A/N: Hi everyone. It's been a while but I hope you are all doing fine. Just for a little context, I've been a little low lately and I wanted to let some steam off so I apologise for the song.
~~~~~~~
"Am I that unlovable?"
"Of course not. I love you a lot. He's the unlucky one to have lost a gem like you."
I scoffed. "I doubt it."
"Forget this jerk. It's our siblings time."
"Yeah, sorry."
"What do you want to do?"
"Cry."
He sighed muttering "The day I meet him he's gonna get a good old beating."
"You better not hurt him."
"Oh come on. You're not gonna protect him after everything."
"What can I do? I don't not love him"
"I know it's hard but you have to get that out of your head. The past is in the past. You have to move on from him."
"Easier said than done."
"Let's do something else to get him off your mind. Any new song?"
"Only break up songs."
"That's a bit against my goal but I love listening to you. Your voice is a melodious lullaby that could put an insomniac to sleep."
"I learned from the best."
"Don't tell me that jerk again."
"Nope. Another special someone I lost and he's not a jerk."
"I'll ignore that last bit but I'm curious about this special someone."
A smile graced my face thinking of my role model. Ela.
"Ela helped around the orphanage a lot. She always rooted for us. Bringing us the best chocolate chips cookies, she's the source of my chocolate obsession, she always got scolded by Sara for spoiling us rotten but most of all she always pushed me to follow my dreams. All I can hope is I honour my promise of doing just that. I won't let anything stop me from achieving that dream."
"She sounds amazing and I'm sure you'll be the best songwriter this world has seen."
"Oh, I doubt it. No one can beat Taylor Swift."
"Fair enough."
I smiled.
"So, songs?"
"You're like a kid."
He shrugged, then smiled bright.
"Well, I do have this new one but it's a bit crappy. Like all of my other songs."
"Now now, it's not right to insult art. Every song it's beautiful in its own way. Especially yours."
"Yeah right."
"Come on, sing it and we'll see just how crappy it is."
I sighed. "Don't blame me later. You looked for it."
"There's nothing worst
You're on the road
It's about trust
When you're alone
You know what? Scratch that. I'm done with stupid sad songs. He wants to play with fire. He'll get burned."
"Okay?"
Dating a kid
"You'll never know
What I went through
There's nothing worst
Waiting but you don't show
You gave your word
You will come back
It's been three years
Where are you at?
1,2,3,4
One and only
Sure I can see
Don't remember
Moving to NYC
You've got your girls
You don't need me
Good luck with life
It's tough for kids
Left a letter
Thought it was cute
Doesn't matter
It was not true
Next time we meet
Prolly won't care
I'll be like 'who?'
The kid without a beard?
Oh, yeah. My childhood love
Good thing I left it there
In childhood, imagine the horror
Waking up and being like
I'm dating a kid
1,2,3,4
One and only
Sure I can see
Don't remember
Moving to NYC
You've got your girls
You don't need me
Good luck with life
It's tough for kids
Must be tough, right
Being a kid"
I looked up at Alex and he was staring at me wide eyed, his jaw agape.
"Sums it up pretty well, yeah."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
My heart thudded. I looked back at my phone. He had hung up and the number had been deleted. What was this about?
"You okay?"
I was about to answer but the hospital called again. I hesitated.
"Belle?"
I glanced at him before eventually picking up the call. It's the safer option right now.
"Hello?" I asked my voice laced with fear.
"Miss Anderson? Your brother is out of surgery. He's stable."
A huge smile erupted on my face.
"Thank you for letting me know. I'll be there as soon as soon as possible."
I hung up and started packing my things. I would worry about this creepy caller later.
"Belle? What happened?"
"My brother is out of surgery. I'm going to see him."
"Alex is fine? Wait, I'll drive you."
That idea is definitely nota good one. Now that the initial shock and sadness has faded all that's left is burning anger. And mind you I hold grudges.
"As much as I would be glad to catch up, I prefer not ruining my mood before going to meet Alex."
With that, I grabbed my stuff and walked out. He didn't even remember I hate travelling in cars.
I walked to the subway and took the first one that would lead me to the hospital. I smiled at the receptionist before proceeding to Alex's room. I slid the door open and I was flooded by relief seeing him stable. I carefully kept the files on the little table and dropped on the chair with exhaustion.
"You gave me quite the scare A. Please don't do that again. Like ever. I haven't talked to Doc yet but I'm assuming the surgery went well considering your heart is functional again. I know I tend to stop hearts with my beauty but no need to exaggerate."
I made myself more comfortable laying back and closing my eyes.
"Had my first meeting at work today. You have a bit of explaining to do buddy. What were you thinking working for that jerk?And I told you hundreds of times DON'T DRAG ME INTO MARKETING. I'm happy withwriting songs, thank you very much. You better get up quick because I can't wait to chase you around with a baseball bat."
"I better go back to sleep then," a scratchy voice replied.
A/N: Am I stopping here? You bet I am. I hope you enjoyed the chapter. I feel extremely sorry for Gray because of the song which I think was pretty confusing because I just can't keep up with their locations and there many things I have not revealed yet but I hope you still liked it. I'm so happy I wrote my first savage break up song instead of the usual sad ones. By the way I was planning on starting a YouTube channel firstly for my songs because I understand that without the rhythm it does not make much sense and also I would love to discuss about random things. Must be these presentations getting to my head. Let me know if you would be interested. That's it for today. Until next time have a great day/night.
Thanks for reading and all the support.
