Imagine #10: Revenge Is A Dish Best Served Cold (Part 2)

*Patrick's P.O.V.*

"Partrick, aren't you being too mean to her? You asked her to assist us with work, but now all you're doing is just treating her like your own personal assistant." Pete told me while we're inside out studio. I chuckled coldly at him.

"Oh come on, this isn't near what she's done to me before." I answered him.

"But still, it's a little immature to be doing this to her, I don't know. I feel like she doesn't even remember anymore." Joe stated and I sighed.

"That's actually bothering too, no signs of familiarity towards us, it's like she's forgotten everything or maybe doesn't want to make a fuss out of it." Andy continued.

"Yes, I'm pretty sure it's because she has to stay on our good side. She definitely needs us for her to be popular or something. That's always her attitude." I said bitterly, I can even see her back in high school...the mean popular leech girl. Back then I was really meek and couldn't even fight, but now, it's a whole different story. "Seriously, what I'm doing to her is NOTHING compared to what she did to me. All I'm doing now is treating her like a maid or something, which she stupidly follows because she wants to be on our good side. This is just absolutely nothing compared to being embarrassed in front of the whole campus and I also remember her from ruining prom for me." I continued.

"Fine, calm down, tiger." Pete said while looking at me. "Just don't get too overboard, you might regret becoming the person you would hate." he murmured that made me stop, but I just chose to ignore him and continued what I'm doing. After few silent minutes, the door to our studio opened.

"Sorry I took too long, but here are your tea and coffee!" Y/N entered and I just want to grunt. Maybe it's just the initial reaction I have every time I see her because I just remember everything from high school.

She proceeded to give us our beverages handling mine lastly.

"And here's your tea, Patrick." she said and I didn't say anything to her compared to the others that thanked her.

You know, it's not really me, to be unpolite like this...but it's her were talking about, that's a different story.

We continued to work and continuously repeat this new track of over and over to get the sound we're finding. Actually, it's very late now and we're all tired already, but we have to finish this and I don't what it is but something is still missing in here.

Suddenly, I began to hear what was missing...then I realized it was Y/N harmonizing with the track.

"That's amazing!" Pete suddenly shouted which made all of us flinched. He's pointing at Y/N who seemed so shocked because she was just unconsciously singing while she's using her phone.

"What? What did I do?" she asked.

You know, I would have disagreed with this, but that was just what I need in this song. I sighed heavily and just looked at her.

"Go inside the live room, harmonized with the song and let's get this over with. Now." I said calmly and she just stood up straight and went inside the live room. "See? Just like a robot because she needs us." I whispered shout the moment she's inside the live room.

"Patrick, shut up. Let's just do this because I'm tired." he said and we continued to work.

-----------------

Hours have passed, and it's actually 3 in the morning now and Y/N and I were the only ones left in the studio. To be honest, we're done hours ago. She has recorded a perfect harmony hours ago, but I just wanted to mess with her more. I kept on telling her to repeat and repeat singing, and actually, I can hear her voice cracking now. I didn't know revenge feels so great most especially when someone's just falling for it and stupidly taking it all in.

"Okay, that's enough. You can go now." I told her and she walked out of the live room.

"Thanks." Y/N said and she was still smiling but her voice was almost nothing now. "I'll be going on ahead, be safe heading home." she continued, she looked tired but just kept on smiling.

"Yeah. Bye." I said and finally she left me alone.

I just don't know why I feel so good about this, I know I'm being mean...but maybe I'll just continue this more a little longer. I'm still having fun anyways.

-------------------

*Y/N's P.O.V.*

My throat hurts so much right now and I literally have no voice anymore, but at least I helped Patrick and the boys with their track...the only problem is, I have an important recording session tomorrow that I forgot about, now I'm screwed because I have no voice at all.

I just did all the home remedies I could to make it come back and decided not to make a single noise, hoping it would actually go back or else I'll lose one potential partner for my career. But I don't know, at least I'm working with the boys, I guess it's still a win situation.

The only thing I observed is Patrick seemed...different. He's actually really distant and not that polite like what is portrayed in the interviews, but it doesn't really bother me. As long as I'm helping them, I'm ok with it.

Hours went by fast and it's already time to go back to the studio to meet with these potential producers and I'm feeling so nervous already because of my voice. I finally arrived at the studio again, immediately going inside and I realized that the boys were there to watch me record.

"Hey, good luck, Y/N." Andy said.

"Thanks." I said with a small smile, good, I have a little bit of voice now.

After preparing, I just went inside the live room and we started recording and I'm actually shaking already because I have to admit, this isn't my strongest performance. My voice kept on cracking, I couldn't reach high notes and the producers looks dissatisfied. Finally, I finished recording and I just waited for their verdict.

"I have to be honest, I expected more Ms. Y/N." one of them said.

"I actually don't feel well today, but I can always do it agai--

"You've known it was this day where we'll having a session with you, right, Ms. Y/N? You should have remembered and took extra care until today." one of them answered and I think I'm near to cry there.

"We're very sorry, Ms. Y/N, but I do hope you'll get other producers to support you. Good day." they said and walked out of the studio, leaving me heartbroken.

I shouldn't cry, I shouldn't let anyone see me break down...I don't want them to feel bad.

I held my tears back as I walk outside with a forced smile.

"Y/N, we're sorry. We shouldn't have asked you last night." Pete said with guilt in his eyes.

"No, no, it's okay! It's not your fault, guys...besides, I'm even thankful that my voice made it in your track. I'm okay, promise." I said, pushing my voice not to crack.

They all looked at me in guilt, my especially Patrick, but it's like he doesn't want to show it too. 

"I'll just get some fresh air, okay? Don't be guilty, guys, it's not like you want to do this on purpose." I stated and walked outside, finding a private place so I can really let all these gloomy feelings go.

-----------------------

*Patrick's P.O.V.*

I honestly felt guilty...I actually didn't want this to happen, I just thought her voice would act up, but I didn't expect the producers to back out on her.

"I hope you're happy." Pete suddenly told me as three pairs of eyes looked at me in disappointment.

"I never really intended for this to happen, all I want is just ---

"When did you become this inconsiderate? You remembered, didn't you? About this recording session, she'll have and you wanted to embarrass her?" Andy stated and I sighed heavily.

"Look, I wasn't really wanting for those producers to back out on her, it's just --

"Fine, okay, just stop now. You didn't only embarrass her, you've destroyed a part of her dream." Joe said and I suddenly just became mad like I've become the bad guy here.

"Well, she did destroy a part of me before too...you know what, until I say it to her face, I won't stop. She deserved it." I told them and walked outside the studio.

I'm really becoming the person I hate, and somehow...I'm good with it.
