"But you have to go!" Grace begged, "I can't walk in all alone or ill look like a total loser!"
"UGH! You are a total loser." I replied sarcastically, grabbing my books from my locker. I shut the locker and turned to her. She was on her knees begging, literally.
"Grace stand up. You're making a scene." I said, rolling my eyes and pulling her up.
"PLEASEEEEEEE, Kim! I want to go so bad!" I gave in.
"FINE but I get to wear what I want! Understood?" She nodded and I walked to class. Grace was my best friend and she just got me to go to a huge beginning of the summer party, supposedly everyone was going. She always makes me go to huge parties and I always end up going home without her or get my boyfriend, Jack, to bring me home. Sadly, three months ago I caught Jack cheating on me with a slut of the school and now he's a 'bad boy'. It still hurts but I don't really care. I'm not like most girls, I hate wearing tight skirts and I will hurt you if you mess with me. At the end of the day, and thankfully the school year, the bell rang and I took my time until I felt breath on my ear.
"How's my Kimmy?" Jack… He still flirts with me as if we never broke up. I guess I'm a challenge since I won't kiss his ass. I turned around, slapped in the face and walked away. Before I was out the door I turned and looked at him.
"One" I held up a finger, "Don't call me Kimmy. Two." I held up another, "Stop flirting and lastly, stop staring at my ass!"
Party time
I got dressed in bright pink skinny jeans and a white flowery shirt. I didn't always wear make-up but I brushed on some on my face and headed to Grace's house. We're neighbors so it's easy. I saw Jack leaving the garage and stuck out my tongue as he winked. Did I ever tell you Grace and Jack are twins? Well sadly they are.
We arrived and right away Grace saw her crush Jerry, Jack's best friend, and ran to him. I rolled my eyes and looked at the sparkly room of girls in glittery dresses and huge hair. I got a soda can and walked around until I saw a giant empty dance floor. I put my drink down and went up to the DJ. I asked what is up and he replied with that he only had karaoke right now and the music was on its way. I asked if he had Tell me I'm a wreck by Every Avenue. He nodded and handed me a mic.
I sang.
I could have been easier on you
I could have been all you held on to
I know I wasn't fair
I tried my best to care
About you
(About you)
I know I could have been a better man
I always had to have the upper hand
I'm struggling to see
The better side of me
But I can't
Take all your jabs and taunts
You're pointing out
My every fault
And you wonder why I walked away
When you tell me I'm a wreck
You say that I'm a mess
How could you expect anything less
(Expect anything less)
You latched onto me
Then cried I strung you along
I told you when you asked
I knew this wouldn't last
At least I could be honest about that
(Honest about that)
And now you're tellin' everyone
How I only did you wrong
I guess you never knew me at all
Remember on my 21st birthday
You took me where we went on our first date
We stayed till closing time
After four glasses of wine
You started with the pointless argument
You said that I forgot to compliment
The dress you wore that night
That I've seen a thousand times
[ Lyrics from: . ]
But I think
We just want different things
I want space
You want a diamond ring
Whatever made you think we were meant to be?
When you tell me I'm a wreck
You say that I'm a mess
How could you expect anything less
(Expect anything less)
You latched onto me
Then cried I strung you along
(Cried I strung you along)
I told you when you asked
I knew this wouldn't last
At least I could be honest about that
(Honest about that)
And now you're tellin' everyone
How I only did you wrong
(How I only did you wrong)
I guess you never knew me at all
You tell me I'm a wreck
You say that I'm a mess
How could you expect anything less
When you tell me I'm a wreck
You say that I'm a mess
How could you expect anything less
(Expect anything less)
You latched onto me
Then cried I strung you along
(Cried I strung you along)
I told you when you asked
I knew this wouldn't last
At least I could be honest about that
(Honest about that)
And now you're tellin' everyone
How I only did you wrong
(How I only did you wrong)
Still I see you standing there
Waiting round for me to fall
(Waiting round for me to fall)
Girl you must be crazy
Still believing you and me belong
I guess you never knew me at all
Every clapped and I saw Jack staring at me. I winked and smirked. Lindsey, school slut, grabbed the mic and yelled, "Is that all you can do? I bet you can't dance and what are you wearing?" I whispered to the DJ and sang Body bag buy Hit The Lights.
You're gonna need a bodybag,
I'll break bones you didn't know you had.
When I'm done there will be nothing left of you
for your friends to hold on to
when they find you cold and blue tonight,
face down in a parking lot.
Next time around, think about what you say
before you run your mouth.
Cause you're all alone and you're nothing
without your friends now.
You can tell the pavement what you really said
but I already know.
You got another thing coming if you think you're walking home.
This time I'm waiting here for you, you got nowhere to hide
You're gonna need a bodybag,
I'll break bones you didn't know you had.
When I'm done there will be nothing left of you
for your friends to hold on to
when they find you cold and blue tonight,
face down in a parking lot.
Here's a question.
What do you do when you're all alone
and you have nowhere to run to, swear I'll find you.
And this is what I'll do; I'll take it slow (I'll take it slow)
just to let you know that we're not playing, you're not walking home.
This time I'm waiting here for you, you got nowhere to hide
You're gonna need a bodybag,
I'll break bones you didn't know you had.
When I'm done there will be nothing left of you
for your friends to hold on to
when they find you cold and blue tonight,
face down in a parking lot.
Did you think that you had something to prove,
well you do yea, you do yea.
Did you think that you had nothing to lose,
well you do so you think you're walking home.
This time I'm waiting here for you, you got nowhere to hide
You're gonna need a bodybag,
I'll break bones you didn't know you had.
When I'm done there will be nothing left of you
for your friends to hold on to
when they find you cold and blue tonight...
(Next time around, think about what you say
before you run your mouth.
Cause you're all alone and you're nothing
without your friends now)
You're gonna need a bodybag,
I'll break bones you didn't know you had.
When I'm done there will be nothing left of you
for your friends to hold on to
when they find you cold and blue tonight,
face down in a parking lot.
I pointed at Lindsey during the whole thing and by the end she finally left. I decided that since Jack was so impressed I thought I would sing a song for him. I sang How You Love Me Now by Hey Monday.
You were talking to her
But messing with me
It's finally clear
You're blurring the lines
Are you disturbed?
Oh, now you care
Why do you race through my red lights?
Can't understand
I'll slow it down for you
Tell me how can you sleep?
How can you breathe?
Baby tell me how
How you love me now
Tell me how can you sleep?
How can you breathe?
I hate when you say
How you love me now
Save
Save it for her
I'm not gonna hear
Your reasons and "please-just-take-me-backs"
We never were right
Don't waste your breath
You crashed and you're on your own tonight
Can't understand
I'll slow it down for you
Tell me how can you sleep?
How can you breathe?
Baby tell me how
How you love me now
Tell me how can you sleep?
How can you breathe?
I hate when you say
How you love me now
Lights out
I found out
My falling star
Goodbye
The sun rises here
There's no more you and I
Tell me how can you sleep?
How can you breathe?
Baby tell me how
How you love me now
Tell me how can you sleep?
How can you breathe?
I hate when you say
How you love me now
How you love me now
How you love me now
I made it obvious that it was directed to him and you could tell he was embarrassed and… regretful? I just don't understand him! When I was done and off the stage he grabbed me and pulled to a nearby closet.
"WHAT WAS THAT ALL ABOUT?!" He yelled/whispered.
"What are you talking about?" I asked, innocently.
"Stop it Kim, You know what I'm talking about?"
"No Jack. You stop. Stop the flirting. Don't you remember cheating on me?" I said crossing my arms.
"Yes, Kim I remember!" He replied throwing his head back and wiping his face. "And I regret it every day!" I was surprised but confused.
"Then why?" I simply replied.
"Why what?" He said looking down at me.
"Why did you turn into this?" I still had my arms crossed but he still wrapped his arms around me.
"This is what I am without you." I thought I was going to cry but I held it in and pushed him away.
"I'm sorry, Jack. It's not that simple." I left the closet and found Grace and told her everything that happened.
"And he said, 'This is what I am without you.' Do you believe that bullshit!" I laughed.
"Kim, I need to tell you something." So my family and Grace's are like best friends and they always talk about going on vacation together and I guess we're going to Hawaii.
"WHAT?!"
