《Cherry Scent》XXVIII. Revenge Song
Advertisement
I did change some lyrics to fit in the perspective of Scarlett but I do not own any part of the song!
I was waiting for karma to hit her like a bus but I think my fists are about to hit her first. "
~ Scarlett's POV ~
I parked the car and got out, I took a deep breath and walked to my house upset.
As I got to my house and unlocked the door, I felt two arms turn my around and hug my tightly.
I wrapped my arms around Jaden's neck and held onto him as if my life depended on it.
He didn't say anything, he just rubbed my back as I took a deep breath and collected my thoughts.
"Thank you."
Although it was muffled, I know he heard it since he kissed my temple and walked away.
I smiled at him and walked into the house.
"Hey Lana, where's dad?"
I greeted and asked politely as I gave her a hug, she hugged me back and told me he was at the dugout.
I nodded and made us a snack, we sat on the couch and I began to spill everything that happened at school.
Alana sat there and listened to me.
"You don't need her, if she wants to act all snobby then show her that you are unfazed and that you don't care."
Alana advised, I hugged her once more and thanked her before running upstairs.
I had about two hours before I had to get to practice but I had no idea what I was going to do.
I grabbed the notebook my mom got me and began to write a song, it was out of anger and frustration but it was also inspired by Layla.
As my thoughts were spilling onto the page, I noticed my phone was ringing.
"What's up Cora?"
"Checking in on you, the twins said you had a run in with the wicked witch from the west."

Cora said, I chuckled a bit as I continued to write the lyrics.
"Better now, writing a song about her."
I said happily.
"Definitely coming over to check it out, I'll be there in ten minutes."
"Bring Jayla!"
I said to which Cora gave me a thumbs up and hung up.
I reread my lyrics and smiled to myself, it had everything I wanted to say and more.
I decided to read the lyrics as if they were a poem, I sighed at the thought of the altercation I had with Layla and Kathryn but it's whatever.
"Brown guilty eyes and little white lies, yeah, you played dumb but I always knew.
That you'd talk to her maybe said even worse, I kept quiet so I'd stay friends with you."
I decided to grab my phone and go on my music app, my mom taught me how to use it.
I added some drums, guitar and piano.
"And ain't it funny? How you ran to her the second that we called it quits."
"And ain't it funny? How you said we were friends now it sure as hell don't look like, it."
I needed two minutes to relax, I was at the verge of tears thinking about how I had lost my best friend.
But she deserved every ounce of anger in this song.
"You betrayed me and I know that you'll never feel sorry for the way I hurt, yeah, you'd talk to her when I wasn't better, loved you at your worse but that didn't matter."
I added back up vocals when I sang the chorus, it was something definitely gave me chills.
"It took you two days, to go off and friend her. Guess you didn't leave, but you're still a traitor."
"Now you bring her around just to shut me down, show her off like she's a new trophy."
I cringed at the memory of Layla introducing me to Kathryn, she knew what she was doing and I hated her for that.

I hated myself for letting her leave my life without a fight.
"And I know if you were true, there's no damn way that you could find someone else that quickly."
It truly took Layla two days, a possible 24 hours to replace me.
But I still don't think anyone could fill in her shoes, but what scares me the most is that Layla knows everything about me.
I didn't want anything that was a secret out in the open or shared with Kathryn.
"And ain't it funny? All the twisted games, all the questions you used to avoid."
"Ain't it funny? Remember when I brought it up, you told me I was paranoid."
Although I had every right to be angry with Layla, I felt like it was my fault that we fell out.
I should have tried harder to check up on her and not let her leave my life but I didn't.
"You betrayed me and I know that you'll never feel sorry for the way I hurt, yeah, you'd talk to her when I wasn't better, loved you at your worse but that doesn't matter."
Tears filled my eyes, blurring my vision.
I just wanted to break down and never get up from bed again but that would give Layla the satisfactory of winning.
I didn't want her to win after she basically dropped me, I wanted to win.
I wanted to show her that I am better off without her no matter what.
"It took you two days to go off and friend her, guess you didn't leave, but you're still a traitor."
After that sentence, I made sure I had back up vocals and began to sing the next line.
"God, I wish that you had thought this through before I became friends with you."
"When the memories begin to fade, don't you dare forget about the way you betrayed me."
I heard my door open and looked at who was standing there, Cora walked in and hugged me.
Jayla smiled and hugged me as well as they say next to me, they read the lyrics and caught up to where I was.
"Continue, we heard you from downstairs."
I hadn't realized I went from reading from a poem and singing, my cheeks went crimson red in embarrassment.
"You betrayed, 'Cause I know that you'll never feel sorry for the way I hurt, yeah, you talked to her when I wasn't better, you gave me your word but I swear it don't matter."
"It took you two days, to go off and friend her, guess you never left but you're still, yeah you're still a traitor!"
I finished the song and they applauded me.
I smiled at them and we began to talk about Jaden, Baseball and food.
That's when Cora got a notification, she looked at me with a panic face and gulped.
"Did you see what Layla posted?"
She asked with panic attaching itself to her voice, I shook my head and laughed a bit.
I would look dumb if I were to still follow Layla after everything.
"Well, I think you should."
Jayla and I looked at each other and quickly searched up her name quickly, my heart dropped to my feet as every muscle in my bone tensed up.
@ Laylaistheman Posted!
With all the anger surging through my veins, I put my hair in a bun and changed into shorts and a croptop
I took my earrings off and put on my rings for purposes, I ran downstairs with Jayla and Cora yelling after me.
I turned around and looked at them both with my fists clenched.
I was waiting for karma to hit her like a bus but I think my fists are going to hit her first.
I ran straight to Layla who was sitting outside with Kathryn.
It. Is. About. To. Go. Down.
