We Don't Sleep

9~Zoe~

At 2:34 I got a phone call from Cynthia, saying to come home immediately. I was annoyed. Connor probably did something stupid and now I had to leave the mall early for something that wasn't even my fault.

When I got home at 2:57 I noticed immediately Cynthia's red and puffy eyes. I barely understood her words.

"Found...Connor...park...tree...concussion...broken leg..."

I went up to my bedroom in silence. Still trying to decipher what Cynthia had said. My eyes landed on the papers plastered on my green wall. It was a drawing of me and Connor outside by the pool, smiling. The photo was broken up into six rectangles, which came together to make one beautiful drawing. I cried.

I don't know how long I cried for, but at some point Larry came up to my room, asking if I wanted to go see Connor. I shook my head, and they left.

As soon as I heard the door click shut, I got to work, grabbing my guitar.

You never seemed to like me

I thought it was something that I said or something that I did

But I think I was wrong

Oh I was so wrong

I see that the boy I knew

Really does love me

In the bedroom down the hall

In the bedroom down the hall

You shared your ninja turtle night light for my protection

You used to say

They kept the bad guys far away

Remember

In the bedroom down the hall

Mom surprised you with that comic book collection

Next Halloween

You scared me dressed as Wolverine

Remember

And the glow stars on the ceiling we would count instead of sleep

You always knew which song to sing to get me right to sleep

Anything

To make me happy

Anything

At all

Anything for your girl in the bedroom down the ha-

I froze when I heard the door open. Sighing, I put my guitar away.

What did you think? I changed the lyrics to In The Bedroom Down The Hall to fit Zoe and Connor's relationship. Don't worry! The song will be completed!
