Now Playing: It's Not the Same Anymore - Rex Orange County

"So, I heard that you guys wanted to listen to a story." You were in front of a crowd, guitar in your lap. "You know that's really weird to ask at a concert." You laughed, adjusting your earpiece. "But I think I figured it out."

The screen behind you started to change as you started to pluck at the strings. "Hey guys!" A you from not too long ago sat in front of a desk. You feigned shock, pointing at the screen. "Since our night together is coming to a close, we have one more song." You hoped that the crowd couldn't tell the tired look in your eyes, you hadn't slept in so long. "I'll be telling you guys the story all the while. But it might take a little while."

Loud cheers erupted from the audience. "Alright, let's start?"

"There are three girls in this story." The you in the screen let out a hum. "Let's call them; Max, Scottie, and Katie."

You were going through old boxes, picking up a picture frame. You blew on the dust, wiping it a little. The picture was visible with three girls, each with a big grin; Mikey looking at you, you were in the middle with a big grin and leaning towards Jenna.

It wasn't clear then, but it's clear now. You hadn't looked back in years since you left, you couldn't look back.

"Scottie and Max had been friends for a long time, since they were twelve. Within those years, Max realized that she was falling for her dear friend. But she couldn't. Scottie never knew of Max's feelings for her, and those feelings were never reciprocated because Scottie relied too much on Max that she couldn't feel any sort of romance towards her."

There was a clatter, making you turn towards the sound. It was an old diary. You picked it up, flipping through the pages. You coughed a little at the dust, but on the faded paper was your messy handwriting.

You could barely make out all of the words, but seeing the dates, you had a sense of what you wrote about. You could see the tear stains wrinkling and marking some of the pages. A wave of nostalgia hit you as you remembered the days that you would cry to Mikey about anything and everything.

"One day, Max ended up working with Katie, introducing the girl to Scottie. She thought nothing of it, all she could hope is that it would be for the best. Katie knew about Max's feelings for Scottie, but she never knew how Scottie felt."

"Hey! Y/n!" Mikey waved you over, making you laugh and jog over to the girl. "This is my friend, and castmate, Jenna." You smiled Jenna, holding out your hand for her to shake. You couldn't deny the fact that she was the most beautiful person you had ever seen. You weren't sure if it was just your big gay lady boner, but you felt sparks.

"Nice to meet you." You ran a hand through your hair as the three of you fell into conversation, mainly you and Jenna getting to know each other. Mikey had a dreamy smile plastered on her face as she watched you excitedly get to know her friend.

"As time went on with the three of them, Scottie found herself slowly falling for Katie and since Scottie can't keep shit to herself, she told Max. It killed Max to hear that. But the thing about Max's feelings, she loved Scottie so much, she didn't care about being loved back, all she's wanted for Scottie was to be happy. So she helped the girl subtly hint at Katie, just to see if they could figure out if there were feelings being reciprocated."
