"You going to that party tonight?" Maddy asks.

"What party?" I ask.

"The New Years party. Jules didn't tell you?" Maddy says.

"No. Lately, she hasn't been including me in anything. Even when I try to include her, she says no." I say.

And, baby, just please don't go without me
I'm tired of doing it on my own

"I thought y'all were dating." Maddy says.

"So did I." I say.

And now I'm stuck here thinking what it could be
You and me

"Staring into getting used to it." I say.

And, baby, just please don't go without me
I'm tired of doing it on my own

"You can roll with us if you want." Maddy says.

"I'm good, thank you though." I say.

And now I'm stuck here thinking what it could be

"Okay. Bye bitch." Maddy says.

"Bye." I say smiling.

Maddy smiles and hangs up.

You and me

I call Jules and she answers on the last ring.

"Hi." Jules says.

"What are you doing tonight?" I ask.

"I'm going out — out with my dad." Jules says.

"That's crazy because I could've sworn that Maddy told me you were going to a New Years Party." I say.

Doing it on my own

"Why didn't you tell me? You didn't think I wanted to go with you?" I ask.

Doing, doing, doing it on my own

"You don't even celebrate New Years — you celebrate the Jewish New Year in September." Jules says.

"It doesn't matter. I shouldn't need a reason to hang out with my girlfriend." I say.

Doing, doing, doing it on my own

"It's like you don't trust me." Jules says.

Doing, doing, doing it on my own

"I'm just tired of you doing stuff without me." I say.

And, baby, just please don't go without me
I'm tired of doing it on my own

"It doesn't even feel like we're dating." I say.

And now I'm stuck here thinking what it could be
You and me

"Did you ever think that you're clingy and that I want to get away from you?" Jules asks.

And, baby, just please don't go without me
I'm tired of doing it on my own

Jules hangs up and I sigh.

And now I'm stuck here thinking what it could be
You and me

"You got a jacket I can borrow?" Tommy asks walking in my room.

"Yeah." I say pointing at the closet.

"You okay?" Tommy asks grabbing a jacket.

"Jules called me clingy because I wanted to spend time with her." I say.

"That's not being clingy — that's love. Love is wanting to always be with that person and that's what you want. Shit, we grew up with tough love from dad. We don't know how much love is too much or too little." Tommy says.

(You and me)

"You basically told me that she doesn't want to hang out with me." I say.

And, baby, just please don't go without me
I'm tired of doing it on my own

"You can hang out with me and Cassie, she won't mind." Tommy says.

"I'm good. Besides, I saw dad handing you condoms earlier." I say.

"At least I won't end up like dad — becoming a dad to twins and having to raise them by himself." Tommy says.

"Well, I know you'll be a great dad." I say.

Tommy smiles and leaves.

I call Maddy and she answers on the second ring.

"Hey, Y/n/n." Maddy says.

"Is it too late to get a ride?" I ask.

"Let me turn this bitch around." Maddy says.

I hear tires skidding and I widen my eyes.

"You got 5 minutes." Maddy says.

I smile and hang up.

20 minutes later...

I see Jules walk in and I gulp.

And now I'm stuck here thinking what it could be
You and me

"She still came without me." I say.

And, baby, just please don't go without me
I'm tired of doing it on my own

"Who cares? I'm eyeballing that alcohol." Maddy says holding onto my arm.

And now I'm stuck here thinking what we could be

I smile and we walk away.

You and me

"Maybe she just wasn't the one for you." Maddy says pouring drinks into cups.

And sometimes we fall in love with people at the wrong time

"Then who is?" I ask.

"I don't know, but it's okay to not know. We haven't even graduated yet. You have your mind on psychology and I have my mind on prostitution." Maddy says.

Sometimes, it's okay, baby (yeah)

"You're too good to be a prostitution." I say.

"See this is why I fuck with you." Maddy says.

I laugh and she smiles.

Time Skip

I hear my alarm go off and I groan.

"What?" I mumble looking at my phone.

"I'm gonna change your alarm names, they're lame." Maddy says typing on my phone.

I sigh and sit up.

This isn't my room.

I look over and see Jules laying beside me.

"I'm sorry for hanging up on you." Someone says.

Doing it on my own

"I have no idea who you are, I'm drunk as shit. But you're fine as hell, so." I say.

Doing, doing, doing it on my own

"Fuck me." I mumble.

Doing, doing, doing it on my own

"Already did." Jules says yawning.

Doing, doing, doing it on my own

"I-I gotta go." I say.

And, baby, just please don't go without me

I stand up and get dressed.

I'm tired of doing it on my own

"Y/n—" Jules says as I put my shoes on.

And now I'm stuck here thinking what it could be

I leave and sigh.

You and me

25 minutes later...

"You have to ask yourself if it's worth it. Is being left out worth the sex or the fact you can call her yours?" Dad says.

And, baby, just please don't go without me

"Your mom gave me a choice — be with her and give you and Tommy away or leave her and keep you. Being with her wasn't worth that no matter how much I loved her." Dad says.

I'm tired of doing it on my own

"I can not tell you what to do but I would personally call it quits." Dad says.

And now I'm stuck here thinking what it could be

I nod and walk away. I call Jules and she answers on the second ring.

You and me

"Hey." Jules says.

(You and me)

"This isn't really working out. It's like you don't want me. You never want to spend time with me and that's not what a relationship should be like." I say.

And, baby, just please don't go without me

"I love you and I always will. I just can't take it anymore." I say.

I'm tired of doing it on my own

"I get it. I love you too." Jules says.

And now I'm stuck here thinking what it could be

I smile and hang up.

You and me
