Count on You

Olivia's View

"I wanna be with you." Y/n says.

"About that. I need you to remember one thing." I say.

Now I'm about to give you my heart
But remember this one thing

"I need you to go easy on me." I say.

I've never been in love before
So you gotta go easy on me

"What does that mean?" Y/n asks.

"Once you fall in love, it's hard to get out." I say.

I heard love is dangerous
Once you fall you never get enough

"If you're not in this for the long haul, don't lead me on and let me fall in love with you." I say.

But the thought of you leaving
Ain't so easy for me

"So you're already thinking about loving me?" Y/n asks smiling.

"Take this seriously." I say laughing.

"Don't hurt me and don't leave me." I say.

Don't hurt me (Eh)
Desert me (Hmm)
Don't give up on me

"I have no intentions to do that." Y/n says.

What would I wanna do that for?

"You'd be surprised to know that everyone else has said that to me but has still done it." I say.

Don't use me
Take advantage of me

"I'm not everyone else. I'm Y/n." Y/n says.

Make me sorry I ever counted on you

"I'm gonna hold you to it." I say.

1, 2, 3, 4 to the 5, baby, I'm counting on you
1, 2, 3, 4 to the 5, baby, I'm counting on you

"You have permission to sick your fans in me if I do any wrong." Y/n says.

1, 2, 3, 4 to the 5, baby, I'm counting on you

I laugh and she smiles.

1, 2, 3, 4 to the 5, baby, I'm counting on you

Time Skip

"You've been with tons of shitty people. You really have awful taste." Tate says.

Understand I've been here before
Thought I found someone I finally could adore

"Gee, thanks." I say.

But you failed my test
Got to know her better
Saw I wasn't the only one

"What is gonna make Y/n different?" Tate asks.

"I just gotta trust her." I say.

But, I'm willing to put my trust in you
Baby you can put your trust in me

"Trust. Heh, as much as you trust people, you should have trust issues." Tate says.

My phone rings and I see a notification appear on the screen.

"She just texted me and told me she was here. I didn't even know she was coming up." I say.

"That's creepy. I'll promise to be the speaker at your funeral." Tate says.

"Bye." I say.

"Bye." Tate says laughing.

I hang up and get up.
I open the door and let Y/n in.

"Hey." I say.

"Hey. I brought food." Y/n says putting a bag on the table.

"Oh my god, you're a life saver. How did you know I was hungry?" I say.

Just like you count to 3
You can count on me

"I know that you're never hungry around lunch so you skip but then you start to get cranky because you haven't eaten about 2 hours later." Y/n says.

"I do not get cranky!" I say.

"You're cranky right now." Y/n says.

"You're right." I say.

Y/n laughs and I smile.

"Are you free tomorrow?" I ask.

"No." She says.

"Damn." I say.

"Why?" She asks.

"I need help putting together a table and I've never touched a power tool in my life." I say.

"I guess I can skip my morning nap. I'll go pick up my dad's drill on the way." She says.

Anything I'm doing, girl
I'll drop it for you

"Morning nap?" I ask.

"Yeah. The nap I take after I eat breakfast." She says.

I laugh and she smiles.

Cause you're the one I'm giving my heart to but I gotta be the only one

Time Skip

"Does this screw go here or here?" I say.

"This hole isn't deep enough so use that one." Y/n says.

We stare at each other and laugh. I put the screw in the hole and tighten it with the drill.

"Thank you for being so patient. As you can see, I have no idea what I'm doing." I say.

Don't hurt me
Desert me
Don't give up on me

"Everyone has to start somewhere." Y/n says.

What would I wanna do that for?

"We're getting lunch, I don't care if you're hungry or not. You don't need to be upset with a drill in your possession." Y/n says.

"Heh, okay." I say.

I can tell Y/n has genuine intentions. She has me down a science and for once someone isn't using it to their advantage.

Don't use me
Take advantage of me
Make me sorry I ever counted on you

Y/n's phone dings and she groans.

"Fix it your damn self. I'm doing more important shit like spending time with my girlfriend." Y/n says typing.

1, 2, 3, 4 to the 5, baby, I'm counting on you
1, 2, 3, 4 to the 5, baby, I'm counting on you

I laugh and she smiles.

1, 2, 3, 4 to the 5, baby, I'm counting on you
1, 2, 3, 4 to the 5, baby, I'm counting on you

"I love you." I say.

I really hope you understand
That if you wanna take my hand

"Huh?" Y/n asks.

You should put yours over my heart
I promise to be careful from the start

"I love you, Y/n." I say.

I'm trusting you with loving me
(Very very carefully)

"I love you too." Y/n says smiling.

Never been so vulnerable
Baby I'll make you comfortable

I smile and she kisses me.

1, 2, 3, 4 to the 5 (yeah), baby, I'm counting on you (Ohh)
1, 2, 3, 4 to the 5 (why would I want to do that, hey, yeah)

"Honestly, that was your problem. You fall in love too easily." Y/n says.

1, 2, 3, 4 to the 5 (Oh, whoa), baby, I'm counting on you
1, 2, 3, 4 to the 5

"So I just made a mistake telling you that?" I ask.

Now I'm about to give you my heart
So remember this one thing

"Nothing we ever do or say to each other is gonna be a mistake." Y/n says.

I've never been in love before

I smile and nod.

Yeah, you gotta go easy on me
