Don't Forget (Me)
Did you forget
That I was even alive
Did you forget
Everything we ever had
She swung her legs playfully, perched upon a picnic table. Her smile was elated as she beamed at her long-time boyfriend. The fierce look of adoration towards the blond was undeniable. He looked at her with a foreign but still adoring look.
"I love you," she whispered, her eyes sincere and serious. He opened his mouth to return the words but a pretty—no gorgeous blond bounced up to the couple; a huge bright smile etched on her beautiful face.
"Hi Derrick!" The blond sang-sung as she smiled a hundred wat smile. "Oh? I don't know you?" She acknowledged the brunette. "I'm Claire, Claire Lyons."
The brunette's eyes were narrowed and suspicious. "Hi. I'm Massie Block." She replied coldly; her smile vanished quickly.
"Oh it's nice to meet you!" The bubbly blond cooed; a sincere look plastered on her face.
Massie turned towards Derrick with a fearful look of apprehension clouding her amber eyes. His eyes were filled with a new adoration that Massie never saw him do to her. And the worst part was that he gave that look to her.
"Hey, Claire," he turned to Claire and hugged her tightly, kissing her cheek.
The rest of the day Claire joined them and he didn't even once turn towards Massie once. She bit her lower lip in anticipation.
Did you forget
Did you forget
About me
"Well, Block, I'll see you later." Derrick stated. He was dropping her and Claire off at their houses and Massie was first off. Not trusting her voice to respond, she pecked his lips and didn't meet his eyes as she hopped out of the car. As she walked up her steps, her breaths came short and wheezy. Breathing was becoming impairing and surprisingly difficult. Panic.
Did you regret
Ever standing by my side
Did you forget
What we were feeling inside
She stared at the photo of her and Derrick. It was just after The Tomahawk's won their championship soccer game and Derrick saved the winning goal and Massie was cheering so loudly along with the other girls.
"YEAH DERRICK!" She had screeched. Derrick turned to her with a look of surprise colored on his face and she ran down the bleachers on the field to where her best friend was standing. "Yeah Derrick, you did incredible!" She cheered. Derrick grinned a beautiful grin and she was in his arms, him holding her tightly. "Kiss me," she murmured, thinking impulsively.
Derrick pulled her close and kissed her hard.
She was seeing stars when she pulled away to breathe.
Her friend Alicia Rivera took the picture of them kissing passionately;
Massie never wanted to forget that brilliant day because that was the day she fell in love with her best friend.
Now I'm left to forget
About us
"Hey Massie, thanks for meeting me here." Derrick didn't even use his nickname for her…she was biting her tongue. He had asked her to meet him at the park because he thought it'd be nice to talk.
"Yeah, no problem." She dismissed.
Derrick towards to her with a look of surety.
"I want to break up with you and still be—"
"—Friends?" Massie asked tightly, her chest clenching tightly.
"Yeah," he ran a hand through his blond messy locks.
"I don't think that'd work, Derrick." She hissed through gritted teeth. Derrick shot her a bewildered look.
"—Why? Because you're leaving me for Claire effing Lyons." She pointedly replied. Derrick's ears burned a scarlet red and he was about to retort but Massie cut him off sharply.
"Don't you dare lie to me, Derrick Anthony Harrington." She was shaking hard and screaming fairly loud. "You want to dump me because you found someone better," Derrick shook his head reverently but Massie knew better. "I dare you," Massie began, "To lie to my face and tell me," she took a deep breath. "That you don't love Claire Lyons." Her breathing was labored.
"I do—I'm sorry," he shamefully admitted.
Massie turned to him with a look full of disgust.
"Fuck you Harrington." she barked as she leaned towards him full of aggression.
Her breathing was quieting down as she whispered her mind, "If you think that I'm just another pathetic girl who is going to go home and sob relentlessly over a boy who dumped her flat on her pathetic ass, you must be sadly mistaken."
And with that she turned on her Jimmy Choo heels and strutted off; numbness wrapping a secure blanket around her.
But somewhere we went wrong
We were once so strong
Our love is like a song
You can't forget it
"I'm sorry to hear about, y'know, you and Derri—"
Massie turned away her teeth gritted. "Don't. Say. His. Name."
Alicia's chocolaty eyes widened and she quickly murmured an apology.
"Hey baby," Josh Hotz cooed as he kissed Alicia's pout-y mouth. "Hi Joshie!" She squealed as she tickled her.
Massie turned away with sharp intentions as she wanted to stride off without another word. Instead she irrationally turned towards the couple with a blank expression.
"Bye Leesh, see you Josh." And she walked off without another word.
So now I guess
This is where we have to stand
Did you regret
Ever holding my hand
Never again
Please don't forget
Don't forget
Alicia scurried to Massie's empty side, a panic stricken look plastered on her face. "Massie! Massie!" She called as she reached Massie's side. "I," she panted. "Need to warn you that," she took another deep breath. "Claire's transferring to our school!" She looked actually happy. How dare she!
"What?" Massie croaked.
"Claire Lyons is coming to our school! She's soo pretty, and soo nice!" Alicia admired. Massie's eyes were slits by then.
"Brilliant."
Alicia turned to Massie, "She could be our friend! Oh I better find her!" Alicia scampered off, leaving Massie feeling all alone for the 2nd time in her life.
We had it all
We were just about to fall
Even more in love
Than we were before
I won't forget
I won't forget
About us
"Hi Massie!" Claire greeted. Massie ignored her and stormed past her, her emotions in a whirl. "Wait—Massie," Claire called desperately.
Massie kept walking.
Claire grabbed Massie's shoulder with a fierce look on her face.
"Please, listen." Claire pleaded, her large ocean blue eyes stricken. Massie had to look away from Claire's painfully beautiful eyes. No wonder Derrick dumped me for her…
"I'm sorry," Claire began. "I'm sorry that Derrick broke up with you after he saw me—I swear I didn't convince him to do that!" Claire exclaimed. Massie tucked a lock of hair behind her ear and turned to Claire with steely amber eyes.
"I awnestly don't give a damn about what you and Derrick, do." Massie snapped. Claire looked down, innocence filled the room.
"I'm sorry." She whispered.
Massie's heart clenched again.
"Forget it."
But somewhere we went wrong
We were once so strong
Our love is like a song
You can't forget it
Staring at the now 'it' couple, her eyes watered. Don't cry. She chanted.
"Hey Massie," a boy with one blue and one green eyes grunted as he took a seat on the picnic table. Massie didn't look at him though, she was unintentionally torturing herself by staring at the now couple.
"Don't beat yourself up about it," the boy advised. "It'll hurt less."
Massie turned to him now, a lost look placating her.
"It hurts a lot," she murmured quietly, thoughtfully. Her glassy eyes were unreadable. She stared blankly at the boy with dark brown hair—almost jet black—with two different colored eyes.
"I know, I feel the same." He muttered darkly.
"You liked Claire." She realized.
"Loved." Cam corrected.
"Love." Massie amended.
Somewhere we went wrong
We were once so strong
Our love is like a song
You can't forget it
At all
And at last
All the pictures have been burned
And all the past
Is just a lesson that we've learned
I won't forget
I won't forget us
"Hey Cam, will you please come over and help me with something?" Massie requested as she walked with him to her car.
"Sure thing." Cam quickly answered.
"Help me get rid of any traces of him." She spat.
Cam nodded and smiled warmly, "Of course Massie, I'll help you with anything."
But somewhere we went wrong
Our love is like a song
But you won't sing along
You've forgotten
"Well how long has it been since I got dumped?" Massie asked dully as she swung her legs over the picnic table. Her eyes were blank; monotone.
"4 months, 4 days, and something, something." Cam muttered. Massie turned to him with a look of surprise on her unsure face.
"You know the date?"
Cam nodded. "September 3rd." Massie looked at him with a burst of emotions that had not been there a while ago. Shock was evident.
"How?" She whispered.
"Same date Claire broke up with me," he explained thoughtfully, chewing on his lower lip, staring at her with curious eyes.
Massie heaved a well-needed breath, "It's been 4 months, 4 days, and 3 hours since Derrick Anthony Harrington broke up with me...and he's still the only one I see with a crowded room full of people."
