Y/n's View

"I need some advice. There are have been some changes..." I say.

"Oh my god, you haven't reached puberty yet?" Allison asks.

"Bitch, I'm about to enter menopause and so is your old ass." I say.

Allison laughs and I smile.

"What's up?" Allison asks.

"Alexa doesn't look at me the same. I don't know if I did something wrong." I say.

Something's gotten into you
You don't really look at me the way you used to

"And a lot of people have been n telling me that she doesn't want me anymore. Almost as if she's falling out of love with me." I say.

And I'm hoping it ain't true
Every single rumor that I've heard of you

"She says she going to hang out with her friends but when I call Zendaya, she has no idea what I'm talking about. Sydney has no idea what I'm talking about." I say.

Say you were off with someone that I don't know
Callin' other people on your telephone

"Maybe she's..." Allison says.

"I know..." I say.

Kinda wish I didn't know

"I'm sorry. If you need anything or just wanna talk, call me." Allison says.

"Thank you." I say.

"I love you, Y/n." Allison says.

"I love you too." I say.

I hang up and sigh.

The front door opens and Alexa's comes in.

"I need to sigh these for me." Alexa says.

Alexa hands me an folder and I open it.

Divorce papers.

Well, fight or flight, I'd rather die

"W-What? I don't— Why?" I say.

Than have to cry in front of you

"I just don't think I'm happy." Alexa says.

"T-That's fine." I say as my voice cracks.

Fight or flight, I'd rather lie
Than tell you I'm in love with you

I grab the pen off the counter and put the folder down.

"There's someone else." Alexa says as I start to sign my name.

My eyes are welling up
As you admit there's someone new

I stop writing and put the pen down.

It's my move, fight or flight?

"I'm gonna have Liam look over this." I say shutting the folder.

"Are you fucking serious? You don't need a lawyer! There's nothing bad in there, are you stupid?" Alexa says.

"Well, I wasted 6 years of my life being with you. So, I must be. You want it so bad, you'll fucking wait." I say.

"You're acting like it's not your fault I had to find someone new. It's like you didn't want to keep me." Alexa says.

"You know what I didn't do? I didn't step out on my wife who had been trying to fix and keep our marriage together. I DID think about our son and how he shouldn't have to grow up in 2 different houses." I say.

"I tried, I really did. It's hard to keep trying when you aren't making progress." I say.

I sigh and go upstairs.

Time Skip

"Why hasn't mommy been home lately?" Nate asks.

"We're having some issues right now and I'm not sure she'll be back." I say.

"What happened?" Nate asks.

"Mommy lied to me and you. She wants to be with someone else over us." I say.

You tell me it ain't what it seems

"Mommy lies all the time. And says says she's gonna leave all the time. What's the difference?" Nate says.

Why does he knows this? He shouldn't know this.

"This time it's actually happening." I say.

"Oh..." Nate says.

"That's why the clothes are everywhere?" Nate asks.

But, baby, this is lookin' like a crime scene
There's clothes thrown on the balcony

"Yeah." I say quietly.

He hugs me tightly and I smile.

"We'll be okay." He says.

"I hope so." I say.

The door opens and Alexa comes in.

"Hey." Alexa says.

He stares at Alexa for a few minutes and turns his head. Alexa looks at me and shakes her head. She goes upstairs and I follow her.

"You just had to make my own son hate me." Alexa says.

"I told him what was going on, I can't control his emotions." I say.

Alexa shakes her head and opens the closet door.

"Why do you smell like that? Oh, you went to go see him." I say.

And you smell like perfume out a magazine

"Where are my clothes?" Alexa asks.

"I put it in a bag." I say.

"Where's the bag?" Alexa asks.

"You got about... 5 minutes until the garbage man comes." I say looking at my watch.

I'm throwing all your shit outta my window

"You fucking bitch, I'm gonna kill you!" Alexa says running outside.

I feel like me and Nate would be okay with Alexa. Like, if I never met her in the first place.

Telling you I wish that we had never spoke
Baby, I already know

Time Skip

"So there's nothing bad in these papers. The only thing that's made me raise an eyebrow was the custody section. She wants you to have full custody of Nathan." Liam says.

Well, fight or flight, I'd rather die
Than have to cry in front of you

"I can process this as soon as possible." Liam says.

Fight or flight, I'd rather lie
Than tell you I'm in love with you

I sigh and nod.

My eyes are welling up

"Or we can wait and you guys can work things out." Liam says.

"There's already someone else taking my place." I say.

As you admit there's someone new

"Oh. I'm sorry to hear." Liam says.

It's my move, fight or flight?

"Yeah..." I say quietly.

2 weeks later...

"Charlie!" Nate shouts running inside.

Tommy laughs and I smile.

"Are you okay? You need money or something?" Tommy asks.

"I'm good." I say.

"Just let me know, I got you." Tommy says

"You're the best little brother someone could ask for." I say.

"Only by 7 minutes!" Tommy says.

I laugh and he smiles.

30 minutes later...

"I just had the worst day of my life." A woman says sitting beside me.

Now there's someone at my door
Someone I've not met before

"Not worst than mine, I just finalized my divorce." I say.

"Oh, yeah? My boyfriend broke up with me for some married celebrity." The woman says.

"And who is this celebrity?" I ask.

They've got eyes like mine, a pretty smile

"I think her name's Alexa. She's married to some producer. Had a kid and everything." She says.

And they've been crying for a while

I put my drink down and look at her. I stare at her and she turns to face me.

'Cause they also didn't know

"That's you?!" She asks.

That our lover loved us both

I nod and we both laugh.

Well, fight or flight, I'd rather die

"We're gonna be good friends." She says.

Than have to cry in front of you

"Maybe a little more." I say.

Fight or flight, I'd rather lie

"You gotta buy me a drink first." She says.

Than tell you I'm in love with you

I nod and we both smile.

My eyes are welling up

"Y/n." I say holding my hand out.

As you admit there's someone new

"Isabelle." She says shaking my hand.

It's my move, fight or flight?
