As she wondered into his house, with the
box of things she bought for him for
his birthday, she stood at his door in
utter disbelief. Him with her. A tear fell
from her weeping eye knowing that he
has betrayed her with her worst enemy.
Truth be told, she wasn't all that surprised.
She was holding onto him in hopes for
his maturity to alter his behaviour. But,
some things never change.
She was in love with the person he used to be.
She was love with the person he never truely was.
So she watched the one person she truely
loved go, like it was nothing.
It was something she never wanted to see.
And you see, It's not that he left her, yeah
that hurt her. It's that he lied to her
after she put her all into him. She knew
she deserved better, but she didn't want
it from someone else. She wanted it from him. Moving on doesn't mean forgetting. It means you choose happiness over hurt. But like always, she chose the only thing that made sense to her. And that wasn't happiness.
The bright lights flickering, and the loud music
beaming in her ears snapped her out
of her thoughts.
"I said I wanted Thin Mints and you said
you knew a guy,
You showed up with a boom box and
stars in your eyes
Who knew cuddling on trampolines
could be so reckless
We bonded over Black Eyed Peas
and complicated exes.
Fell so deeply into it,
It was all so innocent
Now I'm a homewrecker, I'm a slut
I got death threats filling up semi-trucks
Tell me who I am, guess I don't have a choice
All because I liked
I'm a hot topic on your tongue
I'm a rebound gettin' 'round stealin' from
the young
Tell me who I am, guess I don't have a choice
All because I liked a boy
I'm not catastrophizing
Everything's derailing
Was only tryna hold you close
While your heart was failing
It's not internet illusions just
Two kids going through it
You said I'm too late to be your first love
But I'll always be your favorite
Now I'm a homewrecker, I'm a slut
I got death threats filling up semi-trucks
Tell me who I am, guess I don't have a choice
All because I liked
I'm a hot topic on your tongue
I'm a rebound gettin' 'round stealin'
from the young
Tell me who I am, guess I don't
have a choice
All because I liked a boy
All because I liked a boy
Fell so deeply into it
It was all so innocent
Dating boys with exes
No, I wouldn't recommend it
I'm a homewrecker, I'm a slut
I got death threats filling up semi-trucks
Tell me who I am, guess I don't have a choice
All because I liked a boy
And all of this for what?
When everything went down, we'd
already broken up
Please, tell me who I am, guess I
don't have a choice
All because I liked a boy
Ah (a boy), ah (a boy)
All because I liked a boy"
she took a deep breath as the crowd cheered loudly, plastering a fake smile on her face, hopping that nobody would know the difference.
"thank you so much for being here with me tonight, it means the world to me" she began, quickly blinking back the glistening tears that had formed in her eyes.
"I love the outfits! you guys are so cute!" she smiled, looking around at the audience, who was full of mostly crying teenage girls.
As she sung the rest of her set list, stopping in between songs to talk with the crowd, her mind wouldn't stop thinking. She could almost hear the gears in her head ticking.
After all, it had only been a month since she found her ex boyfriend cheating on her with her biggest hater.
"I love you all so fucking much. Please be safe getting home, and I hope you enjoyed tonight as much as I did" she smiled and waved before turning and walking off the stage.
"you did amazing peach!" her manager
squealed giving her a hug.
"thank you Soph" she giggles, wrapping her
arms around the girl.
"alright let's get you home baby"

As they sat in the bus, it was clear to Sophie that something was on Athena's mind. Her knee was bouncing, and she was picking at the skin surrounding her nails.
"you okay peach?"
"yeah I'm fine"
"come on Athena, tell me what's up?"
the girl let's out a loud sigh.
"it just hurts" she admits.
"I know peach, but you'll get through it"
"I just don't get it Soph. I gave him everything. Literally all I had in me, and he couldn't even stay loyal? why was I not good enough? why didn't he love me?" she sobbed as Sophie ran to her side, wrapping her arms around the girl.
"oh baby, you were good enough, you are good enough. Don't you ever let a boy tell you that you aren't. Chase is a fucking asshole who never deserved you. You are fucking Athena Jo Hart, don't you dare forget that"
"what would I do without you Soph?"
"combust"
"facts" she chuckles as Sophie wipes the
tears from under her eyes.
