Chapter 22: "I've Been Let Down" - Mazzy Star

Lyrics:

I'VE BEEN LET DOWN
And I'm still coming round
I've been put down
And I'm still coming round for you
Coming round for you

Take away everything if it feels fine
Catch a shape in the circles of my mind
Make me feel like I belong to you
Make me feel it even if it ain't true
Catch a train on a silver afternoon
A thousand miles and I'm gettin' there too soon
Take me there, when I should be going home
Tell me why I'm still feeling (all) alone

I'VE BEEN LET DOWN
And I'm still coming round
I've been put down
And I'm still coming round for you
Coming round for you

"So, how long will you be gone for?" Myles asked me from the bedroom.

       Myles was laying on the bed with his arms stretched out behind his head, propping himself up. The way he had his arms, it showed off the muscles he had, very well. I think he was flexing for me.
       I told myself not to pay attention to how good he looked laying like that, and to continue what I was doing. I was in the bathroom gathering up my makeup into a carrier bag, wounding up my straightener and blow dryer, and gathering up anything else I need for however long I was going to be gone. I was keeping busy as I made separate trips from the bathroom to the bedroom to put everything in my suitcase.

"I'm not sure exactly, I do have to be back at the end of the month for when the boys' CD comes out. So, I guess then?" I said as I began to fold some clothes into my suitcase.

"Why exactly are you going? Didn't you do a cruel hard dumping on this guy." Myles said, and I flashed back to when I said that to him.

"It wasn't exactly a cruel hard dumping, I just said that because..." I started to trail off, because I wasn't too sure why I said it exactly that night at Dex's party.

"Because I was the random guy at the bar trying to buy you a drink?" Myles said, finishing my sentence.

"Basically yes." I said with a smirk. "But, Zane asked me to help out, I'm getting paid for it, so I figured why not since I have the time off."

"Well, have fun, I guess. I'll probably be in the studio with Neon Trees soon anyways." Myles said like the kid who didn't get invited to the cool kids party, but tells people he didn't want to go anyway.

"Good, it'll give you something to do." I said instead of 'don't miss me while I'm gone.'

       I finished packing all the clothes I think I needed, like a few dresses, casual outfits, and sleepwear. When I was done zipping up my suitcase all the way, Myles sat up from the bed and grabbed me by the back pocket of my pants. He pulled me into him, and wrapped his arms around my waist." I didn't feel the same as I did before, as Myles had his hands all over my body. I felt slightly like my skin was crawling, all I wanted to do was get him off of me.
