Cinderella SoKeefe: A Kotlc AU

Part 14

I'm singing, song after song.

I handpicked these certain songs, just to make Keefe understand.

I sing, and I'm not holding anything back.

"Sittin' in a parked car
We don't even fight no more
We don't even touch no more
Used to be my best friend
We don't even laugh no more
Barely even talk no moreYou wanna hold my hand and then you won't
You say you love me then you don't
You keeping me running and running aroundIf I'm not all you need
Then just set me free
I'm down on my knees
If you're not the one for me
Then just let me be
I'm begging you pleaseI'm praying for closed doors and open windows
I'll follow where the wind blows
Don't be scared to leave
If I'm not all you need
Then just set me free
I'm down on my knees, tonightWe used to go out on dates
Now you don't wanna go no place
It feels like we're stuck in one place
I wish I could read your mind
Instead I gotta read your eyes
Oh, why they tell me liesYou wanna hold my hand and then you won't
You say you love me then you don't
You keeping me running and running aroundIf I'm not all you need
Then just set me free
I'm down on my knees
If you're not the one for me
Then just let me be
I'm begging you pleaseI'm praying for closed doors and open windows
I'll follow where the wind blows
Don't be scared to leave
If I'm not all you need
Then just set me free
I'm down on my knees, tonightSe-se-set me free, le-le-let me be
I'm down, down on my knees (I'm down, down on my knees)
Se-se-set me free, le-le-let me be
I'm down, down on my kneesIf I'm not all you need
Then just set me free
I'm down on my knees
If you're not the one for me
Then just let me be
I'm begging you pleaseI'm praying for closed doors and open windows
I'll follow where the wind blows
Don't be scared to leave
If I'm not all you need
Then just set me free
I'm down on my knees, tonight."

I'm glaring at Keefe while I sing.

He gives a tiny nod, and I know he's starting to understand.

I sing, one final song.

"It's strange to think the songs we used to sing

The smiles, the flowers, everything is gone
Yesterday I found out about you
Even now just looking at you
Feels wrong
You say that you'd take it all back
Given one chance, it was a moment of weakness
And you said, "Yes"You should've said, "No"
You should've gone home
You should've thought twice 'fore you let it all go
You should've known that word 'bout what you did with her
Get back to me (get back to me)
And I should've been there
In the back of your mind
I shouldn't be asking myself, "Why?"
You shouldn't be beggin' for forgiveness at my feet
You should've said, "No"
Baby, and you might still have meYou can see that I've been cryin'
Baby, you know all the right things
To say
But do you honestly expect me to believe
We could ever be the same?
You say that the past is the past
You need one chance, it was a moment of weakness
And you said, "Yes"You should've said, "No"
You should've gone home
You should've thought twice 'fore you let it all go
You should've known that word 'bout what you did with her
Get back to me (get back to me)
And I should've been there
In the back of your mind
I shouldn't be asking myself, "Why?"
You shouldn't be beggin' for forgiveness at my feet
You should've said, "No"
Baby, and you might still have me, oh-whoaI can't resist
Before you go, tell me this
Was it worth it?
Was she worth this?No, no, no, no, no, noYou should've said, "No"
You should've gone home
You should've thought twice 'fore you let it all go
You should've known that word 'bout what you did with her
Get back to me (get back to me)
And I should've been there
In the back of your mind
I shouldn't be asking myself, "Why?"
You shouldn't be beggin' for forgiveness at my feet
You should've said, "No"
Baby, and you might still have me,"

I'm singing with the same country twang that Taylor Swift used.

I walk off the stage, my body numb.

I hear the applause, but I don't dwell on it.

I'm completely zoned onto Keefe's reaction.

He stands up, and walks out the cafe door.

He wants to meet me at the field of flowers.

I follow him.

"Hey," Keefe greets me. "You were amazing up there."

I shrug, not knowing what to say.

"I have to tell you something," He starts.

"No! You kissed me, then you kiss another girl? How messed up is that?!" I yell.

He looks meek. "Please, just listen to me,"

"Fine."

"I saw you, kissing Fitz. So..."

I feel hurt. "Fitz kissed me without my permission. Did you really think..." I trail off, realizing that he did think that.

I find the nearest thing, which happened to be Ella, and throw it at him. Hard.

"Ow." He winces.

I don't even flinch.

He has this sheepish look on his face. "I probably deserved that,"

I nod, and turn away from him.

"Guess you were right to hide the way you feel

We'd keep pretending like it wasn't real
Said you need space and now I finally understand
Why you refused to take my handWhen you're in love, it's hard to hide the truth
I know you better than you think I do
Lookin' back, I see I should've held my tongue
But I was immature and youngI miss the uncertainty
And all the nights of losin' sleep
Just two kids and make-believe
Can we go back to how it used to be?'Cause I'd die a thousand times
Not to have you on my mind
And I wish we never met
Or I hated you instead
'Cause I think we messed this up
Fallin' in and out of love
Wish I could pick a different end
Can we go back to bein' friends?Guess I'm the right person at the wrong time
I'm the type of crazy to ignore the signs
And now I see you got some stuff to figure out
And that's the reason you can't love me nowI miss the uncertainty
And all the nights of losin' sleep
Just two kids and make-believe
Can we go back to how it used to be?'Cause I'd die a thousand times
Not to have you on my mind
And I wish we never met
Or I hated you instead
'Cause I think we messed this up
Fallin' in and out of love
Wish I could pick a different end
Can we go back to bein' friends?Ooh, can we go back to bein' friends?
Ooh, can we go back to bein' friends?'Cause I'd die a thousand times
Not to have you on my mind
And I wish we never met
Or I hated you instead
'Cause I think we messed this up
Fallin' in and out of love
If I could pick a different end
I'd go back to bein' friends."

I close my eyes.

Then I finally surrender to sleep.

What are some really good songs?

If I like them well enough, I'll put them in here.

Flasher or Phaser?
