"cause i've had my heart
broken before
and i promised i would
never let me hurt anymore
but i tore down my walls
and opened my doors
and made room for one
so baby
i'm yours"
it was just supposed to be casual.
after all, lydia had just been through...

hey normani, you got a second?
i think i already know what this is about pedro, and i promise you have nothing to worry about
i just want to know who this hayden guy is and why she posts about him so much
hayden has been her touring guitarist ever since she started touring. they're extremely tight and virtually inseparable. i'm not going to lie to you, they flirt all the time. but it's never ever lead to anything more than that, okay? you're fine.
you're sure?
positive.
okay, thanks.
you don't think it's weird that i'm acting like this, do you? i know she's not my girlfriend, but i can't help it.
i don't think it's weird at all. i know you care about her a lot and she cares about you a lot too. i think you guys are perfect for each other but she's just so weary and indecisive.
lydia on the other hand would probably get really mad and defensive if you brought it up with her.
"who're you texting?" lydia casually asked normani.
normani, not giving it much thought, replied, "pedro."
lydia's face twisted in confusion. she didn't think her two friends were that close, "why would you be texting him?"
"oh, i mean, it's nothing, really, i-" normani stammered, realizing that was a mistake.
"it's about hayden. he's asking you questions about hayden, isn't he? you know, he was acting weird when we facetimed this morning, i should've-"
"who's asking questions about me?" a voice with a heavy british accent entered the conversation. hayden walked into the room and sat down by lydia with a water bottle in his hand and his signature killer smile on his face.
lydia gave him a reassuring smile, "no one. it's just...a friend."
"you hesitated before you said friend," he winked.
lydia slapped his chest while he laughed and she picked up her phone.

pedro
what we're you talking to normani about and does it have anything to do with why you were acting weird on facetime this morning?
it's nothing lydia
no, it's clearly something
i know this is about hayden
ok, maybe it is
i knew it
he's just a friend
yeah, and i'm just your friend too, so what are you trying to say?
ok let me clarify that i'm not fucking hayden
but if i was why would that matter so much?
it wouldn't
no, it wouldn't
look i gotta go. talk to you tomorrow.
alright, good luck tonight
thanks
lydia wanted to cry. she didn't want pedro to just agree with her. she wanted him to fight her on this. to fight for her. to tell her that she was his and not hayden's. but he just agreed with her.
her sadness, however, was quickly replaced with bitterness. he didn't want to fight for her? fine. maybe she'd throw a party after the show tonight and maybe everyone would get a little too drunk and maybe she'd 'accidentally' do something really stupid. just to prove a point. maybe she'd do just that.
