upbeat and catchy. I look forward to singing it on stage.
I guess I expected a love song… But now that I think about it, it was kind of stupid of me to expect that from the two of them.
Ever since the day I met ya, everyone is tellin’ me that I’ve gone mad.
And every time that I see ya, my heart speeds up to 110.
My car never goes under 89. The cops keep tellin’ me I better slow down.
The judge is getting pretty ticked off, because he knows me by name.
I’m so stupid, I’m so stupid. My life’s been crazy since I got hit by Cupid.
I think I lost my head somewhere back there. I know I’ve gone crazy, but I’m okay.
I’m so stupid. Yeah, I’m so stupid.
I was stupid to go out with you. Let’s just say I’m through with guys.
But I got one more thing to say — what’s the name of your friend?
I’m so stupid, I’m so stupid. My life’s been crazy since I got hit by Cupid.
I think I lost my head somewhere back there. I know I’ve gone crazy, but I’m okay.
I’m so stupid. Yeah, I’m so stupid.
“Was Bridgett mad at you when you guys wrote this?” I ask Alec, after we sing through it the first time.
Alec laughs. “Isn’t she always mad at me?”
I think for a moment. “Yeah, I guess she is. What did you do to her that made her so mad?”
“You mean besides breathing? Absolutely nothing.”
“It’s not that bad.”
“Ugh, yeah it is.” He jumps onto the bass amp and sits down. “Seriously, it’s like the harder I try, the more she pushes me away.”
“Do you think it has anything to do with Martin?”
“That asshole who cheated on her with her best friend?”
I nod.
“Maybe,” he says. “She doesn’t really like letting people in. I honestly think it’s a mixture of everything. Her overprotective mom, your dad, and of course the asshole and her whore ex-best friend. She is scared to be hurt again.”
“She doesn’t want to be sick again….” I understand completely both his perspective and hers. “Maybe she thinks that she will become dependent on you. And it’s inevitable to her that you will leave. You’re a huge risk to her.”
“How am I unattainable? I want to be with her so bad sometimes that I can’t stand it.” His voice breaks.
“You’re a rock star, Alec. That’s a fantasy. It’s not real to her. She can’t comprehend why somebody like Alec Torch would want to date her.”
“That’s it?” he asks, almost angrily. “I would give all this up for her. If that is truly what she wanted, I would walk away right now and never look back.”
“You really like her that much?” I ask.
“Yes.”
I think about Stephan, and I completely understand where he is coming from. Even though I know it’s stupid. We are so young. But if he asked me to walk away today and move back to Florida, I would. I would quit the tour. I would quit the documentary. I would stop recording. And I would go home with him. But because he loves me as much as I love him, he doesn’t want that. He wants me to live out my dreams. He knows that I need this. I’ve found him , now it’s time for me to find myself.
“I don’t think Bridgett wants you to give up music for her,” I tell him. “I think she just needs more time. I do think you should give her a little space. Staying the night every night is probably a bit much. She was an only child until about five years ago. Your forward approach doesn’t work with her. Maybe you should try playing hard to get.”
“You’re right. I just want to be around Bridgett all the time.” He shakes his head. “I sound like a clingy, teenage girl. Wow, I am pathetic. But I can’t help it. She drives me mad!”
“I have a feeling that she feels the same way about you,” I tell him. “Until the bridge of the song, I really thought the lyrics were sweet.”
“I know, right? She wrote the bridge,” he says. “I swear, she likes to make me suffer!”
“ Suffer is a strong word… ”
Just then, the studio door
