Four:
‘Then write it...’ Joe words burned in Nick’s mind. Nick was sitting on his windowsill staring out at the moon. He took a deep breath and rest his head on the wall. He fiddled around with the pen in his right hand. He glanced down at the blank notebook. He could do it. Write it all down. All he had to do was set the pen on the paper and his thoughts would escape his mind and decorate the world with their message. He could do it. He had done it before. Why was now so hard? He balled his left fist so hard he gasped from the pain. Nick looked at his now white knuckles and his blood-red palm. He had taken his bandages off; he couldn’t write with them on. After a moment, Nick threw down the pen and paper and got up. He began pacing around the room. He glanced back to the window and stopped. As his ran his hand through his messy curls, something dawned on him.
“She told me she was leaving..” He whispered to himself as he glided over back to his place and sat down. He grabbed the pen and the notebook. “She told me she was leaving..” He repeated, quietly. He shook his head. “You told me...”
Nick bit the end of his pen. Then, with shaky hands he wrote the first lines of his new songs.
“You warned me that you were going to leave....”
As Nick wrote out his heart and soul, he began to experience happiness again. With every word he wrote down, another weight was lifted from his shoulders. Once he started, he didn’t stop. An hour later he was sitting at his keyboard. He placed the lyrics next to a blank music sheet. As he sung quietly under his breath, he played the piano and wrote down the notes. Once he shed a tear, and it dropped on the C key. Nick stared at it as it glistened in the dark room. C. Nick bit his lip. Can’t. He grabbed his lyrics and crossed out some words. He stared at the C key. Can’t. Nick looked around the room. It then hit him. I can’t have her. I just can’t. Slowly, Nick wrote down the name of the song at the top of the page. Nick’s body craved sleep, but he didn’t give in. He yawned, but that didn’t stop him. He got up from the piano, and grabbed his guitar. He quietly strummed some chords and sung under his breath. His voice was still hoarse from earlier, but he didn’t care. As he wrote his song, the world brightened up for him. Even in this dark room, there was light.
Nick finished the words to his creation, the dropped his pen. It landed on the floor with a soft thud. Nick then slowly stood up, grabbed his papers, then made his way to his door.
He found Joe up on the balcony, staring at the night. Nick quietly walked up to his brother and stood behind him. Joe was leaning on the rail with his arms and staring out into the world. Nick took a deep breath. Suddenly he forgot how to move. Wait...one foot...then the other. Left, right. Left, right. Stop...
Nick ended up standing beside his brother. If Joe knew he was there, he certainly wasn’t acting like he did. Nick looked at his feet, then back at Joe.
“Joe?” He asked quietly.
His brother didn’t look at him. He gave a tired sigh. “What is it, Nick?”
Nick bit his lip. He slowly held the lyrics in front of his brother. Joe stared at them for the longest time before taking them off Nick’s hands. “What is it?” He asked, looking at the paper.
“I wrote a song..” Nick replied, all of a sudden feeling like a little child about to the punished.
Joe took a deep breath. He was about to hand it back to Nick, but his little brother’s expression stopped him. Joe forced his eyes to tear away from Nick’s and made them back to the paper. As Joe read, Nick swallowed hard. “I realize now what an idiot I was...” he paused. “I know I shouldn’t have acted the way I did. I know I was–..”
“Did you write music?” Joe cut him off.
“Oh.” Nick let out. He then handed his brother the music. “There...”
Joe took it and began studying. Nick felt like he was back in 3rd grade waiting for his teacher to grade his pop quiz. After for what seemed like forever, Joe finally looked at Nick. “This is a good song.”
Nick stared at his brother. “It-it is?”
Joe looked at the lyrics, then back to Nick. “This is actually an amazing song, Nick. One of your finest.”
Nick felts tears on his eyes. That was the best compliment Joe had ever given him.
“Thank you, Joe.”
Joe gave a smile and pulled his brother into a hug. “You’re welcome.”
“I want you to sing it with me.” Nick said, pulling away.
Joe looked at him. “You sure?”
Nick nodded. “I wrote the beginning for you. I want you to sing it.”
Joe glanced at the part Nick was referring to. His eyes darted across the words. After a moment, he smiled again. “I would love too.”
“Thank you, Joe. And...I’m sorry.”
Joe waved him off. “Don’t worry about it. But..I’m not the..”
“I know.” Nick said, nodding. He looked around. “Where is he?”
“Right here.” Kevin said, walking up. Nick jumped. “You were here the whole time?”
Kevin gave a laugh and pulled his brother into a hug. “Big brothers are always around. Even if his brothers don’t want him.”
Nick hugged Kevin back. “I would never not want you around. I’m sorry, K2.”
Kevin pulled away. “It’s okay.” He glanced over at the papers in Joe hands, then took them from him. “So what is this song called?”
Nick took a deep breath. “ ‘Can’t Have You.’”
Kevin read the lyrics, then the music, then he looked at Nick. “I see theirs a nice guitar part here.”
Nick smiled. “I knew you’d like it.”
The three brothers smiled. All was right again. Nick realized that he had lost a love, but the love of his brothers was far more greater than any love anyone else could give him. And he was okay with that. In fact, he was perfectly okay with it.
And that is how Nick wrote Can't Have You.
(NOT REALLY! I have NO clue how he wrote it. But i got tired of it always being how his ex girlfriends and blah blah blah...so I wrote it this way. I hope you like it.  ) and if you noticed I used parts of the song in the story! like when Joe said "You made quite a scene" hahaha you know? |
