Paper Heart Page #9

I know what's kind of happening here.

This is about your breakup.

And you're freaking out.

- You're stressed out.

- No, this has nothing to do with Mike.

- I'm not sad about Mike.

- Okay, I know that you're sad

about Mike, Charlyne.

And I just need you to do this once

and just really help me

finish this.

And we're both gonna be so happy.

I promise you.

I'm not sad about Mike.

I'm not sad about anything.

I'm just sad

that he wants me to love him

and I can't.

I can't.

I can't just lie and pretend I love him.

All right.

You want to go back to the hotel?

Let's go back to the hotel.

I think we're good.

Hey, Chuck.

What's going on?

I just woke up.

How did you sleep?

Are you okay?

Eh, so-so.

So-so? Yeah, me too.

Sorry if I was mean

to you yesterday.

I apologize.

It's okay.

It's not your fault.

I'm just really overwhelmed

right now.

Yeah, I hear you.

Everything okay?

I don't know.

I mean, I know I'm not in love right now,

but that doesn't mean

I'll never fall in love.

I just know that I don't want

to lose Michael.

We should probably get going.

All right, it's coming up.

Yeah, this is it.

Okay, are you ready?

Watch out. It's slippery.

Well, we're here.

This is it.

Okay.

Good luck, amiga.

Don't slip.

Hey. Hey.

Hi, Mike.

- Hey. How is it going?

- Hey.

It's going okay.

How are you doing?

I'm pretty good.

Are you busy?

No, just hanging out.

What are you doing?

Just hanging out.

Yeah.

So you guys are in Brampton?

Yeah. It's kind of cold.

- Yeah.

- Yeah.

You want to come inside?

It's warmer.

Okay.

Um, you guys should probably

stay out here.

You want us to stay out here?

Okay. Cool.

Okay.

- You want to take off your shoes?

- Yeah.

How long are you

gonna be in Brampton?

Just today.

Charlyne's mike's still on, Nick,

if you want me to keep rolling.

- I can hear both of them.

- You want a warm drink?

Um, I really missed you.

Yeah. Me too.

She just told Mike

she missed him.

Cut the tape, Jay.

There I was,

on the road again.

I was holding tight

to my motorcycle

and Michael was holding tight

to my muscles.

This wasn't the end

of our journey.

We still had a long long way

back to sunny California,

just me and my man.

And being the wild horse

that I was,

I couldn't help but drive

really fast...

so fast, in fact...

That the cops began to chase us.

I didn't know what to do,

but I knew I couldn't have

let them stop me.

I'd come too far.

I zigzagged,

spelled my name in cursive,

I went up on one wheel,

then I went up on no wheels...

nothing.

Bullets whizzed by

on both sides.

I turned to Michael and said,

"If you want to turn back now, baby,

I'll understand.

You've gotten yourself involved

with a very dangerous broad."

"No, I don't want to turn back now.

I kind of like danger."

Perfect.

They fired off one last shot

and this time

it didn't miss.

With fire behind me,

I got up,

bruised and battered

from the horrible crash.

The cops pointed their guns at me.

I looked at Michael.

He was hurt. He was hurt bad.

The captain yelled

through his megaphone,

threatening to shoot,

but I didn't care.

And I told them that too.

I told them,

"I don't care!

Life is too short to be wondering what if!

Sometimes you just gotta live

and see what happens,

even if you get hurt.

Sometimes you can only feel something

if you take a risk.

And I, Charlyne Yi,

am taking that risk.

Arghh-hh-hh!"

And with that,

the captain took off his sunglasses

to reveal a single tear.

I looked around

and all the cops were crying.

The captain looked at me and said,

"Go on, get the hell out of here,

you crazy kid."

And so I threw Michael

over my shoulder

and walked off into the distance,

never looking back.

And, um, that's pretty much

what happened. Right?

Yeah, that's exactly

what happened.

# What's that smell

I smell on you? #

# Is it magic perfume? #

# 'Cause I swearto God #

# You smell just like Christmas #

# To me #

# Yeah, well, you #

# Are my Christmas tree #

# You mean everything to me #

# You mean everything

to me #

# And you #

# Are my shooting star #

# If you shoot me

in my heart #

# Then I'll fall apart #

# You lift me up

when I'm down #

# Ooh ooh ooh #

# You pick me up

off the ground #

# Ahh ahh ahh #

# And I don't know

if it's such a good idea #

# 'Cause you're way down now #

# And I'm way up here #

# Yeah, you have

really long arms #

# So why don't you use them

to hold me tight? #

Thank you very much.
