They come and go, but they don't know - That you are my beautiful, oh - I try to come closer with you - But they all say we won't make it through

But I'll be there forever - You will see that it's better - All our hopes and our dreams will come true - I will not disappoint you - I will be right there for you - ‘Till the end, the end of time - Please be mine

            Nick heard singing as he walked into his house Thursday afternoon. At first he thought Damen had left the radio playing loudly. That was until he heard the voice mess up a few of the notes. He walked deeper into the house looking for where the singing was coming from.

I'm in and out of love with you - Trying to find if it's really true, na na na na na - How can I prove my love - If they all think I'm not good enough

            Nick walked past a room when he saw Damen sitting on the couch playing his guitar. He stopped in the door way and listened to him quietly.

But I'll be there forever - You will see that it's better - All our hopes and our dreams will come true - I will not disappoint you - I will be right there for you - ‘Till the end, the end of time - Please be mine

Can't stop the rain from falling - Can't stop my heart from calling you - It's calling you - Can't stop the rain from falling (Can't stop the rain) - Can't stop my heart from calling you - It's calling you

            Nick smiled as he watched Damen play. It wasn't because he was really good at it because he wasn't. He sounded okay but not amazing. But Nick could tell that Damen liked it. That's what made it sound good.

But I'll be there forever - You will see that it's better (much better) - All our hopes and our dreams will come true (they'll come true) - I will not disappoint you - I will be right there for you - ‘Till the end, end the of time - Please be mine

            Damen sighed when he was done. Sitting in front of him was one of Nick's dogs. He had no idea what the dog's name was and he didn't care either. The only thing he cared about was that his shoe was in the dog's mouth. He sat the guitar down on the couch and leaned closer to the dog. He reached for his shoe, but just as he was about to touch it the dog ran off.

"Ya damn thing! Get back here with my shoe!" He yelled.

            He heard someone laughing behind him. He turned around and saw Nick in the door way laughing.

"Why are you laughing? It's got my shoe."

"It's a boy." Nick said still laughing.

"Don't care. My shoe is in it's mouth and I want it back."

"You won't get it back for a while."

Damen looked at him, "Then what shoes do I wear?"

"You got another pair?"

"No."

"Oh. Uh.... You can see if any of mine fit. Then you can buy some for yourself tomorrow. That alright?"

"Do I get any other choice?"

"You could go bare foot. Other than that, no not really."

Damen sighed again, "Alright."

            He walked back to the couch and picked the guitar up. After he put the guitar away he left without another word.
