I know I should be working on Speak, but this just popped into my head and I HAD to get it down RIGHT NOW! I'll get back to work soon. PROMISE!
Song is Self Esteem by Offspring. LOVE it!
Me does not own Gone. Me does own this plot bunny, a banana, rights to torturing Jio, and my toes.
Me likes my toes.
Me goes bye-byes.
You read story. You enjoy story.
Bye-byes.
DRAKE
I wrote her off for the tenth time today.
Practiced all the things I would say.
But when she came over, I lost my nerve.
Took her back and made her desert.
I slammed my fist on the wall. God, I hated her so much! How much I would love to tell Caine everything.
But I wouldn't. Because way, way, way deep down, I might still care for her.
Still love her.
Still miss her.
Might even forgive her.
Way deep down.
Diana Ladris.
Caine's "girlfriend."
My ex-girlfriend.
I know I'm being used
But that's okay because I like the abuse.
I know she's playing with me
But that's okay because I've got no self esteem
Oh yeah! Yeah, yeah! Oh yeah! Yeah! Oh! Yeah! Yeah. Oh! Yeah, yeah!
She sabotaged the relationship. Found things wrong that weren't. Always came running back, sorry.
We make plans to go out at night.
I wait 'til two and then I turn out the light.
This rejection's got me so low!
If this keeps up I might just tell her so!
Oh yeah! Yeah, yeah! Oh yeah! Yeah! Oh! Yeah! Yeah. Oh! Yeah, yeah!
We ran that circle for 3 years, until Caine came, developed his powers. Then she left me in the dust.
For real that time. She never came back.
And I hated her for it.
And loved her.
But hated her.
When she says that she wants only me
I have to wonder why she sleeps with my friends!
When she says that I'm like a disease
I wonder how much more I can stand!
Well I guess that I should stick up for myself
But I think it's really better this way!
The more you suffer
The more it shows you really care! Right! Yeah!
Right now, I could bet that she was with Caine. Heck, maybe they'd play that game. He'd learn the hard way.
Tap –tap-tap!
I opened my door and did a double take. Diana, mascara streaking down her cheeks, hands clasped, stood at my door, just like she did before Caine took her.
And I admit
This little bit
Happens more than I'd like to admit!
Late at night
She knocks on my door
She's drunk again and she's looking to score!
"I'm sorry," she whispered.
I raised my eyebrows. "Sure you are."
She grabbed my hand. "Please Drake. I miss you." She paused. "I want you back baby," she whispered. "Please."
I held back a moment.
I know that I should say no
But it's kinda hard when she's ready to go.
I may be dumb but I'm not a dweeb
I'm just a sucker with no self esteem!
I opened the door wider and she stepped in, backing me up to the wall. Her arms went around my neck and she pressed her lips to mine, working furiously with her jacket. We tumbled onto my bed and kissed. Don't worry, we're just teenagers. That's as far as it went.
Oh yeah! Yeah, yeah! Oh yeah! Yeah! Oh! Yeah! Yeah. Oh! Yeah, yeah!
When she says that she wants only me
I have to wonder why she sleeps with my friends!
When she says that I'm like a disease
I wonder how much more I can stand!
The next morning, I saw her all over Caine and walked away as quickly as possible. A few hours later, she came running to my door, and idiot that I was, I let her in again.
The circle was back.
Well I guess that I should stick up for myself
But I think it's really better this way!
The more you suffer
The more it shows you really care! Right! Yeah!
