Chereads / A Beautiful Tragedy since 2020 / Chapter 2 - Chapter 2

Chapter 2 - Chapter 2

I woke up little extra today. Why? Today feels a little different, today is the first day that I am in a relationship since birth and it makes me goosebumps. OMG! For real? I am in a relationship. I grab my phone while I am smiling like an idiot inside my room. I open my phone and I saw messages. I think this is a normal thing if you are in a relationship. To receive good morning text early in the morning, of course.

"Good morning", he says with a smiley face at the end.

"good morning to my boyfie out there", I replied. I put my phone on my chest as I sigh and smile. I am smiling again and again on my ceiling.

After a few minutes, my phone vibrates and I know that's him. He replied immediately.

"You make me happy this early morning, huh?" He says with a text that he is laughing.

"Ohh, I am sorry that is not my intention to make you feel that way. But, does it makes you happy?" I asked.

"You are not my first girlfriend but it feels like you are my first. I didn't feel this back then". He says.

Yes, I am not his first girlfriend. His ex-girlfriend is beautiful. More beautiful for me, really. As far as I know, his ex lasts like for 3 months only. I don't know the whole story why they broke up but I think that is destiny. I am not jealous that I am not his first, the important thing is his mine now. Present is way more important than the past.

I texted him that I need time to make my bed and prepare early in the morning. I need to do my routines, as usual. It's just different from now on because I need to update someone on my happenings. I am still learning and coping on what a girlfriend should and shouldn't do. I am learning, I swear.

I make my bed, comb my hair using my comb and then I went to the bathroom to do my morning skincare routine. After that I change into my clothes while listenng to one of my favorite artist...Taylor Swift.

Nice to meet you, where you been?

I could show you incredible things

Magic, madness, heaven, sin

Saw you there and I thought

"Oh, my God, look at that face

You look like my next mistake

Love's a game, wanna play?" Ay

New money, suit and tie

I can read you like a magazine

Ain't it funny? Rumors fly

And I know you heard about me

So hey, let's be friends

I'm dying to see how this one ends

Grab your passport and my hand

I can make the bad guys good for a weekend

So it's gonna be forever

Or it's gonna go down in flames

You can tell me when it's over, mm

If the high was worth the pain

Got a long list of ex-lovers

They'll tell you I'm insane

'Cause you know I love the players

And you love the game

'Cause we're young, and we're reckless

We'll take this way too far

It'll leave you breathless, mm

Or with a nasty scar

Got a long list of ex-lovers

They'll tell you I'm insane

But I've got a blank space, baby

And I'll write your name

Cherry lips, crystal skies

I could show you incredible things

Stolen kisses, pretty lies

You're the King, baby, I'm your Queen

Find out what you want

Be that girl for a month

Wait, the worst is yet to come, oh, no

Screaming, crying, perfect storms

I can make all the tables turn

Rose garden filled with thorns

Keep you second guessing like

"Oh, my God, who is she?"

I get drunk on jealousy

But you'll come back each time you leave

'Cause, darling, I'm a nightmare dressed like a daydream

So it's gonna be forever

Or it's gonna go down in flames

You can tell me when it's over, mm

If the high was worth the pain

Got a long list of ex-lovers

They'll tell you I'm insane

'Cause you know I love the players

And you love the game

'Cause we're young, and we're reckless (oh)

We'll take this way too far

It'll leave you breathless, mm (oh)

Or with a nasty scar

Got a long list of ex-lovers

They'll tell you I'm insane (insane)

But I've got a blank space, baby

And I'll write your name

Boys only want love if it's torture

Don't say I didn't, say I didn't warn ya

Boys only want love if it's torture

Don't say I didn't, say I didn't warn ya

So it's gonna be forever

Or it's gonna go down in flames

You can tell me when it's over (over)

If the high was worth the pain

Got a long list of ex-lovers

They'll tell you I'm insane (I'm insane)

'Cause you know I love the players

And you love the game

'Cause we're young, and we're reckless

We'll take this way too far (ooh)

It'll leave you breathless, mm

Or with a nasty scar (leave a nasty scar)

Got a long list of ex-lovers

They'll tell you I'm insane

But I've got a blank space, baby

And I'll write your name

Taylor songs is insane, isn't it? It sure does.

While I am preparing my breakfast, my phone vibrates again. My phone vibrates frequently these past few days because of him.

I got a message from him saying that he will go out with his mother to the market. I replied have fun and be safe. Since I started talking to him, I noticed that he is close to his mother so much. I am envy about their bond and relations. I don't know when I will be able to feel and experience that thing. That will be ages before I experience that in our house.

I can still remember the feeling when my parents became proud to me. That was a ceremony when I was in first grade. That's the last time I feel their support. I grew up where I don't seek for the support on things that I want to do. As long as I have myself and I have courage on myself, I am good. That will be enough for me.

I was startled when the door open. Because of that thinking I am pre-occupied for a moment. My bread is already toasted and so as my coffee which is ready to drink.

"You don't have school today?", my mom asked. I sigh before I answer.

"Today is Sunday". I said with no interest at all.

"Ohh, I forgot". She said and went back on what she's doing. She is peeling some potatoes over there on her lovely kitchen.

I ate my breakfast while scrolling on my social media and watching different videos. I am not comfortable eating alone like just eating. I mean, all you have to do is to eat? That is weird for me. It's either I am watching alone or I am eating with someone while exchanging stories. That would be fun for me.

I listen again to another song while I am preparing my materials for my exercise.

We were both young when I first saw you

I close my eyes and the flashback starts

I'm standin' there

On a balcony in summer air

See the lights, see the party, the ball gowns

See you make your way through the crowd

And say, "Hello"

Little did I know

That you were Romeo, you were throwin' pebbles

And my daddy said, "Stay away from Juliet"

And I was cryin' on the staircase

Beggin' you, "Please don't go, " and I said

Romeo, take me somewhere we can be alone

I'll be waiting, all there's left to do is run

You'll be the prince and I'll be the princess

It's a love story, baby, just say, "Yes"

So I sneak out to the garden to see you

We keep quiet, 'cause we're dead if they knew

So close your eyes

Escape this town for a little while, oh oh

'Cause you were Romeo, I was a scarlet letter

And my daddy said, "Stay away from Juliet"

But you were everything to me

I was beggin' you, "Please don't go, " and I said

Romeo, take me somewhere we can be alone

I'll be waiting, all there's left to do is run

You'll be the prince and I'll be the princess

It's a love story, baby, just say, "Yes"

Romeo, save me, they're tryna tell me how to feel

This love is difficult, but it's real

Don't be afraid, we'll make it out of this mess

It's a love story, baby, just say, "Yes"

Oh, oh

I got tired of waiting

Wonderin' if you were ever comin' around

My faith in you was fading

When I met you on the outskirts of town, and I said

Romeo, save me, I've been feeling so alone

I keep waiting for you, but you never come

Is this in my head? I don't know what to think

He knelt to the ground and pulled out a ring

And said, "Marry me, Juliet

You'll never have to be alone

I love you and that's all I really know

I talked to your dad, go pick out a white dress

It's a love story, baby, just say, "Yes"

Oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh, oh

'Cause we were both young when I first saw you

As I listen to it while preparing, I just can't help but imagine that "we" are the one that the love story is referring.
