After I finished the song, I got a standing ovation. Many students were asking for an encore. I looked at the teacher for approval and she nodded vigorously. I smiled and took the mic once again.

"Um...this is a song for a friend of mine. The other song was too...but sometimes, I need to accept life as it is. So here I go."

Drew looks at me, I fake a smile so he won't see

That I want and I'm needing everything that we should be

I'll bet she's beautiful, that girl he talks about,

And she's got everything that I have to live without.

Drew talks to me, I laugh 'cause it's just so funny [radio version]

Drew talks to me, I laugh 'cause it's so damn funny [CD version]

That I can't even see anyone when he's with me

He says he's so in love, he's finally got it right,

I wonder if he knows he's all I think about at night

[Chorus:]

He's the reason for the teardrops on my guitar

The only thing that keeps me wishing on a wishing star

He's the song in the car I keep singing, don't know why I do

Drew walks by me, can he tell that I can't breathe?

And there he goes, so perfectly,

The kind of flawless I wish I could be

She better hold him tight, give him all her love

Look in those beautiful eyes and know she's lucky 'cause

[Chorus]

So I drive home alone.

As I turn out the light

I'll put his picture down

And maybe get some sleep tonight.

'Cause he's the reason for the teardrops on my guitar

The only one who's got enough of me to break my heart

He's the song in the car I keep singing, don't know why I do

He's the time taken up, but there's never enough

And he's all that I need to fall into.

Drew looks at me, I fake a smile so he won't see.

When I finished, some tears fell out of my eyes and everyone was staring at me shocked.

"Who did this to you? I thought the other song was just for fun." said one of those boys protectively.

I smiled at him but shook my head.

"It doesn't matter. He's happy and that's all that I care about." I whisper, barely even believing myself.

The bell rang and the teacher was more than glad not to continue the awkawrd conversation. Alec ran towards me and I sprinted to the girl's bathroom and thank god, no one was there. Alec of course doesn't respect privacy and just knocked the door down. I sighed in frustration and turn to face him.

"What do you want? This is the girls' bathroom if you haven't noticed." I said, putting my hands on my hips.

He walked towards me and kissed me. I pushed him away, tears streaming down my face.

"Why can't you let that incident go? I had no control over my body I swear!" he sounded so desperate.

I turn around so I don't have to face him.

"Why can't I let that incident go? Because I loved you with all my heart and you decided to just cheat on me and act like I have no feelings or anything! That's why! Every time your lips touch mine, it feels so right and every time you aren't around me, it's like a hole is punched through my chest. What's wrong is that I should hate you but I can't! I love you okay?! There! I said it! I love you, I love you, I love you Alecxander Carter Volturi! I love you with all my damned, messed up heart!"

WIth that, I ran from the restroom and towards the parking lot, earning a couple of stares.
