Unsaid Things
Three: In Dougie's Eyes
I stared down at my shoes as Jeanette and I walked. Married. She was getting married. I felt like I was losing her, and I just got her back. My heart had sunk low in my chest, almost to the point of being in my stomach.
I wanted to tell her not to marry that Billy guy. I wanted to tell her that I still loved her. I wanted to tell her so many things, but I didn't want her to get upset with me.
We walked along in silence for a few minutes, words running through my head...
Now she's got pregnant with her baby
It feels like she's slipping away from me now that
She's getting married I'm in misery 'cause her fiance's
So much bigger than me
'Cause he works out a lot
And there's not much that he ain't got
And right now I'm losing the plot along with her.
Hm.... Thats a good song idea......
"Dougie?" Jeanette's voice broke through my thoughts.
"Hmm?" I looked up from my shoes and over at her. She stopped walking. We had circled half the park.
"I wish you would tell me what's wrong. You look so upset...." She said, a frown pulling down the corners of her lips. I sighed.
"It's nothing, Nette..."
"That's bull and we both know it. " She said. I couldn't help but smile. Same old Jeanette. The same Jeanette I fell in love with when she first moved in just up the road.
We hadn't always lived near each other. No, we met in school. She lived about a half hour walk away. She didn't move in until just after we started dating. That was pretty cool. There was this huge tree in between our houses, and we would always leave each other notes in a hollow that was in the trunk.
This girl that moved just up the road from me
She had the nicest legs I've ever seen and back then
She wrote me letters just t say she loved me
But now her face is just a memory.
Now that 7 years have gone
And 've grown up and she's moved on
But somehow I'm still holding on to her
That would be the beginning. I like how this was turning out. I had a beat in my head and all. Now I need a chorus....
"Dougie!" Jeanette called again. I turned to face her, finding that I had been staring a tree, my feet frozen in place.
"Sorry, I'm just.. Thinking." I said lamely.
"Well, please, talk to me.." She said softly. She wanted me to talk to her. But what could I possibly tell her? There were so many things that I had to get out, but, where to start....
I've got so many unsaid things that I wanna say and
I just can't wait another day I wish she knew I still wait up
Wondering if she will remember me but theres no way for
Me to know.
Well, theres my chorus. Then I just include something I really need to tell her..... I've got it!

And I want her to know
Before she's married and has her baby
That I need her.

Perfect.
"Jeanette!" Billy called. I forced myself not to frown. She looked over in the direction of his voice. "We've got to bring Annie home!" She sighed.
"Well, see you, Dougie." She said. She gave me a hug and a quick kiss on the cheek before running over to the guy and the little girl and leaving. I made my way slowly back to the guys.
"Hey, you alright?" Tom asked.
"Yeah... Fine.. Can we go back? I have something I want you guys to listen to."

Well, heres chapter three. I got sudden inspiration for this. Sorry it jumps around a bit with the song lyrics in the beginning. I am aware that he thought of the song in a different order, which is why I put it in the right order later on. Sorry if this chapter bored you!I'm not sure how much I'll bne updating any of my stories, because I started school. But, I'll try and update as much as possible, including this story!
