"Welcome guys!", a man said to Dijon, Eddie, and I. He continued, "I'm so glad that you guys accepted to be apart of this team, and I hope we'll have some fun!" "Yeah, and we'll be making a lot of cool music!", a girl with brown hair said happily. "Let's introduce ourselves. I'm Mike Ahern, this girl right here is the lead singer. And her name is Claire Cottrill." "Hi! I'm Claire.", she smiled. Mike pointed toward Dijon. "Let's go around.", Mike said. "Uh, I'm Dijon. And I'll be the bass player.", Dijon said nervously. "Hello! I'm Eddie! I'll be the drummer.", Eddie grinned. Everyone looked at me. "H-hello.", I stuttered, "I'm Haley."
"Whoop! Nice to meet all of you guys!", Mike screamed. "Now! Let's get to work!" Everyone groaned, even Claire. "Come on! I swear it'll be fun!", Mike swore. Mike wasn't wrong. It was extremely fun, especially with Claire there. She was..something else. She wasn't like any other girl. She was nice, really nice. She could be cute AND hot at the same time. She was the one.
"I'm glad you're working here. Heard you were really good.", Claire came up to me. "Thanks. I..think I'm good at it.", I replied. We both giggled. "Can you show me some of your skills?", she asked while biting her lip. "What kind of skills?", I teased. "Oughh, gross!", she laughed, "I mean like...guitar skills." "I'll show ya." I grabbed my guitar and started playing "Freaking Out The Neighborhood" by Mac DeMarco. "So you've got taste?", she smiled. "Sure, I guess.", I responded. Claire started singing:
Sorry, mama
There are times I get carried away
Please, don't worry
Next time I'm home, I'll still be the same.
"Wow! You're great at singing!", I smiled. "Thanks, Haley.", she responded. After that, we would always hang out. We wouldn't dare to leave each other. Since there was no dating policy, I asked her out:
"You want a Sprite?", Claire asked me. "Yeah sure.", I replied nervously. I bit my lip and grabbed onto my thighs. "So, uh, Claire." "Yes?", she said. "So I was wondering,", I started to sweat, "if you would maybe wanna.....uh....wanna go out with me?" I closed my eyes. Claire started giggling. I looked up. She had tears in her eyes. "Oh shit, I'm sorry Claire. It was a joke, I swea-." "No.", she responded. "Of course I'll go out with you!" I exhaled. "I'm crying because..I didn't think you liked me." "What?", I said puzzled. "Of course I like you! You're talented and pretty and funny and-and....you're just so perfect for me." Claire started blushing. "I can say the same thing.", she smiled.
The longer we dated, the more toxic the relationship was.
"You wanna hang today?", Claire asked me. "No, not today, I still haven't learned the chords to your demo." "What? I sent the chords hours ago. How do you not know?!", she replied puzzled. "Sorry. I'm just a bit off today." "It's fine. Work on the chords later, come on, let's hang! We haven't hung out in weeks!" "No! I'm determined to work on this!", I protested. "Do you not care about our relationship? Just one day! Please?!", she begged. "NO! No means no! Now please, let me be." "Wow.", Claire rolled her eyes. "Do you think your job is more important than me?" "I mean yeah. I need a job to get money, I need it to live, I don't NEED you."
"Jeez, Haley. You didn't have to say it like that.", she whined. "You know what, It's fine. Have fun...learning the fucking chords to the demo." "Wait, Claire!" She shut the door.
You know the rest of the story. But I realized that I made a mistake. I understand that Claire doesn't wanna date me again but I didn't accept that. After a few arguments, we made an agreement. We could break up BUT she couldn't date anyone else. It was going well because she didn't like anyone else, could that mean I was her true love? But then that nasty Rosy appeared. I can't lie she is very attractive but that won't break my agreement with Claire. Now that I blackmailed Rosy, she can't possibly date her now.
(A/N: uhh Rosy believes in lucky love while Haley believes in true love. Which one do you believe? Also sorry for the extra chapter, I just wanted to write in Haley's perspective!)
