This is the real me

I held a hand to my mouth to stop from throwing up and locked the door behind Mark and then sunk to the ground. Tears streamed down my face as I choked back sobs.

What just happened?

Please tell me this is just a nightmare...

Mark hates me, he hates me!

I just wanted to crumple up and die, if I knew this is what would happen before I met Mark I would never have helped him in those woods that day...

I wiped my face sloppily with the palm of my hand and stared at my feet solemnly, my look of sadness slowly melding into anger.

No. You know what? I don't need Mark. He's just a dumb, snobbish jerk who pulls on your heartstrings just to yell at you when you start gaining feelings!

You know, my first video never really felt like me... I checked the video on my phone and the video had 2 views and a thumbs down, so much for a big break. It's time to be the real me, not the Mark me.

I set up the camera and sat on my bed, I took a deep breath and put on my nicest smile.

"Hey youtube, JeanPlaysMusic here. This cover goes out to all the lonely hearts out there. You deserve the world. Okay, here it goes." I said and closed my eyes focusing deeply on the lyrics.

I decided to sing You Belong with me by Taylor Swift. I think it related to my situation quite well.

You're on the phone with your girlfriend, she's upset

She's going off about something that you said

'Cause she doesn't get your humor like I do

I'm in the room, it's a typical Tuesday night

I'm listening to the kind of music she doesn't like

And she'll never know your story like I do

But she wears short skirts

I wear T-shirts

She's Cheer Captain, and I'm on the bleachers

Dreaming about the day when you wake up and find

That what you're looking for has been here the whole time

If you could see that I'm the one

Who understands you

Been here all along

So, why can't you see?

You belong with me

You belong with me

Walk in the streets with you in your worn-out jeans

I can't help thinking this is how it ought to be

Laughing on a park bench thinking to myself

Hey, isn't this easy?

And you've got a smile

That can light up this whole town

I haven't seen it in a while

Since she brought you down

You say you're fine, I know you better than that

Hey, what you doing with a girl like that?

She wears high heels

I wear sneakers

She's Cheer Captain, and I'm on the bleachers

Dreaming about the day when you wake up and find

That what you're looking for has been here the whole time

If you could see that I'm the one

Who understands you

Been here all along

So, why can't you see?

You belong with me

Standing by and waiting at your backdoor

All this time how could you not know, baby?

You belong with me

You belong with me

Oh, I remember you driving to my house

In the middle of the night

I'm the one who makes you laugh

When you know you're 'bout to cry

And I know your favorite songs

And you tell me 'bout your dreams

Think I know where you belong

Think I know it's with me

Can't you see that I'm the one

Who understands you?

Been here all along

So, why can't you see?

You belong with me

Standing by and waiting at your backdoor

All this time how could you not know, baby?

You belong with me

You belong with me

You belong with me

Have you ever thought just maybe

You belong with me?

You belong with me

After the last lyrics, I finally opened my eyes again, I truly had been lost in the moment, like I was stuck in a daze for 3 and a half minutes.

I smiled awkwardly and shrugged, "Hope you guys like that.. See you in the next video.. Jeanie in a Bottle, out." I said pretending to drop a mic and making myself giggle. I turned off the camera and posted the video. "I'll watch it in the morning.." I said to myself sitting back on the bed.

My stomach growled at that moment and I cursed under my breath, "Stupid stomach" I mumbled, I really didn't want to go back out there, not when he might be out there.

My stomach growled again and I rolled my eyes, "Okay okay you win! I'll get you stupid dinner.." I said to myself agitated and slowly opened the door and crept out into the hallway.

At that moment my eyes flicked up and Mark was walking by, most likely to go to his own room.

I didn't want to be rude so I smiled hesitantly and waved, "Hey Mark.." I said but my eyes widened when he walked past me cool as ice, not even bothering to look at me.

My heart dropped and I almost collapsed but kept walking to the kitchen. I finally got to the kitchen and fell forward propping myself up with my elbows on the counter.

He doesn't even want to acknowledge my existence!

Whatever.

I made myself dinner and then went to bed sad.
