Little Somerhalder

Shoulda Known

I walk in the coffee shop, but stop dead in my tracks when I see Joseph kissing a girl on the lips. I should have known! He would never even care about a little girl! Dad was right! I'm so stupid! Why would I ever think that a celebrity would like me?! I'm fat! I'm ugly! I'm stupid!

I walk up to Mark and slap my hands on the front counter. He jumps and turns to me. "C-can I change m-my song?" I ask and he smiles. "Anything for you, Katie. Since you already have your own guitar, go ahead!" He says and I smile. I was originally going to sing Enchanted, but now, I'm going to sing a song that expresses my feelings with Joseph right now.

"Alright ladies and gentlemen, please welcome Katie Somerhalder to the stage!" Mark says and everyone cheers. I sit on the stool then start strumming my guitar. I place my hands and the starting cords then play.

Once upon a time a few mistakes ago
I was in your sights, you got me alone
You found me, you found me, you found me
I guess you didn't care, and I guess I liked that
And when I fell hard you took a step back
Without me, without me, without me

And he's long gone when he's next to me
And I realize the blame is on me

'Cause I knew you were trouble when you walked in
So shame on me now
Flew me to places I'd never been
'Til you put me down, oh
I knew you were trouble when you walked in
So shame on me now
Flew me to places I'd never been
Now I'm lying on the cold hard ground
Oh, oh, trouble, trouble, trouble
Oh, oh, trouble, trouble, trouble

No apologies. He'll never see you cry,
Pretends he doesn't know that he's the reason why.
You're drowning, you're drowning, you're drowning.
Now I heard you moved on from whispers on the street
A new notch in your belt is all I'll ever be
And now I see, now I see, now I see

He was long gone when he met me
And I realize the joke is on me, yeah!

I knew you were trouble when you walked in
So shame on me now
Flew me to places I'd never been
'Til you put me down, oh
I knew you were trouble when you walked in
So shame on me now
Flew me to places I'd never been
Now I'm lying on the cold hard ground
Oh, oh, trouble, trouble, trouble
Oh, oh, trouble, trouble, trouble

And the saddest fear comes creeping in
That you never loved me or her, or anyone, or anything, yeah

I knew you were trouble when you walked in
So shame on me now
Flew me to places I'd never been
'Til you put me down, oh
I knew you were trouble when you walked in (you were right there, you were right there)
So shame on me now
Flew me to places I'd never been
Now I'm lying on the cold hard ground
Oh, oh, trouble, trouble, trouble
Oh, oh, trouble, trouble, trouble

I knew you were trouble when you walked in
Trouble, trouble, trouble
I knew you were trouble when you walked in
Trouble, trouble, trouble

I look at Joseph and see him smiling. I roll my eyes then got off the stage and walk over to Mark. "Who's the guy?" He asks and I laugh. "Y-you know m-me oh so w-we'll, M! I-it's just m-me being a st-stupid teen." I say and he has a look of recognition. "Is that celebrity you've been obsessed with for forever?" He asks and I nod. "Want me to rough him up?" He asks and I laugh. "Who's hurting my best friends feelings?" A brutish voice asks from behind me. Mark winces and I silently groan. "N-no one! J-just me being a st-stupid teen! I-I thought I c-could make a g-guy like me, b-but I was wrong!" I say then grab my guitar and walk out, making sure to bump my shoulder into Joes as I leave.

I walk to my room and sigh, then my phone goes off. I look at it and see a text from an unknown number.

Did I do something wrong, luv?
No, Joseph. Just my mind tricking me into thinking things I wish it wouldn't.
Are you mad at me?
I envy you! You are a celebrity! Everyone loves and adores you! Your hot! Your smart! Your rich! You have the hottest accent in the world! You could get any girl you want! Then there's me! I'm stupid! I'm ugly! I'm fat! I'm dumb! No guy would ever want to date me! I've never had a boyfriend before! I just wish I could be you for a day!

I send the text, then turn off my phone and lay down to go to sleep.
