How is the music I'm listening to influencing my writing?


 Destroy Me (Destroy 2)

    "I know you only want to be friends, but I want to make something clear," I began. Kate tensed up when I reached forward for my iPhone. "Relax Katie, I'm just going to play you a song. This says it better than I can," I said.
    I plugged my phone into my stereo and cued up Mumford and Son's "I Will Wait For You." The banjo blasted through my speakers, and I watched as she realized what I was playing her.
   "I can't ask you to wait for me Reed," she said softly. "It isn't a choice for me Katie. I'll be your friend. I won't push you. But I'll still be waiting for you to see me the way I see you."
    She looked up at me with sad brown eyes. "Some people are too broken to waste your time on." "You aren't broken Katie, just a little bruised. Either way I'll be here waiting," I promised. "People around me get hurt Reed," she whispered.
    I wanted to touch her, comfort her in some way, but I knew that she was too raw to accept it right now. She grabbed my phone and searched through my playlist. Without a word she picked another Mumford and Sons song, "Ghosts That We Knew." When the song reached the chorus I knew that whatever Kate's secrets were they were going to break my heart.
