#20: Taken

Ross Lynch and Laura Marano song-shot
("Want You Back" Part 2)


~ ~ ~

 “Girl, that was awesome!” Raini exclaimed as the crowd that had gathered from my performance started to disperse.
I scoffed. “Yeah, that girl needs to know that Ross is mine and no one else can have him.”
“So, you’re saying that you still have feelings for him?” Raini asked. “What about—“
“Noah, yadda yadda.” I finished. “I don’t like him anymore and you know what? I’m breaking up with him.”           
“When?” Raini questioned.



“Now…on the phone.” I replied as I took out my phone from my jeans pocket and dialed Noah’s number.
At exactly five seconds of ringing, Noah answered.
“Hello?”
“Hey Noah, it’s me Laura. I just called to say—“
“I love you. I know.” Noah interrupted.
“No. Actually, I’m breaking up with you. I’m sorry. Bye!” I said before hanging up.
Raini stared at me in disbelief as I stuffed my phone back in my pocket. “Wow. You do know how to break up with a guy.” She commented.
I laughed before wrapping my arm around her shoulder. “Come on, let’s go home. I’m tired from all the awesomeness I did.”
Raini laughed. “Yeah…”
As we were about to exit the venue, someone cleared his throat on the microphone getting everyone’s attention.
“Hi, I’m Ross. And I want to sing a song in response to Laura a while ago.” He announced and it made me turn around.
I crossed my arms over my chest as Ross caught my eyes and we held our gazes throughout the song.


Now that you can't have me
You suddenly want me
Now that I'm with somebody else
You tell me you love me
I slept on your doorstep
Begging for one chance
Now that I finally moved on
You say that you missed me all along

Who do you think you are?
Who do you think I am?
You only love to see me breaking
You only want me cause I'm taken
You don't really want my heart
No, you just like to know you can
Still be the one who gets it breaking
You only want me when I'm taken

You're messing with my head
Girl that's what you do best
Saying there's nothing you won't do
To get me to say yes
You're impossible to resist
But I wouldn't bet your heart on it
It's like I'm finally awake
And you're just a beautiful mistake

Who do you think you are?
Who do you think I am?
You only love to see me breaking
You only want me cause I'm taken
You don't really want my heart
No, you just like to know you can
Still be the one who gets it breaking
You only want me when I'm taken

Thank you for showing me
Who you are underneath
No, thank you, I don't need
Another heartless misery
You think I'm doing this to make you jealous?
And I know that you hate to hear this
But this is not about you anymore


Who do you think you are?
Who do you think I am?
You only love to see me breaking
You only want me cause I'm taken
You don't really want my heart
No, you just like to know you can
Still be the one who gets it breaking
You only want me when I'm taken

Now that you can't have me
You suddenly want me
I shifted uncomfortably from where I stand as I watched Olivia marched towards Ross and grabbed the microphone from him.
“Wow Laura, I guess he’s still mine. Sorry.”
I turned to my heels as a tear rolled down my cheek. I guess I was being a fool for even thinking that I can get Ross back. Maybe we aren’t really meant to be together. Maybe I should finally embrace the fact that there will be no us anymore…
…Because he has moved on, and maybe it’s time that I do too.
Goodbye, Ross. It’s great having you as my boyfriend. But if you only know, I’ll keep our memories together locked in my heart forever.
