Wendy's sniffles stopped finally as she picked her head up, eyes landing on the picture of her sister. "Why him?" she asked in a weak voice, more to her self than Angelica. She sighed and slumped off her bed, reaching for her star covered phone cased phone. She went onto Pandora's Box and pressed a random play list, turning the volume up to 8. 

"Call me what you wanna

I'll be what you wanna

I've been here a thousand times.

Aye, aye."

She shrugged at the song. Why not?

She started singing her heart out to the song, feelings still raw.

"Falling for another 

I don't even bother

I could do it all my life.

So tell me if you wanna 'cause I got this felling

I wanna hear u say cause I can't believe it."


"With every touch of you it's like I've started dreaming

'Cause heaven's not that far away.

And I'll be singing 

"Lalala lie- lalala lie-"."

Peter's voice echoed in the empty top floor of the house. When the tears stopped, he needed music. And this came on. 


"You're breakin' me!

"Lalala lie- lalala lie-".

You're breakin' me!"


"Lalala lie- lalala Iie-

You're breakin' me!

Lalala lie- lalala lie-"

I'm just right here dancin' down to the rhythm!" Wendy tried to let the song over power her emotions and started swaying, dancing, but when the next part hitWendy and Peter saw their vision blur as the sang the next line. "The rhythm that you play when you're breaking my heart!"

Wendy was now on the floor, crying but still singing as the pain crashed back into her like a train. "You know that I can't get you out of the system! Yeah, right from the start! You played with my heart!"

Peter was in a ball sitting on his bed, hands on his head, hot tears streaming, voice breaking. "And I'll be singin'  "lalala lie- lalala lie-  You're breakin' me

lalala lie- lalala lie- You're breaking me-

lalala lie lalal lie- You're breaking me""


"Lalala lie- lalala lie you're breaking me"

You can do whatever
I'll be here forever, spinning here inside this room
Aye aye
Won't you come on over?"

"I'm a sucker for ya 

Wishing we'll be out here soon"

Both of them couldn't sing anymore, just crying silently, faces blank, memories flashing, hearts cracking, with the rhythm of heartbreak in their head. And neither wanted to admit it but they both wanted to just look out their balconies and see each other, argue if that's what it took. Yes, it sounds cliché, but hey, high school and teenagers. That's when they start falling in love, and then. Having heartbreak.

Yes, very cliché but eeh, my other stories won't be sooo cliché, this was just a spacer i guess. I just really like this song so-
