I Can't Love Him...Can I?
Chapter 3
Every time we enter Warped Tour, or any place with a stage, I get chills down my spine. I stare at the main stage, and imagine myself singing songs I wrote, while my adoring fans cheer me on. They get emotional when they listen to my lyrics, because I empathize with their pain. I know how it feels to be alone. Because I am alone...
My thoughts suddenly get interrupted by an aggressive tapping on my shoulder.
"Yes?" I ask.
"Are you just going to stand around like an idiot, or are you going to set up the tents?" Juliet asked me, grimacing the entire time.
"Sorry." I whisper under my breath. Juliet and I are typical sisters. We fight all the time, and, since I am the younger sibling, she gets away with bossing me around. My father passed away when I was three months old, and, a year later, my mother remarried. She married Juliet's father (obviously), and, since we were both so young, we don't really classify each other as step siblings. Just sisters.
I looked over to Andy, who had his arm around Juliet. I saw him tense up when Juliet was being mean to me. I just ignored them both and went back to the bus to get the tents.
It took about an hour to set up both tents: one for merch, and the other for signings. I was standing at the merch table, when Jake came up to me.
"Are you alright, Lex?" He asked.
"Absolutely fine!" I lied. The truth was, I was never fine. I didn't have my mother, my father favored my step sister over me, and even my best friend liked Juliet more.
I don't think I ever truly forgave Juliet for what she did to me. I was sixteen, and she was nineteen. I was dating an amazing guy named Eric. He had piercing green eyes, flippy hair and an amazing heart. I was falling really hard for him, and I told Juliet about him. I brought him over to meet my family, and, I walked out of the kitchen for five seconds. Five. I walked in to see Juliet kissing Eric. My heart shattered like glass being hit by a baseball, and my stomach was lifted into my chest. I couldn't breathe. I broke up with Eric, and I didn't talk to Juliet for days. She said that Eric kissed her, and, since we lived together and were forced to get along, I forgave her. I still wonder if it was a bad mistake.
Will I ever find love? Or did Juliet already steal it...and I'm not sure if I'm talking about Eric. We both met Andy at Warped Tour 2011. Andy and I became really close, and Juliet noticed. She didn't like it at all, and asked him out. The same day I was going to. But that's all in the past...
