Day (after June is no longer grounded)

I still feel bad about it. Of course I do. I just couldn't have June going out with another guy.

It was set up. The whole prison thing. I didn't really get arrested but a guy in the higher ups owed me a favor.

I couldn't just have June go out with Zac. It was so obvious what he wanted from her. It disgusted me.

I told the guy to pretend it was a fake ID charge. Hopefully June doesn't question it. Maybe someday I'll tell her the truth.

I wrote a song about her. I can't believe that I did that.

(A/N: Brett Eldredge If you were my girl)

[Verse 1]
You light up every street light
You stop every heart when you start that smile
But somehow you're still lonely
Oh let me show you why you're the only one I wanna give my heart to
If you give me the chance, oh I'll show you it's alright
Oh watch your life

[Chorus]
To pick you up, I'd lay you down
I'd hold you 'til you come unwound
I'd make you feel like you're all I need
In this whole world
Ah, if you were my girl
If you were my girl

[Verse 2]
You wouldn't be staring at the ceiling
With a half broke heart wondering if that feeling
Is ever going to fade away
I'd change all that if you let me today
Cause I've never wanted anything
The way I want you next to me
For all my life
Come on let's ride

[Chorus]
I'll pick you up, I'll lay you down
I'd hold you 'til you come unwound
I'd make you feel like you're all I need
In this whole world
Ah, if you were my girl
If you were my girl

[Bridge]
For the first time maybe ever, who am I kidding
Girl I've never felt the way I feel, oh it's so real

[Chorus]
Let me pick you up, and lay you down
Hold you 'til you come unwound
I'll make you feel like you're all I need
In this whole world, In this whole world
If you were my girl (If you were my girl)

[Tag]
If you were my girl
If you were, if you were my girl
If you were my girl
Oh if you were, if you were my girl
If you were, if you were my girl

She wouldn't like it. I like her a lot more than I thought. I seem to be rediscovering that
fact daily.

Today June is coming over. I tidy my room slightly before running through that song again. Not that I'd ever sing it for her.

I've been playing guitar since I was six. My parents wanted me to do cello but I refused.

I have written songs before but this is probably my best. I hear the doorbell ring and run to the kitchen. June has already been let in by Eden.

"Hey Day." She says. "You were right about that whole Zac thing. Thanks for trying to warn me. It's not even that he was mean, he just was nice and it bothered me. It was like he wanted something. He did."

We walk up to my room. June ends up beating me there and sees the notebook on my floor. Crap.

She picks it up before sitting on the edge of my bed.

"What's this? Your diary?" She asks jokingly. After a few moments she lets out a breath.

"Did you write this?" She asks.

"Yeah." I say sheepishly.

"Is this about a girl?"

"Maybe."

"It's really good. Who?"

"You." I whisper.

"What?" She asks, obviously caught off guard. She then stands up and walks over to my guitar.

"Sing it to me?" She asks.

"June I don't-"

"Please Day."

"Fine." I say. I swear she could make me do anything.

"Thanks." She says hugging me. I roll my eyes.

After I finish the song June looks up at me. Could I have written something any less obvious?

"Is that, I mean, is it true?" June asks.

"Is what true?" I ask. I think I know but I don't want to.

"The lyrics I mean, is that uh, do you feel that way?"

"About you?" I ask. She nods sheepishly.

"Yes." I say. Her eyes widen. She sits down next to me.

"Day, I-"

"You don't have to say anything June, but next time don't make me sing the song." She smiles.

June then grabs me by the face and presses her lips to mine. I kiss her back, slowly wrapping my arms around her waist.

June is the first to pull away. She stands up, gives me a tight smile and runs off. What... was... that?

It was amazing but she left. What if she didn't think the same? What if she regretted it?

How will I ever face her at school tomorrow?

I walk into the kitchen where John and Ally are making pizza.

"Hey shortie, what's up?" I say to Ally. She rolls her eyes and punches me in the arm.

"Hey John." I say.

"You're girlfriend just ran out of here like the house was on fire, something wrong?"

"First of all, she's my best friend, not my girlfriend. Second, I don't know." That was a lie. I mean she obviously ran because she was angry with herself for kissing me.

"Well we're making pepperoni pizza." Ally says. "In about ten minutes it'll be done."

"Okay." I say.

The timer goes off a little later and we let the pizza cool.

"So, how about that weather?" I ask.

"Daniel just take some pizza and go away." John says.

"Okay okay. I get it. You just want to be alone together." I say shooting Ally a wink. They both roll their eyes.

I find Eden shortly later outside by the pool.

"June kissed me." I say.

"Whoah." Eden says. "When?"

"Well I kinda wrote her a song and she found the notebook it was in and made me sing it and then yeah."

"Oh." He says. "Good luck with that."

No kidding. What do I do now?
