diapers, and toys for max. After that we went food shopping. Then we went shopping for the dog.

Later that night I told my dad what happened. He wasn't happy that I made such a huge decision without telling him first, but in the end, he was glad Max was staying with us again. Max stays in dads room for now, Until dad thinks he's old enough to have his own room. Bentley sleeps in my room, on the bed with me. I can tell dads happy to have a form of mom back.

Then the girls came over and I told them everything from Ethan seeing me cry to me telling my dad what happened.

-2 weeks later-

My birthday is in 3 weeks. Junior prom is in 2 weeks, and I haven't even gotten a dress yet. Matt hasn't even asked me yet. Ethan and I have definitely gotten closer. Matt has been very distance lately, but I think it's just because he doesn't like Ethan.

I'm currently sitting in bed playing around with my guitar. I've been in the middle of making this song, but I can't seem to find a second verse. I start playing it from the start.

"A dangerous plan, just this time
A stranger's hand clutched in mine
I'll take this chance, so call me blind
I've been waiting all my life
Please don't scar this young heart
Just take my hand

I was made for loving you
Even though we may be hopeless hearts just passing through
Every bone screaming I don't know what we should do
All I know is, darling, I was made for loving you."

I don't know what to add. It's like I'm stuck, and I have no idea what my inspiration for this song was because it surely wasn't Matt. Just then Ethan knocked on my window. I got up and unlocked it so he could get in.

"Hey neighbor."

"Hey Ethan." I sighed as I put my hair in a messy bun.

"I saw you playing your guitar. What're you working on?"

"Nothing." My cheeks turned red. He then pinched a cheek.

"You're a bad liar." He then walked past me and grabbed the sheet I was writing the lyrics down on. After a moment he spoke up.

"Who's this about?"

"I don't know. The lyrics just kinda came to me." I shrugged.

"Well I know what the lyrics need."

"What?"

"Me. I could add a verse for you."

"You sing?"

"And play guitar and piano and bass."

"Ok. Let's see what you got." I picked up my guitar and started strumming. "A dangerous plan, just this time
A stranger's hand clutched in mine
I'll take this chance, so call me blind
I've been waiting all my life
Please don't scar this young heart
Just take my hand

I was made for loving you
Even though we may be hopeless hearts just passing through
Every bone screaming I don't know what we should do
All I know is, darling, I was made for loving you."

He let me play a few chords before singing. "Hold me close through the night
Don't let me go, we'll be alright
Touch my soul and hold it tight
I've been waiting all my life
I won't scar your young heart
Just take my hand" He placed his hand on my thigh.
