Sorry for being inactive! Enjoy!
He was outside the door.
"Baby, please open the door! Can we talk about this?" He called from behind the door. Tom. She thought and closed her eyes as tears appeared in the corner of her eyes. She opened her mouth and did the only thing she did best and loved doing.
I know I can't take one more step towards you
Cause all that's waiting is regret
Don't you know I'm not your ghost anymore
You lost the love I loved the most
She began softly as Tom continued knocking on the other side of the door.
I learned to live half alive
And now you want me one more time
"Baby, it was an accident. Please believe me." It was an accident every single time. And with the same girl? I doubt it. I wonder how many girls have you screwed? She wanted to say but the words that left her mouth was a song.
And who do you think you are?
Runnin' 'round leaving scars
Collecting your jar of hearts
And tearing love apart
You're gonna catch a cold
From the ice inside your soul
So don't come back for me
Who do you think you are?
"Please, honey, I've been asking around for so long to find you. Please…I'm sorry." Chloe just closed her eyes again. She had broken up with Tom right after graduation and she had quickly moved into an apartment that she had found. The building was nice and the apartments at the top floor were the more luxurious ones so that was where she chose to live.
that she had bought right before graduation. It was far from Barden and that suit her fine.
I hear you're asking all around
If I am anywhere to be found
But I have grown too strong
To ever fall back in your arms
It had been two months since and she hadn't heard from him at all. That suit her fine too. It gave her time to learn to cope with the breakup.
And I've learned to live half alive
And now you want me one more time
She recalled all the times she had caught him with another girl. She remembered that she had confronted him but he had denied it each time. When she had proof, he would say that he was drunk, even though he looked anything but drunk in photos she had taken to confront him with.
And who do you think you are?
Runnin' 'round leaving scars
Collecting your jar of hearts
And tearing love apart
You're gonna catch a cold
From the ice inside your soul
So don't come back for me
Who do you think you are?
She sighed. She really didn't want to think about it. But she remembered what she had gone through the past two months. How she cried herself to sleep. How she wanted to drown herself in alcohol but couldn't bring herself to. How her boss had been understanding and allowed her to take leave. How she had almost committed suicide so many times. So many things, and she still wondered till now what had stopped her from destroying herself.
And it took so long just to feel alright
Remember how to put back the light in my eyes
I wish I had missed the first time that we kissed
'Cause you broke all your promises
And now you're back
You don't get to get me back
The knocking persisted. She really didn't want to see Tom again. She wished he would just go away. Instead, she stared out of the window. Living on the top floor of the apartment gave her a good view. And the window was purposefully pushed out so there was a space for her to sit down and lean against the glass as she stared out of it.
And who do you think you are?
Runnin' 'round leaving scars
Collecting your jar of hearts
And tearing love apart
You're gonna catch a cold
From the ice inside your soul
So don't come back for me
Don't come back at all
Sometimes, she wished that she hadn't met Tom. But it's too late now. She will just have to deal with it.
And who do you think you are?
Runnin' 'round leaving scars
Collecting your jar of hearts
Tearing love apart
You're gonna catch a cold
From the ice inside your soul
Don't come back for me
Don't come back at all
"I'm sorry, Chloe, I really am." She heard Tom sigh in defeat. But she knew he wasn't sincere.
Who do you think you are?
The knocking stopped.
"I hope you can forgive me." No. Never.
Who do you think you are?
The sound of fading footsteps filled her ears. And only then did she break down and cry.
Who do you think you are?
...Nothing to say, tbh. Anyways, R&R please, it's very much appreciated!
