IN THE LONELY HOUR

although you made my heart sing, to stay with you would be wrong.

Track 2: Good Thing

We talk maybe 20 times a day

And still I never say what I want to say

I thought I wouldn't need to

I guess I read you wrong

___________________________

Grace's point of view.

I sit alone in some cheap diner waiting for rain to pass. I ended my relationship just now, I watched him leave earlier. He didn't even bring me back home.

Sure, this all sounds like a cliché music video but this is true to life shit now. In fact, anaconda playing in the background isn't really fitting for this setting.

The rain turns into soft drips and drizzles on the shining pavements that looked silver. I need to talk to someone.

As soon as I sent messages to my best friends, Hannah said she'd come by where I was. The knight in shining Prius, reliable as always. Mamrie said she was busy, which I understand, Mondays were her video days.

In almost half an hour after I sent Hannah where I was, she came in wearing a black hoodie and grey sweatpants with hair pushed back.

"Full on butch today, huh Harto?" I smirked while I stood up fixing my blue dress shirt

"Shut your yaps, Helbig, I just got out of a relationship too so cut me some slack" she returned the smirk, sliding her hands in her pockets.

I stiffened up, staring at her with my mouth agape "okay, why didn't you tell me?"

Hannah looks almost offended, trying not to laugh "you want me to tell you 'omg me too, hash tag twinsies' like some basic bitch?"

"You know, I don't really know what the kids mean by basic bitch"

"Grace, back to the topic. Look, I just didn't want to sound depressing. In fact, I'm not even all that sad about it."

"Omg same here. Hashtag twinsies" I tried to sound like a teenager, mocking her last attempt

I earn a laugh from Hannah, and that's enough to cheer me up for the day.

"But no seriously, me too. It didn't affect me all that much and that's just so weird." Both of us go to her car and get in

"Maybe it's National'no-sad-breakup day' or something?" Hannah shut her door and ate some naturebox snack she had been eating on the way here I'd presume.

"Then all this would make sense" I said as a matter of factly "anyway, what's that? Give me"

"Give me a break, Grace. And It's spicy pistachios" Hannah shook it and passed it on to me before starting the engine "so, want me to take you home?"

"At your place. I don't want to eat ice cream and marathon some TV shows like a normal breakup should be" I ate a handful, taking my heels off so I could hug my knees.

Hannah grinned whilst chuckling that. It was the cute grin thing.

"My place it is"

√ track three. Stay with me.
