For The First Time (Ross Lynch Fan Fic)

2- singing neighbours

The next day I was sitting in my room strumming my guitar trying to think of new lyrics

It’s the things you do

The way you smile

That really caught my eye

I chewed the tip of my pencil staring down intently on the words written down “hey Matti” Michael called knocking on my door “I know you’re in the process of writing a song and I shouldn’t disturb you but Mum wants us to meet the new neighbours” I paused pencil at my lips “alright but I really should be writing this song and you know what I’m like when I get going” I called back pulling my guitar off and changing out of my shorts and one of Michael’s old t shirts into something much more presentable I got out a pair of high waisted shorts, tucked in my Nirvana t shirt and put on a pair of black converse slinging my guitar back over and picking up my blackberry I opened the door “dude Mum’s gonna freak when she finds out your bringing your guitar with you” he said eyeing the guitar I was wearing . I walked downstairs to find Mum all dressed up in a red dress and black heels she turned round and saw me “what are you wearing darling” I straightened my top a bit and sighed “Mum I’ve only got a one track mind at the moment” I replied totally eager to get back to my song, she shook her head “oh composers these days” she whispered under her breath “I smiled “their place or ours?” I asked ignoring her comment “oh they’re coming here” I shifted nervously on my feet but kept my nerves to myself.

I was sat in the living room strumming to myself when I heard the door go, Mum went to go get it “hi welcome to our home. I’m Amanda and my children Matilda and Michael should be around here somewhere” she greeted the neighbours then turned and yelled “MATTI! MICHAEL!” I stopped strumming swung my guitar so it was resting on my back and went to introduce myself to my new neighbours “hi the names Matilda but call me Matti” I smiled at the family in front of me Michael did the same they introduced us to their children Riker, Rydel, Rocky, Ross and Ryland in my head I was going OMG! I’ve just met 4/5’s of R5!! Whereas on the outside I was as cool as can be. Rocky piped up “you guys look familiar, where have I seen you two before?” he pondered then it hit him “oh yeah you’re the duo who sang in the park yesterday! You guys rock!” I blushed at his compliment “hey you sing?” Ross asked “yeah and play guitar, hence the guitar” I pointed to my guitar I was still wearing “I never saw you perform at the park unlike my siblings here” he gestured to his siblings around him “show us what you got” he told me “well alright then, come in and I’ll show you” we gathered in the living room I took a calming breath then started strumming Good Riddance (Time Of Your Life) by Green Day

Another turning point, a fork stuck in the road

 Time grabs you by the wrist, directs you where to go

 So make the best of this test, and don't ask why

 It's not a question, but a lesson learned in time

It's something unpredictable, but in the end is right.

 I hope you had the time of your life.

So take the photographs, and still frames in your mind

 Hang it on a shelf in good health and good time

 Tattoos of memories and dead skin on trial

 For what it's worth it was worth all the while

It's something unpredictable, but in the end is right.

I hope you had the time of your life.

It's something unpredictable, but in the end is right.

I hope you had the time of your life.

It's something unpredictable, but in the end is right.

I hope you had the time of your life

I finished strumming the last chords and looked up to see my audience’s reaction Michael and Mum were grinning already knowing what I was capable of whereas the Lynch clan were shocked speechless, Riker gained his voice back first “w-ow” was all he was capable of saying everyone just nodded their heads agreeing with what he said still unable to comprehend how talented I am, I grinned I just stunned my idol into silence just by singing one song. My Mum just stood there not knowing how to get our guests out of their trance I smiled evilly and turned to Michael we knew how to sort this out I started strumming and Michael started singing our song we created whenever something like this happens

What’s that I smell?

Is that a home cooked meal

Well let’s not waste it

I joined in now

All because you heard me play

I mean I’m not that great

So shut those mouths

And follow that smell

As there’s a home cooked meal

A home cooked meal

After we finished our song everyone was making their way to the table obviously realising that there was food going cold. Me and Michael hi fived each other that song works every time. We all sat down chatting and enjoying our meal. I was sad to see them go, I was at the door letting them out when Ross came up to me “errm hi you’re awesome! Can I have your number Matti?” I nodded and got out my sharpie from behind my ear grabbed his arm and wrote down my phone number. I then rushed upstairs ideas for my song rushing through my head

It’s the things you do

The way you smile

That really caught my eye

I don’t know what it is

But you’re always on my mind

I don’t know what it is

But everything you do

The way you laugh

It’s everything you do

My pencil fell out my hand and my head slumped on to my desk I fell asleep with my head on my lyrics grinning like a maniac.
