Apologies And Truths (Callie&Matt)

"A few," Callie said.

"Alex and I write together."

Matt nodded.

"Can I hear them?" Matt asked.

Callie turned in her notebook before she found the song she wanted. SHe slowly began to play as she sang softly.

I am outside
And I've been waiting for the sun
With my wide eyes
I've seen worlds that don't belong
My mouth is dry with words I cannot verbalize
Tell me why we live like this

Keep me safe inside
Your arms like towers
Tower over me

Yeah
'Cause we are broken
What must we do to restore
Our innocence
And oh, the promise we adored
Give us life again
'Cause we just wanna be whole

Lock the doors
Cause I'd like to capture this voice
It came to me tonight
So everyone will have a choice
And under red lights
I'll show myself it wasn't forged
We're at war
We live like this

Keep me safe inside
Your arms like towers
Tower over me

'Cause we are broken
What must we do to restore
Our innocence
And oh, the promise we adored
Give us life again
'Cause we just wanna be whole

Tower over me
Tower over me

And I'll take the truth at any cost

'Cause we are broken
What must we do to restore
Our innocence
And oh, the promise we adored
Give us life again
'Cause we just wanna be whole

"That's great." Matt said with a small smile.

Callie smiled.

"Thank you," she said.

"Alex and I are working on something new now," she said.

"That's cool, have you started on it?" Matt asked.

Callie nodded.

"Yeah, we have," she said.

"Can I listen to it?" Matt asked.

"I guess so," Callie said softly.

She then started to play again.

Is this the moment where I look you in the eye?
Forgive my broken promise that you'll never see me cry
And everything, it will surely change
Even if I tell you I won't go away today

Will you think that you're all alone
When no one's there to hold your hand?
When all you know seems so far away
And everything is temporary, rest your head
I'm permanent

"That's all we've got so far," she said.

"It's good." Matt said.

"Thank you," Callie said.

"I wish I could say I was responsible for the lyrics, but that's all Alex, the next verse is up to me,"

Matt nodded.

"Cool." Matt said.

Callie nodded.

"It's just not coming to me," she said.

Matt shrugged.

"I'm hungry. Want to order a pizza?" Matt asked.

"Sure," Callie said.

Matt walked out of the room then grabbed a phone and ordered pizza.

Callie sat ack, playing the first verse over again.

Then it hit her

Is this the moment where I look you in the eye?
Forgive my broken promise that you'll never see me cry
And everything, it will surely change
Even if I tell you I won't go away today

Will you think that you're all alone
When no one's there to hold your hand?
When all you know seems so far away
And everything is temporary, rest your head
I'm permanent

I know he's living in hell every single day
And so I ask, oh God is there some way for me to take his place?
And when they say it's all touch and go
I wish I could make it go away but still you say

Will you think that you're all alone
When no one's there to hold your hand?
When all you know seems so far away
And everything is temporary, rest your head
I'm permanent, I'm permanent

Is this the moment where I look you in the eye?
Forgive my promise that you'll never see me cry

"Okay, thank you." Matt said before he hung up.

"Yes!" Callie cheered as she danced around her room, proud of herself.

Matt heard Callie then turned and walked into her bedroom.

"What are you doing?" Matt asked.

"I Finished it!" She said, still dancing.

"Awesome." Matt said with a smile.

"You wanna hear it now?" she asked.

"Sure." Matt said.

Callie started to play again.

Is this the moment where I look you in the eye?
Forgive my broken promise that you'll never see me cry
And everything, it will surely change
Even if I tell you I won't go away today

I'm permanent, I'm permanent

Forgive my promise that you'll never see me cry

Her second verse came from Alex, she wished almost daily that she could stop his dad from beaeting him and Bailey.
