I saw him kissing Tori, and he looked like he enjoyed it. I just stood there and covered my mouth and started tearing up. I took off running. I heard him calling my name, but I kept running. I heard him start after me, so I took off my heels and bolted. I dropped one of them, but I didn't care. I needed to get to my safe place. I kept running. I could feel the tears running down my face and turning cold from the wind. I ran to the boardwalk. I sat down and clenched my chest, and balled. I couldn't believe him. I was so naïve to think he cared about me. I pulled out my phone and head phones and put in my earbuds. It was Lana Del Rey's Born To Die.
Feet don't fail me now.
Take me to the finish line
Oh, my heart it breaks every step that I take,
But I'm hoping at the gates
They'll tell me that you're mine.
I should have told him how I felt.
Walking through the city streets
Is it by mistake or design?
I feel so alone on a Friday night
Can you make it feel like home
if I tell you you're mine
It's like I told you honey.
I was too late.
Don't make me sad
Don't make me cry
Too late.
Sometimes love is not enough
The road gets tough
I don't know why.
Why do bad things always happen to me
Keep making me laugh
Let's go get high
The road is long, we carry on
Try to have fun in the mean time.
All of our fun memories came back. His laugh and smile are permanently in my mind.
Come and take a walk on the wild side
Let me kiss you hard in the pouring rain,
You like your girls insane
I wish.
Choose your last words,
This is the last time.
Cause you and I.
We were born to die.
Just like my chances with Roman. I should have told him how I felt. I should have. I thought he might have liked me. But I guess not. The song switched.
Right now, he's probably slow dancing with a bleach blonde tramp
And she's probably getting frisky.
Well this sounds like the situation I'm in.
Right now, he's probably buying her some
Fruity little drink cause she can't shoot whiskey
She's all show.
Right now, he's probably up behind her
With a pool stick showing her
How to shoot a combo
But he don't know
I RELATEEEEEEEE
That I dug my key into the side
If his pretty little souped up four wheel drive
Carved my name I to his leather seat
Damn I'd like to be doing this right now.
I took a Louisville slugger to both headlights
Slashed a hole in all four tires
Maybe next tile he'll think
Before he cheats.
Even though he was never mine.
I heard footsteps coming down the boardwalk. I stayed facing forward. A red heel was placed beside me. "It's after midnight. You're too late Prince Charming." I said. Roman sat down. We sat in silence for a while.
"June, I'm sorry."
"For what?" I said, trying to bite back tears.
"For what you saw." Roman said as he put his head between his knees. "She just came at me."
"Sureeeeeee..." I said sounding as sarcastic as possible.
"June I have feelings for someone else, not her." He said.
"Who." I asked.
"Well," he started. "She's amazing."
"Mhmm." I mumbled.
"She's got a smile that brightens up any room she walks in." He said. I acted like I wasn't paying attention.
"And a body all the guys drool over, but she has a heart of gold."
"Mhmmm." I mumbled again.
"And she has a great sense of humour, and she has a great taste in music." He continued.
"And eyes that you could just drown in."
I looked up finally from my hands. I turned to face him, but he was already looking at me.
"And she's my best friend." He said.
"And..." I asked, turning so I could face him.
"And I've wanted to do this to her for a long time..." He leaned in and kissed me. He put a hand on the side of my face and leaned in closer. He put his other and on my back and slid towards me. I put my arms around his neck. This couldn't be happening. He put his forehead against mine. "June." He said. "I love you. I have since the moment I layed eyes on you." He said." I turned so I was sitting on his lap. "I love you too, Roman." And we just sat there and kissed. I got lost in him. He was what made me happy. He turned on his phone, and Katy Perry's Teenage Dream started playing. I laughed. He smiled and I felt my face go red. "You're my teenage dream."
