That's The Girl.

*Drake's POV* All day all I could think about what that girl in the hall way. Her eyes, they were this bright blue, and her smile made it feel like no one else was in the school. I tried to turn on the charm, but it obviously had no affect, she wasn't interested, which only made me interested even more. However, I did meet a few new guys in my study hall today. One was a junior and the other was a senior, they were brothers. We spent the period talking about football and I had some how convinced them to try out for the team after school. Blake and Micha basically rocked everyone that got in their way, it was incredible. But the whole practice, all I could think about was that girl. Micha and Blake had invited Cooper, Jordan, and I over to hang out since their parents would be gone for the night, their sister would be the only one home. We decided to go after the announcements were made on who was on the team and who was cut. All five of us made it. After driving for about twenty minutes we pulled up to a big farm house, I was honestly quite impressed. This house was gorgeous! When we opened the doors to get out of the truck the only thing we could hear was extremely loud music! Thank god we were in the middle of no where! Blake and Micha just looked at each other "Well, at least we know she got home ok." Micha said. "Yeah, we also know that she had a good day." Blake replied. "You guys can come in, she'll turn it down." They both said. We walked in to the house, which looked even better on the inside then it did the outside, to see a small girl laying on the couch on her phone bopping her head to what sounded like some watered down rock. Micha grabbed a remote off the back of the couch she was on and the music went silent. The girl stood up and looked at her brothers. "You must be asking for a death wish." "And you must be asking to go deaf by the time your 25. Go upstairs" Blake said to the girl. "We brought friends, we get the down stairs." "Listen, big brother. If I cared about who you brought home, you'd know." Then she looked toward us, and my jaw dropped. That's the girl! "Micha, what's he doing here?" She said pointing at me. "That, my darling twin, is Drake. We all tried out for football." "Yeah, well like I said earlier, I hope Drake learns to tackle from the left side, or your teams completely screwed." "Wait, he's the guy from the hall way?" Then Blake stepped in. "Wait a second, what happened in the hall way?" She got a nervous look on her face, so did Micha. "Nothing Blake, I'll go upstairs." She trailed up the stairs. "OK, someone tell me what happened in the hall." Micha looked at me as if he were saying 'Just don't say a word.' But I was never one to listen to directions. "This morning, Jordan and I were throwing the football in the hallway. Jordan threw it too far, and I went to catch it and wiped your sister out.. Now I know how she knows so much about football though." I said looking at Blake. "Now come on, was that honestly what you guys didn't want to tell me?" He replied. "Blake, when it comes to Myra, you tend to, be, extremely over protective." Micha said. "That's not true. I know Myra isn't the type of girl to sit and let someone push her around. I guess you learned that today Drake." He laughed. Which yeah, I did. But something about this girl peaked my interests, so that won't be the only thing I'm learning. About twenty minutes of joking and playing around went by and the doorbell went off. Myra came running down the stairs and opened the door. When she closed the door she had 4 pizza boxes in her hands. She stared at us and simply said "What?" "You didn't have to do that." Blake said. "Uhm, do what? These are for me." We all just stared at her. "Guys, I'm kidding. I ate before you all got here." She then set the pizza down and walked back upstairs. As we're eating, we heard acoustic music and a girl singing from up the stairs, which I'm assuming is Myra. It was actually really good. But then we noticed Blake and Micha slowly look at each other. "It's the song. She didn't have a good day." Micha said. "I'll go." Blake replied. "Guys, I'll be right back" and he went up stairs. About 10 minutes goes by and Cooper decided to break the silence. "So, what's the deal with your sister man?" He says to Micha. The only thing going through my head is 'Thank you Cooper'. "Well, obviously we're twins. She's really in to sports, animals, theater, reading, she's a movie freak and music buff. But Blake was right, she's not necessarily someone who stands for being pushed around, but honestly, Myra's really broken. My mom says that's part of the reason we moved here." "What do you mean, broken?" I asked him. "It's a complicated situation, she's a complicated person. I really can't blame her for being the way she is." The rest of the night we just chilled, played video games, and Micha and Blake told us about their lives in Minnesota. It kind of made me jealous hearing all their stories about these huge parties, how they spent their summers, how their parties weren't parties unless Myra's music was involved. But the only thing I could really think about was Myra. *Myra's POV* All in all I guess you could say I had a pretty good day. But, it didn't feel right. I missed my friends. I missed my old room. I missed my old school. The one thing I didn't miss however, was having to look over my shoulder every time I left my house. (Thank you Dakota) After thinking about all this, all I wanted to do was sit on my bed and just play my guitar. So I grabbed it and played the first song that came to mind. We used to have it all, It was us against the world, but now. I've been sleeping on my own, Spending all these nights alone, Knowing you're not coming home. Cause you're running through my dreams, It's like you're on repeat. Feels like eternity, And I can't believe. I let you in, you left me out, You left me on my own, you left me all alone. I let you in, you bled me out, You left me skin and bone, you left me all alone. You left me all alone. I would've gave it all, Truth be told, I can't believe you're gone. Like a dream I can't recall Now I gotta face the fact that you're never coming back. Cause you're running through my dreams It's like you're on repeat. Feels like eternity, And I can't believe. I let you in, you left me out, You left me on my own, you left me all alone. I let you in, you bled me out, You left me skin and bone, you left me all alone. You used to run, run through my veins, And to be honest, I know I'll never be the same. I let you in, you left me out, You left me on my own, you left me all alone. You left me all alone. I see you in my dreams, I can't believe you're gone. When it's too dark to see, I'll leave the light on, I'll leave the light on, I'll leave the light on, When it's too dark to see. I let you in, you left me out, You left me on my own, you left me all alone. I let you in, you bled me out, You left me skin and bone, you left me all alone. You used to run, run through my veins, And to be honest, I know I'll never be the same. I let you in, you left me out, You left me on my own, you left me all alone. "And to think, Mic and I actually thought you had a good day." I turned around and Blake was standing in my door way. "I did have a good day." "My, don't know you think I know by now when your not ok? You play the same I prevail song when you have a bad day. So what's up?" There's no point in lying. "I miss home is all. Nate called me and told me about what happened on their first day and now I just miss my best friend." Nate and I have been best friends since we were 4 years old. Basically inseparable. He however, along with Blake, knows nothing about what happened with Dakota. And they never will. "Maybe on our next long weekend, I'll convince mom to let us go to Minnesota for the weekend. I'm missing it too. But, this is home now. It's a good home, with good people. Plus, the local college is known for their performing arts and theater programs. Maybe you could-" "Don't go there Blake." "Myra, don't say you don't sing or play anymore. We just heard you, and you're still great." "I play for myself. I have to have something just for me." "Don't let your break up with Dakota ruin your future." It's was quiet for a while.. "Why didn't you want me to know what happened with Drake in the hall today?" He asked me. "In all honesty Blake, you're a wee bit over protective. and when I say a wee bit, I mean extremely." "Myra, you can stand up for yourself. You've never let anyone push you around. Why start now?" (If you only knew) "Blake, I think I'm just gonna go to bed." "Fine, but just a word of advice, it's OK to let yourself like someone again." "Most important rule, NO boys." "My, your rules are stupid. Goodnight, we'll be down stairs." What Blake says always seems to get to me. How do you get over someone you were madly in love with for 3 years? Answer; you don't. Getting over your first love is bullshit. People say you do, they do, blah blah blah. But you don't. You could be married for 10 years to the love of your life, and one day, you'll start crying out of no where because the fact of the matter is, it still hurts. It sucks thinking you weren't enough for someone, but in all reality, you were just to much of a woman for them to handle. You'll cry, and some days it'll just start bothering you to the point where you don't wanna eat, or get out of bed. Even if you're in the healthiest relationship, it'll happen. Because it f*****g hurts, and it always will. I however, am not ready for another relationship, nor do I want one. But I know for a fact that Micha and Blake are not going to let it go. I laid there for a couple hours, listening to music until I fell asleep. But for some reason, the only thing I could think of until I hit the point of dozing off, was the cute boy who ran over me in the hall way today. Who I now know, as Drake.
