So here's the next chapter. Sorry for swearing. I felt it was appropriate. Don't own Jar of Hearts.
"Bryce?" I asked, dizzy.
I was about to say more when I felt him trying to drag me out of bed.
My eyes widened and I screamed.
Unfortunately, it wasn't very loud.
I saw someone moving behind Bryce.
Suddenly, a something came flashing down on his head and he crumpled.
"Thatwas for Olivia, you ba$tard."
I looked at SYT Boy and felt even more dizzy all of a sudden.
"Luke?" I asked.
Luke's POV
She looked at me and I said gently, "That was Bryce. He was your other ex-boyfriend."
She whispered, "I know. I remember him."
She stared at me slightly creepily. "I remember you too."
She added, "I remember everything up until I read the note from Jennifer. Then it's just blank."
She suddenly looked angry again. "So get away from me!"
The police came rushing in suddenly. Everything was chaos after that, and I couldn't speak with Olivia, tell her that I hadn't done anything.
One week later (yes, this is a line break.)
Nobody's Point of View
Olivia looked at the lyrics to Jar of Hearts. She frowned.
She was going to school again, in hopes that it would help her recent memory. She remembered wanting to be in the talent show a little while ago.
So she had signed up to sing this song, but she was really nervous.
Luke had come, apparently to watch Rowley's magic show, and she still wasn't sure about him, even though everyone said it was all a misunderstanding.
Bryce was out there again, apparently having escaped. She wondered where he was. Her memories of him had been mainly happy, so why was everyone so upset?
Then she heard her name. "And up next, we have Olivia Xxxx singing Jar of Hearts, by Christina Perri!"
She walked out onto the stage nervously.
She took a deep breath and started to sing.
(Italic is Luke's thoughts.)
"I know I can't take one more step towards you
'Cause all that's waiting is regret
Don't you know I'm not your ghost anymore
You lost the love I loved the most
She probably picked this song because of me.
I learned to live half alive
And now you want me one more time
Is she singing about me and her?
And who do you think you are?
Runnin' 'round leaving scars
Collecting your jar of hearts
And tearing love apart
You're gonna catch a cold
From the ice inside your soul
So don't come back for me
Who do you think you are?
Now I feel REALLY guilty.
I hear you're asking all around
If I am anywhere to be found
But I have grown too strong
To ever fall back in your arms
This really hurts. I hope she knows that.
I've learned to live half alive
And now you want me one more time
Half alive… like when she was sleeping. Or right after we broke up. Or when she saw me with Holly.
And who do you think you are?
Runnin' 'round leaving scars
I am leaving scars. All over. On Holly, Greg, Rowley, Trista, Patty…
Collecting your jar of hearts
Holly's, Olivia's… Jennifer's.
And tearing love apart
You're gonna catch a cold
From the ice inside your soul
So don't come back for me
Who do you think you are?
A terrible person. A really terrible person.
And it took so long just to feel alright
Remember how to put back the light in my eyes
I hated seeing you like that. I really did.
I wish I had missed the first time that we kissed
'Cause you broke all your promises
I know I did.
And now you're back
You're lookin' to get me back
Yes, I am. But not in a bad way, please just understand that.
And who do you think you are?
Runnin' 'round leaving scars
Collecting your jar of hearts
And tearing love apart
You're gonna catch a cold
From the ice inside your soul
Yes I am, you're right.
So don't come back for me
Don't come back at all
I won't, not unless you want me to.
And who do you think you are?
Runnin' 'round leaving scars
Collecting your jar of hearts
And tearing love apart
You're gonna catch a cold
From the ice inside your soul
Don't come back for me
Don't come back at all
Who do you think you are?
Who do you think you are?
Who do you think you are?"
