Lousy Truth

Love Sick (Part 2)

Chris POV

I started playing. I just wrote this song last night. I felt so bad. I was about to cry, I knew. But I needed the job, I wouldn't let me pass another day without assisting to the show.
So there I was, playing this song for first time. I looked at the people. This time a table with three girls were paying attention, I smiled a little. I looked at the bar, there was only a dude with his phone and a girl drinking a beer. A guy came out from behind the bar with a mug and then gave it to someone. It was a girl with a red sweatshirt. The guy looked at me and then he said something to the girl. She looked at me.
It was Ciara, I kept playing. She looked sad, but beautiful. It hurt my heart. She would never be with me as it were one day.

Dear, I wrote you a song
Despite the fact you did me wrong.
And dear,
I don't know what the hell is going on with you,
But something ain't right.

As soon as the bus stopped, I ran to the music store. I was late, as always.
-9:15, Drew -Samara said when she saw me
-Yes, I'm so sorry. -I said running again through the store just to get behind the desk. I quickly get rid of my t-shirt to put on my employee uniform.
-So... -I heard a guy say
-I told her. -Someone else said.
-Really? And what did she answer?
-She told me that she will think about it... -I recognized that voice. Evan.
I looked above the desk and saw two preppy boys talking to each other on the classic music section. There was this blondie, Evan and his redhead friend, Luke.
-Oh, man! And what do you think she's going to say? -Luke asked
-I don't know. I hope she really get to understand my feelings -He said looking through the CD's.
What a jerk. "Understand my feelings" You don't even have feelings

You tell me that you love me,
Then you go and leave me,
Why you do this to me, baby?
I'm lovesick.

-But... you said she kissed you, right? -Luke asked putting a hand in his shoulder.
-Yes, man. -Evan said smiling. What a fool.
-So now you're the heir of the Ivory Company? -Luke said laughing
That's when I knew whom they were talking about.

I just can't eat,
I just can't sleep,
Can't do much of anything at all.
'Cause I'm sick and in love with you, dear

Dear, I wrote you this song
In hopes that you would sing along.
And dear, I've been working my ass off for you,
'Cause something ain't right.

-Chris... you can't keep doing this to yourself. -Fiara said
-Doing what? -I said uncovering my head with the sheets
-Exactly! You're doing nothing! -She said pulling the sheets
-Leave me alone-I said covering my face with the pillow
-It's been a month.. -She said sitting by my side
-I know.. -I said without looking at her
-You will be fine. Here. Get up!!!-she said taking my hand
-I don't want to... -I said taking the pillow away.
-you're getting fat. -she said with a bad face
-what?! -I said looking at my stomach. -That's not true. I'm fine.
-come on! Let's go to the gym. -She said leaving me at my room
-I won't go!
-What a fat ass... -she said  opening thw door again, rolling her eyes.

I just can't sleep,
Just can't eat,
Can't do much of anything at all.
'Cause I'm sick and in love with you, dear

-Braskfast is ready!-Fiara yelled
-I don't want to. I'm going to get a job. See ya later. -I said walking to the door
-But you haven't eaten anything since yesterday's workout -she said pointing me with a spatula
-I know, but I'm late. -I said looking at her
-All right, see ya. -She said turning around

You tell me that you love me,
Then you go and leave me,
Why you do this to me, baby?
I'm lovesick.

I walked down the street. I even left the apartment back. I just wanted to walk. I love Fiara, she's like the sister I never had. But I can't stay with her anymore. I needed this job, I needed the money.

I just can't sleep,
Just can't eat,
Can't do much of anything at all.
'Cause I'm sick and in love with you, dear.

I looked back at the people, and the girls were cheering and clapping. The guys in the bar weren't even bothered by me. But Ciara... Ciara was crying. I made her cry.
I knew that I had to do what I needed to do.
