❝"They serve the best milkshakes ever!"
You sounded so much like a kid.
"My favourite is Butterscotch. What's yours? Wait, let me guess it. Chocolate? Oreo? Cookie dough?"
"Butterscotch," my lips blurted out...
"Say, go through the darkest of days Heaven's a heartbreak away."
"He has come up a long way from First Dance, eh?"
It was a harmless comment. But your eyes darkened.
"Yes." You sounded curt and cold.
Green eyes swept over me, reminding me of a malicious and rancorous rainforest, clashing so much with the fuzzy green that always gazes from beneath your eyelids.
"How's Reid?" you continued and I winced.
"Good, I guess," I said. It was hard to hide the sadness in my voice. But then, why am I feeling the urge to hide it?
"Lost all contact after high school."
For a second you looked dubious. Then guilty. Then disappointed. Then sorry. Then you walked away with no goodbye, like that day when you first met Reid.
And darling, if I had known eight years b a c k, that that day was the start of us f a l l i n g a p ar t,
I swear, I would've stayed there instead of going off with Reid, hearing 'First Dance' by Justin Bieber with you, over, and over, and over again.
Though it had always been a little too squeaky for me.

a/n, i know it's wrong but man, I cracked up so hard at the end :P the first line is a lyric from 'let me love you' and artis was talking about justin bieber and not reid. and yes, I know, malicious and rancorous mean the same. but it sounded good to use the both together.
