Hey there peoples!
Well much like the story that it's preceded by this story came to me in my sleep last night and I had 2 write it down.
Don't worry u don't have to read "In Memory Of" to get this story ;)
Hope u like!
P.S. I DO NOT own the song "Never Grow Up" which was by Taylor Swift.
"Never Grow Up"
"Well Andre, this is it. Just one more song, you just need one more song to complete the album. Now think, what would be a good closing song…"
Andre Harris thought this to himself as he sat at his desk, guitar in lap, pencil in hand, and paper on table.
Andre was almost complete with writing the songs for his new album, he just needed to write one more song, and then record all the songs-twelve in total- and then he would be done.
Sure he had a lot of work ahead of him, but the hardest part was almost done.
Andre sighed, trying to think.
"Daddy!" he heard a voice cry.
He turned around and saw his and Tori's daughter, Leah, standing in the doorway.
"Hey there, baby," Andre smiled.
"Can you play with me?" the little three year old asks "Mommy's busy studying the script for her new movie so she can't play with me."
"Of course!" Andre got up and went toward his daughter.
He picked her up and started tickling her and kissing her forehead.
Leah laughed.
If you ask Andre what the most important things in his life are, he would say Tori and Leah.
Nothing mattered to him more than his two ladies.
He had never believed it when people said that children grew fast until he was a father himself.
And boy were they sure right!
So Andre cherished every time his daughter would ask him to play with her.
Even though her third birthday was three months ago, he was still having a hard time grasping that she was three.
Seems like yesterday that he was sitting in a rocking chair in Leah's room, bottle feeding her, and looking into her beautiful brown eyes while she in turn would be looking into his eyes, smiling, as she had one of her tiny hands wrapped around his finger.
He would give anything to have that moment last forever.
Nowadays, Leah was way past the bottle feeding, but Andre still cherished all the little moments he had with her.
Like how every night, when he would read her a story before tucking her in; Andre would never get to finish the story however cause Leah would always fall asleep half way through.
But that never bothered him cause it always made him laugh.
And then after she felt asleep, he'd tuck her in, kiss her forehead, turn on the light night she had in her room, turn off the lights, and leave.
Moments like that he would always remember.
Leah, he was pretty sure, wouldn't.
Just like any other three year old her age, she wanted to grow up.
She would always be talking about what she wanted her future to be; she wanted to be "An actress like Mommy, and a singer like Daddy."
She would just go on and on and on about how she wanted to be famous.
When she would finally finish, Tori would laugh and say:
"That's wonderful honey! But how about you just focus on being a kid right now."
Andre could not agree more; the thought of his little girl growing up, broke his heart.
/
It was late in the night when Andre returned to his office.
He had just put Leah to bed.
Normally he would leave after tucking her in, but tonight he stayed a little longer.
He spent a few minutes just watching her sleep, and thinking how he would give anything for this little girl to remain so innocent and sweet.
And as he picked her up and rocked her, he got an idea for a song.
He then gently put her back down and tucked her in again and ran to his office.
"A song for my little girl, I love it!" he thought as he began to write.
And this is what he came up with:
Your little hand's wrapped around my finger
And it's so quiet in the world tonight
Your little eyelids flutter cause you're dreaming
So I tuck you in, turn on your favorite night light
To you everything's funny, you got nothing to regret
I'd give all I have, honey
If you could stay like that
Oh darling, don't you ever grow up
Don't you ever grow up, just stay this little
Oh darling, don't you ever grow up
Don't you ever grow up, it could stay this simple
I won't let nobody hurt you, won't let no one break your heart
And no one will desert you
Just try to never grow up, never grow up
You're in the car on the way to the movies
And you're mortified your mom's dropping you off
At 14 there's just so much you can't do
And you can't wait to move out someday and call your own shots
But don't make her drop you off around the block
Remember that she's getting older too
And don't lose the way that you dance around in your pj's getting ready for school
Oh darling, don't you ever grow up
Don't you ever grow up, just stay this little
Oh darling, don't you ever grow up
Don't you ever grow up, it could stay this simple
No one's ever burned you, nothing's ever left you scarred
And even though you want to, just try to never grow up
Take pictures in your mind of your childhood room
Memorize what it sounded like when your dad gets home
Remember the footsteps, remember the words said
I just realized everything I have is someday gonna be gone
So here I am in my new apartment
In a big city, they just dropped me off
It's so much colder that I thought it would be
So I tuck myself in and turn my night light on
Wish I'd never grown up
I wish I'd never grown up
Oh I don't wanna grow up, wish I'd never grown up
I could still be little
Oh I don't wanna grow up, wish I'd never grown up
It could still be simple
Oh darling, don't you ever grow up
Don't you ever grow up, just stay this little
Oh darling, don't you ever grow up
Don't you ever grow up, it could stay this simple
Won't let nobody hurt you
Won't let no one break your heart
And even though you want to, please try to never grow up
Oh, don't you ever grow up
Oh, never grow up, just never grow up

He calls this song "Leah's Song."
The end.
