Fallen (Based on Pittacus Lore's "I Am Number Four")

Fallen-GEMMA II

   Did I do something stupid, yeah girl if I blew it

   Just tell me what I did, let’s work through it

  There’s gotta be some way, to get you to want me

   Like before

   “I love you Cheska, as a friend though.” I giggled. Cheska smiled and gave me a bear hug. “I love yah too, Gemma.”

   ‘Cause no one ever looked so good

    In a dress and it hurts, ‘cause I know you won’t be mine tonight

   No one ever makes me feel like you do when you smile

   Baby tell me how to make it right

   Then I not only remembered Cheska, but my other friends as well. But most of all, my family.

   Now all of my friends say it’s not really worth it, but even if that’s true

   No one in the world could stop me from not moving on

   Baby even if I wanted to, nobody compares to you

   Then I knew that it was Louis’s part. I remembered when Cheska would shush all of us down just to listen to his solos. I smiled.

   We’re so Paris, when we kissed, when we kissed

   I remember the taste of your lipstick

   Now you’re tearing up my heart, tearing up my heart

   You’re tearing up my heart

   “Why do we have to go?” I asked Tristan, keeping the music playing. “I mean. Things are going on so fast, it’s already just a blur.”

   “Things are not going on so fast.” he replied. “You just don’t know what’s going on.”

   I look again outside the window. I was so bored and a little hungry, and so I decided to take a nap. Yeah, a good nap will do. I slowly closed my eyes, and not long after, I was snoring.

   “Wake up.... Gemma wake up.” a voice said. I slightly opened my eyes and saw light. “Gemma, we’re here.”

   “Erhhhhhhhhhhhhhmmmm....sorry, five more minutes.” I said groggily. “Wait, let me rephrase that. Five more hours.” I waved my hand in the air, shooing him off. And I wasn’t joking. I closed my eyes again and heard a sigh. Then I heard what sounds like the things at the back being taken. I smile at the thought of him leaving me alone. Then I wait until I drift back to sleep. But it’s no use, I can’t.  I decided to just sit in the car then.

   A few minutes later Tristan came back. “Hey Gemma, we have to go.” he tugged the bottom of my top. I groaned and turned around to the opposite direction. “Gemma!” he said, his voice raised a little bit. I smiled and looked at him.

   “What?” he asked. I raised my two hands at him, like a zombie.

   “Carry me.” I said.

   “What? No way.”

   “Good, then I’ll stay here then.” I said, turning my back at him.
