D                    A7                     D
Do you love him or is it still too soon to know
                                                 G
When I think back a couple of days
                             A7                                    D
Before I found you in his spell was there a warning?
                   Bm                       G
What can I say, should I look away?
       Em        A           D       A    D    A
It´s still too soon to know

               D               A7                      D
Are you sorry or is it still too soon to know
                                                     G
It didn´t take much to break us in two
                          A7                                       D
For rivers in the way did he came close to touching you
                         Bm                             G
The look in your eyes, I thought I recognised
      Em         A          D
It´s still too soon to know

A      D    A         Bm
Yes it´s still too soon to know
  A         Bm                   A
Will you stay or will you go?
                   Bm         A
It´s still too soon to know

                       D                       G
When I think back a couple of days
                  A7                         D
If I wasn´t happy then I never will be
                      Bm                      G
I wonder was this ignorance or bliss?
       Em        A           D
It´s still too soon to know

Video Still Too Soon To Know

Elvis Costello - "I Hope You're Happy Now" Live
A venomous performance of "I Hope You're Happy Now" with the Attractions in 1984. He's a fine figure of a man and handsome too With his eyes upon the secret places he'd like to undo Still he knows who knows who and where and how And I hope you're happy now He's got all the things you need and some that you will never But you make him sound like frozen food, his love will last forever Still he knows what you want and what you don't allow And I hope you're happy now I hope that you're happy now like you're supposed to be And I know that this will hurt you more than it hurts me He's acting innocent and proud still you know what he's after Like a matador with his pork sword, while we all die of laughter In his turquoise pajamas and motorcycle hat I hope you're happy now because you'll soon put pay to that I knew then what I know now I never loved you anyhow And I hope you're happy now

When there's no Time in the World...Ch. 1
My name is Grace Brown. I don't have very many frineds at school. I suppose all of the guys consider me to be "attractive", but I don't have time for a boyfrined. Not now, not ever. Never had a boyfriend, never kissed a guy, and never wanted to. Not that guys haven't tried, let me tell you... They have. But Coach Beam would never allow it. Coach Beam is my gymnastics coach. He is strict, mean, and unreasonable. But he's the best coach in the United States. And if that's what it takes to get me to the Olympics in two years. Then thats what it takes. It's 2010. I am 16 years old, but all of my friends say that I'm an "Old soul" Ya know, born in the 1994, act like I was born in 1980? Yeah... That's me. My favorite bands are the beetles, Elvis Presley, Elvis Costello. I love em all. All the oldies. Ashely and Jodie make fun of me for it. They are my best friends. Hopefully in 2012, we will all be on the United Sates team together, It's out goal... The chances are pretty much slim to none that we will all make it, but we have wanted it ever since we were 4 years old starting out in summersaults, and handstands. I love these girls to death, and I would do anything for them. When you're an Elite gymnast, it takes some work. Let me tell ya... It takes some work. 6 hours of practice a day, no friends outside of the gym, no boyfriends, no parties, no pigging out, and no taking breaks. It takes sacrifices. Ive broken, dislocated, and spranged 17 bodyparts this year... So far. It happens alot, and you get used to the pain. I know what you're thinking. "Heyyy, maybe if I break a bone today, then I can have a few weeks off!" No. You fight through the pain, and you don't complain. That's how it works around here. Unless you break your back, or your neck, your working a regular schedule. Maybe an hour off depending on the injury. My parents are amazing. They support me 100 percent. I love them to death. Never missed a meet, and never will. They would support me on any decission I made in my gym career. If I wanted to give it all up, and live a normal life, that would be cool. If I wanted to keep going till the end, then that's fine too. They are the best parents in the world, and I wouldn't trade them for anything. So now that you know a little bit about me. Come with me through a portion of my life that I never saw coming. Who know things could change so fast. Not me, that's for sure. It was a journy that's for sure. It was hard, it had it's ups and downs, and it was very emotional. But it all ended up alright in the end. I know you may be confused now, but just listen. Let's start when my life was still normal. It was a Wednesday morning. I heard my alarm beeping as loud as it goes. Thats annoying. I looked over at the clock, and it said 5:00AM. As is did every morning. I quickly got up, put my hair in a tight bun, sprayed it down like hell with hairspray, put on my pink leo, and walked out he door. I didn't have to do much to get ready for gym. No makeup, no jewlery... It would all my killed my the end of practice anyway. Just like my body was. Everysingleday. I walked into the gym and saw Jodie and Ashely stretching out. Of course we would spend 30 minutes stretching out as a team, but it was always good to get a head start. I walked over to join them. "Hey! Long time no see." Jodie said sarcastically. "Yeah! Nearly 12 hours! God, I missed you."I said laughing. I don't know how I would make it through these long hours without my girls. They were everything to me. And I love them. (: Once I was done with practice, I walked to the bus stop and the bus picked me up. I walked to the very bakc and sat in the corner by myself, knowing that I would be joined soon enough. A blonde boy with shaggy hair came up and sat next to me. I have seen him many times before.Tries to make a move all the time. Can't remember his name off the top of my head, too many guys use the same lines to remember. "Heyyy Grace! It's been a while" He said. "Yeah. It has." I said making sure I sounded uninterested. "So, you wanna hang out this Saturday?" He asked, looking uite hopeful. "I'm sorry. I'm busy." I said, not looking at him. "But you're always busy! IF you have a boyfriend you can jsut tell me... I'm a man, I can take it." He said traying to get me to look at him. I looked up at him, my face blank, and uninterested. "I don't have a boyfriend. I'n jsut busy. Okay?" I said looking back down at my knees again. "Whatever." He simply said, and got up and left. I made it through the day of all the disprespectful guys, and some nice ones aswell.. The death glares from their ex girlfriends.. And the test returns, that I wasn't too pleased with. How could I focus on school when I have a gold metal waiting for me in just 2 short years? --------------------------------------------------------------------------- NEW SERIES! LET ME KNOW WHAT YOU THINK!

When There's no Time in the World Ch 12
"Umm. Look at me!" "You look beautiful." The way he said that made me lose my balance. My good leg kind of collapsed beneath me. I was so prepared for the most imbarassing moment of my life, before Nick caught me by the waist. Geez, he's strong! He quickly looked up at my face, and gave me a look that made me think I would do it again. "Are you okay?" He asked, alert clear in his voice. I was so out of breath, I could't even talk. I need to come up with an excuse, so I Won't need to talk. Like.. I lost my voice! What the hell Grace.. just talk. Oh, it went away. "Yeah. I'm fine.." My voice sounded kinda hoarse. God..He thinks I'm a freaker. "You're right. You shouldn't go out today." NO! "NO!" God. Did I just say that out loud? "I mean.. uhm. I want to. I think I need to get out, ya know?" He smiled, like he wanted me to say that. "Definately." Neither of us realized that he was still holding me up by the waist, until i broke his gaze. "Thanks. I'm uhh. Kinda clumsy?" "Haha, it's fine. We all haev our moments." But my moments are like all the time. "Yeah, but my moments are like.. all the time" Oops. I need to stop doing that. Keep things IN your head, Grace, IN your head. He laughed at me, great. I guess the blush was clear in my face, because he noticed. "No, it's a good thing. It makes you you." "Thanks" I smiled at him, and I'm sure it was a little over the top. But.. I didn't care as much anymore. As much as I wanted him to like me, I felt like he already did. I don't know why, he just kept me assured that he felt something for me. Unless he freaks out when everone falls, and comes to their homes to take care of them for hours... I really hope not. I used my crutches to get me to the stares. I looked at Nick. "Could you hold these for me? Please?" "Uh, yeah. How are you going to get down the stares?" I wish he would carry me, but I'm not about to ask for that.. "I jump. Do it all the time. I hurt my leg a lot. Gymnast, remember?" He gave me a frightend look. "J-. Uhh. Ju-s-jst be careful." He does care. I smiled, and held on to the rail as I jumped down. I felt pressure on my side, and around my back. I looked over to Nick holding me against him with his arm around my waist while I jumped. We got to the bottom of the stares, and there was an awkward silence. "I didn't want you to fall. Ya know." He looked imbarassed that he wanted to help, but that was almost as good as carrying me. We passed my mom on the way out. I've completely forgotten about everything except him these past few hours.. "Oh, hey mom. The doctor said it would be good for me to go out. So we're gonna go eat or something" "Alright sweetheart." She smiled at Nick, and walked into the kitchen. I love my parents, because they care about me, and the love me to death. But I have to take care of myself, because I'm never around. So, they trust me, and most parents dont.. Before I could even move to open my door, Nick beat me to it. He opened up my door, took my crutches, and supported me as I got in his car. (i dont remember where she lives. but now, she lives in cali. :p) I was expecting a really awkward car ride. He played me some beetles, and elvis costello. Of course I've heard of them... theyre legends! But I've never exactly listened to them. I don't listen to music much at all. But Nick has gotten me into it in just one car ride. Impressive. He really loves music. I really hope he tells me more about it while we eat or something. Right when we got to the place he was taken me, he stopped the car next to a big black guy, who seemed to be waiting for us. Before we got out of the car, he looked over at me. "This is Rob. He's my bodyguard, and he'll take care of anyone that tries to bother us." Why would anyone try to bother us. He must be really rich to have a bodyguard.. Does he just like being safe? A little wierd...? "Stay there." I nodded, as he got out of the car and went around to open my door. He handed me my crutches, and kept his hand on my lower back as we walked into the restraunt. As soon as I got out of the car I was blinded my lights. What the heck? For a split second I thought there was some sort of fire.. Then I realized there were people taking pictures. Was there a photoshoot? I must have stumbled, because Nick caught me mid-fall. "Are you okay?" There he goes with that cautious voice again. Ugh. It's too perfect.

Breaking Truth Ep. 1
-Haley Ryan's POV- "GOD DAMNIT YOU STUPID PIECE OF UGH!" I slammed my fist on the top of my Dell laptop. And for the record; DON'T BUY A DELL. I have this project due at the end of the semster, well actually it's an essay on "the history of music" which is so off from what we're supposed to be learning I might add. My laptop had no internet connection for some reason even with a wireless adaptor. I was planning on doing research all day, but I guess I can't now. So I plugged my headphones into the junk and blasted "Pump it Up" by Elvis Costello to drown out the sound of my screaming. Ever since I started college at Berkley, I've been so stressed out lately. It's like I can never catch a break. And even when I'm taking a semester in New York, I can't seem to relax. It's like I have to do everything perfectly, and I want to. You could say I'm a perfectionist when it comes to school, but anywhere else I'm a complete slob. No wonder I don't have a roommate. So here I am in this little hotel in the big apple, blasting costello, screaming at the computer and mouthing the words to the song. I haven't slept in two days, but somehow I still have enough energy to run a marathon. Soemtimes I wish I never was accepted into college so I could just live the way I wanted to live. But then again, if I hadn't been accepted, I would never have even imagined becoming a writer. Berkley showed me how good I was at writing, and I'm even working on a novel on top of everything else I have going on. I just want the world to stop spinning long enough for me to chill out. -Joe Jonas' POV- I woke up with a massive pain in my side, then I saw Nick's arm moving back towards his body and him and Kevin laughing hysterically. Nick is a loser. I sat up and rubbed my eyes. It turns out we were finally here; in New York City again. One of my favorite places in the world. I got out of the car, in a complete daze from sleeping when I noticed someone familiar. I walked closer, and yes it really was her! "TARA!" I shouted and ran towards her, picking her up into a friendly hug. "Joe! Put me down! Don't break what you can't buy!" I laughed and set her down. "Why are you here? I mean not that I don't want you to be but, how'd you get here?" She straightened her shirt and looked up at me smiling. "Your parents invited me to spend the next few months with you guys. They were nice enough to fly me out here. Now we get to see each other everyday!" Man, was I happy. I haven't seen Tara in months because of touring and stuff. She's been my best friend since the age of three and we've always gotten along. She was one of the coolest people around and now I would get to see her everyday for awhile. And I know what you're thinking, NO I don't like her like that. She's like my little sister and I love her just like that. -Nick's POV- We walked up to the front desk and checked in. I have to admit I was insanely jealous that Joe got to have his best friend up here with him, I mean I would kill to have Christiana or Sara up here, but ever since I accidentally kissed Sara in front of my parents, I guess they think of us more than just friends. And by accident, I mean ACCIDENT. She tripped, I fell on top of her and bam. It went from there. Suddenly my pocket started vibrating and I opened my phone to see a text from Christiana. It said, "Heyy! Just seeing if you're in NY yet. Tell me everything, I want to know every detail about the trip. Hopefully I'll see you soon." I smiled and texted back, "Hey C, yeah I'm in the city now. So far it's pretty good, but I mean was just got here lol. But we're checkin in now so I'll call you tonight. Bye! (:" -Kevin's POV- "I wish you were here..." I whispered into the phone so my brothers wouldn't hear. I was on the phone with Gabby, my girlfriend of two years. It was killing me not being able to see her for months at a time. "I know. But maybe I can fly out for a performance or something. I'll see, but don't you go meeting any other cute girls in the Big City now." I laughed, "No one is a beautiful as you. Don't ever think differently." I knew she was smiling. "Alright, well I'll elave you to get settled in, you call me later though okay? I love you." "I love you too. Bye Gabby." Then I heard it. The noise I always hear when I get off the phone with Gabs. Joe and his friend, Tara were immitating me and Gabs. Why couldn't they just grow up already? "I love you sooooooo much my little Gabby bear!" Joe said into his hand, shaping it like a telephone. "Oh, I love you so much Kevvy. I miss you SOOOO much. Please, come home." Tara made a puppy dog face and they started busting out laughing. I rolled my eyes and continued walking towards the elevator. SORRY IT'S SHORT AND BORING. I just needed to say that stuff so you guys SEMI-get it. lol the next one is where everything starte between everyone lol :] plus for some reason i can't wrire more so it sucks. :[
