I'll admit, I was wrong, what else can I say, girl?
Can't you play my head and not my heart?
I was drunk, I was gone, that don't make it right, but
I promise there were no feelings involved, mmh

"How could you do this to me?!" Y/N yelled at her boyfriend. They were in their bedroom, arguing. Y/N's makeup was running and Nate's heart was broken.

"Y/N, this was a total freak accident," Nate sighed. "Can't you blame my head and not my heart? You know I love you."

"I used to believe that, Nate. I really did. I thought you were trustworthy, but I was wrong. How am I supposed to believe that you really love me when you woke up in a girls bed this morning? I think...I think I'm done with you." Y/N was full on sobbing and was sitting on the edge of the bed.

"No, Y/N, don't say that," Nate said and leaned down and held her hands softly. "Listen, last night, I thought I needed a stress reliever so I went to the bar and hung with a few friends. I wasn't intending to get so drunk to where I would do it. I know that even though I was drunk, it was no excuse. Y/N, you've got to believe me."

She said, "Boy, tell me honestly
Was it real or just for show?", yeah She said, "Save your apologies
Baby, I just gotta know"
How long has this been goin' on?
You been creepin' 'round on me
While you callin' me "baby"

Y/N sighed and more tears rolled down her face. She so desperately wanted to believe him, but there were a few things she wanted to know.

"Tell me this honestly, Nate, is our relationship real or just for attention? Like, because you're a successful YouTuber you want everything. A cute dog, a nice home, a hot girlfriend. Is...is our relationship even real? Do you even love me?"

"Of course I do, Y/N," Nate said. "How could not? I don't care what people think about us, Y/N. All I care about is you being happy and you knowing that you're loved. Because you are."'

"One more question."

"Ask me anything, I'll answer it honestly.

"How long?" Was all she said.

"How long what?" Nate asked, happy she was talking and not yelling.

"How long have you been seeing other girls? We've been dating for three years, almost four, I'm sure there have been other times and this is the first time you're telling me."

"What? Y/N, no! I wouldn't do that!" Nate defended himself. "I can't believe you would think that!"

"It's something I want to know, Nate. That's a girlfriend's job: To be worried and make sure that she's the only woman in her boyfriend's life. I only think that because when people become more relevant, the life they live is a fake one. Like, they don't care about what others think as long as their fans are happy. I just want to make sure you're not one of those people."

"Of course I'm not, Y/N. Don't ever think like that."

How long has this been goin' on?
You been actin' so shady (shady)
I've been feelin' it lately, baby
Ooo-oh (yeah)
Ooo-oh (encore)
Oooh-ooh-oh

"I've noticed something, though," Y/N started. "You've been acting strange lately. Well, more strange than you usually are. I just want to make sure everything's okay in your world."

"Y/N, I'm a guy," Nate sighed. "I'm going to be strange. It's just that I've been under a lot of stress lately and I didn't think you would notice. I'm fine, just stressed. That's what life does to you. It breaks you inside and sometimes you just have to let go."

"I know that. I've been feeling something though."

"What? Feeling what?"

Anger. Betrayal. Frustration.

"Something not right," she answered. "Like something is going on and you don't want to tell me. Whatever it is, though, I want you to be aware that it hurt me."

I'll admit (I'll admit), it's my fault (my fault), but you gotta believe me
When I say it only happened once, mmh
I tried (I tried), and I tried (I tried), but you'll never see that
You're the only I wanna love, oh, yeah

"Okay, I admit, Y/N: I was wrong," Nate sighed. "This was all my fault. It's my fault you're a mess and it's my fault I put us in this mess, okay? But you have to believe me when I tell you that what happened last night was the first and last time I would do that to you."

"I don't believe that Nate," Y/N growled. "I'm sorry, but I don't."

"I try and try to treat you the best and love you as much as I can, Y/N, but you'll never see the truth. You'll never see that you're the only one that belongs in my heart."

"It's hard to believe someone who had sex with someone they've never seen before other than that one time."

She said "Boy, tell me honestly" (honestly)
"Was it real or just for show?", yeah (real or just for show?)
She said, "Save your apologies" (apologies, yeah)

"I'm going to ask you this one more time: Was this real or fake?" Y/N asked.

"Real. 100% real." Nate answered without hesitation.

"Then save your apologies. They mean nothing to me."

"What? Why?"

"Baby, I just gotta know"
How long has this been goin' on?
You been creepin' 'round on me (on me)
While you callin' me "baby" (baby)
How long has this been goin' on?

"This isn't the first time you've done this and I know it won't be the last if we stay together. I'm done. I can't be around someone who lies about love, Nate. I used to love you, but every day it's harder to. I hope you realize that my life is important too. Have a nice life."

Nate wanted to protest, but he knew she wouldn't listen. Instead, he just watched Y/N pack her bags and leave. He wanted her to stay, he wanted her to believe him, but it wasn't meant to be. He wasn't mean to be happy.

"Maybe one day you'll find humanity, Nate," was the last thing she said before leaving him forever.
