Author's Note- I am not really a JoLu fan. I'm not even that fond of Lulu anymore after the way they've been writing her lately. But I heard this song and I thought it would be the perfect sequel to Stay.
Johnny walked into his father's house and trudged up the stairs to the room he shared with Lulu. He was upset that Maxie had ended things, but he just couldn't break up with Lulu. As much as he loved Maxie, Lulu needed him more. Little did he know that Lulu was waiting up for him.
It's
strange to think the songs we used to sing
The smiles, the
flowers, everything: is gone
Yesterday I found out about you
Even
now just looking at you: feels wrong
You say that you'd take it
all back, given one chance
It was a moment of weakness and you
said yes...Lulu
had found it suspicious that Johnny would spend so much time working
when he hated his father and his father's business, or so he said.
So Lulu had followed him to work to see what could have him to
engross in a job he hated. To her surprise she followed her "devoted"
boyfriend to none other than Maxie Jones' apartment. Lulu was
devastated that her boyfriend was not only sleeping around on her,
but he was sleeping with Maxie Jones! The one woman she hated more
than anything else in the world. She quickly stormed off.
You
should've said no, you should've gone home
You should've thought
twice before you let it all go
You should've know that word, bout
what you did with her
Would get back to me...
And I should've
been there, in the back of your mind
I shouldn't be asking myself
why
you shouldn't be begging for forgiveness at my feet...
You
should've said no, baby and you might still have me
Lulu felt a range of emotions throughout the night as she waited for Johnny to come home. First was anger, then devastation, followed by frustration, and finally pure rage. She kept playing what she was going to say over and over in her head, she packed her bags and waited, every minute pissing her off more and more. He had been with Maxie for over three hours now. Just then she heard footsteps and then she saw the bedroom doorknob turn as Johnny appeared. He had a forced smile which fell as soon as he saw Lulu's face and her bags. "Lulu, what's going on?" Lulu smiled, "I'm leaving you"
you
can see that I've been crying
and baby you know all the right
things: to say
but do you honestly expect me to believe
we
could ever be the same...
You say that the past is the past, you
need one chance
it was a moment of weakness and you said yes...
Johnny could see the dried tearstains on her face and became concerned, "Why? What happened? Did my father threaten you?" lulu shook her head; "Nope, you did this all on your own" Johnny looked confused, "I did what?" Lulu looked at him like he's crazy, "ARE YOU SERIOUS! YOU'RE SLEEPING WITH MAXIE AND YOU'RE WONDERING WHY I'M LEAVING YOU!" Johnny was taken aback, "How do you know?" Lulu shook her head, "I followed you tonight" Johnny rubbed a hand over his mouth then grabbed her arm so she would look him in the eyes, "Yes I have been sleeping with Maxie, but it was an extremely stupid mistake and I ended it tonight. I choose you"
You
should've said no, you should've gone home
You should've thought
twice before you let it all go
You should've know that word, bout
what you did with her
Would get back to me...
And I should've
been there, in the back of your mind
I shouldn't be asking myself
why
you shouldn't be begging for forgiveness at my feet...
You
should've said no, baby and you might still have me
"I don't choose you!" Johnny stepped back a little when he saw the look of rage in her eyes, "You admit you slept with her but that it was a mistake and you ended it. And I'm all of a sudden supposed to forgive you and take you back with open arms? YOU SLEPT WITH THE ONE PERSON I HATE THE MOST! I can't forgive that, nor do I want to. Good bye Johnny"
I
can't resist... before you go, tell me this
was it worth it...
Was
she worth this...?
"Lulu please don't go… I love you" Lulu stopped and turned slowly. She approached him seething, "You should have thought about that when you were in bed with Maxie. If you loved me you would never have slept with her. If you loved me you would have stayed faithful to me and not lied every single day. So was she worth it? Knowing how things are ending, would you have done it again?"
No...
No no no...
Johnny looked down at his feet. Lulu shook her head and smiled, "Then you should have said No the first time and I wouldn't be leaving your cheating ass… you better hope Carly is as stable as I am when I tell her what you did to me" Johnny's eyes got big as he thought of Lulu's overprotective vengeful cousin coming after him for hurting her cousin and he became truly afraid. Lulu laughed, "Sleep well… good bye"
