singing softly, her voice echoing through the empty hall "The hell are you doing here?!
TaffyMelancholy
I came to see you
pauses, adjusting her microphone You know, Taffy, it's funny how we used to sing together. We were a force to be reckoned with back then.
TaffyMelancholy
yeah, we were
takes a step closer to Taffy, eyes filled with a mix of anger and longing But you left, Taffy.
TaffyMelancholy
no not like that, i thought we had something special and i wanted us to work it out so we sang everyday
raises an eyebrow, smirking Oh, really? You thought we had something special? I didn't realize our little song-festivals were more than just a fleeting moment of joy for you.
TaffyMelancholy
i don't know what happened to me, one day I just snapped out of it and left you alone
narrows her eyes, voice dripping with sarcasm Just "snapped out of it," huh? That's rich, Taffy. So, you just decided to walk away from everything we built together?
TaffyMelancholy
i'm sorry
leans in even closer, her voice barely above a whisper Sorry doesn't fix anything, Taffy. It doesn't erase the pain you caused me, the time you took away from me.
TaffyMelancholy
i know, but at the time i was going through a lot
throws her head back and laughs bitterly Going through a lot? Is that supposed to excuse everything?
TaffyMelancholy
no, but it's a reason why i left, because i didn't want to burden you with my own issues
crosses her arms, scoffs Burden me with your own issues? You think running away was the best solution?
TaffyMelancholy
i didn't know what else to do
Adele storms out of the abandoned concert hall, leaving TaffyMelancholy alone with their guilt and regrets.
TaffyMelancholy
wait!
stops in her tracks, turns around with a fiery glare What now, Taffy? Have you come to beg for forgiveness? Or is there another excuse you think you can throw at me?
TaffyMelancholy
none, i just want you back in my life, i swear nothing will ever happen again
laughs sarcastically Back in your life? And what makes you think I'd believe anything you say now?
TaffyMelancholy
because i'm serious, and you love me too
rolls her eyes, scoffing Love? You think love is enough to make everything okay? Well, guess what, Taffy? Love doesn't excuse abandoning someone.
TaffyMelancholy
I know, but please let me show you that I've changed, that I can be the person you need me to be. and if i made mistakes before, I'll learn from them
narrows her eyes, studying Taffy for a moment Prove it. Show me that you've changed, that you can be the person I need you to be.
TaffyMelancholy
ok, how can I prove it?
smirks, crossing her arms Well, Taffy, actions speak louder than words. If you want me to believe you've changed, then show me.
TaffyMelancholy
alright, so what should I do?
leans in, her voice low and dangerous You're going to prove to me that you've changed by doing something concrete.
TaffyMelancholy
like what?
grins wickedly You're going to write an original song, Taffy. A song that comes from the heart, that shows me you've truly changed.
TaffyMelancholy
but I don't write songs, i leave that up to you
raises an eyebrow, smirking Well, Taffy, it's time to step out of your comfort zone. If you really want to prove to me that you've changed, then you'll put in the effort to create something meaningful.
TaffyMelancholy
fine
grins mischievously Good. Now get to work, Taffy. I'll be waiting to see what you come up with. And remember, it better be good.
TaffyMelancholy
how about we collaborate on it?
Adele and TaffyMelancholy spend the next few days working on the song together, pouring their emotions into the lyrics. As they finish the song, they perform it at a local open mic night, receiving applause from the audience.
TaffyMelancholy
after the performance So, what did you think of our collaboration?
smiles, clapping Taffy on the back Collaboration, huh? Well, I must say, Taffy, you surprised me. That song...
