IMPORTANT: THIS IS THE SEQUEL TO "LET HER GO."

Misery Business

Paramore

After I kissed Clare, she ran away. I had just ruined our friendship. Smart of me, huh?

I should have been happy that she had Kc. Although he was cheating on her...nevermind. If Clare's happy, I'm happy. Even if we never spoke again.

The next day, I went to school. I didn't see Clare around, but I usually didn't until English.

I was at my locker when I heard something. "...and Jenna are together now!" Some random girl squealed To her friend. I think her name was Chantay.

I closed my locker and went over to them. "Excuse me, but who did you say was with Jenna?"

They looked at each other. I could tell they were surprised by my comment. I don't usually speak to people that aren't my friends, so I could see why they would be acting like that.

"Uh, I said that Jenna is dating Kc."

I was way more surprised at what she said than they were at what I said. The information worked through my head as I thought:

Clare no longer has a boyfriend.

Leave it up to me to change that.

XXXXXXXXXX

I saw Clare at lunch.

"Hey, Clare!" I yelled. She turned around and blushed when she saw me. "Hey Eli..."

"I heard some interesting news today," I said, gesturing for us to sit down at a table.

She hesitantly sat down and avoided my eyes.

I continued. "Did Kc break up with you?"

She looked up. "How did you find out about that?"

I raised my eyebrows. "So he did? I'm sorry."

She looked away again. "He didn't...I broke up with him."

As I processed this information, my ego took over and I couldn't help but wondering if it was because of me.

I gave her a look that said, keep going.

"Well, um, I sort of realized...I mean, after our...after you...kissed me...I sort of...uh...I didn't want to be with Kc."

"And why's that?" I felt terrible about the smirk creeping up on my face, but I couldn't help it.

Clare looked up. She looked into my eyes for a few seconds and my smirk went away. Her eyes were so-

She leaned forward across the table and kissed me with as much passion as possible. I kissed back, obviously, and we didn't stop when we heard wolf whistles from other tables. I smirked into the kiss.

::TWO WEEKS LATER::

Clare is my girlfriend. I am Clare's boyfriend. It's surreal. It's perfect. It's amazing.

Kc is dating Jenna. I can tell he sort of regretted cheating on Clare, I can see it in his face when he sees us. I get it, though. I bet Clare's ten times the girlfriend Jenna is. Too bad for him, because I'm the one that has her.'

XXXXXXXXXX
