Love Yourself (CH)

Y/n's View

"You say Cassie made you miserable. Can you give me an example?" Micheal says.

For all the times that you rained on my parade

"Hello." I say answering the phone sniffling.

"Hey, Y/n. I need your help." Cassie says.

I cough into my elbow and sigh.

"With what?" I ask.

"I'm trying to get in this party but the guy doesn't believe that we're dating. Can you come up here?" Cassie says.

And all the clubs you get in using my name

"Cassie, I have Covid." I say.

"So you're much happier after the breakup?" Micheal asks.

"The happiest." I say.

You think you broke my heart, oh girl, for goodness' sake
You think I'm cryin' on my own, well, I ain't

"Do you still care for her?" Micheal asks.

"No." I say.

And I didn't wanna write a song
'Cause I didn't want anyone thinking I still care

"She thinks I do and that's why she calls so much." I say.

I don't, but you still hit my phone up
And baby, I'll be movin' on

"Only advice I can give you is to tell her how you feel. Maybe that'll convince her to stay away." He says.

And I think you should be somethin' I don't wanna hold back
Maybe you should know that

"You didn't get back together with that girl, did you?" Mom asks.

"No." I say.

"Good." Mom says.

My mama don't like you and she likes everyone

"You were right, Cassie really was terrible." I say.

And I never like to admit that I was wrong
And I've been so caught up in my job, didn't see what's going on

"Moms are always right." Mom says.

But now I know, I'm better sleeping on my own

"You weren't right that time you insisted it wasn't early release day when it was a homeless man had to walk me home from the busy stop." I say.

"It was one time!" Mom says.

3 hours later...

I go in the bathroom and see Cassie looking in the mirror.

'Cause if you like the way you look that much
Oh baby, you should go and love yourself

I roll my eyes and she looks at me.

"I knew you couldn't get over me." Cassie says.

"I've been over you. You're the one still stuck on me." I say.

And if you think that I'm still holdin' on to somethin'
You should go and love yourself

"I'm happier than ever. And now I can hang out with my friends without you getting mad." I say.

But when you told me that you hated my friends
The only problem was with you and not them

"I think my friends are pretty cool." I say.

"They are not cool." Cassie says.

And every time you told me my opinion was wrong

"If anything I should thank you for breaking up with me." I say.

Cassie rolls her eyes and leaves.

"We're having Hutspot for dinner but you can order a pizza." Mom says.

"It's fine." I say.

"What?!" Everyone asks.

"I said I'll eat it." I say.

When I started dating Cassie I was still new to the US so she insisted that I eat American food instead. And she subtly refused to eat any Dutch food.

And tried to make me forget where I came from

"Did I miss something?" Dad asks.

"Cassie broke up with her." Tommy says.

"Oh, you okay kid?" Dad asks.

And I didn't wanna write a song
'Cause I didn't want anyone thinking I still care

"I'm great." I say.

I don't, but you still hit my phone up

"Oh, so you're ready to move on?" Dad asks.

"Yeah." I say.

And baby, I'll be movin' on

Even if I still wanted Cassie, there would be no point. Cassie when she doesn't want me.

And I think you should be somethin' I don't wanna hold back
Maybe you should know that

"And she's flirting with this influencer on Twitter." Cassie says sniffling.

"Oh my god." I mumble.

"You said you didn't even want Y/n!" I say.

"I do now!" Cassie says.

"If her mom doesn't like you, you really don't stand her chance. Her mom likes everyone but you." I say.

My mama don't like you and she likes everyone

"Y/n wouldn't take you back if her life depended on it. You broke that girl but she didn't even realize until you pulled the plug." I say.

And I never like to admit that I was wrong
And I've been so caught up in my job, didn't see what's going on

"If you love Y/n, you should want her to be happy. If she's wants to be happy she most certainly doesn't need to be with you." I say.

But now I know, I'm better sleeping on my own

All Cassie did was talk about herself. That's all she's ever done.

'Cause if you like the way you look that much
Oh baby, you should go and love yourself

If there's anyone that's gonna love her, it's herself!

And if you think that I'm still holdin' on to somethin'
You should go and love yourself

Cassie starts crying and I roll my eyes. I hang up and sigh.

Cassie really hurt Y/n so much. You could just look in Y/n's eyes see how hurt she was.

For all the times that you made me feel small

Time Skip

"How are you? You got a girlfriend yet?" I ask.

"I'm done with the high school relationships. Maybe relationships in general." Y/n says.

I fell in love, now I feel nothin' at all

"You can open up and it can feel like the best feeling in the world. Then it can become the worst feeling in the world. You never wanna go through that twice." Y/n says.

I never felt so low and I was vulnerable
Was I a fool to let you break down my walls?

"I'm sorry." I say.

'Cause if you like the way you look that much
Oh baby, you should go and love yourself

Tears fill Y/n's eyes and I hug her.

And if you think that I'm still holdin' on to somethin'
You should go and love yourself

"It'll get better... or worse possibly." I say.

'Cause if you like the way you look that much
Oh baby, you should go and love yourself

"That doesn't help." Y/n says.

And if you think that I'm still holdin' on to somethin'

I laugh and Y/n smiles.

You should go and love yourself
