#19: Want You Back

A Ross Lynch and Laura Marano song-shot

~ ~ ~

There he is. I see him. He’s with that not-so-cute girl that he’s been dating ever since I broke it off with him a month ago. I strongly believe that in the world of dating and break ups, there is this three-month rule before you start seeing someone new again.

But, no, he disobeyed that rule. Because I can see him clearly from where I stand, holding hands with no other than Olivia Holt.

“Hey, who you looking at?” My on-screen and off-screen best friend, Raini Rodriguez asked.

“Oh. Just that new girl in school and my ex.” I answered.

Raini gazed at the direction I’m looking at and cooed. “Well…they’re together, but…they’re not as cute as you and Ross together.” She said.




“Agree.”

“Why did you call it off anyway?” Raini asked.

“How about you? Why are you still not hooking up with Calum?” I questioned back. I know I’m being a little mean but after seeing Ross and Olivia, my blood just boiled.

Raini gave me a dead look. “Seriously, Laura. Answer my question.”

I sighed. “Do you know the part where your relationship starts to get boring. Like the two of you are always doing the same thing until everything gets predictable?” I asked.

Raini nodded.

“Well, that’s what happened. Besides, Ross is starting to have no game so I decided to do some little upgrading.” I replied as I glanced back at Ross and Olivia and what they did turned my knuckles whiter, if that’s possible.

Olivia must’ve noticed me staring because she took Ross’s head and turned him towards her as she captured his lips with hers.

“Okay. That’s it.” I half-yelled. “Raini, hold my purse.”

“What’re you doing?” Raini asked worriedly.

“Since this is an open-mic event, I’m going to sing a little song.” I answered as I hurried up the stage.

I discussed to the band on stage what I’m going to sing as I noticed Ross, Olivia and Raini made their way up front. As I prepare to do my song, I heard Ross say something to Raini.

“This is so unlike her.” Ross said.

“Wait, you three know each other?” Olivia asked as she pointed at Ross, Raini and I.

“Laura’s actually my…ex and Raini’s her best friend.” Ross answered.

“Oh.”

Before anyone of them could say another word, I spoke. “So, I’d like to sing a song and Ross, please listen carefully because this is for you. Olivia, just stand there and watch.”

Uh!

Mmm, yeah

La la la la laaaa

Uh!

Hey, boy you never had much game

Thought I needed to upgrade

So I went and walked away way way

Now, I see you've been hanging out

With that other girl in town

Looking like a pair of clowns, clowns, clowns

Remember all the things that you and I did first?

And now you're doing them with her

Remember all the things that you and I did first?

You got me, got me like this

And now you're taking her to every restaurant

And everywhere we went, come on!

And now you're taking her to every restaurant

You got me, got me like this

Boy, you can say anything you wanna

I don't give a shh, no one else can have ya

I want you back

I want you back

Wa-want you, want you back

I broke it off thinking you'd be crying

Now I feel like shh, looking at you flying

I want you back

I want you back

Wa-want you, want you back

Please, this ain't even jealousy

She ain't got a thing on me

Tryna' rock them ugly jeans, jeans, jeans

I crouched in front of Ross as I continuously sang.

You clearly didn't think this through

If what I've been told is true

You'll be crawling back like boo hoo hoo

Remember all the things that you and I did first?

And now you're doing them with her

Remember all the things that you and I did first?

You got me, got me like this

And now you're taking her to every restaurant

And everywhere we went, come on!

And now you're taking her to every restaurant

You got me, got me like this

Boy, you can say anything you wanna

I don't give a shh, no one else can have ya

I want you back

I want you back

Wa-want you, want you back

I broke it off thinking you'd be crying

Now I feel like shh, looking at you flying

I want you back

I want you back

Wa-want you, want you back

Oooohh

I thought you'd still be mine

When I kissed you goodbye

Uh oh uh oh

Oooohh

And you might be with her

But I still had you first

Uh oh uh oh

Yeah, yeah

Yo!

Remember all the things that you and I did first?

And now you're doing them with her

Remember all the things that you and I did first?

You got me, got me like this

Boy, you can say anything you wanna

I don't give a shh, no one else can have ya

I want you back

I want you back

Wa-want you, want you back

I broke it off thinking you'd be crying

Now I feel like shh, looking at you flying

I want you back

I want you back

Wa-want you, want you back

Ooooh

I want you back

I want you back

Wa-want you, want you back

Ooooh

I want you back

I want you back

Wa-want you, want you back

Uh!

I jumped off the stage and grabbed Ross’s head and kissed him hard on the lips. I smiled through the kiss once I felt him kissing back. As we pulled apart, I looked back at Olivia, raised an eyebrow and smirked triumphantly before mouthing: “He’s mine.”
