LOVE SONG

Mia bit her lip.

" are you alright? why didn't you attend school today? "

" not feeling well. "

" really? Are you sick? Is it fever? "

" I don't know. Is it? "

Mia placed her palm on his forehead and she was shocked to find him ice cold.

" you're supposed to be burning "

Lonan sighed as they entered the living room.

" why are you here? " lonan said wearing his cloves

" I came to check on you. Pearl was worried"

" you? "

" me too. How are you Lonan? "

" I don't know how I'm feeling. Can you hug me? "

Mia smiled and immediately hugged him so tight. Lonan winced and she broke the hug.

" why? What's wrong? Did I hurt you? "

" maybe a bit gentle. "

Mia hugged him in a gentle manner, her hands around his neck while his wrapped around her back.

" you like my hugs."

" they make me feel better. "

" what about Pearl, she gives... "

" I know. Don't mention her for now. "

Mia wanted to ask why but she let it go and continued to hug him.

" I should sing for you... "

" you can sing? "

" no... " She chuckled as she broke the hug. She stared at his face and removed the hood, letting his long dark silk hair fall on his face. Mia ruffled it and pushed it to the back.

" you look like a freak "

" you told me that a lot. "

" can you smile? "

" why? "

" you'll look good "

" no. "

Mia scoffed and pulled his ear.

" that doesn't hurt. "

" seriously? "

They both stared at each other until Mia looked away. She held out her notebook to him.

" here, I wrote some notes for you. You don't want to fail senior right? "

Lonan shrugged and took it from her.

" say thank you "

" can you sing? "

" oh right, come here... " She held his gloved hand and pulled him out of the house. The sun had completely left the sky and a few stars were starting to come out.

Mia dragged Lonan to the garden and made her sit on the bench before walking to the rose bushes. She picked one and tucked it in her hair.

" how do I look? "

" the same "

" even with the flower on? "

Lonan nodded and she scoffed.

" anyhow, listen to my song... " She cleared her throat before starting.

" It's you, it's always you.

If I'm ever gonna fall in love I know it's gon' be you.

It's you, it's always you.

Met a lot of people, but nobody feels like you.

So, please, don't break my heart.

Don't tear me apart.

I know how it starts.

Trust me: I've been broken before... "

She turned her gaze only to discover that Lonan has been staring at her.

" so? " Mia smiled looking at lonan

" why did you sing that kind of song? "

" because I want you to tell me how good it is. I'm going to sing it to my crush "

" who's that? "

" you'll know later. How was it? "

" okay. "

" just that? "

" I loved your voice, not the song. "

Mia smiled.

" thanks. Do you feel better now? "

" yes "

" wow, nice. Now give me a smile "

" no. "

Mia hissed.

" you're a freak "

" I know. "

She rolled her eyes.

" Anyhow, I'll have to go. You're coming to school tomorrow right? "

" I am. "

" good. See you. Don't fall sick " Mia ruffled his hair and giggled before running off to her house.

She smiled as she locked the door and went to the fridge. She took out a pack of blackberries and went to her room. She opened the curtain and glanced over at Lonan's garden. He wasn't there. He was at his doorstep, looking over at her.

Mia waved and he did the same before entering the house. Mia closed the curtain and brought out her tablet before laying on the bed.

She dialed Naomi's number and she picked up at the first ring.

"Hey bestie!! "

" hey, mom just left "

"Mine too, wow you're eating blackberries. I have strawberries!"

Mia chuckled.

"I just downloaded Final Destination. Wanna watch ?"

" Naomi! "

"What?... it's amazing"

" have you watched it? "

"No, we'll watch together. Hang on, I'll turn it on."

" no screaming, alright? "

"Pfft...I never screamed when watching a movie"

" of course not " Mia said mockingly and Naomi chuckled.

Soon the movie connected on both their tablets and Naomi grinned.

"Here is it babe. Let's watch!"

Mia shook her head. Her best friend was something else.
