you need to get the hell out.

A/N: VERY IMPORTANT. THERE WILL BE A SCENE OF POSSIBLE DOMESTIC ABUSE (trigger warning)!

It was the day of the show. It had been almost a whole week since I told Milo I didn't need him. I hadn't gotten any other notes or presents since then. I walked to every window and door in my house making sure it was locked. I stood outside my house and triple checked that the lock was secure. I got in my car and sat taking a deep breath as I was pulling out of my garage I saw Alan run across the street.
"Lanie, can I ask you something real quick?" He asked.
"Alan, we're literally heading to the same place. Can it wait? I don't want to be late." I said persisting.
"Can I catch a ride with you? We can talk in the car." He asked not letting the topic go.
"Fine. Get in" I said defeated as he got in the car with his bag. It was silent for a decent amount of time until we got to the gates.
"As I was saying earlier..." he began to say.
"Alan, just a sec. Hey Frank. I'm heading out for the day. No one is coming in for me today. Make sure no one comes in under my name. Even the people on my list." I said.
"Got it Miss Adalair." Frank said writing the notes down. I drove off rolling up the window.
"Okay so you're tense today. But I was gonna ask what happened between you and Milo?"
"What do you mean. We're fine nothing happened." I lied.
"Lanie, you haven't spoken to him in almost a week and don't think I haven't noticed." He said. "And plus he hasn't been able to focus during rehearsal. The producers are thinking of eliminating him first because he's acting like he doesn't wanna be here."
I thought to myself, 'I have to protect him. I have to protect him.' I glanced at Alan as I was driving and said, "Alan, I told you nothing happened. Why don't you ask Milo why he's feeling down. Why is it associated with me?" I said bluntly.
"Aren't you guys supposed to be best friends? I mean you guys have a connection. And I'm not just saying that." He said.
"We talked a little bit for the first time in years. What do you mean best friends. We were barely friends because we couldn't communicate with each other." I told him. "We're here. Am I driving you home?" I asked.
"Yes please." He said.
"Fine I'll text you when I'm done. Hopefully we'll be done at the same time." I said.

"And here to perform her never before heard single 'Boys Like You'! Lanie Adalair!" Tom announced. I walked into the stage and saw the dancers preparing to go on stage. I saw my cue and began to sing.

Mama said there'd be boys like you
Tearin' my heart in two
Doin' what you do best
Takin' me for a ride
Tellin' me pretty little lies
But with you, I can't resist

Before I met you
I never felt good enough
Before I let you in
I'd already given up
Left on read, no reply
Left me just, wonderin' why
Now I'm skeptical of love

So when you hold my hand,
Do you wanna hold my heart?
When you say you want me
Is it all of me or just one part?
So when you hold my hand
Do you wanna hold my heart?
When you say you want me

Mama said there'd be boys like you
Tearin' my heart in two
Doin' what you do best
Takin' me for a ride
Tellin' me pretty little lies
But with you I can't resist

Maybe mama doesn't always know best

I'm terrified
But I'll never let you know
Social suicide
If I ever let it show
Everything feels just right
I fall in place, we fall in line
I'll never let you go

So when you hold my hand,
Do you wanna hold my heart?
When you say you want me
Is it all of me or just one part?
So when you hold my hand
Do you wanna hold my heart?
When you say you want me
Is it all of me?
Yeah
