Princess

23

Carson texted me to be there at 8:00. So to mess with him a bit I didn't show up until 8:30. I knocked on the door and counted. One. Two. Thr- "You came!" Carson breathed as he opened the door. "Of course I came." I smiled.

He lead me up to his room. "Ari, I just want you to know that I regret what I did with everything in me. It breaks my heart to know that I broke yours. And I know this won't even come close to making it up to you, but I figure this is a start." He said, looking straight into my eyes. He reached under the bed and pulled out his guitar. Wait a second. Guitar? "Carson what are you doing you don't play guit-" "Shh." He said simply, cutting me off.

He started strumming a tune that I had never heard before. And then he started singing.

So your friend's been telling me

You've been sleeping with my sweater

And that you can't stop missing me

Bet my friend's been telling you

I'm not doing much better

'Cause I'm missing half of me

I blushed at this. Eric did tell him.

And being here without you is like I'm waking up to

Only half a blue sky

Kinda there but not quite

I'm walking around with just one shoe

I'm half a heart without you

I'm half a man at best,

With half an arrow in my chest

I miss everything we do,

I'm half a heart without you

Forget all we said that night

No, it doesn't even matter

'Cause we both got split in two

If you could spare an hour or so,

We'll go for lunch down by the river

We can really talk it through

And being here without you is like I'm waking up to

Only half a blue sky

Kinda there but not quite

I'm walking around with just one shoe

I'm half a heart without you

I'm half a man at best,

With half an arrow in my chest

'Cause I miss everything we do,

I'm half a heart without you

Half a heart without you,

I'm half a heart without you

Though I try to get you out of my head

The truth is I got lost without you

And since then I've been waking up to

Only half a blue sky (only half a blue sky)

Kinda there but not quite

I'm walking around with just one shoe

I'm half a heart without you

I'm half a man at best (half a man at best)

With half an arrow in my chest

I miss everything we do,

I'm half a heart without you

Without you, without you, half a heart without you

Without you, without you, I'm half a heart without you

"What was that?" I asked with years in my eyes. "That was a song that I wrote for you. Right after he punched me I the face, Eric helped me think of the idea." He told me with a chuckle. "So, I know this doesn't even come close to making it up to you, but will you be my Princess again?" He asked me with hope in his eyes.

I wrapped my arms around him and whispered a yes in his ear. I pulled away and sat there for a moment until I realized something. "Wait did you learn how to play guitar for me?" I asked. He nodded and I started tearing up again. He took me in his arms and we sat there together not saying a word.

"Oh and by the way, cheat on me again and I'll team up with Eric and Clarissa to break you." I mentioned in a semi-serious tone. He laughed and kissed me on the cheek telling me that Eric had already filled him in on everything in that department.
