"I'm Bob Ross. The painter from PBS?" I say.

They laugh and my smile disappears.

Before I met you, I never felt good enough

"I think you look great." Y/n says.

"Thank you." I say smiling.

Y/n smiles and I kiss her.

"Does the beard tickle?" Rue asks.

I roll my eyes and they laugh.

2 hours later...

"How's my daughter in-law?" Mon asks.

"What?" I ask.

"How is Y/n?" Mom asks.

"She's good, she got into UCLA like she wanted." I say.

"Good for her, she deserved it." Mom says.

I smile and go upstairs.

Everyone always gets excited whenever I say I'm interested in someone. I was in one relationship and I just gave up after it... until I met Y/n.

Before I let you in, I'd already given up

Mom acts like Y/n is the best thing to happen to me and I'm starting to believe it too.

I take my phone out of my pocket and unlock it.

Y/n usually sends me goodnight texts but she didn't tonight. She also left me on read. She always responds — she responds okay to okay. Am I missing something?

Left on read, no reply, left me just wondering why
Now I'm skeptical of love

I sigh and put my phone down.

Y/n holds my hand and I smile.

So when you hold my hand, do you wanna hold my heart?

"I'm kinda mad but happy at the same time." Y/n says.

"Why?" I ask.

"I'm mad because my mom is getting married to someone who's not my dad. I'm happy because all my mom used to think about was my dad, now she's happy with someone else." Y/n says.

"Where's your dad?" Cassie asks.

"Why would you ask her that?" I ask.

"I don't know. He just left my mom and stopped calling." Y/n says.

"Oh my god, twinzies! Another fatherless child." Cassie says.

"At least I know what not to when we get married." Y/n says rubbing my hand.

When you say you want me, is it all of me or just one part?
So when you hold my hand, do you wanna hold my heart?

I smile and kiss her.

When you say you want me

Time Skip

"What wrong with you?" Mon asks.

"Y/n hasn't called me all day." I say as mom takes a sip of her wine.

"What's wrong with that? You hang out every single day. Are you not tired of her?" Mom says.

"She said she was sick but she was hanging out with Jules, it was all over Twitter." I say.

"Twitler? What the fuck is a Twitler?" Mom asks.

"That's not the point!" I say.

"Maybe she's cheating." Mom says.

"Y/n? Y/n wouldn't do that." I say.

"I've said that before... right before I got my heart broken." Mom says.

Momma said there'd be boys like you tearing my heart in two

I start to cry and mom hugs me.

"My dad cheated on my mom a bunch of times and she never said anything about it not even when all those women were leaving our house." Y/n says.

Like daddy, like daughter.

Doing what you do best

It's crazy because, I'd still want to be with her if she was cheating.

But with you, I can't resist

Time Skip

"Did I do something wrong?" Y/n asks.

I close my locker and turn the face her.

"You've been ignoring my calls." Y/n says.

"Yeah, because you ditched me to hang out with Jules. I though you were sick." I say.

"I was, Jules dragged me to a party to make me feel better. I ended up falling asleep on the couch." Y/n says.

"What? You thought I would cheat on you with Jules?" Y/n asks.

"No, I just thought you were avoiding me." I say lying.

I'm terrified, but I'll never let you know

"You know the partying life isn't for me." Y/n says.

Social suicide if I ever let it show

"It isn't for you either, that's why we're perfect for each other." Y/n says.

Everything feels just right
I fall in place, we fall in line

"I'm kinda stuck with you, so I don't have a choice." I say.

I'll never let you go

She smiles and I kiss her.

So when you hold my hand, do you wanna hold my heart?

"Mr Mathews wants to see me before class but I'll see you at lunch." Y/n says.

"I love you." Y/n says walking away.

When you say you want me, is it all of me or just one part?

"I love you too." I say.

So when you hold my hand, do you wanna hold my heart?

"You have a non-toxic relationship? Must be nice." Maddy says walking past.

When you say you want me, is it all of me? Yeah

Time Skip

"I have to be honest, I thought you were cheating on me." I say.

"What?" Y/n says.

"You didn't text or call me but there were pictures on Twitter when you looked blackout drunk. In reality you were just sleeping but my mom made it sound worse than it was." I say.

Momma said there'd be boys like you tearing my heart in two
Doing what you do best

"Even thought I thought you were lying and cheating, I knew that I would still want to be with you." I say.

Taking me for a ride, telling me pretty little lies
But with you, I can't resist (No no)

"All of that doesn't matter because I have no intentions on cheating." Y/n says.

So when you hold me, am I the only one?
Do you wanna know me, or is this all just for fun?

"With all due respect your mom is crazy." Y/n says.

Momma said there'd be boys like you tearing my heart in two
Doing what you do best

"She did have a little too much to drink that night." I say.

Taking me for a ride, telling me pretty little lies
But with you, I can't resist (No no, whoa oh)

Y/n laughs and I smile.

Maybe momma doesn't always know best
Momma said there'd be boys like you, too good to be true

"I love you." Y/n says.

Doing what you do best

"I love you too." I say.

Taking me for a ride, telling me pretty little lies

Y/n smiles and kisses me.

But for you, for you, for you, I'll take that risk
