"Klavier! How could you?! I thought you loved me and then I find out, from Trucy no less, that you've been cheating on me for the past year!" I shouted. The two of us were backstage getting ready for the show when I found out that fact. Before he could reply, there was a knock at the door, "You have 2 minutes before the show starts!" After that, we realised it was Klavier's manager. Klavier replied thanking the man before turning back to me, "You going to leave me?"
"OF COURSE I'M GOING TO FUCKING LEAVE YOU! But, right now, the show is more important. In fact, I know the perfect song to end it with." I told him the title and we walked out of the dressing room to the stage.

The concert was now coming to a close. I nodded to Klavier before starting to sing, directing my words to him, "Now and then I think of when we were together. Like when you said you felt so happy you could die. I told myself that you were right for me, but felt so lonely in your company, but that was love and it's an ache I still remember."
"You can get addicted to a certain kind of sadness like resignation to the end, always the end, So when we found that we could not make sense," Klavier sung, making me want to cry more, getting the fact that he didn't even love me in the first place.
"Well, you said that we would still be friends but I'll admit that I was glad it was over," I retorted, singing directly at him. Was it my aim to make him feel guilty for cheating on me? Yes, yes it was.
"But you didn't have to cut me off, make out like it never happened and that we were nothin'" he continued singing.
"And I don't even need your love but you treat me like a stranger and that feels so rough," I sung back, look directly at him, venom in my voice, "No, you didn't have to stoop so low"
"Have your friends collect your records and then change your number. I guess that I don't need that though. Now you're just somebody that I used to know."
"Now you're just somebody that I used to know."
"Now you're just somebody that I used to know," we both sang together.
"Now and then I think of all the times you screwed me over," I scoffed as Klavier sung that line, he was the one screwing me over, not the other way around, "But had me believin' it was always something that I'd done, but I don't wanna live that way. Reading into every word you say. You said that you could let it go and I wouldn't catch you hung up on somebody that you used to know."
"But you didn't have to cut me off," I sang, getting right up in his face, "Make out like it never happened and that we were nothing and I don't even need your love, but you treat me like a stranger and that feels so rough." I continued to sing, my aim of making him feel guilty working. I was chipping away at him and I knew at some point, he'd be begging for me to take him back, "No, you didn't have to stoop so low. Have your friends collect your records and then change your number. I guess that I don't need that though, now you're just somebody that I used to know."
We continued to sing and on the final note, Klavier grabbed the neckline of the dress I was wearing and pulled me into him, kissing me. Despite my shock, I still managed to push him off me and slap him in the face, before running off stage trying not to let my tears fall. I ran back to the dressing room me and Klavier were sharing and entered, before locking the door behind me. I slid down the door and let the tears fall and I didn't stop letting them fall until I heard a knock on the door, "(Y/n)? You in there?"I snivelled, "What do you want, Apollo?"
"Want to talk about why you're upset? It'll help." He was right. I stood up and unlocked the door. The minute I had, it opened and Apollo pulled me into a hug, "Shh, let it all out, (Y/n). Shh. It's okay." I hugged him back and cried onto his shoulder, "H-he cheated o-on me a-and then h-he had the a-audacity to k-kiss me when I'd m-made it perfectly clear that I-I was breaking up with him w-when I found out."
"Shh. Klavier's just a jerk. T-there's nothing you can do a-about it now." I released my head from his shoulder, "Apollo, why are you stuttering?" He just looked away from me, not meeting my gaze, making me even more suspicious, I knew he was trying to find an excuse. He'd know better than anyone that I'd be able to tell if he was lying, "D-do you know something I don't? I know that Trucy was the one that told me Klavier was cheating on me, but she didn't say who with. Do you know? Is that what you're keeping from me?" I put my hands on his shoulders, forcing him to look at me, "If you do, tell me."
"(Y/n), I-I can't! Y-You'll hate me forever."
"W-wait, what do you mean?! The only thing that would make me hate you is that if you were the one Klavier cheated on me with... Trucy definitely wouldn't-" I felt him tense up and he looked away from me again. I gasped, more tears starting to fall from my face, realising the truth. I detangled myself from the hug and dashed out of the dressing room and the theatre...
---------End of Oneshot
Hehe... that be all you're getting... also sorry this took so long again.
