Nancy Drew: The Story Of Us

chapter 29

Chapter 29

 When I was walking next to the park I saw a little girl sitting on the bench in tears holding a mirror and walked over to her.

“Hi there,” she looked up, “what wrong?” I was kneeling in front of her.

“Everyone says I’m ugly and uncool,” she looked about nine or eleven, “I was looking at myself in the mirror and saw that they were right, I wish I was as beautiful as you Nancy your so perfect I want to be like you,”

“Oh dear,” I mumbled then I looked at her, “you know what I see when I look at you?”

“What?”

“I see the most beautiful and coolest person ever created by god,”

“That not true, you are, I’m short and ugly,” then she looked down at her arms, “and plus I have scars all over me,”

And I started singing:

Hey you what's the matter Lately you've been looking down Is that someone in the mirror The reason you don't come around? That's crazy This isn't the you I know Feeling un-pretty. Puttin' on a show. You don't wanna be a wannabe. So who you really gonna be? Only You can be you. And only I can be me. You always wanna be what you're not. Can't you be happy with what you got? Your perfect the way you are. With your insecurities, doubts, and scars. Life's too short to worry. Don't you know it's true. Only you can be you And I can be me Only you can be you And I can be me

I stood and started dancing,

You think you ain't got swagger Gotta be cooler than you are I think whatever Let 'em know that you're a star Be crazy Be who you wanna be No maybe Your a celebrity You don; t wanna be a wannabe Show them who your gonna be Only You can be you. And only I can be me. You always wanna be what you're not. Can't you be happy with what you got? Your perfect the way you are. With your insecurities, doubts, and scars. Life's to short to worry. Don't you know it's true. Only you can be you And I can be me Only you can be you And I can be me

She stood and started dancing as I began to rap:

If you love who you are Put your hands up You feelin' good 'bout yourself Than stand up You feelin' fabulous Put your hands up You could be you, I could be me You a star if you ain't on TV You tall, you short, you different, you cute You light, you dark, you beautiful, you, you Only You can be you. And only I can be me. You always wanna be what you're not. Can't you be happy with what you   got? Your perfect the way you are. With your insecurities, doubts, and scars. Life's too short to worry. Don't you know it's true. Only you can be you And I can be me Only you can be you And I can be me Only you can be you And I can be me

When I finished singing she hugged me and I hugged her back, “Thank you, Nancy I know now that I’m prefect,”
“You’re welcome, bye,” I waved at her while I walked away.

I was still searching for Ned when I saw two young people making out outside a bar. When I looked closely I saw that it was Ned and Ashley.

“Ned how could you, again?” they stopped making out and was looking at me

“Nancy! Let me explain!” he said urgently.

“Explain what Ned, how can you possibly explain this Ned!”

“I, uh, um,”

“No, you can’t well good bye Ned, forever,” I turned and was about to run away but Ned gripped my wrist and I stared at him with tears running down my face.

“Nancy, please don’t go,” I ripped my hands away from him, “please forgive me,”

“No Ned, you did this to me again, Ned, again!” I was seriously sobbing down, “Ned, you hurt me again and you said that you’ll never do it again and I was foolish to believe you,” I stared at him with pain in my eyes, he looked as though he was in serious pain. I started singing:

It's strange to think the songs we used to sing The smiles the flowers everything: is gone Yesterday i found out about you Even now just looking at you: feels wrong You say that you'd take it all back given one chance It was a moment of weakness and you said yes... You should've said no you should've gone home You should've thought twice before you let it all go You should've know that word bout what you did with her Would get back to me... And i should've been there in the back of your mind I shouldn't be asking myself why You shouldn't be begging for forgiveness at my feet... You should've said no baby and you might still have me

I walked up to him and poked his chest

You can see that i've been crying And baby you know all the right things: to say But do you honestly expect me to believe We could ever be the same... You say that the past is the past you need one chance It was a moment of weakness and you said yes... You should've said no you should've gone home You should've thought twice before you let it all go You should've know that word bout what you did with her Would get back to me... And i should've been there in the back of your mind I shouldn't be asking myself why You shouldn't be begging for forgiveness at  my feet... You should've said no baby and you might still have me

 I pointed at the Ashley and looked at Ned

I can't resist... before you go tell me this Was it worth it... Was she worth this... No... no no no... You should've said no you should've gone home You should've thought twice before you let it all go You should've know that word bout what you did with her Would get back to me... And i should've been there in the back of your mind I shouldn't be asking myself why You shouldn't be begging for forgiveness at my feet... You should've said no baby and you might still have me

When I finished I ran down the pavement and into the forest.
