Not So New York

by Fist-it-Out

In the sequel to New York, A New World, Rosalina is preparing for her first day at a new school, starting with the Back to School Dance the Friday before. With new problems arising and constant arguments, it's no wonder there are rumors of Nat and Rosalina breaking up. Can their relationship last through a few more months, or will it all come crashing down in one big decision?

2. You Got Burned

Chapter 2: You Got Burned

Nat's POV

After about two hours, the guys had left and it was just me, Rosalina, and Alex in the house. I went into my room, pulling my shirt over my head. I sighed, standing in the mirror, debating whether I should take off my shorts. Instead, I kicked off my shoes and sent back to the kitchen to begin lunch. As soon as I finished making their sandwiches, I brought Alex's his, then took it back when I saw he was sleeping. I grabbed my juice and took it to the couch, putting it on the coffee table before going back to the kitchen. Then I grabbed the two plates, and finally sat done next to Rosalina. I offered her a sandwich which she quietly accepted, and we set in silence watch High School Musical 2 for what felt like ever. After we both finished, I took the dishes back to the kitchen and put them in the sink for later. I went back into my room, grabbing shirt before going back out.

On the screen was somewhere after Gabriella left the resort close to the talent show. "Rosalina," I said, breaking the silence. "I hope you know that what I said earlier isn't what I meant to say." After she didn't respond, I continued. "I am not embarrassed of the songs I wrote about you, it's just that I don't like getting picked on. And those guys are jerks, so didn't want them bothering us. But I told Cooper that we would do it. And I hope you know I'm sorry for offending you." I looked at her, seeing she wasn't budging. I sighed, resting my arm on the edge of the chair. I got up, sitting down at the piano. "So if your listening, this is a song I wrote when I was mad. I was mad at you since you refused to eat and that's what put you in the hospitals in the first place."

(verse 1)

How could you be so unclear

why didn't you stick to us near

now your lost and on your own

mothers left you here alone

(pre chorus)

how could you leave the beautiful gold

why did you not realize that it would be gone

(chorus)

you played with fire and you got burned

you played with fire and you got burned

you played with fire and you got burned

(verse 2)

now the gift is gone

now your on your own

wish you knew it was wrong

wish you knew it was wrong

(verse 3)

if you are so insecure

every battle meant to war

you have dug yourself a hole

lost your heart and sold your soul

(pre chorus)

how could you leave the beautiful gold

why did you not realize that it would be gone

(chorus)

you played with fire and you got burned

you played with fire and you got burned

you played with fire and you got burned

(music)

you played with fire and you got burned

I looked up at where she was sitting, seeing her back still turned to me. I sighed, getting up and walking around the couch. I sat next to her, seeing tears slowly running down her cheeks. I wrapped my arms around her, pulling her into a tight hug. I felt her shaking as she cried into my chest.
