Giordana

March 24th (Ritz Night Club, Melbourne)

We'd spent the rest of the afternoon, working on the part of the video we'd be filming tonight. Tonight we'd be filming Brandon and Alex, leaving the club, hopefully making it look more scandalous than it really was. We'd also be attempting to film Holly, pretending to be a Gossip Reporter for a morning news program; explaining the situation. I knew doing the video this way, was incredibly risky; but I didn't care. The photos of Luke and Arzaylea, leaving the club that night, were the reason this song was even written.

We were currently outside the club. Holly, Monti and I were standing to the side, with Holly's camera set up, "we ready?" She asked. I didn't say anything, I just nodded, "alright, let's go!" She said, and she began filming. On cue, Brandon and Alex walked out of the club hand in hand; and all I could think of was that one word, that had been playing on my mind a lot today; déjà Vu. This is exactly what happened when Luke left the club with Arzaylea that night back in September, and when Michael left the same club in LA with that girl.

We wrapped up the shoot shortly after, it didn't take long. Monti was taking photos on her camera of the whole thing, so we could add them in to the video as well. Earlier that day, we decided what we would say after the so called news segment ended. The wording was perfect in my opinion.

Once upon a time there was girl, and she fell in love with a boy. The boy fell in love with her as well.
They decided to keep their relationship a secret; and no one knew why.
Then one night everything changed.
The boy was seen leaving a club, holding hands with another girl.
The girl ended the relationship, as soon as she could. She was heartbroken and devastated.
This is the story of Gia and Luke.
This is Revenge Is Sweeter.

I had my concerns about using Luke's name; but hopefully no one would be able to put two and two together. As far as I knew; Luke, Calum and Ash only knew me as Dana. So on the rare chance that Luke saw it, only he would be able to figure out the reality behind the story. It was also very unlikely that this video would actually take off. It was just a few girls having a little fun with a camera, and a song they wrote.

Monti, Holly and I decided to head back to my apartment, after we got what we needed. I didn't want to be tired tomorrow. We had to be at Holly's at around eleven so we could show her housemate the song, he had to figure out a tune. We wanted it to be up beat; even though the song told the story of how hurt I was in the beginning.

"So have you thought of a name yet?" Holly asked us, once we were settled back in my apartment, a bottle of wine opened. We were sitting on the couch, and Holly was editing the footage on her Mac Book
"No not yet," I sighed, "it's hard, like some bands have such crap names, I don't want to go down that road,"
"Yeah, crappy names," Monti laughed, "like 5 Seconds Of Summer,"
"Who even came up with that name?" Holly asked, "it's so bad, but their music's pretty good,"
"Michael," I told them
"Surprise, surprise," Monti, sarcasm lacing her voice. I took a sip of my wine and laughed along with the two girls, "are you okay though?" She asked, "I mean what you read must have hurt,"
"It fucking kills," I said honestly, "like where the fuck does he get off labelling me as a slut, and then hooking up with some random at a club?"
"He's an idiot," Holly said, "this world is full of fucking double standards,"
"Agreed,"

We were still talking about double standards between girls and guys around half an hour later, "so..." Monti began, "what would you say if Michael called you and told you he loved you?"
"What?" I asked, this was completely off topic, "I know what I would like to say, but honestly, I would probably say it back,"
"So you do love him?" Holly asked
"Well I definitely still have feelings for him, they're not just going to go away instantly, but I wouldn't go as far as love,"
"What would you want to say?" Monti asked
"Love you," I answered, and took a quick pause, and both of them looked at me, like I was crazy, "wait for it girls, wait for it,"
"I'm so confused," Holly said
"Same," Monti agreed
"If he said he loved me," I began, "I would say, love you," I paused for a few seconds, just to draw out the suspense, "not,"
"Love you, not," Monti said, so much sass was evident in her tone, it was exactly how I would have said it, "I love it,"
"It would confuse the shit out of him," I added
