Peter stood off to the side slightly as his ex boyfriend, Flash, started strumming the strings of his guitar. They had broken up a few months before, and Peter just couldn't seem to get over him. He bit his lip as Flash began to sing.
I wouldn't mind being alone
I wouldn't keep checking my phone
Wouldn't take the long way home
Just to drive myself crazy
I wouldn't be losing sleep
Remembering everything
Everything you said to me
Like I'm doing lately
Peter semi recognized the song as something he and Flash had written together. He hummed softly.
You, you wouldn't be all
All that I want
Baby I could let go
He began to sing under his breath, and Flash looked up, hearing a familiar voice.
If I didn't love you I'd be good by now
I'd be better than barely getting by somehow
Yeah it would be easy not to miss you
Wonder about who's with you
Turn the "want you" off whenever I want to
If I didn't love you
If I didn't love you
Peter took a deep breath before stepping around the corner and beginning to sing the second verse.
I wouldn't still cry sometimes
Wouldn't have to fake a smile
Play it off and tell a lie
When somebody asked how I've been
I'd try to find someone new (Someone new)
It should be something I can do (I could do)
Baby if it weren't for you
I wouldn't be in the state that I'm in
(Yeah, you)
They began to sing together. A small crowd of students that they hadn't noticed gathering around them.
You wouldn't be all
All that I want
Baby, I could let go
If I didn't love you I'd be good by now
I'd be better than barely getting by somehow
Yeah it would be easy not to miss you
Wonder about who's with you
Turn the "want you" off whenever I want to
If I didn't love you
If I didn't love you
Oh, if I didn't love you
It wouldn't be so hard to see you
Know how much I need you
Wouldn't hate that I still feel like I do
If I didn't love you
Oh, if I didn't love you
If I didn't love you
If I didn't love you I'd be good by now
I'd be better than barely getting by somehow
Yeah it would be easy not to miss you
Wonder about who's with you
Turn the "want you" off whenever I want to
If I didn't love you (Yeah)
If I didn't love you
Oh, if I didn't love you
If I didn't love you
If I didn't love you
If I didn't love you
By the end, Peter was standing next to Flash. They both jumped when they heard clapping. They looked around to find classmates, and other students they didn't recognize, surrounding them. They both smiled sheepishly and jumped again when Ned put his hands on their shoulders.
"Ok, you two, talk. Now." MJ, having Ned shove them down the hall, while Shuri and Harley shooed students away.
