I sighed, walking up the narrow sidewalk into the dead of night. I tapped a random woman on the shoulder who was taking a drag from her cigarette. She turned around, eyes widening at the sight of me.

"I'm sorry to bother you, but have you seen Eric out here at all?"

Her mouth was slightly agape before she forced it shut to respond, "You're his girlfriend, right?"

"That's me."

Her eyes darted around sporadically as she hesitated to respond, prompting me to raise my eyebrows at her in suspicion.

"So I take it the girl I just saw him drive away with definitely wasn't you..."

About three years ago, Sam had just begun her first serious relationship with the man of her dreams: Eric Vivian Matthews. To keep it short and sweet: he was perfect for her. They were perfect for each other and were practically inseparable. There was only one concern she had about their relationship when they had first started out though: Eric was a public figure. Asides from the vast majority of the world wanting to "keep up" with their relationship, this also meant that hundreds of woman were coming onto what was hers on the daily.

And Christ. Some of these bitches were desperate.

But because Eric was a public figure, he was also used to this whole ordeal. So, he made it a point to show Sam each and every day that these things were insignificant to him, that she was the only one who mattered. Which is why she was his and why he loved her so much. At the end of the day, love conquers all. Which is why Sam found herself engaged to him as their relationship grew. They grew together, learning to love one another more and more each day, which obviously just made their relationship grow stronger and stronger.

Though, at the end of the day, they never really were all that strong.

Which is why Sam was slowly coming to realize that she just might have made the biggest mistake of her life that night she'd accepted his proposal.

It was difficult keeping track of Eric nowadays. He was hardly home and didn't even have the common curtesy to tell her where he was or what he was doing. To top it all off, whenever he was home, he was locked in his office catching up on some work.

Due to this, Sam's friends were constantly checking up with her. No only to see if she was okay, but to warn her about Eric's whereabouts. He was frequently seen all over town with some girl he worked with. Which yeah, might seem a little weird to the blind-eye, but he was dating Sam.

If he loved her, he would be with her.

Her name was Bianca and based on what Sam's friends were trying to warn her about, this girl seemed like bad news.

Make Believe Lyrics:

I figured she was gonna break my heart regardless, regardless
I figured she was gonna break my heart regardless
So I took her out and dumped her in the garbage
The stupid bitch done turned herself into a target
Click, clack
She was gonna break my heart regardless
So I took her out and dumped her in the garbage
The stupid bitch done turned herself into a target (Yeah)
Just for talkin' nonsense, claiming she was leavin'
Not gonna happen
If I can't have you, no one can
'Cause if you leave, I'm not breathin'
I'll show you how it feels not to breathe, breathe
Inhale, exhale
You're the best, well
You're the worst, but
You're the best, hell
I ain't ever, ever gonna lose, lose
Tell me what I gotta do to prove to you
Five seconds from losing my head
Now it's time to show you what lunatics do
She was gonna break my heart regardless
So I took her out and dumped her in the garbage
The stupid bitch done turned herself into a target (Yeah)
Just for talkin' nonsense, claiming she was leavin'
I figured she was gonna break my heart regardless
So I took her out and dumped her in the garbage
The stupid bitch done turned herself into a target (Yeah)
Just for talkin' nonsense, claiming she was leavin'
Hey, where you tease?
Where you think you're goin'? When you comin' back to me?
You walked in, I'm listening to "Stan" on E, yeah, ecstacy
Matter of fact there's a bridge that my car wants to meet
Road trip on me, it'll be fun, you'll see
But you don't gotta sit in the trunk, you can sit next to me
Me and Stan, we alike, but he ain't nicer than me
He was drunk drivin', me, I'm just straight Perc-ules
My crazy thoughts and your crazy heart
'Cause we hit the bridge, that's just the start
Not afraid to die, as you can see
Life isn't real, love's make believe
My crazy thoughts and your crazy heart
'Cause we hit the bridge, that's just the start
Not afraid to die, as you can see
Life isn't real, love's make believe
