You and I go hard at each other like we're going to war.
You and I go rough, we keep throwing things and slamming the door.
You and I get so damn dysfunctional, we stopped keeping score.
You and I get sick, yeah, I know that we can't do this no more.
He had stayed at her house for three days now. She wondered why he never left, other than the fact that he was attracted to trouble. And sometimes, she was just that. Trouble. He knew she had a crush on him, though he never let it get to him it seemed. It made her think that he didn't like her in the same way. It didn't matter to her.
They considered each other friends, so that was close enough. He seemed to always show up when her other side came out, and he always seemed to save her from stuff she couldn't protect herself from. She enjoyed his company, even though he could be highly annoying and over confident at times. When she told him things like that, he just chuckled, but never said anything. He knew he could be that way, and the fact it annoyed her made more entertainment for him.
Sometimes he could be so infuriating.
Yeah, but baby there you go again, there you go again, making me love you.
Yeah, I stopped using my head, using my head, let it all go.
Got you stuck on my body, on my body, like a tattoo.
And now I'm feeling stupid, feeling stupid, crawling back to you.
Every time she wanted to be alone, she couldn't. He'd just be in her head, making sure she wouldn't be doing something stupid and harmful. It made her wonder why he even cared. Yeah, they were in the friend zone, but he acted way too protective sometimes. She was 17, she'd always claim. She could take care of herself.
He would shake his head at her. He'd remind her of the times she COULDN'T protect herself. It would anger her, and she'd think about throwing a punch at him, but knew it wouldn't work. He'd "tsk tsk tsk" her every time she thought of slugging him. Then she'd roll her eyes and walk away.
So I cross my heart and I hope to die
That I'll only stay with you one more night
And I know I said it a million times
But I'll only stay with you one more night
He knew there were times she longed for him. He tried not to go to her side, but sometimes he knew she'd never forgive him if he wasn't there. Then there were times when he legitimately couldn't be there for her because there was something he had to do. She wasn't the only person he had to take care of, and she knew it.
His friends bugged him about her, but he shrugged them off. They were immature and had the brain-cells of 12 year olds half the time, so it didn't bother him. They could pick and prod at him all they wanted, but they'd never get a response out of him. They tried though. And the more they tried, the more he ignored them. God, why couldn't they act mature for once in their lives?
Try to tell you "no" but my body keeps on telling you "yes".
Try to tell you "stop", but your lipstick got me so out of breath.
I'll be waking up in the morning, probably hating myself.
And I'll be waking up, feeling satisfied but guilty as hell.
Selena was walking and talking with a friend the next time he talked to her. He caught up with them. "Hey. What's up?" he asked. Selena's friend looked at him, not recognizing him.
"Sel, who's this?" she asked.
Selena glared daggers at Blaine. "My personal stalker. Get out of here, Blaine." she told him, looking away.
"Ouch." Blaine put a hand over his heart. "Can't I just jump in to the conversation?" he asked.
"No, you can't." Selena said at the same time her friend said "Of course." Selena looked at her friend. "You're kidding, right?" she raised an eyebrow at her.
"I don't see why he can't." her friend shrugged.
Blaine smiled confidently. "Why thank you." he smiled at Selena's friend. Selena rolled her eyes as her friend blushed.
"Wait, did you say Blaine?" the friend asked.
"Blaine's the name, trouble's my game." Blaine grinned lopsidedly.
"So you're the one she'd been crushing on!" the friend said excitedly.
Selena blushed fiercely. She knew Blaine knew about the whole crush thing, but it was still embarrassing. "TRINITY!" she slapped her friend in the arm. Blaine chuckled. "That would be me."
Yeah, but baby there you go again, there you go again, making me love you.
Yeah, I stopped using my head, using my head, let it all go.
Got you stuck on my body, on my body, like a tattoo.
And now I'm feeling stupid, feeling stupid, crawling back to you.
"OMG she talks about you non stop!" Trinity told him.
"I hope she tells only good things about me." Blaine smirked, directing it at Selena, who had gone even redder in the face.
"I can't believe you." she muttered.
The rest of the walk was between Trinity and Blaine. They didn't even notice it when Selena had ditched them. Blaine frowned slightly when he noticed she was gone. "Where did Selena go?" he asked. He hadn't heard any thoughts of her planning to ditch them....
So I cross my heart and I hope to die
That I'll only stay with you one more night
And I know I said it a million times
But I'll only stay with you one more night
Selena had gone home. She couldn't stand hearing Trinity blabber on about how much Sel liked Blaine. And she couldn't believe he had shown up out of nowhere. The nerve of him! Couldn't she just go one day without him hovering over her shoulder!? Wht kind of friend would do that!?
"A protective one." Blaine said, hearing her thoughts. Selena looked over to see him in her window.
"What are you doing here, Blaine?" she mumbled, turning her gaze away, going back to doing her homework. Despite having a job and her own apartment, she was still only a Senior in high school.
"You ditched us." he shrugged. "I wanted to see why."
"Homework." Selena said simply.
"Liar. I know what you're thinking, remember?" he told her, jumping out of the window and into her room. In response, Selena gave him a mental image of her pushing him off a cliff while giving him the finger.
"Well that's hurtful." he told her, sitting on the end of her bed. "And I thought you liked me." he said in a teasing manner.
"Maybe I changed my mind." Selena told him, glancing at him.
"You know as well as I do that that's not true."
Yeah, baby, give me one more night
Yeah, baby, give me one more night
Yeah, baby, give me one more night
"It could be." Selena said. She didn't know why she said it, but she did. Blaine didn't seem fazed by it.
"Yes, it could be. But it's not, and you know it." he told her. She looked away. "Now, what's the matter?" he asked.
"Why should I tell you if you already know?" she asked, writing something on her homework paper.
He frowned, taking away the paper and pencil. "I need that." she frowned right back. "You'll get it back when you tell me what's wrong." he told her, holding it out of her reach.
"Blaine, give it back, dammit! That's due tomorrow and I don't want to fail!" she said, trying to get it back.
"No." he threw the pencil out the window and shoved the paper in the textbook she was getting the answers from, before throwing that to the side as well. She glared at him before trying to go get the book. He gabbed her wrist and pulled her back onto the bed. "Tell me what is wrong." he demanded.
Yeah, but baby there you go again, there you go again making me love you.
Yeah, I stopped using my head, using my head, let it all go.
Got you stuck on my body, on my body like a tattoo.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
"Why should I?" Selena asked.
"You'll feel better once you do. Trust me." Blaine said, not letting go of her wrist, so she couldn't go running off.
Almost against her own will, Selena spoke. "You are." she said. "You're the problem."
Blaine almost looked surprised. That wasn't what she had been thinking when he asked her.
"How?" he asked.
"Because, you just are." Selena answered. "Now let me go."
"Because isn't an answer, Selena." Blaine told her, not letting her go.
"I don't need to justify my answer, and you don't need to pry around in my personal life." Selena said, trying to pull her hand back.
"Well as your friend, don't I deserve to know?"
"You are not my friend." Selena almost growled. Blaine looked hurt when she said it. Good. Maybe now he'd back off. But he didn't. "What about me is wrong?" he asked.
"Everything." Selena said, looking away. She felt tears developing in the back of her eyes. I will not cry, I will not cry, I will not cry... she tried to tell herself. "You're annoying, infuriating, stubborn, stern and a jerk." she said. "You treat me like I'm a child, and half the time it seems like you're only making me angry so I'll push you away. You constantly get on my nerves and follow me around as if expecting me to do something wrong. Then when you say you can't take any more of my crap, you still show up at my door." she said, wiping at her eyes angrily.
Where was this all coming from?
So I cross my heart and I hope to die
That I'll only stay with you one more night
And I know I said it a million times
But I'll only stay with you one more night
"You know I like you, but you never say anything about it." Selena said. "I tell you to leave me alone, and you stay. I tell you to stay, and you leave. I don't get you. I just don't." she wiped more tears away. "You act as if you don't have any feelings, yet you're always there whenever I'm in danger. You either try to deny every thing good I say about you, or you turn cocky and arrogant. At times it's like you're pushing me away, but can't sever contact completely." she looked at her wrist, still in his grip.
Blaine stared at her. Well. He didn't see that coming. He let her hand go without saying anything. Selena didn't go any further. She was about to go get her book and tell him to get out, but before she could, he pulled her into his arms, unexpectedly, even after all the nasty things she'd just said. Despite her better judgement, she sobbed into his chest, wrapping her arms around him.
He ran a hand through her hair soothingly, his chin on her head. There was nothing more to be said. But Selena was tired and upset, so as the tears made her drift off to sleep, she spoke.
"Please stay this time....please...." she begged.
"I will." Blaine whispered. "I will...."
So I cross my heart and I hope to die
That I'll only stay with you one more night
And I know I said it a million times
But I'll only stay with you one more night
