It's True, I Can't Live Without You
Oh, I Like You Hangin' Around
Before I knew it, it was Monday morning, the day I was dreading. I’ll admit, I was scared shitless about seeing Aaron again. Putting on the best fake smile I could muster up, I strode into the school. Everyone was looking at me. I knew it would be bad, but not this bad. So after getting my books out of my locker, I headed to my first hour. And of course, it was the one with Aaron. Walking to my assigned seat, I sighed in relief, Aaron wasn’t in here yet. I was silently begging that he would stay home sick or skip, but I guess that didn’t get me anywhere. Right when the bell rang, he walked into the door. I thought that maybe he would at least come up and apologize, or at least look at me, but that didn’t happen either. He just went to his seat, not even a glance. Wow, what a douche bag. After the hour was over, I walked to my locker, and Nick was waiting there for me.
“Hey Char, how was first hour? Did he say anything?” He questioned
“No, nothing at all! Nick, he is a douche bag” I said, and he snorted.
“You think I didn’t know that already?” I laughed, and he walked me to my next class. Before I knew it, the week was over and Nick was by my side the whole time. I could officially call him my best friend. After all, there was no one else. They all just wanted me for my popularity. Figures. But I was so happy to have him there. He was my support system. I felt like I could do anything with him around. The weeks flew by and soon enough, it was the week of Nick’s 17 birthday. I was planning a surprise party with the help of Denise and his brothers. It was going to be a blast.
**Day of the party**
Everyone from the Jonas family and my mom were running around, trying to get everything in its place before Nick got home. My mom finally met the whole Jonas family, and she and Denise became best friends. Everything was finally in its place, and it looked amazing. I had gotten a great band, and I would even be singing a song of my own. We heard a car pull in, and Denise went to get him and bring him into the back yard while everyone else hid behind random objects. He walked through the door and everyone jumped out. “Surprise!” he jumped about three feet into the air and everyone started laughing hysterically. He smiled and everyone started to mingle. He finally got to me.
“Charlotte, did you do all of this for me?” he asked, smiling that rare smile when his teeth show.
“Well yeah, but your family helped” I said, smiling wide.
“Thanks” he said, pulling me into a hug. Just then, the lead singer from the band stepped up to the microphone. “Hello everybody, I just wanted to say Happy 17th Birthday Nick, hope it’s a good one.” And started singing
They're on you like a tattoo
They're watching every move that you make
Your blue eyes were white lies
I thought you were mine for the taking
You punched my lights out
Now you're free to be the lonely life of the party
Girl you'll see
Lets get one thing straight
You're gonna regret you left me
Never should have told you that I fell in love
cos you turned me right around and threw me down
and now i can't get up
You'll be sorry just you wait and see
But lets get one thing straight
You're gonna regret you left me
You puzzle like a jigsaw
You love me now we don't fit together
I used up my last shot/straw
I thought i would drink you forever
But now you're my last call
Now you're free to be the lonely life of the party
Girl you'll see
Lets get one thing straight
You're gonna regret you left me
Never should have told you that I fell in love
cos you turned me right around and threw me down
and now i can't get up
You'll be sorry just you wait and see
But lets get one thing straight
You're gonna regret you left me
I know why you set the trap
I know why you dress in black
Flaws in your act tonight?
I know how you beat the wrap?
Someday you'll be crawling back
Crawling, you'll be crawling back to me
Never should have told you that I fell in love
cos you turned me right around and threw me down
and now i can't get up
You'll be sorry just you wait and see
But lets get one thing straight
Never should have told you that I fell in love
cos you turned me right around and threw me down
and now i can't get up
You'll be sorry just you wait and see
But lets get one thing straight
You're gonna regret you left me
Never should have told you that I fell in love
cos you turned me right around and threw me down
and now i can't get up
You'll be sorry just you wait and see
But lets get one thing straight
You're gonna regret you left me
After a few more songs, they said their thanks and started packing up, while I jumped onto the stage. I love singing, and everyone tells me I am amazing at it. Nick had never heard me, and I was really nervous. I stepped up to the microphone, and started singing, all eyes on me.
Liftin' me up, me up, me up, me up.
Liftin' me up, me up, me up, me up...
When I'm down on my luck and I'm searching for my soul
When I'm feeling too much and I start to lose control
When I'm down so low that even enemies don't wanna know
You still care for me, say a prayer for me, and I know
Oooh, I like you hangin' around
'Cause you lift me up when I am upside down
Oooh, you are my favorite sound
'Cause you're always down for
Lifting me up like an angel when I hit the ground
Feel your arms all around me when I'm feeling down
Lift me up like an angel when I hit my low
When your arms are around me
I don't wanna let you go
When I'm lost along the way and I can't face another day
And if I stumble on the road and if I can't carry the load
And if I lose my faith, and kindness, and generosity
Would you hold my hand?
Say you understand my pain
Oooh, I like you hangin' around
'Cause you lift me up when I am upside down
Oooh, you are my favorite sound
'Cause you're always down for
Lifting me up like an angel when I hit the ground
Feel your arms all around me when I'm feeling down
Lift me up like an angel when I hit my low
When your arms are around me
I don't wanna let you go
It's been a long hard road, and it's only just begun, my friend
And this I know
You helped me carry the load
'Cause you're always down for
Lifting me up like an angel when I hit the ground
Feel your arms all around me when I'm feeling down
Lift me up like an angel when I hit my low
Well, you're always around
You're my favourite sound
Lift me up like an angel when I hit the ground
Feel your arms all around me when I'm feeling down
Lift me up like an angel when I hit my low
When your arms are around me
I don't wanna let you go
I don't wanna let you go
'Cause you lift me up now
Well, you're always around..
You're my favorite sound
Lift me up now
You lift me up
Lift me up now
Yeah, you're always around
You're my favourite sound
Lift me up
After the last chords ended, everyone started clapping loudly. I smiled and thanked them, and hopped off the stage. Everyone was complimenting me, but the opinion I wanted most was Nick’s. I finally reached him, and waited for an answer.
“Charlotte, that was…amazing. You are amazing. I didn’t know you could sing.” He said, pulling me into a hug and holding me. Once again, butterflies spread through me, and I just shook it off. Enjoying the feeling, I breathed in his scent. Who knew that someone could smell so good? It was almost intoxicating. Pulling away, I looked into those deep brown eyes, and something pulled me in. We both leaned in closer, and our faces were centimeters apart.
“Wow Charlotte, you were amazing!” Joe exclaimed, lifting me up and spinning me around. Way to ruin a moment, Joe. I said a quiet thanks, and he put me back down to go get more cake. I turned back to Nick, but he was gone. Disappointment fled through me. What was going on?
“Hey Char, how was first hour? Did he say anything?” He questioned
“No, nothing at all! Nick, he is a douche bag” I said, and he snorted.
