Jasmine's POV

I sat on the edge of the stage, my converse clad feet dangling over the side, the warm sun roasting it slightly.

The turquoise sky was filled with smaller clouds, making my mood ok for once in a long time. A slight wind was drifting through the empty arena and ruffling my hair in the process.

I blinked as the sun hit me smartly across my face with its heat, but at the same time the wind was making the heat feel ok.

My hair was pulled up in a messy bun and the baggy top I was wearing covered my ripped skinny jeans. The bracelet I was wearing let of light all around me.

My guitar lay untouched across my lap as my hands supported me from the behind.

I closed my eyes and let the sun wash over my face.

In an instant it all came crashing down as the word that Karissa had said came spiralling towards me again, making me lose my focus and patience.

I picked up my guitar and strummed a long note, reminding me of a song. I positioned the guitar securely around me before strumming again.

I closed my eyes once again before opening my mouth again.

I wanna sleep next to you. But that's all I want to do

I sang thinking of the days that I spent lying next to Isac and hearing his heart beat against my own.

And I wanna come home to you, but home is just a room full of my safest sounds

I thought about the times I wanted no one but Isac, but I couldn't have him so I stayed in my room.

Because you know that I can't trust myself and my 3AM shadow, I'd rather fuel a fantasy than deal with this alone

The nights I had spent alone at 3am thinking about how much he had hurt me and crying.

I wanna sleep next to you, But that's all I wanna do right now

That day when we first got to America and I had crawled into his bed and he made me tell me what was wrong with me, and that made me feel safe for once.

So come over now and talk me down

But now, I was so close to quitting again and I just wanted his arms around me, holding me back from jumping down.

I hadn't realised I was crying until I heard someone clap.

I quickly wiped my wet face and turned around and let out a sigh.

"It's only you, "I muttered smiling.

"Why do you say that as if it's a bad thing, "Alex said smirking before sitting next to me.

"I just thought It was someone else, "I said looking into the horizon.

"Isac ... "He said, causing me to look at him.

I looked at him and I felt the tears in my eyes spurt again.

"He's over me," I said blandly.

"No," Alex mumbled, looking at me.

"But Karissa and he are ..... Cute, "I lied making my stomach feel uneasy.

Alex started laughing loudly making me feel even sadder.

"You and I both know that's bullshit, "He said, causing me to laugh.

I smiled at him and thought back to the first time we met.
