y/n;

i bit my fingernails as i watched from a distance. my heart sped up as his fingers wrapped around her shoulder, as smile plastered on his face. she smiled widely as well but it wasn't the same.

her two-piece dress was stunning on her, squeezing around her body. not only did grayson caress her with care, but i - unfortunately - knew that they belonged together more than we he and i did.

his eyes met mine and he ushered me over, but i declined, pointing to the bathroom. i shut the door quickly behind me and stood over the sink. my breathing had faltered tremendously and it was suddenly hard to breath. i slammed my fist on the wall and laid my head against it.

she cannot take my man.

i stepped onto the stage and slowly let out a breath, bracing myself for what i was about to do. the crowd had formed around me as the music starting to play.

Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
Oh, I'm begging of you please don't take my man
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
Please don't take him even though you can

jolene looked up abruptly at the calling of her name. she looked at me confusingly then at grayson. grayson's tongue sat between his lips and his eyes were glued to me. i couldn't tell if he was angered or just listening.

Your beauty is beyond compare
With flaming locks of auburn hair
With ivory skin and eyes of emerald green

Your smile is like a breath of spring
Your skin is soft like summer rain
And I can not compete with you, Jolene

everything i was singing was absolutely true. she is one of the most stunning girls that i have ever seen. it's no surprise that grayson is - and has been - secretly in love with her.

jolene didn't know what to think. her mouth was slightly hung open as she pushed her hair behind her back.

And I can easily understand
How you could easily take my man
But you don't know what he means to me, Jolene

He talks about you in his sleep
There's nothing I can do to keep
From crying when he calls your name, Jolene, Jolene

tears were like a waterfall down my face at this point; nothing could stop them. my hands were trembling and my voice was full of compassion for this song. the memories were like a tornado, swirling around me, taunting me until i couldn't take it any longer.

I had to have this talk with you
My happiness depends on you
And whatever you decide to do, Jolene

And you could have your choice of men
But I could never love again
Cause he's the only one for me, Jolene, Jolene

our eyes meet as i sang the ending. she ran her tongue across her bottom lip and let out a sigh. i smiled at the clapping crowd and thanked the accompanists for helping.

as i stepped down from the stage, grayson inched over to me. he didn't say anything, just stood there in his suit and tie, looking handsome as always. i opened my mouth to speak but jolene popped up behind him, causing me to close it immediately.

"that was nice," her voice was sarcastic but she still had that cheesy smile. "real nice."

i looked down at my feet and then up at grayson. he hasn't said anything and looked like he wasn't going to. my patience (or patients as grayson likes to spell it) was running thin with both of them.

"grayson," i threw my hands up in exasperation. "just tell me already. do you love jolene?"
