IMPORTANT: So this is pretty much meant for any of the characters. So just pick who you want for this chapter. I didn't know who to write this about. So it's up to you guys to decide.

I saved every letter you wrote me
From the moment I saw you
I knew you were mine
You said you were mine
I thought you were mine

"How could you?" You asked you voice shaking on the last syllable. You faced your supposed lover trying to catch his gaze. To look into the eyes you fell for. His eyes that held the wonders and possibilities you two had together. Until he let it all crumble. "Don't I deserve to know!" You cried out tears tumbling down your cheeks. He looked away unable to meet the scrutiny you held him under.

Do you know what Angelica said
When I told her what you'd done?
She said
"You have married an Icarus
He has flown too close to the sun"

"Do you know what Izzy said when I told her that you said you were mine? Only to find out that you weren't!" You gasped wrapping your arms around yourself as if that could keep you from falling apart at the seams. Each stupid promise ripped from you until all that was left was his lies.

Don't take another step in my direction
I can't be trusted around you
Don't think you can talk your way
Into my arms, into my arms

"Y/n." He reaches out a hand brushing it across for cheek brushing back the tears that fell.
"Don't." You pushed his hand away, letting it fall to his side. "Don't think you can talk your way back to me. Don't think you can walk back into my life with one word. Don't think I can be trusted around you." You whispered into the silence between you. He stood still for a moment until he took a step forward. "Y/n,"
"Don't."

I'm burning the letters you wrote me
You can stand over there if you want
I don't know who you are
I have so much to learn
"I don't know who you are anymore." More tears flooded your vision dulling the sight before you, his head hung low, in remorse? Doubtful.
"Why? I guess I have so much to learn about you. I thought I knew you."
"You do know me, you know me more than anyone! Please y/n calm down!" His hands fly up to push and pull through his hair.

I'm re-reading your letters
And watching them burn (burn)
I'm watching them burn (burn)
"Each night I'd re-read your letters, your texts waiting until I'd get to see you again. I waited. I guess I wasn't worth the wait was I?"
"No y/n you have it all wrong. You are enough for me!" He pleads trying to reach between the space that might have be the Grand Canyon.

You published the letters she wrote to you
You told the whole world
How you brought this girl into our bed
In clearing your name, you have ruined our lives
"I wasn't though! How you brought this girl into our bed shows that clearly." I stoped holding up a finger. "You have ruined me, and everything I've felt for you when I caught you with her." Your hands shook with anger.

Heaven forbid someone whisper
"He's part of some scheme"
Your enemy whispers
So you have to scream
I know about whispers
I see how you look at my sister

"It won't happen again! I promise," you shake your head.
"I know about the whispered gossip. I've heard it all about you. How you act, how you look at everyone. I just chose to ignore it until I saw it with my own eyes and it was to late."

Don't, I'm not naive
I have seen women around you
Don't think I don't see
How they fall for your charms
All your charms
"I'm not naive. I've seen women around you.  Don't thing I don't see how they fa for your charm. How I fell for your charms." Your voice trails off remembering the charismatic boy you fell head over heels for. The rush it gave you, that you captured his attention. That it was all just for you.

I'm erasing myself from the narrative
Let future historians wonder how Eliza reacted
When you broke her heart
You have thrown it all away
Stand back, watch it burn
Just watch it all burn

"You've thrown it all away." Your arma flung out to the sides. "Now stand back and watch it burn."

And when the time comes
Explain to the children
The pain and embarrassment
You put their mother through
When will you learn
That they are your legacy?
We are your legacy
"Explain to everyone, what you've done. The pain you've put me through. The embarrassment that I though I was enough for you, but I was only second best next to her!" You screamed into the night air.
If you thought you were mine (mine, mine)
"If you thought you would still be mine." You shake your head backing away. Away from the hopes of spend your life with him. Away from the love you once knew, Before he cheated
Don't

"Don't."
