Don't Get Away From Me

[Edgar's pov]

"Emz?"

"Oh God...You better...see this..." Emz breathed heavily as she took out her phone. "Ugh, I've found you EVERYWHERE! I'm so sick of you 2 being so silent!" Groaning, she typed down something. "Just watch it. I've sent it to you."

Ding.

I took out my phone. What is this? The thumbnail was um, very blurry and I could only see some blurred colors. The one that took the video must has a shaky hand.

"Oh no!" Emz looked at the time and widened her eyes. "I need to go back home...Bye, you better watch it as soon as possible." She snorted and began running back home.

Weird.

[4 hours later.]

It's around 8 or 9 at night, I guess. I didn't really care about the time.

I want to make up to Colette, but what if she doesn't want to see me? The fact that we didn't talk like we used to do is suffocating me to death. I hate seeing her but not talking to her. I hate having her by my side but not in my arms. I hate working with her without any jokes or laughs or just simply sharing. It felt so wrong, but I just don't know what to do.

That video.

Yes, after being bored and just pacing back and fourth in my house, I finally decided to take that phone in my hand again but I charged it. I'm kind of curious...I stared at the message that Emz sent me earlier today.

Emz: [video.]
Emz: Plz
Emz: Treat her better
Emz: I'm srs

I raised an eyebrow. It didn't seem normal...

Sighing, I finally clicked into the video.

"Guuuuuuys I'll sing this one I'll sing this one!" The sound of the video of so loud that I flinched.

Is that...Colette?

"Go giiiiirl!" And that's Emz.

There were some cheering at the back. The camera focused onto the ground and the lights were changing at every second. Colette smiled happily as she walked into the sight and grabbed the microphone. "Afterglow, dedicate to...you." Her voice was surprisingly calm.

You...

"And she's tipsy, by the way. Edgar I already knew I'll send this vid to you." Emz whispered to the phone. Damn that's creepy.

The music played, and the lyrics were shown on the screen in front of where Colette was standing. She swayed herself along with the music. All I saw was her rear view, but I could tell that she's having a great time, without me.

"🎵I blew things out of proportion, now you're blue.
🎵Put you in jail for something you didn't do.
🎵I pinned your hands behind your back, oh.
🎵Thought I had reasons to attack, but no."

She sounds beautiful when's she's singing...

"🎵Fighting with a true love, is boxing with no gloves.
🎵Chemistry 'til it blows up, 'til there's no us.
🎵Why'd I have to break what I love so much?"

Break something I love so much...

Love.

"🎵It's on your face, and I'm to blame.
🎵I need to say, Hey, it's all me, in my head.
🎵I'm the one who burned us down.
🎵But it's not what I meant.
🎵Sorry that I hurt you.
🎵I don't wanna do, I don't wanna do this to you.
I don't wanna lose, I don't wanna lose this with you."
