Life with the WAGS

Queen of Mean

I'm in Malibu at Cassie's beach house. I draw something and a song plays.
I'm so tired of pretending
Where's my happy ending?
I followed all the rules
I drew inside the lines
I never asked for anything that wasn't mine
I waited patiently for my time
But when it finally came
He called her name
And now I feel this overwhelming pain
I mean, it's in my veins
I mean, it's in my brain
My thoughts are running in a circle like a toy train
I'm kinda like a perfect picture with a broken frame
I know exactly who to blame
I never thought of myself as mean
I always thought that I'd be the Queen
And there's no in-between
Cause if I can't have that
Then I would be the leader of the dark
And the bad
Now there's a devil on my shoulder
Where the angels used to be
And he's calling me the Queen
Being nice was my past time
But I've been hurt for the last time
And I won't ever let another person take advantage of me
The anger burns my skin, third-degree
Now my blood's boiling hotter than a fiery sea
There's nobody getting close to me
They're gonna bow to the Evil Queen
Your nightmare's my dream
Just wait until they fall to my wicked schemes
I never thought of myself as mean
I always thought that I'd be the Queen
And there's no in-between
Cause if I can't have that
Then I would be the leader of the dark
And the bad
Now there's a devil on my shoulder
Where the angels used to be
And he's calling me the Queen of Mean
Calling me
The Queen of Mean
Calling me, calling me
The Queen of Mean
Something is pulling me
It's so magnetic
My body is moving
Unsure where I'm headed
All of my senses have left me defenseless
This darkness around me
Is promising vengeance
The price that I'm willing to pay is expensive
There's nothing to lose
When you're lonely and friendless
So my only interest is showing this princess
That I am the Queen
And my reign will be endless!
I want what I deserve
I want to rule the world
Sit back and watch them learn
It's finally my turn
If they want a villain for a Queen
I'm gonna be one like they've never seen
I'll show them what it means
Now that I am that
I will be the ruler of the dark and the bad
'Cause the devil's on my shoulder
Where the angels used to be
And he's calling me the Queen of Mean
Calling me, calling me
Calling me
The Queen of Mean
Calling me, calling me
I want what I deserve!
After the song ends, I'm at LAX getting on a flight from Los Angeles to Kansas City. I check my bag and get on a flight. Half an hour later, my flight lands and I get on a bus to Arrowhead Stadium. I look around the stadium and I see Patrick and Travis not in a great place. I show my press badge and gain entry to the stadium. I see Patrick tapping Travis on his shoulder and he looks at me in shock. I race to the cheerleaders locker room and compose myself. It's not easy seeing an ex but I tell myself that I need to make sure that I am ready to face the music. I leave the cheerleaders locker room and I head to the press room for a huge press conference. I sit way in the back hoping Travis won't see me. The interviews are going great up until I get to interview Travis and my stomach gets knotted and I get speechless. After a few moments of awkward silence, all the reports leave so I could talk to Travis one on one. I ask him a lot of questions about the upcoming season. After Travis leaves, I sit in the press room and I text him.
Text Conversation:
Travis, are you okay?
Not really. You didn't tell me you were coming.
I was supposed to be in Malibu.
Why did you leave?
I left to cover for Sam. He got sick.
I really missed you. Seeing you here in this moment made me think about us.
I haven't had any luck with the dating game yet. No one is going through the ringer as much as I am. I was stupid for breaking up with you. Not a day goes by that I think of you. It sucks being single and I want to be completely happy with the choices I make. You're going to be going through football season and I don't want to have my heart broken from you being on the road for games.
I can't change the schedule for games!
I guess we're going to remain friends then.
Yup. I have to go. Bye.
Bye.
I can't believe how awful my conversation with Travis went. I book a hotel and I fall asleep.
