Hello - #4

(39) Challenge: Day 4 - 12/04/19

Song: Hello by Adele

Brett's POV

*Read the one after this, there will be two today since this one is different!

Hello, it's me

I was wondering if after all these years you'd like to meet

To go over everything

They say that time's supposed to heal ya, but I ain't done much healing

Hello, can you hear me?

I'm in California dreaming about who we used to be

When we were younger and free

I've forgotten how it felt before the world fell at our feet

[Brett's Journal Entry - Solely her point of view this chapter.]

Dear Diary,

He doesn't know I exist anymore. Why? What did I do to him for him to treat me this way? Why won't he look at me anymore? Or speak to me. Oh wait, I know. Because she's back. The one he really wants. The one he really loves. I thought for a minute that he loved me. But I guess that when we would lay in each other's arms at night and say that to each other, he was lying. Like always, just lying.

There's such a difference between us

And a million miles

I'm so dumb. I mean really, I should have known that she wouldn't stay away forever and that she would come back and they would both ride off into the sunset holding one another.

I mean that's just how it works for me. Right? That's how it works because I'm Sylvie Brett and nothing ever works out for me.

Hello from the other side

I must've called a thousand times

To tell you I'm sorry for everything that I've done

But when I call, you never seem to be home

Hello from the outside

At least, I can say that I've tried

To tell you I'm sorry for breaking your heart

But it don't matter, it clearly doesn't tear you apart anymore

I still remember the day she came back like it was yesterday... We had just gotten back to his apartment after the most amazing dinner ever and the doorbell rang. Well, me being me of course, I volunteered to answer it while he poured my favorite wine. And man do I wish I never opened that door because right on the other side was Gabby Dawson.

Yep, the same Gabby Dawson that took off and left without so much as a goodbye. Why, though? I mean everything, really, EVERYTHING was going perfect...until she showed up.

Not long after that, he told me he wanted to give them a shot again, so here I am in the most awkward situation anyone could ever be in.

So hello from the other side

I must've called a thousand times

To tell you I'm sorry for everything that I've done

But when I call, you never seem to be home

Hello from the outside

At least, I can say that I've tried

To tell you I'm sorry for breaking your heart

But it don't matter, it clearly doesn't tear you apart anymore

Maybe if I dye my hair pink he'll notice me then. I mean, one could only hope right. It's really not that hard, I just want him to acknowledge that I am still here on earth. But he won't. He probably never will now, and I guess I have to move on and live with that. Right?

Oh, well I should probably finish this and close it now or else Mouch, who has been trying to peek over my shoulder for five minutes now, will see what I've been writing and make the whole house feel even sorrier for me than they already do.

I can do this. I'll be alright.

Love,

Heart-broken Me

Author's Note: I know this is definitely different from what I write for this story, but I literally just came up with the idea minutes ago and wanted to give it a shot. Let me know what you thought, and don't forget to check out the one after this if you're reading this the day I post it. Lol. See you tomorrow!

*Thanks to the Guest who gave me the pink hair comment/Idea. I will definitely try to do more with that prompt. Thanks!
