Lexi's View

"You have an idea, don't you?" Y/n asks.

You see right through me
How do you do that shit?

"What? I haven't even said anything." I say.

How do you do that shit?
How do you do that shit?

"You look like you have an idea, you're onto something. I can tell." Y/n says.

How do you?
How do you?

"Did you know that Cassie and Nate were sleeping together?" I ask.

How do you?
How do you?

"No, but I know you're gonna put it in that play you're writing. Why don't you tell me about it?" Y/n says sitting down.

How do you?

One thing about Y/n is that she listens to everything I have to say even if she's not interested.

You let me win, you let me ride
You let me rock, you let me slide

She has never cared for Nate or Cassie but she wants to listen to what I have to say.

Cassie and Y/n used to be best friends but Y/n and I starting dating she spent more time at our house. It didn't take her long to realize that Cassie has it out for me.

"I'm Bob Ross, the painter from PBS." I say.

They laugh and my smile disappears.

"The whole point of Halloween is to look attractive." Mom says.

"No it's not." I say.

"The whole point of life is to look attractive you've been failing at that for 17 years." Cassie says.

Everyone stares at Cassie and she shrugs.

"I think you look great baby." Y/n says breaking the silence.

And when they lookin', you let me hide
Defend my honor, protect my pride

I smile and Y/n kisses my cheek.

"Are you daydreaming?" Y/n asks.

"Huh?" I ask.

"I see you over there smiling." Y/n says smiling.

I smile and she laughs.

Time Skip

Y/n FaceTimes me and I answer it.

"Hey baby." Y/n says.

"Hi." I say.

"What you up to?" Y/n asks.

"I'm writing." I say.

"Don't stay up too late or you're gonna be cranky and try to set the world on fire in the morning." Y/n says.

The good advice I always hated
But lookin' back, it made me greater

I laugh and Y/n smiles.

"I'm not sure I should really finish writing this. Everyone might just hate me." I say.

"Who cares? It's a great play, don't worry about them. If you're worried about sitting alone at lunch, I'll always sit next to you." Y/n says.

You always told me forget the haters
Just get my money, just get my weight up

I smile and nod.

"I'm gonna go to sleep but call me in the morning." She says.

"Okay, goodnight." I say.

"Goodnight." She says before hanging up.

Time Skip

"How you feeling? You ready?" Y/n asks.

"I'm great." I say.

"You don't look it." Y/n says.

Know when I'm lyin', know when I'm cryin'
It's like you got it down to a science

"I just cried in the bathroom for 5 minutes." I say.

"Why do you keep lying to me? You know you can be honest with me." Y/n says.

Why am I tryin'? Know you ain't buyin'

"I've never been able to be honest." I say.

"Well it's different now because you got me. You can open up, more than a drunk girl talking to a stanger." She says.

I tried to fight it back with defiance

I laugh and she smiles.

You make me laugh, you make me hoarse

"I love you." I say.

You see right through me
How do you do that shit?

"I love you too." She says.

How do you do that shit?
How do you do that shit?

I smile and kiss her cheek.

How do you?
How do you?

"You're gonna kill it." Y/n says before walking away.

How do you?
How do you?

I am so in love with her.

How do you?
You see right through me

"Do you know what this about?" Maddy asks.

"But our life!" Lexi says.

"Wait, is this fucking play about us?" Maddy asks.

Maddy looks at me and I shrug.

"I'm not the one putting on a show to embarrass ME." Cassie says.

"Oh my god. Please mom, mom." Lexi says.

"Stop." Mom says.

"Lexi, I'm gonna fucking kill you." Cassie says.

Lexi disappears behind the curtain and I get up. I creep behind the curtain and find Lexi.

"She ruins everything." Lexi says crying.

And I start cryin' and I start screamin'
The heavy breathin', but what's the reason?

I hug Lexi and rub her back.

I see Maddy run in the stage and slap Cassie.

"This can't get any worse." Lexi says as they run around the stage.

"Just take deep breaths." I say holding her hands.

Control my mind, capture my soul

"Everyone is out there enjoying this... surprisingly. So just go with it. The show must go on, you wouldn't want to disappoint all those people." I say.

"You're right." Lexi says.

Okay, you're right, just let it go
Okay, you got it, it's in the can

"You got this, baby." I say wiping her tears.

You could turn a free throw to a goal

Lexi hugs me and I smile.

got the peephole to my soul

"I love you." Lexi says.

She smiles and I walk away.

Won't you just stop lookin' through me? 'Cause I can't take it

Lexi smiles and I kiss her.
