Theme - Heartbreak
Characters - Zach/Cammie
Song - Breakeven
"It's not what it looks like." - A common phrase used among people. But maybe the person just isn't looking hard enough. Maybe they don't have all the facts. Maybe they aren't sticking around to see what really happens.
I'm still alive but I'm barely breathin'
Just prayin' to a God that I don't believe in
'Cause I got time while she got freedom
'Cause when a heart breaks no it don't break even.
He saw Josh walk up to her. He saw him wave, but he wasn't close enough to hear him call out to her.
"Hi, Cammie!"
She smiled as he approached. "Hey, Josh."
But Zach didn't hear the sadness in her tone.
Her best days were some of my worst
She finally met a man who's gonna put her first
While I'm wide awake she's no trouble sleepin'
'Cause when a heart breaks no it don't break even, even, no.
"You said you wanted to talk to me?" Josh asked before pulling Cammie in for a kiss.
Zach clenched his fists. Even though he broke up with Cammie a long time ago, it doesn't mean he was over her. He still loved her. He just wanted to protect her.
He didn't see Cammie flinch away from Josh.
What am I supposed to do when the best part of me was always you?
And what am I supposed to say when I'm all choked up but you're okay?
I'm fallin' to pieces, yeah.
I'm fallin' to pieces.
"Actually, yes."
Zach watched as they spoke. He wished he could hear what she was saying to him. He watched Cammie's lips move as she talked. He wanted to be the one she was talking to.
But he didn't see the way Josh's smile faltered.
They say bad things happen for a reason
But no wise man's gonna stop the bleedin'
'Cause she moves on while I'm still grievin'
And when a heart breaks no it don't break even, even, no.
[ Lyrics from: r/reece+mastin/breakeven_ ]
What am I supposed to do when the best part of me was always you?
And what am I supposed to say when I'm all choked up but you're okay?
I'm fallin' to pieces, yeah.
I'm fallin' to pieces, yeah.
I'm fallin' to pieces, yeah.
I'm fallin' to pieces, oh.
"It's because you still love him, isn't it?" Josh asked.
Cammie nodded. "I'm really sorry, Josh. I wanted us to work out, but..."
"It's okay, Cammie."
You got his heart and my heart and none of the pain
You took the suitcase, I took the blame
I'm tryna make sense of what little remains, oh
You left me with no love and no love to my name
Zach wanted to go over there and tell Jimmy that he couldn't have Cammie. He wanted to win her back. But he couldn't blow his hiding spot. He couldn't have the Circle get to her.
"Cam, I still wanna be friends."
She nodded and offered a smile. "Me too."
Zach saw them hugging from his hiding space. He saw Josh and Cammie walk away from each other. But he was angry she would just give up on him. He thought she would at least still love him like he loved her.
I'm still alive but I'm barely breathin'
Just prayin' to a God that I don't believe in
'Cause I got time while she got freedom
'Cause when a heartbreaks no it don't break, no it don't break, no it don't
Break even, no!
Zach Goode didn't know a lot. Maybe that's because he didn't look enough. He didn't see that the hug Cammie gave Josh was a good-bye hug.
He didn't see Josh's smile turn into a hurt frown.
He didn't see Cammie pull out a jacket that was given to her in junior year.
What am I gonna do when the best part of me was always you?
And, what am I supposed to say when I'm all choked up and you're okay?
What am I supposed to do when the best part of me was always you?
What am I supposed to say when I'm all choked up but you're okay?
I'm fallin' to pieces, yeah
I'm fallin' to pieces, yeah
I'm fallin' to pieces!
Zachary Goode didn't see the tear that rolled down her cheek when she pulled the heavy jacket over her shoulders and thought about a certain green-eyed Blackthorne Boy.
When a heart breaks, no it don't break even.
