As soon as I got home from Lionette practice, I ran to my room and got out my computer.

All I could think about was Ev's song.

I pulled up the file and printed out the lyrics.

I sat down on the floor with earbuds, a pen, a highlighter, and open mind.

I won't lie to you
I know he's just not right for you

Right off of the bat, I could tell it was about me still slightly being hung up on James. Ev told me this a million times even when I'd just met him.

And you can tell me if I'm off
But I see it on your face
When you say that he's the one that you want
And you're spending all your time
In this wrong situation
And anytime you want it to stop

True.

I know I can treat you better than he can

My heart skipped a beat. The fact that Everett wrote or even thought about that somehow meant so much to me.

And any girl like you deserves a gentleman
Tell me why are we wasting time
On all your wasted crying
When you should be with me instead
I know I can treat you better
Better than he can

Oh my gosh. I replayed that part over and over again with the biggest smile on my face, there were absolutely no words to describe what I was feeling, but I was feeling great.

I'll stop time for you
The second you say you'd like me to
I just wanna give you the loving that you're missing
Baby, just to wake up with you
Would be everything I need and this could be so different
Tell me what you want to do

Yes, please yes. I still couldn't believe that he wrote this, but then again look what I wrote him.

'Cause I know I can treat you better than he can
And any girl like you deserves a gentleman
Tell me why are we wasting time
On all your wasted crying
When you should be with me instead
I know I can treat you better
Better than he can

Better than he can

Give me a sign
Take my hand, we'll be fine
Promise I won't let you down
Just know that you don't
Have to do this alone
Promise I'll never let you down

I was still speechless.

'Cause I know I can treat you better than he can
And any girl like you deserves a gentleman
Tell me why are we wasting time
On all your wasted crying
When you should be with me instead
I know I can treat you better
Better than he can

Better than he can

Better than he can

Overall, he wrote a perfect response to my breakup song about wanting my ex-dead.

I listened to his song three times and I began to think about Everett and me.

Maybe the possibility of Everett and I as a couple wasn't that far off considering this song.

A part of me wanted a romantic relationship with him, but the other part of me didn't want to mess up our new found friendship.

But I knew how I felt about it and how he called me babe.

I just couldn't mess up a perfectly good friendship no matter how bad I just wanted him.
