Stay

Chapter 17

Riley's POV

People like you always want back the love they gave away

And people like me wanna believe you when you say you've changed

I was currently in my room singing along to Taylor Swift's 1989 album, who knew her songs actually do come in handy. I haven't left the house in like two days, I've just been upset. Maybe I'm overreacting, I mean it's not like we were together or anything but he lead me didn't he?

The more I think about it now the less I know

All I know is that you drove us off the road

I can tell that Patrick and Abby are worried, but I can't help it. Jonathan was the first person I broke down to, I trusted him and everything.

Stay

Hey, all you had to do was stay

But I guess that didn't mean anything.

Had me in the palm of your hand

Then why'd you have to go and lock me out when I let you in

I thought he was different from the rest of the guys I've dated

Stay, hey, now you say you want it

Back now that it's just too late

Stay, hey, now you say you want it

Back now that it's just too late

Apparently not

All you had to do was stay

All you had to do was stay

All you had to do was stay

All you had to do was stay

Jonathan's been calling me for the past couples days but I refuse to pick up

Here you are now, calling me up, but I don't know what to say

I've been picking up the pieces of the mess you made

Speaking of the devil, his name appears across the screen of my phone

People like you always want back the love they pushed aside

But people like me are gone forever when you say goodbye

"Decline." I press throwing my phone onto the bed

Stay

Hey, all you had to do was stay

"Maybe you should just answer it?"

Had me in the palm of your hand

Then why'd you have to go and lock me out when I let you in

I look up and see Patrick leaning on my door frame

Stay, hey, now you say you want it

Back now that it's just too late

"Why? So he can get what he wants?" I get up and turn the music down a little

Well, it could've been easy

All you had to do was stay

"All I'm saying ignoring him, isn't going to fix anything."
