Musical One Shots

Hamliza: 🎶Better🎶

A/N: wow this is already the 60th one shot (well technically it's the 59th but oh well). Anyway, I got the motivation for this one shot from Better by Ben Platt so listen to the song above while or before reading and I'll add some of the lyrics to this!
Background knowledge: this is after the Reynolds Pamphlet kinda thing except they're in college and they broke up. ALL THE LYRICS BELONG TO BEN PLATT NOT ME!!!!

Alex POV:

Eliza made me move out. I can't blame her though. I cheated and she hates me.

The problem is that I can't function without her. That's when I started writing. I started writing songs.

The first one I tried to write was for Eliza. I called it 'Better'.

...

As soon as it was finished, I went to my YouTube account, Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and TikTok. I recorded the song and posted it on all of my social media and Spotify. I needed Eliza to hear this song.

It may be the only way I can get her back...

Eliza POV:

I opened Instagram and immediately saw that Alex had posted a video. I originally was going to block him but now I'm curious as to what he posted.

Probably something for that Maria girl. I thought.

I sighed and played the video.

Alex was sitting at his desk with his guitar in hand. He smiled into the camera. "This song is for Eliza.. hi... I know you hate me but I'm really sorry..I really am. Anyway.. this is my new song called Better." He said and started singing.

"I don't know if you're listening or if you wanted to hear from me
I don't feel like you're supposed to when somebody sets you free
I'm not good at pretending that I'm happy to be alone
Part of me is a question, can't answer it on my own
'Cause I lost part of me when I lost all of you, now I'm lost

I don't wanna come crawling, crawling
But I catch myself falling, falling
I could try to stop calling, calling just to show myself
Did you keep my sweater, sweater
Did you read my letter, letter?
Do you know me better, better than I know myself?
Do you know me better, better than I know myself?

I don't feel like we're done here
You got a lock on the things I want
I'm a lost, lonely one here who's addicted to holding on
I don't have you to kiss now and I'm putting myself to sleep
But it's me that I miss now, there's a me that I didn't keep

I don't wanna come crawling, crawling
But I catch myself falling, falling
I could try to stop calling, calling just to show myself
Did you keep my sweater, sweater
Did you read my letter, letter?
Do you know me better, better than I know myself?
Do you know me better, better than I know myself?
Than I know myself?

'Cause I lost part of me when I lost all of you, now I'm lost

I don't wanna come crawling, crawling
But I catch myself falling, falling
I could try to stop calling, calling just to show myself
Did you keep my sweater, sweater
Did you read my letter, letter?
Do you know me better, better
Do you know me better, better than I know myself?
Than I know myself?

I don't wanna wait any longer
For the feeling of getting stronger
Maybe that's why I wrote a song for you
'Cause you know me better
Better, than I know myself"

Once the song was over, I was teary eyed. He really does miss me. He really does love me.

I opened contacts and unblocked Alex.

BlueBird: hey I saw your song... it was really sweet

I texted him, not expecting a response but one came.

TomCat: thanks. I really miss you and thats how I cope

BlueBird: what you did was wrong. Really, really wrong.

TomCat: I know and I'm so so so sorry

BlieBird: I will forgive you... IF you bring me McDonald's

TomCat: done. See you soon!

And that's how I got my boyfriend back.

McDonald's.
