Face Down

"Hey, Spencer!" Ashley called down the crowded school hall. Spencer, her boyfriend, narrowed his eyes and sneered at Ashley.
"Spencer? What's wrong?" Ashley asked him, worried.
"You! You are what's wrong with me!" Spencer spat.
"What did I do wrong?" Ashley asked, feeling a rock settle in the pit of her stomach. Spencer huffed and walked faster down the hall, roughly pushing past Ashley.
"Sigh. Why does this keep happening?? I give my heart to him, and somehow I do something wrong to offend Spencer!" she wondered to herself as she stood there, feeling alone.

*Ian's pov*

Ian felt anger burning inside him.
"Oh Spencer, that son of a bitch," he muttered to himself. He walked over to Ashley and put a comforting hand oh her shoulder.
"Ashley, I saw what happened. I'm sorry Spencer is being so horrible. You didn't do anything wrong to offend him; he is just being a piece of shit," Ian said to Ashley.

*Time Skip*

In class, Ian started to write a song to let all his feelings out. Pencil scribbling, erasing, and breaking, he finally finished.

*play song*

Hey, girl, you know you drive me crazy
One look puts the rhythm in my hand.
Still I'll never understand why you hang around
I see what's going down.

Cover up with make-up in the mirror
Tell yourself, it's never gonna happen again
You cry alone and then he swears he loves you.

Do you feel like a man when you push her around?
Do you feel better now as she falls to the ground?
Well, I'll tell you, my friend, one day this world's gonna end
As your lies crumble down, a new life she has found.

A pebble in the water makes a ripple effect
Every action in this world will bear a consequence
If you wade around forever, you will surely drown
I see what's going down.

I see the way you go and say you're right again,
Say you're right again
Heed my lecture.

Do you feel like a man when you push her around?
Do you feel better now as she falls to the ground?
Well, I'll tell you, my friend, one day this world's gonna end
As your lies crumble down, a new life she has found

[2x]
Face down in the dirt,
She said, "This doesn't hurt."
She said, "I finally had enough."

One day she will tell you that she has had enough
He's coming round again.

[2x]
Do you feel like a man when you push her around?
Do you feel better now as she falls to the ground?
Well, I'll tell you, my friend, one day this world's gonna end
As your lies crumble down, a new life she has found

[2x]
Face down in the dirt,
She said, "This doesn't hurt."
She said, "I finally had enough."

*end song*

When the bell rang, Ian slipped the paper into his back pocket to give to Spencer. As he passed Spencer's locker, he sneakily pushed the folded page into the locker through the vent in the top.
"This will wake up that player," Ian muttered to himself with a satisfied smile.

The end! Hope you enjoyed!
