"Two plastic hearts with nowhere to run."

Dawn’s POV
I just stared at the text. What was I going to say to that? My boyfriend just broke up with me. I pushed everything that I was feeling to the depths of my mind. I replied by saying that I was ok with it and that I didn’t care. I pressed send and instantly felt the guilt of what I had done consume me. Why did I have to be such a bitch about this? It’s my fault. I should have tried to see him more or at least text him more. I’m just too much of an idiot to have done so. I sighed before going to my room and going to sleep. I didn’t have the energy to hit my head repeatedly against the wall.
About a month later, I got another text from him. I frowned and looked at the phone. What the hell could he possibly want? I could feel anger taking over. I looked at it. Seriously?!
Jack: We’re playing a show in town next week. If you wanted to come, I could get you some tickets and maybe some backstage passes?
Me: Why would I care that you’re playing here? I never even enjoyed watching you play anyway. You only want me there so you can shove your success in my face. Am I right? Just because you and your band is living the dream does not mean that I’m happy for you guys. So why don’t you LEAVE ME ALONE!!
Jack didn’t text back. I knew that he wouldn’t. Why would he? I just blew up in his face with lies. I would love to see his band perform. I just couldn’t bare the thought of seeing the man that I lost because of my stupidity. That’s right. It’s my fault. Me and that stupid fear of being wrong. I just couldn’t get the thought that if I texted him and he was busy then he would be upset and I would be wrong.
I glanced over at my calligraphy pen. Was I willing to go down that path again? That was before I met him and he changed my mind and healed me. I’m not whole anymore. The truth is that I gave him my heart and never asked for it back. I decided to go for it. I picked it up and started to move the metal tip across my skin over and over again, as I watched my skin slowly scratch away.
Jack’s POV
I can’t believe she just texted me that. Why would she say something like that? I thought she loved watching us perform. Was all of that a lie? I threw my phone across the room and then buried my face in the pillow of the hotel bed that I was currently laying on. I heard the door squeak open and footsteps coming toward my bed before a familiar body sat down next to me.
“I take it she said no,” the voice of my best friend, Alex, said. I didn’t want to look at him. “Was it really that bad?” I didn’t speak. I felt him get off the bed. I knew that he was going to look at the text she sent me. I knew that afterward he would try to comfort me. I also knew that I was not going to enjoy that show and I was not going to be getting any sleep for the next couple of nights. I was going to be a mess. Why wouldn’t I be? I gave her my heart and didn’t ask for it back.

Oh thanks! It's been forever since I've gotten comments or anything.
And I'm happy you like this one. It's not favorite, but it's forever there for me since it was my first ATL fic.
Oh and Idon't know if you've started the prequel but I got really stuck on it, but I have thought of just putting up all the info that wasn't explained. Ex. Why they hate Brittany so much
Anyway, thanks! :)
