Tonight was turning out to be the best night of my life. Not only had the band played better than ever before, but Hayley loved the song I performed for her. She was still beaming from ear to ear as I drove her home, and it made my chest swell with happiness to know I’d put that smile on her face.

“How on Earth did you know to play Taylor Swift?” she gushed.

I smiled. “I can’t tell you all my secrets.” Not that it was a huge mystery. Her room was just across the fence from mine, and she didn’t exactly keep her the volume low when she was playing music.

“And the way you gave it a rock feel was so cool. I don’t know how you did that.”

“And I don’t know how you do backflips.”

She scoffed. “Backflips are easy. What you did out there tonight was special. Not everyone can learn to do that. You know that, right?”

There was so much sincerity in her voice that my cheeks started to warm. I’d been given plenty of compliments about my music before, but none of them meant more to me than Hayley’s.

“It’s just strumming a few different chords together,” I said.

“Few chords, my ass,” she muttered under her breath. “And how is it that no one at school knows how amazing you guys are?”

I shrugged. “It’s not something I exactly advertise at school.”

She frowned a little in response. “Don’t you want people to know how amazing you are?”

I shook my head and smiled. “All I want is for the people I care about to enjoy what I do.”

A gentle smile pulled at her lips. I wanted to tell Hayley she was one of those people. I wanted to tell her how much this night had meant, that the kiss we had shared was one of the highlights of my life. But, I couldn’t say any of that. I couldn’t tell her the truth when she still liked my brother.

We continued talking about the gig for the rest of the drive home. From the way Hayley kept praising our performance, I feared I was going to have a hard time getting out of the car because my head was getting so big. When I finally pulled in my driveway, she seemed hesitant to get out of the car.

She glanced at her house through the passenger window and let out a sigh. “I should probably get inside.” She didn’t move to leave though, and I hoped it was because she wanted to stay with me a little longer. I wasn’t ready to say good night to her because I never wanted this night to end.

Letting out another long breath, Hayley opened her door. She moved slowly, like it pained her to leave. At least, that’s what I hoped she was feeling. I got out of the car too and met her on the sidewalk. She was twisting her hands together as she looked up at me, and there was a hint of uncertainty in her gaze.
