"Before he reveals himself, he wanted me to tell you that he's sorry. He's sorry for those cruel words he spoke the last time he saw you." Hayes looks at me and smiles. What the hell is going on?

<><><>

"Ladies and Gentlemen, put your hands together for Shawn Mendes." the crowd around me erupted in cheers. Whereas I was in tears. Soon the tears were running down my face like a waterfall. I dropped to the ground, not knowing what to do or say. Years have passed, since that day.


"Hi guys, thank you for all coming out here tonight. Big shout out to my buddy Hayes. I'll be singing a song that I wrote for a girl who I hurt dearly. This is "Life of the Party." He strums his guitar.

I love it when you just don't care

I love it when you dance like there's nobody there

So when it gets hard, don't be afraid

We don't care what them people say

I love it when you don't take no

I love it when you do what you want cause you just said so

Let them all go home, we out late

We don't care what them people say

We don't have to be ordinary

Make your best mistakes

'Cause we don't have the time to be sorry

So baby be the life of the party

I'm telling you to take your shot it might be scary

Hearts are gonna break

'Cause we don't-

I jump up on stage. "Please just shut up," I scream. Everyone in the crowd gasps. I look at them, "You all must think I'm out of my mind right?" Someone screams yes.

"Ha thanks. Maybe I am." I turn to look at Shawn, who's giving me a pleading look. I shake my head, "You know it's a bit funny that you don't want me to be the life of the party, when what you did to me was at the party."

"Ember stop ple-" I cut him off. "I can't stop, okay. Why did you even come back? Was it to torture me even more?" I asked.

"I-I." he takes a deep breath. "I'm sorry. You've got to believe me... I didn't mean to hurt you. I swear."

"You're so full of bullshit. You didn't mean to hurt me? You and your friends lured me into a trap, made confess my feelings for you, and then you broadcasted it for the whole world to see. So yeah, I think you did mean to hurt me."

He stepped closer and reached out to touch me, I pushed his hand away. I hold up my arms, "Do you see these? Every one of these cuts are dedicated to you." he opened his mouth, but I cut him off yet again. "Do you want to know what happened to me after you left? I'll tell you, on second thought I'll tell all of you. After you left, I started getting bullied. I was okay at first, I thought I was strong enough to bear it. I wasn't. I became depressed, and then the depression led to my cutting, and then my suicide attempt."

My sight began to get blurry, and that's when I fainted.
