I got the inspiration for this fic when I was listening to The Only Exception by Paramore, and when you get inspiration for a Flinx songfic, you simply DO NOT ignore the inspiration.
Or else Jinx will hunt you down and jinx you into oblivion.
Also- I was told I wasn't allowed to copy and paste song lyrics into my stories, so just go to . and look at the paragraphs OR listen to the song as you read this!
Disclaimed.
The Only Exception
Paragraph one of The Only Exception
I watched my mother and father fighting from behind the railing of the staircase, my hands clasping the bars with my face poking out in between the wooden bars. I felt the strange emptiness in my chest- my heart? - because I knew I was the cause of their arguments.
Momma and Papa got divorced the next week, leaving me with a broken family at the age of 3.
P2
Momma got fed up with taking care of me after awhile, because I reminded her of Papa and that hurt her too much.
I woke up the next morning on the front door of an orphanage at the age of 5.
P3
I thought when I met Stone- who I know now was only Cyborg, playing dress-up- that maybe I was wrong. That maybe love did exist.
I was wrong. My third heartbreak at the age of 12.
P4
I guess I knew that it wouldn't last. It doesn't ever last. No matter how much you want it to, or how good it was going in the beginning, it'll never last.
Cyborg was just my wake-up call.
P5
I thought- no, I knew- that I'd be ok on my own, loveless. I'd be content. I could survive. I've got my friends, the H.I.V.E. Five, and that's all I'll need.
I'd just have to get used to this gaping hole in my chest, and let it eat away at my soul.
P6
Just look at Momma and Papa, millions of miles away from each other.
P7
Kid Flash made my heart lurch, my palms get sweaty, and my stomach start doing flips before the rest of me. I knew that it wouldn't work out. So I didn't try. I wouldn't get hurt this time around.
But maybe… no.
P8
'Trust me' he had said. I was always told that trust the equivalent of shooting herself- trusting someone gives them the extra option of backstabbing. More emotion luggage in the long run.
But… was I wrong to do what I did?
''The only exception.'' I told myself.
One last shot…
P9
The only exception.
P10
