My Perfect Crush

Chapter Eight

The organizers hand him the microphone.

"A pleasant afternoon to everyone!" He almost screamed at the top of his lungs.

The gymnasium was quite wide open. It has automatic roof. The lights were colorful. The musics were electronic. There were few drinks like cocktails, champagne, vodka or even softdrink. Those were free also. I don't think it's a program but yeah, it is.

"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaa."

"We love you Cauli!"

"Cauli! Cauli! Cauli!"

"Go smokin' hot Cauli Hamlet!"

"This song... is dedicated to a girl who thinks everyone doesn't care about her... everyone loves hurting her. That everyone won't stay forever for her... that she can no longer give her trust to anyone." He heaved a sigh. I can see pain on his eyes. "I will always be there for you. I can be your friend as long as you want. Don't be scared. Just... trust me." He gestured his hand to the pianist.

I'm only one call away

He really has a nice voice. A voice that can melt a cold heart. A voice that can mend a broken soul. A voice that can express a song flawlessly.

I'll be there to save the day

Superman got nothing on me

I'm only one call away

Call me, baby, if you need a friend

I just wanna give you love

C'mon, c'mon, c'mon

Reaching out to you, so take a chance

No matter where you go

You know you're not alone

I want to think that he cares for me. That he is a good friend. But how? How can I when I'm still afraid to trust anyone?

I'm only one call away

I'll be there to save the day

Superman got nothing on me

I'm only one call away

Come along with me and don't be scared

I just wanna set you free

C'mon, c'mon, c'mon

You and me can make it anywhere

For now, we can stay here for a while

'Cause you know, I just wanna see you smile

He told me I'm beautiful whenever I smile. Was that a compliment? I guess... not? I guess it was just a lie.

No matter where you go

You know you're not alone

I'm only one call away

I'll be there to save the day

Superman got nothing on me

I'm only one call away

And when you're weak I'll be strong

I'm gonna keep holding on

Now don't you worry, it won't be long

Darling, and when you feel like hope is gone

Just run into my arms

Slowly I have realized his worth for me. I want him. I need him for my life. But I'm scared. I'm afraid he might break me just like what people have done to me. They make me feel so special, like I was their everything. And then one day I woke up, feeling so empty, alone and worthless.
