*ECHO'S POV*
I was back in the woods. It was just as cold as I remembered.
"Hi, Echo." Lucas said behind me.
I turned around. "Hey."
"Need my jacket again?"
"Sure."
He handed me his jacket, and I put it on.
"I love you." He said as he hugged me.
I hugged him back. "I love you too." I said.
He lied down on the ground.
"Come here." He said.
I lied down next to him, and he picked me up a little bit and positioned me to where I was laying on my side and my head was on his chest.
"Did you have a good birthday?" He asked me.
"Yeah."
"That's good."
"I guess."
"So I see that Ross guy likes you."
"That's what he said..."
"And that's what he means...you should date him."
"I don't know."
"I'm not trying to push you into him. I get it if you don't want to."
"He's okay...I just really don't want anyone else right now..."
"I get it.."
I yawned. "I'm tired."
"I can see that."
"Hey, Lucas?"
"Yeah?"
"Remember our song?"
"Dear Maria Count Me In? What about it?"
"Could you sing it for me?"
He smiled. "Sure."
He took a deep breath, and started to sing quietly with that beautiful voice of his.
"I got your picture, I'm coming with you
Dear Maria, count me in
There's a story at the bottom of this bottle
And I'm the pen
When the lights go off
I wanna watch the way you take the stage by storm
The way you wrap those boys around your finger
Go on and play the leader
'Cause you know it's what you're good at
The low road for the fast track, make every second last
'Cause I got your picture, I'm coming with you
Dear Maria, count me in
There's a story at the bottom of this bottle
And I'm the pen
Make it count
When I'm the one who's selling you out
'Cause it feels like stealing hearts
Calling your name from the crowd
Doesn't that mean
You'll be the showgirl of the home team
I'll be the narrator
Telling another tale of the American dream
I see your name in lights
We could make you a star
Girl, we'll take the world by storm
It isn't that hard
'Cause I got your picture, I'm coming with you
Dear Maria, count me in
There's a story at the bottom of this bottle
And I'm the pen
Make it count
When I'm the one who's selling you out
'Cause it feels like stealing hearts
Calling your name from the crowd, whoa
Take a breath, don't it sound so easy?
Never had a doubt, now I'm going crazy
Watching from the floor
Take a breath and let the rest come easy
Never settle down 'cause the cashflow leaves me
Always wanting more
'Cause I got your picture, I'm coming with you
Dear Maria, count me in
There's a story at the bottom of this bottle
And I'm the pen
Make it count
When I'm the one who's selling you out
'Cause it feels like stealing hearts
Calling your name from the crowd
'Cause I got your picture, I'm coming with you
Dear Maria, count me in
There's a story at the bottom of this bottle..."
"Thanks." I said.
"You're welcome." He said.
We just kind of layed there for a little bit before he stood up.
"Hey, I have to go. I love you." He said before he kissed me and walked away.
