(Austin)

As I pulled Alexis across the parking lot to the bus I tried taking deep breaths to calm myself down. How could those girls say something like that? They don’t even know Alexis! They don’t know anything! After we got on the bus I sat down and saw her take a seat.

“We’ll just get food somewhere else.” I said when we started driving. There was a moment of silence and I noticed she looked confused so I looked at her.

“What?”

“Why did you do that?” she asked.

“Do what?”

“Why did you say those things to her?”

“Because they were the truth.” I shrugged.

“Well not really.”

“What do you mean?” I asked.

“What you said about me being a girl who is confident and likes who they are and feels secure about themselves.”

“But you are.”

“No I’m not.” she shook her head.

“I thought you were over that.” I said.

“Well I’m not.”

“Alexis.” I sighed. “You are beautiful. Okay? Stop telling yourself that you’re ugly because it is so far from the truth that the two don’t even exist on the same planet. You’re beautiful.” I said. I stared at her for a moment and then started to lean in. She leaned but then quickly pulled away. She stood up and took a few steps back.

“No you cant do that.” She shook her head again.

“Do what?”

“You cant just say something like that and then try and kiss me. Not after what happened earlier.”

“Alexis I’m so sorry. I didn’t mean any of that.”

“It’s too late for apologies.”

“Please Alexis-“ I started.

“No. wait here. I have to tell you something.”

“Then why should I wait here?” I asked as she walked off to the room.

“Because the only way I can do it is through song.” She said back.

She came back out and sat on the couch across from me and began strumming.

“All this time I’ve been wasting hoping you would come around

I’ve been givin out chances every time

And all you do it let me down

And its taken me this long

Baby but I figured you out

And you’re thinkin we’ll be fine again

But not this time around

You don’t have to call anymore

I wont pick up the phone

This is the last straw

Don’t wanna hurt anymore

And you can say that you’re sorry

But I don’t believe you baby

Like I did before

You’re not sorry

No, no, no, no

Looking so innocent
