“i want to grow old” for whoever it’ll be most painful to🫶
something about his words felt like tearing her own heart and allowing someone to stamp on it. this was her fault, their fault. bernie didn't want this for him, didn't want her sisters to want to hurt him, but once bella got something in her mind, it was hard for the other two to talk her down from that particular ledge.
the youngest of the nam sisters being the only one who wanted to protect luke, the only one to talk in his favour. all the eldest saw was the pain he was putting bonnie through, and maybe the pain he was putting her littlest sister through too, though bernie swore she'd never speak of that. never speak of her feelings for him, for her older sister's boyfriend.
why was he telling her this? why wasn't he trying to attack her for what the three sisters did? she was still involved, she still contributed to the terrible spell, to the magic that didn't quite go to plan. everything was scrambled in her tiny head, the head that was once ( and still is ) filled with thoughts of the man in front of her. was he even a man anymore? human? she barely knew, but she knew all her waking thoughts were still filled with him.
"luke... i'm so sorry," muffled words and she stared directly at the uneven concrete underneath her feet. what was a sorry going to do? he was already in this state. there was no antidote, no spell to turn this all around. even if there was a spell, bernie couldn't do it alone and it was clear her sisters would not help her either.
"you just... you know this is because of bonnie, right? bella would never see her hurt and you've done it far too many times. i tried, she wouldn't listen. i tried to help but you know bella," half scoffs but it wasn't a laughing matter. this was real. she had lost luke as she knew him and was sure he'd never look at her again, not even as a confidant. how could he? after his sisters tried to wipe him from their lives in the worst way they knew how to.

i want to grow up
i want to put away my childish things
i think that i'm ready to take this song off repeat
i'm tired of the party games
i'm calling their blugg
they always turn out the same
i want to grow old
i want to lay down
i want to let go
i want to grow
so i heard the bad news
nobody likes me and i'm gonna die alone in my bedroom
looking at strangers on my telephone
wouldn't you like if i believed those words?
if i'm born to lose, i'll never try and i will never learn
i've been looking at myself in the mirror
don't leave me now
oh my god, like i'm your number one fan
so iconic
i would give my life just to hold your hand
i'm your number one fan
here's the bad news
i'm coming for everyone and i'm coming on strong
new hair and new shoes
i get what i like because i do what i want
in the thick of it
will you stick up for me?
are you gonna believe that i can do it?
love me in the way that only you can
by my number one
if i see my old friends, we'll go out dancing
if we go out dancing, then we'll go to the bar
if we go to the bar, then there's gonna be drinking
if i drink, i wanna see where you are
i don't see my old friends
i don't go dancing
i don't do most things i used to do
now that i'm thinking about it i did most things to get to you
no one ever told me leaving was the easy part
i gotta stay away
leaving you was easy
now i gotta do what's hard
stay away
if i go driving, then i'll put on music
ig i put on music, then i'll play your song
if i play your song, then i think i'll lose it
end up pulled up at the front of your lawn
i don't go driving
i just stay in
every moment is a fork in the road
all my roads lead back to you
if i turn off the light, then i might start thinking
if i start thinking, i'll think of the time when you said that you love me
you said i was perfect
you said you were sorry
you said you were selgish
if i don't stop it, before i know it all the bad things never happened
you never lied or treated me bad
if you did then you'll wish you hadn't
start believing you were right and i was too dramatic
i gotta leave the light on for tonight
any little misstep, i'll be at your doorstep
talking about forgiveness, giving you my heart back
just so you can break it one more time
i never thought you knew what love was until i heard you sing a love song
with the way that you treat me i had to reach my own conclusions
i thought your heart was stone
i thought you never let your feelings show
who are you singing about now?
you sounded clear as a crystal
you sounded soft as the rainfall
every note was a lump in my throat
i knew i had to hear it all
it was like a dream to hear such a sweet melody
i knew it was for not me
i need to know who
drove to the mountains in the morning
on the way back down, i thought my breaks would broken and the road would end
i would just keep going through the air and into the pacific ocean
i'm just trying to keep my head above water
get enough sleep and drink enough water
i'm so navy blue
i'm so navy blue over you
took a train to a friend's house
feeling shaken
seems like you somehow turn up when i'm at my weakest
don't know what to say so leave it blank like silence
go back home and wait for some new change that's coming
do you know that i've been holding my breath all of this time?
weren't you going to call me when you got back?
was it all lies?
weren't you going to love me if i just did everything right?
i don't know if i like love
i think i've had enough
seems like it's alright for some
it's just i'm not one
consider this my resignation
please consider this an end
deliver this recitation to the one who did me in
i'll never love again
i don't know if i like songs
i think maybe i was wrong
to think i could make it hurt less with a chorus sing-song
consider this, cause this is it
deliver this last performance to the source from which it stems
are you happy?
