don't play song yet
rose;

i try to get out of the house as soon as possible wanting to cry badly."rose!" ethan yells but i didn't even bother to look back. i am quick to go back to the car seeing charlie there on his phone just looking at me with such pity in his eyes.

ethan;

"rose!" i yell for her to come back but this time she didn't even hesitate in leaving. i felt like such an idiot in telling her that.

you aren't the only one who fucked up, i fell too

i hear her again in my head. i wasn't the only one but yet i told her that i didn't want a relationship with her. the truth is i'm too much of a child to admit to her how scared i am to get serious with someone again.

"i was you i would go after her," i hear a voice behind me. i turn around to see jonathan with a fake smile plastered on his face. why is he advising me what to do when he was shoving his tongue down her throat not that long ago. he clearly feels something for her that she isn't giving in to.

"why are you even here? don't you have to go comfort her?" i growl but he lightly laughs at my anger

"you don't get it? do you? you're so stupid but i don't blame you," he insults me

"fuck off," i spat

he was still standing here not trying to leave or even fight with me. "it's obvious you like her so why aren't you with her," i said and he shrugs

"it's a loss, she likes you not me. you can go out there and talk to her. you're too stupid to even think i have a chance with her when you're in my way but i won't get in yours, not anymore." he said with a slight frown

"why?"

"because you're what she wants i'm not that. i won't compete with you because at the end of the day she will always pick you regardless what you do to her. no matter how hard i try i'm not the one," he tells me

he has a point, it shocks me hearing this from him. "maybe stop pretending that you don't care about her when you do," he goes on and finally walks away leaving standing in the door way where i yelled for rose to come back.

i go back inside the house searching for charlie to help me since he knows her better then anyone. but instead of charlie i find a very wasted chloe coming my way. i already fucked up by messing with her i don't need it to continue not after tonight. "hi, i've been looking for you," she slurs attempting to kiss me but i move

she looks at me confused and hurt by my rejection. "we need to leave," i tell her but she just groans

"you're no fun, where can i find a guy like the one rose has?" she starts saying catching me by surprise. guy?

"what are you talking about?" i asked as i'm holding her taking her out of the house filled with drunk dancing morons.

"the guy she's been sleeping with, she told me he can be an asshole but he has a soft side too. i am sure she likes him because of the way she talks about him.." she says and i can't help but feel even more guilt within me after i said.

i go to the place where we parked searching for car not being able to find it.

rose;

"what happened?" he asked putting his phone away but he already knew ethan had something to do with it. i shake my head hoping he got the message that i didn't want to talk about it right now. i was already a mess caused by the argument i didn't need to get worse by becoming a sobbing mess of myself.
