Hey again :] I was actually writing a one-shot based on Leap Year because I love it, but…yeah…that wasn't working out. It was extremely hard to translate the movie into a chapter that was both concise and entertaining, and it proved to be too big of a task for me :(
So here is my next idea, based on the song 'Everybody Knows' by John Legend.
Hope you like!
And please, review!
-Everybody Knows-
Sandry slammed the door to her dorm room and slid down it, tears streaming down her face. She heard Briar's footsteps pound down her hall and stop outside her door and she choked back her sobs.
"Sandry! Sandry, come on! Let me explain!"
"Go away! Leave me alone!" She yelled through the door.
She heard Briar sigh, and she heard him sit on the other side of the door. "Sandry, I still love you."
She snorted disbelievingly. "Yeah, that's why you were practically eating Caidy's face." He groaned.
"Sandry, she made the first move."
"That doesn't mean you have to continue." She retorted.
"What do you want me to do? In the last few weeks of our relationship, you refused to even touch me. My body responded to her, hell, I'm just so in need of physical intimacy I would kiss Shan." He joked.
"I never touched you because you never even listened to me."
"To hear your gripe about how I was cheating on you with Caidy? You never listened to me when I denied it."
"Because it was true!" She shrieked. "And now, barely a week after we broke up, you're kissing her like there is no-one else in the room!"
"Did you hear me mention once Shan's infatuation with you? Just because Caidy wants me, doesn't mean that I want her." His voice held barely controlled fury, but they have been here before. All their arguments seemed to return to this.
Sandry heard Briar stand up. "I'm not doing this anymore. When you decide to trust me enough, I'll be waiting. I'll always wait for you."
Sandry heard Briar's footsteps recede down the hallways, eerily empty and distant. Sandry felt her heart go with him, and she started to sob even harder. She still loved him, and that couldn't change. Neither could her insecurities.
So watcha think? Not really fluffy, and not very long. I want it to be angsty and sad and bittersweet…
