This ain't for the best
My reputation's never been worse, so
You must like me for me
We can't make
Any promises now can we, babe?
But you can make me a drink

Dive bar on the east side, where you at?
Phone lights up my nightstand in the Black
Come here, you can meet me in the back
Dark jeans and your Nikes, look at you
Oh damn, never seen that color blue
Just think of the fun things we could do
'Cause I like you

This ain't for the best
My reputations's never been worse, so
You must like me for me
Yeah, I want you
We can't make
Any promises now, can we, babe?
But you can make me a drink

Is it cool that I said all that?
Is it chill that you're in my head?
'Cause I know that it's delicate (delicate)
Is it cool that I said all that?
Is it too soon to do this yet?
'Cause I know that it's delicate
Isn't it? Isn't it? Isn't it? Isn't it?
Isn't it? Isn't it? Isn't it? Isn't it?
Delicate

Third floor on the West Side, me and you
Handsome, you're a mansion with a view
Do the girls back home touch you like a do?
Long night, with your hands up in my hair
Echoes of your footsteps on the stairs
Stay here, honey, I don't want to share
'Cause I like you

This ain't for the best
My reputation's never been worse, so
You must like me for me
Yeah, I want you
We can't make
Any promises now, can we, babe?
But you can make me a drink

Is it cool that I said all that?
Is it chill that you're in my head?
'Cause I know that it's delicate (delicate)
Isn't it? Isn't it? Isn't it? Isn't it?
Isn't it? Isn't it? Isn't it? Isn't it?
Delicate

Sometimes I wonder when you sleep
Are you ever dreaming of me?
Sometimes when I look into your eyes
I pretend you're mine, all the damn time
'Cause I like you

Is it cool that I said all that?
Is it chill that you're in my head?
'Cause I know that it's delicate (delicate)
Yeah, I want you
Is it cool that I said all that?
Is it chill that you're in my head?
'Cause I know that it's delicate (delicate)
'Cause I like you
Is it cool that I said all that?
Is it chill that you're in my head?
'Cause I know that it's delicate (delicate)
Yeah, I want you
Is it cool that I said all that?
Is it too soon to do this yet?
'Cause I know that it's delicate

She knew Grant for a long time, five years to be exact. She met him when filming Arrow Season Two episodes eight and nine. She didn't have any scenes with him, though, but they were on the same set so it wasn't impossible for them to meet.

That was in 2013, and Katie didn't expect that in five years, she would call of her engagement, her fiancé left her for someone "better" (his words not hers), and she would end up in a relationship with Grant Gustin.

But hey, anything could happen right?

One thing that Katie never understood about her relationship with Grant was why he actually loved her. According to her, "my reputation is a piece of shit!" and she didn't understand why he still loved her through all the shittiness that ensued.

What she meant by referring to her reputation as a "piece of shit," was people were making her out to be another version of Taylor Swift.

No hate to Taylor, though. Katie, (who has never actually met Taylor) respected Taylor for all the good she does, and how kind she is, etc.

No, no. The media (and certain fans but we won't bring them up) make her out to be this selfish, bitch-whore who slept with the writers of Arrow to get her job back.

Now, of course, that never really happened.

She got her job back because Arrow has started to flop after they killed off Laurel Lance, and she left the show.

Her fans were pissed. (And when I say pissed, I mean pissed.)

But that's not the point.

The point is, that through all the bullshit of the past year, Thomas Grant Gustin never left her side, and loved her with all that his heart could handle.

She was lucky to have him.

She tried to be the best girlfriend she could, even though she felt like she was a train wreck most of the time.

She felt that didn't deserve him, and she had finally convinced herself that she would never be good enough for him.

She was wrong, however.

He loved her for all of her rebounds and earthquakes (sorry I felt a Taylor Swift reference was appropriate here), and he would never stop loving her.

He didn't give a damn about what the media or some asshole troll on Twitter said about her.

He loved the amazing, generous, kind woman who had one of the biggest hearts of gold that is Katie.

When he told her that, she broke down into tears in his arms and repeatedly thanked him for being an amazing man, and making her feel good about herself when she felt like shit.

She would be lost without him, and he would be lost without her.

They were each other's rocks, and if they ever lost one another, their worlds would come crashing down.

So, here is their story.
