Same Old Love

Goodbye to that Same old Love

[14] We sneaked into the school party unseen, Olivia wanted to make sure that no one saw that I was here. I walked toward the teacher and tugged at her hand, making her lean her head down. "I want to sing a song to close the night." She turned to look at me confused and with frowned eyebrows. "I really need this, I feel the need to get this off my chest so I can start again."

She saw the tears in my eyes and understood immediately what I was on about. She sighed with a sad smile and nodded her head at me. "Follow me." I nodded my head at her and hovered down my head as I followed behind her.

"Stay here." She walked where the band was and said something in one of the band mates ear, his eyes flicking to me as he nodded. She grabbed the microphone stand and put it in the middle as she looked at the students. "Before the night closes, we have a special guest."

She walked away and gave my hand a squeeze before I walked toward the stand. I grabbed the microphone and leaned in, closing my eyes. "Now, is all we got, and time can't be bought. I know it inside my heart, forever will forever be ours even if you try to forget love will remember."

"You said you loved me, I said I loved you back. What happened to that? What happened to that? All your promises, and all them plans we had. What happened to that? What happened to that?"

"Boom gone, yeah, you moved on. Even if you try to forget. Love will remember you, and love will remember me. I know it inside my heart, forever will, forever be ours. Even if you try to forget, love will remember. Love, love will remember."

I took a deep breath to calm my shaky voice and let it out slowly. "The trips we dreamed of takin', the tacks left on the map. What happened to that? What happened to that? When all you had was nothing, and all we did was laugh? What happened to that, what happened to that?"

"Boom gone, yeah, you moved on. Even if you try to forget. Love will remember, Love will remember, love will remember, love will remember, love will remember." I choked out in the beginning as I tried to keep my voice strong but the feeling on my chest wasn't letting me. It sounded shaky and heavy from the crying building up in my throat.

I pressed my lips together and inhaled deeply as I looked down, then back up. "Break down the walls, let heaven in. Somewhere in forever we'll dance again. We used to be inseparable. I used to think that I was irreplaceable." I choked out the irreplaceable as I tried to contain myself but I ended up pouring my heart out.

If I wanted to have a closure I needed to let it go. If I wanted to move on I needed to say how I really felt about all this. "We lit the whole world up before we blew it up. I still don't know just why you screwed it up."

I never told anyone how I felt about this except from Olivia, I never expressed myself. I let it all on my chest and now moving on was hard, but I really needed this. Love will remember but I was sick of that same old love too.

"Forever, forever, forever."

It was time to move on, time to be strong. It was harder for me because Diego and I were supposed to be together forever. Even in this werewolf world, forever isn't always and always isn't forever.

"Love will remember you, and love will remember me. I know it inside my heart, forever will, forever be ours. Even if you try to forget, love will remember, love will remember, love will remember." I pulled away from the microphone and stretched my lips into a smile when the students began to clap their hands and I mouthed a thank you, blinking my eyes while staring down.

I closed my eyes for a few seconds before leaning in the microphone. "Take away your things and go, you can't take back what you said, I know. I've heard it all before, at least a million times andI'm not one to forget, you know."

At my singing, the band started to play softly in the background. "I don't believe, I don't believe it. You left in peace, left me in pieces. Too hard to breathe, I'm on my knees right now, 'ow. I'm so sick of that same old love that, it tears me up. I'm so sick of that same old love, my body's had enough. Oh, oh, oh, oh that same old love. Oh, oh, oh oh, that same old love."

"I'm not spending any time, wasting tonight on you, I know, I've heard it all so don't you try and change your mind, cause I won't be changing too but you know. You can't believe, still can't believe it. You left in peace, left me in pieces. Too hard to breathe, I'm on my knees right now, 'ow. I'm so sick of that same old love that, it tears me up. I'm so sick of that same old love, my body's had enough. Oh, oh, oh, oh that same old love. Oh, oh, oh, oh that same old love."

"Oh, oh, so sick of that, so sick of that, so sick of that love. I'm so sick of that same old love, that, it tears me up. I'm so sick of that same old love, my body's had enough. Oh, oh, oh, oh that same old love. Oh, oh, oh, oh that same old love." The students clapped again and I pulled away with a smile. "Thank you."

I turned around and walked down the stage, the teacher pulling me into a hug as she walked me down the stage. "You were very brave tonight." She gave my arms a squeeze and smiled at me.

"Thank you." Olivia was there being supportive as always and I pulled her into a hug. "You did it, I'm so proud of you. Now let's go!" I laughed at her and leaned my head on her head as we walked away from this party and away from Diego. For the first time in forever, I felt like I was finally free. Now I can move on.

"Leanne can we talk?" So much for wanting to go away from this party and away from Diego. Olivia glared at him and dragged me past him. "I'm talking to Leanne." Olivia turned around and glared at him deadly.

"You have no right to talk to my friend. You're glad that we're at a school party because if not I would have kicked your ass right now Alpha or not for what you did to her, bastard!" Olivia told him angrily and whirled us back around, walking away from Diego.

"Leanne!?"

"Lily, I know you. Don't...He's going to hurt you again. That's what he always does." Olivia said when she saw my hesitation and I sighed but shook my head at her. "I won't go back to him okay, I'll just listen to what he has to say." I told her as I turned around, walking toward Diego. "You better make this quick Diego." I crossed my arms and ran my hands up and down them.

"Can we talk in private?" He asked me almost pleading and I slowly turned around to look at Olivia then back at him. I looked up doubtfully and sighed deeply, ending up agreeing to talk to him in private.

We walked out of the homeroom and through the dark hallways, the music playing in the background. I walked next to him without saying anything, my hands brushing up and down my arms.

"I'm sorry for what happened, I wasn't really thinking...." He trailed off as he sighed deeply, running a rough hand through his hair as we continued to walk. "Are you really off the pills?" He asked me worried and guilty.

I sighed and nodded my head. "I totally forgot about it." I shook my head with a shrug as I sighed deeply. "It's been so long and I just, didn't felt the need to use them anymore. I was mad at you, but I was mad at myself too for forgetting."

"I shouldn't have done what I did, we aren't together anymore. It's just that, no matter how hard I try, every time I see your face, it just kills me that we aren't together anymore." I don't know for how long we were walking but we were actually far away from the homeroom, we couldn't hear the music nor the students.

"I messed up big time, what we had was a whole other level. I can't believe we grew apart like this. To think we were attached to the hip and now look at us, you don't even want to be close to me anymore."

"I never thought that, one day this would happen to us. We had so much plans and I just..." I trailed off as I sagged my shoulders with a deep sigh. "It hurts, It really does. We were so in love and now, I just don't know what to feel anymore."

We stopped walking and he pulled me into a hug as I sniffed, my eyes closing as tears threatened to spill. My body shook as I cried and he rubbed my back comfortingly, letting me pour down my emotions.
