Aftertaste
(Shawn Mendes)

Present Day
Your's pov

   "Hey sis." Pietro tried to high five Wanda but she ignored him.

   He shrugged and joined the seat next to me, the waiter walked in to serve me a champagne, he knew i was still young and don't want to get drunk in an awards show so he said no.

   But I said yes.

   "I thought you don't like to drink when you work?"

   "I need one today." About to watch my ex perform a song we wrote with his new girl, i need to be drunk.

   "Okay, then I won't drink, so i can drive you home." He said, smiled at me, i smiled back.

   Pietro is sweet, real sweet, he understands me completely about the thing i am still having between me and Peter. Whether it's a business, diss tracks, or even the leftover feelings, he still stick around.

"You sure you want to stay? They're going to be filming you watching him." Steve asked me.

"So what?" I said, acted like I didn't care. I laid my back onto Pietro's shoulder until the applause and cheers was loud again.

"The new stars from Stark Record, a boy who sells 130,000 copies in the first week, and a girl with 300 millions view on her first music video..." The mc started speaking.

"I had 700 million views on my first lyrics video, what is she even bragging about?" I whined softly, Pietro chuckled.

"Ladies and gentleman, please welcome, Peter Parker and Liz Allan!!!"

He walked up the state and i felt my ears almost bled by all the screams, he gained more fame like i did, I guessed. The stage went black, i stared at the darkness, guessed that Parker and Allan just walked to the stage.

The guitar played and i can remember his way of playing it so well, i saw myself sitting with him on the sofa, singing songs we used to love.

Liz Allan was beautiful and fake, i heard about their relationship lately, it didn't go that well, but she acted like she loves Peter with all her heart.

I don't like admitting this but Allan knows how to perform, not the singing, her voice is not that good without auto tune, or singing live. I don't mind auto tune, it's not a crime as long as they sing well too in live.

I was dying for Everything Has Changed to end so I don't have to see Allan touches Peter every time she saw the chance. Or else this will change to cringe show.

I looked away, i can see some of my fans from here, they turned their backs against Peter and Liz, taking a picture of me.

I waved at my (Y/f) and the screamed.

[ (Y/f) = Fandom name, adapt from your name. Like Taylor Swift has Swiftie, Ed Sheeran has Sheerio, Ariana Grande has Arianator.]

The fans helped me get through it and the song was finally over.

"Hello New York! I'm Peter Parker and This is..." He paused and swallowed his saliva. "... My beautiful girlfriend, Liz Allan."

Peter didn't perform and speak well, what's wrong with him? Even if it's hurts the show must go on, Peter needs to stop thinking whatever was inside his head and focus on the show.

He introduced her just enough, and said a goodbye to her, the event time is short and only the selected artists will get to perform, god knows she gets to sing today because she is involved in my drama.

"How are you doing my little Spiders!" Peter yelled.

"Is that seriously his fandom name?" Pietro asked me.

"Yeah, he obsessed with Spiders." I told him.

"I'm so glad that i get to see you again, and of course I brought a new song along for you guys, some of you might have heard it already, this is called Aftertaste."

I froze.

He really did wrote a song about that.

Flashback

"I have to go." You said, looking away from him. Peter tried to reach out for you but you pushed him back.

"I don't want to lose you like this." He said, you can see pain in his eyes, but you were very sure that your pain was stronger.

"If you really did love me you wouldn't have done that." I told him, grabbing my bag, trying to find my car's key.

"You know this is my dream. You know how much this is important to me."

"Just... shut up. You chose your dream over ours, that's enough for me to leave." You searched the whole room for the key and Peter followed you around, trying to get you to stay.

"Come with me then, then it will be ours."

"How could i ever do that to Steve, and how could you?"

"You know this is better, we will have our own concert, music video, and fans, just think about it."

"Stop!!" You shouted at him. "Your ambition and ego will let you down one day, and i left because I realized you have never loved me, or anyone, or anything, so, let me go."

You headed right to the door, opened it up but then Peter slammed it back. You turned back to look at him, he had one arm over your head, looking at you right in the eyes.

He took the chance and kissed you forcefully. You tried to get him off but he was too strong. He left behind all his feelings all over you lips.

You finally able to get him off by a slap on his face.

He stared up at you with his hand covering up his red cheek. You stared back, wiping your lips with your sleeves. "What was that for...?" You asked.

"So you won't forget me..." He said quietly.

"..."

"I'm sorry. I'm sorry for everything. But that kiss was a permanent mark, that from now on, every time you try to move on, you will realize I can't be replaced, it will left you with our memories."

"Peter..."

"And the aftertaste."

"Re-Rewind, Friday night never forget it
How you let me go."

   He was playing his favorite guitar, i played that one before, no wonder why he loves it. And this is his turn now, i attacked him with Like A Fool, and his revenge is Aftertaste.

   "No more lies I'll be fine I know where I'm headed, Probably should've known. Now you're gonna say pretty please forgive me."

   I chuckled softly, that ego is still the same.

   "Fool me once told you twice you're gonna regret it. Now you're all alone yeah."

   I'm not alone, sometimes i feel like i am alone, but i'm not, at least i know i'm not.

   "Turns out that no one can replace me. I'm permanent you can't erase me. I'll have you remember me, One more kiss is all it takes.
I'll leave you with the memory and the aftertaste."

   "(Y/n). Camera." Steve reminded me that the camera man still films my reaction, but I don't care, Peter literally wrote the whole songs based on the last day we met, and it sounded awesome, i can tell it's going to be a hit.

   I listened to every words, beats and melody. And what made me down was that, he was right. It tore me apart seeing him with her, that he really gave us on us, i can hear his feelings, and somehow by just listening to Aftertaste, I became the bad guy.

   Truth is that no one can replace him.

   He's permanent i can't erase him.

   He had me remember him.

   That one kiss was all it takes.

   He left me with the memories.

   and i can still remember the aftertaste.
