Bittersweet Tragedy // Melanie Martinez + Ashton Irwin :: au

When?

It was Wednesday and Mel was alone.

Ashton stopped answering her calls and text.

She couldn't hang out with Calum because she couldn't deal with him being happy when four words could break him.

I cheated on you.

She had to tell him.

He deserved to know.

But was it really worth it.

Was it worth having him hate her.

She picked up her phone and stared at the picture he took of himself for his contact in her phone.

She tapped on the call icon and the picture enlarged.

Tears so ready to fall.

"Hello?" she heard Calum.

"Um I have something to tell you and I know-"

'Babe, babe, Can we talk about this later, i'm kinda busy right now in practice, ill call you back k?"

"Aww baby i love you blah blah blah waah waah waah. Dude I don't understand why you haven't dropped that crazy b**** yet." one of the nasty jocks said.

"Never, sorry you had to hear that babe. You're so much more than what he said, bye"

"bye"

Melanie was taken aback by this.

She new she was ugly but she didn't want someone agreeing with her insecurities.

It was making her think that maybe it would be better if they broke up.

Calum would regain his rep and she wouldn't feel guilty.

So it was set.

She was gonna break up with him.

Maybe Ash and her could even give it a try

Her phone buzzed.

She looked down and saw a post on Intsagram where everyone tagged was invited to a party.

She had been tagged.

She new it was a great way to let Calum down easy.

Sunday

It was the day of the party and she was ready to leave.

She open the door with her head held high.

Nobody would get in her way.

She was determined.

Step by step she marched out her home into to Sasha Bean's.

She saw people dancing left and right.

It was pretty cool to be honest.

"Have you seen Calum?" she asked a stranger.

"He went upstairs"

"K thanks"

She walked up the steps in hopes of finding him.

She looked in the first door: drugs

Then in the second: Let's keep it PG

Lastly in the third: Calum with another girl.

Calum was roughly kissing her and Melanie was broken.

She new she had cheated on him too but not this bad.

She stood there in shock for what seemed like an hour but was only 30 seconds.
