The all American Rejects own swing, swing. Disney owns Guy.
I sat at my desk looking down at the clean wood surface. Luis walked into the room.
"Hey Guy." My roommate greeted. I gave a weak smile and waved slightly. I looked up at the calendar and noticed the date. A month since Connie broke up with me. When did that happen? It still feels like the same day.
"Luis what time is it?" I ask with out turning to face him.
"About 10:30." He said. I got up an stripped down to my boxers and undershirt.
"I'm sleeping, night man." I say. I laid down in my bed and closed my eyes. Visions of Connie embedded themselves in my dreams. It's only been a month and she's already dating this new kid, Tyler Mason. A mix of feelings swept me up at once. Anger, at Tyler for taking my Connie, Happy that at least Connie was happy, and sadness the she wasn't happy with me. I drifted off to sleep. In my dream Connie and me were talking, suddenly Mason grabbed the sun out of the sky and Connie Disappeared. I woke up in the middle of the night. I've been doing that a lot lately. I felt the tears fall from my eyes and slide down my check. I know, your thinking pathetic right? I can't help it we've been dating for years.
Days swiftly come and go.
I'm dreaming of her
She's seeing other guys
Emotions they stir
The sun is gone.
The nights are long
And I am left while the tears fall.
I woke up to the ringing of the room phone. I glance at the clock it told me it was noon. I rubbed my face and answered the phone.
"Hello?" I answered lazily.
"Hey Guy." Connie said gently.
"Constance." I greeted, mentally I could see her flinch at her name.
"So how are you doing?" She asked testily. Does she think I'm gonna cry to her about the break up? I'm not that Pathetic, I wanna keep my dignity.
"I'm fine, how about yourself?" I asked.
"Great," She stated I could tell she was smiling. "Tyler and me went out to breakfast it was great." Was she rubbing it in? Does she even remember what it's like to be alone single with out a love?
"That sounds lovely." I told Connie.
"So how about you did you find anyone new?" She asked. I racked my brain then a name and a face came to me.
"Actually I was thinking about Asking Maggie James." I said before I could think properly. God, I thought, if she tells Portman he'll kill me. Maggie and Portman grew up in Chicago together
"That freak." She said before composing herself. "That's great. It wonderful you have no problems with us being separated."
"Honestly I did at first but now I have no problems." I said stretching the truth.
"Me too. Well, Guy, I have to go." Connie said.
"Alright bye Connie." I said hanging up the phone.
"I will find someone new." I vowed to myself.
Did you think that I would cry,
on the phone?
Do you know what it feels like,
being alone?
I'll find someone new
Surprising myself I actually found that I was going to Maggie and Julies room. I knocked on the door and a flash of last night's nightmare came back. Connie tugging and swinging on my tangled heart strings. Maggie opened the door.
"Hey Guy what's up?" She asked. She had the front of her head one in he usual spiked do but the back has hanging limply just passing her ears.
"Nothing, really. I just wanted to know If I could talk to you." I answered. What am I doing? My head screamed.
"Sure, Come in. I wanna finish my hair." She said turning away leaving the door open.
"Is Jules here?" I asked.
"Nope, her, Connie and Tyler went skating." She said carefully twisting her black hair up ward. While she did her hair I had a staring match with the floor. Suddenly the bed sunk slightly with the weight of an added person.
"So what did ya wanna talk about?" She asked absentmindedly, tossing one of Julie's hockey pucks up and catching it. Still my eyes remained glued to the floor.
"You wanna talk about Connie don't ya?" She asked.
"More than that." I said with I sigh. Maggie stopped tossing the puck and looked at me waiting for me to elaborate.
"She crushed me. Then she called me today and just started talking to me about how great Tyler was. She asked if I liked any one. and I told her I liked you." I said. Maggie looks quite shocked but then smiles.
"And do you?" She asked. I nod with out even realizing it. She smiles.
"Can you help me stop being so pathetic." I joke smiling. She nodded still smiling.
"Yea I think we can work on that." Maggie said slightly chuckling.
Swing, Swing, Swing from the tangles of
My heart is crushed by a former love
Can you help me find a way
To carry on again.
I left the girls dorm happier then I've been in a while. I looked up at the sky.
"Thank god, I hope this works." I mumble my hope into the nice breeze. I went back to my room and the only thing I could think was 'I'm finally moving on'. I started going though my stuff. I saw a couple of love letters, notes passed during class periods. They were old. bent by careless placement but you could still see the careful folds made be Connie. I had a sneaking suspicion, that every girl loves getting and giving notes so I'm not worried about never getting one again. All of them are pretty standard. I love you, I'm so bored, What are you doing later and all the other useless questions. I think Maggie isn't gonna be as wound up on notes as Connie, I don't think Cons could live with out passing someone a note.
Wish cast into the sky
I'm moving on
Sweet beginnings do arise
She knows I was wrong
The notes are old,
They bend, they fold
And so do I to a new love.
Later at dinner I saw Connie. She came over and started talking to me.
"Hey." She said awkwardly.
"Hey." I replied genuinely smiling.
"Guy, I was wrong to break up with you. Dating Tyler wasn't as spectacular as I thought it would be." She whispered.
"You wanna get back together don't you." I ask. She nodded slowly. My mind raced, earlier I would have gladly taken her back but now I was with Maggie. Right Connie, your problems are gone. I thought dryly to myself remembering our phone conversation.
"Sorry Cons. I'm seeing someone." I tell her. As if on cue, Maggie came and sat next to me followed by Portman and Fulton.
"Hey." I greeted them. Connie rolled her eyes and went to sit with Julie and a couple of other girls. This day has carried me to newer heights and all I had to do was whisper 'Carry me away'.
Bury me
(You thought your problems were gone)
Carry me
(Away. away, away...)
