Car jams and guitar songs

DO NOT PLAY THE SONG YET!

I look at Dylan with wide eyes. What did I just do? I slowly pick up my skateboard and ride down the street back to my house. Once I get into my room, I quickly shut the door and slide down it. Why did I punch Dylan? I mean, he deserved it, but why? School tomorrow is going to be a nightmare. Tears slide down my cheeks as I bring my knees up to my chest.

I hear a knock on my window and I look up wiping away my tears. Caleb climbs though the window and sits beside me. Without saying anything I embrace him. "I'm so sorry!" I wipe away my tears and look up at him. His face has bruises and so does his arms.

"Caleb, what happened?" I slowly ask him examining his arms. "I sort of got into a fight with Dylan after you left. He has no right to do that to you." His hands clench from the memory but I take his hands in mine and squeeze them reassuring him. "You didn't need to do that. You could've just left. I don't want you to get in trouble because of me. It's all my fault."

I put my head in my hands as I sob silently. He takes my hand and notices bruises all over my arm. "This is why I had to do something. I promised my parents that I wouldn't let anyone come in harm if I saw someone getting hurt. He beat you up pretty bad and I couldn't just watch him do that to you."

Without saying another word, I give him a huge hug. "Thank you." I whisper into his ears repeatedly.

"It's getting late Dani, I should go. Please take care of yourself." I nod and open the window for him to climb out.

I drop into my bed and shut my eyes. Flashbacks flow through my mind like crazy. Tomorrow is going to be hell.

••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

"Are you sure you're ready?" Caleb asks as we pull up at the school driveway. I give him a reassuring smile and then climb out. I walk to my first period class with Caleb. The word got out that I punched Dylan. Some came up to congratulate me but most just gave me dirty looks.

As I made it to class, everyone went dead silent. Dylan was in this class as well. He had an eyepatch on his eye and a couple other bruises. "Look who decided to show up!" A crowd gathers around Caleb and I. "Just leave her alone." He spats at Dylan but he just laughs.

"What do you see in her anyway. She's a useless bitch who tries to act all tough. She can't do anything." Everyone laughs at his comment. "You want me to remind you about who's tough?!" I take a swing at Dylan but Caleb holds me back. "I told you we shouldn't have come to school today." Caleb whispers. I'm not letting Dylan win.

"They're not dating. I'm dating him." A random girl from the back calls. What is she talking about? Caleb doesn't even have a girlfriend. "Wait, you guys aren't dating? Finally, you've made one good choice in your life Caleb." I glance over at him and see his hands in fists. "Come on, let's go." I tug on his jacket as a signal to go.

Before I make my way to the exit, I walk back at Dylan and slap him as hard as I could. "That's for calling me a useless bitch." I was about to leave but then I turned around and kicked him where the sun don't shine. "That one was just for fun." I walk out and Caleb smirks at me. "Good girl's getting tough huh." He teases. "Oh please, I could knock him out in my sleep." He chuckles at my comment as we make our way out of the school.

"You wanna grab a bite to eat?" He asks while starting up his car. "Burger King?" I ask and he gives me a high five. "Oh yeah!" We make our way to the drive through and order our food. Once we get our food, we park our car and eat with music playing in the background.

"You play a song." Caleb hands me his phone and I think of a song to play. I find the perfect song and play it. Once the song starts playing Caleb immediately recognizes. "Seriously, A.M. By One Direction." He laughs and turns up the song. We scream out the lyrics and receive weird looks from random people.

"Let's go to the mall!!" I scream and he nods his head. We make our way there while jamming to music. The music is so loud that I can barely hear myself.

Once we arrived at the mall, we walked into a small shop. "Omg, that's a sick record player!" I look at the records they have and spot How The Grinch Stole Christmas. I put in the record and listen to the story. Caleb whines to leave and I roll my eyes.

We have to present our Romeo and Juliet play tomorrow. We made a new twist to the ending that we both turn into frogs. Princess And The Frog vibes no?

We walk outside of the mall and into his car. Once we reach home, we both say our goodbyes and walk into our homes.

As soon as I walk into my house, I see mom with her arms crossed over her chest. "Why were you with Caleb at this hour?" She points at the clock and it's 10:45 pm.

"We're not dating. I was just hanging out with him." I say looking straight at her. "I don't care if you guys date." My mom says which makes my eyes go wide.

"Wait, what?" I say blinking a few times. "You heard me. I don't care if you guys date. I'd encourage it." She says smiling. "Ew mom, we don't like each other and that's just gross. Why would I date him." I say walking up to my room.

I've been waiting for this day for so long and now that's it's here I feel disgusted.

I close my room door and hear a guitar playing and some singing. I open my curtains slowly and spot Caleb playing the guitar. The bad boy plays guitar? I sit at my windowsill and listen to him singing. He sings really well.

He looks up and sees me staring at him. His eyes go wide as he sees me. He looks at his guitar and puts it on his bed. "Who's guitar is this?" He picks it up and starts playing out of tune.

"Caleb that was amazing." I say still in shock. "I didn't know you could play the guitar or sing!" He sighs and smiles. "Please don't tell anyone." I nod my head.

"Why don't you want people to know about your talent. It's amazing." He climbs into my room with his guitar still in his hand. "My bad boy image will shatter in seconds. You can't tell anyone. No one knows besides you." I nod my head.

"You know how to play Little Things on the guitar?" He nods his head and tunes his guitar. "Do you want to hear it?" He asks and I sit down on my bed indicating that I'm ready. He starts to strum his guitar lightly.

PLAY THE SONG!

[Zayn:]

Your hand fits in mine like it's made just for me

But bear this in mind, it was meant to be

And I'm joining up the dots with the freckles on your cheeks

And it all makes sense to me...

[Liam:]

I know you've never loved the crinkles by your eyes when you smile

You've never loved your stomach or your thighs, the dimples in your back at the bottom of your spine

But I'll love them endlessly

[Zayn & Liam:]

I won't let these little things

Slip out of my mouth

But if I do

It's you

Oh it's you

They add up to

I'm in love with you

And all these little things

[Louis:]

You can't go to bed without a cup of tea

And maybe that's the reason that you talk in your sleep

And all those conversations are the secrets that I keep

Though it makes no sense to me

[Harry:]

I know you've never loved the sound of your voice on tape

You never want to know how much you weigh, you still have to squeeze into your jeans

But you're perfect to me

[Harry & Niall:]

I won't let these little things

Slip out of my mouth

But if it's true

It's you

It's you

They add up to

I'm in love with you

And all these little things

[Niall:]

You'll never love yourself half as much as I love you

And you'll never treat yourself right darlin' but I want you to

If I let you know I'm here for you

Maybe you'll love yourself like I love you, oh

[Harry:]

I've just let these little things

Slip out of my mouth

'Cause it's you

Oh it's you

It's you they add up to

And I'm in love with you

And all these little things

[Everyone:]

I won't let these little things

Slip out of my mouth

But if it's true

It's you

It's you

They add up to

I'm in love with you

And all your little things

He stops strumming and tears grow in his eyes for a split second and then they go away. What was that? "Anyways that's one of the songs I know." He puts down his guitar and gets up off my bed.

"Would you sing it to your future girlfriend?" I ask still remembering the tears in his eyes. His movement stops for a second when he hears the word girlfriend.

He scoffs and looks at me with dead eyes. "I don't do girlfriends." He picks up his guitar and climbs into his room without another word.
