Present time:
Melanie:

I couldn't believe what he had said, "I have someone else."

I felt like such an idiot. I wondered who the girl was, she was probably prettier than me, and she probably made him happier than I ever did.

When I got home, I cried.

And cried.

And cried some more.

How could I be so stupid? I wondered.

Of course Christian found someone else, I think it was karma. Karma got me because Christian had suffered over me, now it's my turn.

I hated myself.

Christian:

"Making bad decisions is my middle name

Someone come pull me outta my pain

I broke her heart and man what a waste..."

I was writing. I haven't written songs in months, nothing has inspired me, but now all I do is think of Melanie.

I decided to make her a mixtape to show her how I felt. I know it was cliché and no one even uses mixtape's anymore. But I've seen it in almost every teenaged film and it seemed to work, so why not? And I knew Melanie had Walkman her mom passed down to her a few years ago.
