Mistake or Fate? (Book 1) *BEING EDITED*

Chapter 19 - Goodbye My Almost Lover, Hello My Bestest Friends

(Sydney's P.O.V.)

My phone began to ring, so I walked over to where it was and picked it up. I looked at it and just stared for a moment. Why the hell would David be calling me?

"Uhh....hey guys I gotta take this. I'll be right back." I said and went towards the bacement door. I walked down the stairs while answering the call. I walked over to the piano bench and sat down. 

My bacement, doubles as a recording studio. The girls and I like to come down here and just sing. I was sitting on piano bench in the recording booth.

"Hello?" I said a bit shakey.

"Sydney?" he said into the resiever.

"No, it's the boogie man." I said in a sarcastic tone.

"You always were the sarcastic one." He said. laughing a bit.

"Always was, still am. Anyway, why are you calling me? We haven't talked since like the 8th grade." I said getting a bit annoyed now.

"I just....." there was a long pause before he continued. "I just miss you." Did he really just say that? "I'm so so so incredibly sorry for what I did. I didn't mean any of it. Even the getting over you part. I'm pretty sure I still haven't done that yet."

"You have no right to that. How dare you call me after three years and expect me to forgive you just like that! I cried every night for two year, hoping that you would come back. You broke my heart David, there is no way I will ever be able to forgive you for that." I said. I held back tears, not wanting to cry anymore. I was more furious then sad.

"I understand that, but.......I think I may still be in love with you......" He said. At this point the tears started to fall. I had heard enough. I was not falling for this stupid act again. 

"I waited two years for you to say that. I have wasted enough of my tears on you. I am done with you. FUCK YOU! DON'T FUCKING CALL ME OR TEXT ME EVER AGAIN!" I screamed into the phone and hung up. I sat there for a minute just crying. After a little bit, I lifted up the piano cover and began playing Almost Lover by A Fine Frenzy.

You're finger tips across my skin, palm trees swaying in the wind. Images

You sang me spanish lullibies, the sweetest sadness in your eyes. Clever trick.

Well I never wanna see you unhappy. I thought you'd want the same for me.

Goodbye my almost lover. goodbye my hopeless dream.

I'm trying not to think about you, can't you just let me be.

So long my luckless romance, my back is turned on you.

Should've known you'd bring me heartache almost lovers always do.

Meanwhile, upstairs.

(Darrian's P.O.V.)

"HARRY GIVE ME THE REMOTE!" I yelled. We were wrestling on the floor. Everyone was just laughing at us. 

"NO YOU GIVE ME THE REMOTE!" he yelled back.

"Awww look their first fight!" Paige said. Everyone just laughed more. I finally pulled the remote out of Harry's grip and sat down on the couch.

"Haha!" I said. I flipped through the channels trying to find something good. We were all just sitting quietlly when we heard a very distant 'FUCK YOU!' Paige and I exchanged worried glances. We both knew who had called Syd. We saw it in her face when she looked at the caller I.D.

"Should someone go check on her?" Liam said. The boys had looked a bit worried.

"I'll go!" Niall said about to stand up, but Paige and I looked at each other, and knew he couldn't find out.

"No Niall, I think it's best if we go." I said and with that I handed the remote to Harry, which he was excited about, and then went down to the bacement, but stopped at the bottom of the stairs when I heard the piano and singing.

We walked along a crowded street, you took my hand and danced with me. Images.

And when you left you kissed my lips. you told me you would never let me forget these images. no.

We stood there and watched. She looked so sad as she sang no. It almost hurt me to see her like this. I just wanted to run over and wrap my arms around her into a big group hung with Paige. But I also didn't want to interupt her. So I decided to just sit there and listen.

I never wanna see you unhappy, I thought you'd want the same for me.

Goodbye my almost lover, Goodbye my hopless dream.

I'm trying not to think about you, can't you just let me be.

So long my luckless romance, my back is turned on you.

Should've known you'd bring me heartache

Almost lovers always do

I squeezed my eyes shut as I listened I couldn't watch her anymore. 

---------------------------------------------------

(Sydney's P.O.V.)

I thought I heard someone come down the stairs, but I just ignored it and kept singing.

I cannot go to the ocean, I cannot try the streets at night

I cannot wake up in the morning, without you on my mind

So you're gone, and I'm haunted, And I bet you're just fine

Did I make it that easy to walk right in and out, of my life?

I just sat there crying and singing letting all the emotion I've been holding in for the past year come out. I hated David. I hated him for breaking my heart. I hated him for calling me, telling me he's still in love with me. But at the same time, a part of me was still in love. There was so much emotion in me that I almost couldn't finish the last chorus, but then I felt four arms wrap around me and I pushed through and finished the song.

Goodbye my almost lover, Goodbye my hopless dream

I'm trying not think about you, can't you just let me be.

So long my luckless romance, my back is turned on you.

Should've known you'd bring me heartache

Almost lovers always do

and with that the song was over, and I was entangled in a group hug with the bestest friends anyone could ask for.
