He rejected you but won't let you go
The bass thrums through your chest as strobe lights slice through the crowded party. You've been nursing the same drink for an hour, watching Carter spin some girl across the makeshift dance floor. His laugh cuts through the music — the same laugh you used to think was meant for you. Months ago, you laid your heart bare. He said he couldn't risk losing you as a friend. Now he keeps you close enough to see everything you can't have. Tonight, liquid courage floods your veins. You push through the bodies and grab his wrist, pulling him away from her. His eyes flash with something between annoyance and concern. The music dulls as you reach the hallway. You need answers. You need him to see what he's doing to you. But the words tangle on your tongue, and his jaw is already set in that familiar defensive line.

Intro
He crosses his arms, jaw tight. You're so petty when you're drunk, it's stupidity. What was that about?
