I show up at the small park near my house, the one where Cole and I used to makeup in the bathroom, and the one with the tennis court I tried to OD in. I was meeting up with Cole, but while I was waiting I couldn't help but think of Mike. Fuck, why do I always go for drummers? Cole's a drummer.

"Hey" he says as he skates up to the curb, popping up his board

"Hey" I smile, embracing him in a hug, I had missed the scent of his cologne

"How was Warped Tour?" We start walking over to my tree, I had loved this tree since I had moved to this town. The tree was slanted and so easy to climb up.

"It was awesome" I smile

"What was the best part?" He asks... Andy

"I loved hanging out with Black Veil Brides, They're all like my brothers"

"That's awesome" he smiles

"Yeah, we went to LA after tour and we went to Disney Land with Pierce The Veil" I still needed to post those pictures, and a lot of other stuff

"How was that?" He smiles

"Well I cried... a lot" I laugh

"Why?"

"Those guys saved my life"

"Yeah" he nods "I couldn't imagine what I'd do if I met Slipknot"

We got quiet for a minute, and just stared into each others eyes, until he leaned forward and pressed his lips against mine. I kissed back but it didn't feel the same as it always did. There were no butterflies. I had always felt something with him, even through all the years. I felt something in the Palo Alto Tour. What was wrong?

Cole puts his hand on my thigh, and all I could think about was Mike. I flinch a little, and as his fingers go all the way up, I pull away, "what's wrong?"

"I-Nothing" I kiss him again, and his hand goes back to my thigh, then as it slowly slides back up I cringe, and finally I pull away again

"What's wrong?" He asks angrily

"I can't" I stand up

"What do you mean you can't?" He furrows his eyebrows

"I can't do this with you" I shake my head "I haven't been able to have anything with anyone else after what you did to me. You fucked me up really bad, and I'm scared that your just going to do it again"

"The first time was different" He shakes his head

"Well what's different about it?" I ask and he stays silent "You know you never even told me why you did it"

"Because I knew you would" He spats, then his eyes go wide when he realizes what he said

"You know what Cole? Your a bastard! I spent so much time telling myself I wasn't good enough for you, but you know what? I'm too good for you. You don't deserve someone like me, who is perfect for you. You don't deserve someone who listens to the same music as you, likes the same shows as you, has the same hobbies. And who is pretty. I'm perfect for you, and good to you, but you treat me like shit so I'm done. I'm dipping the fuck out, and finding myself someone who gives a fuck about me. So have fun getting Aids you curved dick bitch!" I scream and his eyes go wide, and start watering, but I grab my board and skate away, and this time, tearless. Because he doesn't deserve my tears.
