I love you, Goodbye

"Lets keep it one at a time so we can actually understand you" I laughed. Everyone raised their hands like they were in a classroom. I decided to start with Josh. "Are they twins?" He asked. "Nope" Celeste shook her head. Then it was Payton's turn, we were kinda just going down the line. "How old were you when you had them?" Payton asked.

"I was 13 when I had my first and 14 when I had my second" Celeste nodded. Everyone gasped. "You were so young" Bryce gasped. "Shut up Bryce, that's when you lost your virginity" Nick started laughing, sending the whole room into laughter. Next was Jaden. "What are their names?" He asked. "Carmin and Emori" Celeste nodded. Next was Bryce. We spent like an hour just sitting here answering everyone's questions, I think the guys like her, Bryce definetly does because he's felt her pain and she's felt his.

Celeste

"Well it was nice meeting you guys, thank you for accepting me and fighting over who were the aunt's and who were the uncle's" I laughed. I turned to Anthony. "I kinda want to write another song so I'm gonna head upstairs" I nodded. He nodded. I stood up from the couch and headed upstairs. I walked into Anthony's room and shut the door.

I've been thinking of the lyrics for the song for a while now. It's about Zach and I's friendship. Like I said, Dani told me that whenever you're sad, write a song about whatever you're sad about, and it really helps. So that's what I did with Zach. After the dinner, Zach didn't come home for days, he was at Kay's the entire time.

And whenever he did come home, he wouldn't even look at me, we just walked past each other like strangers. I was hurt, but I didn't want to show it, but after I thought Anthony broke up with me, when the guys walked in and asked me what was wrong, I just couldn't hold it in. I keep all my feelings inside or in my music, I don't like talking about them because it doesn't do anything for me. Like whoopie someone knows I'm in pain and I have issues. What's the point.

I only had to finish the ending of the song and the lyrics were done. Then I had to figure out the music part. It didn't take me very long. About 30 minutes later, I grabbed my songbook and left Anthony's room. I stood at the top of the stairs. "Do you guys have a piano?" I called out. "Yeah, it's downstairs!" Payton called back. I walked down the stairs.

Anthony looked at me, I smiled at him and headed down the other stairs into the basement. I looked around and saw the piano. I walked over, sat down, and put the songbook on the holder. I started messing around a little until I finally made a sound that I actually liked. I decided to figure out if the guys could hear me behind the shut door.

"CAN YOU GUYS HEAR ME!?" I yelled as loud as I could. No one responded. I shrugged it off figuring if they wanted to hear the song then they wouldn't tell me if they could hear me or not. I started playing, then I started singing. I've never posted any of my music but I think I might post literally every single song I've written.

Payton

I went downstairs to check if Celeste actually found the piano, but before I could open the door, I heard her singing.

"It kinda hurts cause it's insane, yeah we walk by and it's like I don't even know you...like I never met you, I see our pictures on my phone and wonder why we didn't try, but we were just habits, thought we'd always have this. So to my ex best friend..." I stopped listening. I felt myself tearing up, she's so torn up about Zach and he doesn't even fucking care.

He doesn't care how much pain he's putting her through, he only cares about Kay. I don't understand how someone could be so stupid. I walked back into the living room and sat down. Everyone looked at me. "You good Payton?" Anthony asked. "Yeah you good man?" Bryce asked. It was so quiet, we could hear her singing. She was singing the same thing she was singing when I was by the door. Though this time, it sounded like she was crying.

Anthony looked at me. I looked at him and gave him that "mhm" look. Anthony looked like he just ordered extra pissed to go with his pissed with a side of pissed. Anthony stood up and walked down the stairs. She stopped singing then I heard anthony open the door.

Anthony

I waited for Celeste to finish singing, I heard her crying. I opened the door and walked over to her. She turned around and I pulled her into a hug. Celeste cried into my chest. I started tearing up. It makes me sad to see her so torn up, I've lost a best friend before so I know how it feels and I wouldn't wish that type of pain on any other living soul ESPECIALLY not my girlfriend.

It hurts me to see her cry so much. We were standing there for about 3 minutes, Celeste just cried into my chest, a few tears slipped out of my eyes. Anger, and sadness. Zach has put her through so much, like she told me about how he would flirt and she thought he was in to her but then he'd turn around and start talking about some other girl.

So Celeste was thinking "Okay so I'm fine with being his best friend but I can't date him because he plays with girls feelings too much" and I don't blame her. But he's never chosen one of the girls over her so we're both confused about that. Wait a minute...Celeste use to like Zach. And now she's crying over him because he left her. What if she still likes him? It's all starting to make sense to me now. I let go of Celeste and started to leave the basement.

"Where are you going?" Celeste asked. "Away from you" I scoffed. She didn't say anything. I stood there, waiting for her to come begging for me. She never came. So I stormed out of the house. I need a break from her. She's too clingy anyways. She likes Zach and had the audacity to use me to get over him? Hell no.
