I Wonder...

Your POV

Audrey - Lydia's new roommate - was the one to open the door. "What is it?" She glanced around the hall but didn't seem to see anything off.

"Is Lydia in there?" Harry stood awkwardly, shifting his weight from one leg to the other.

Audrey called, and the stunning girl came to the door, all dressed up as usual.

Harry chuckled nervously, and then managed out, "I have something for you, Lydia."

She looked up at him confused, but curious.

Then, without warning, he splashed the glass of water in her face.

She screamed. "Ugh! Harry!!" Her hair was soaked, and her makeup ruined.

As Harry ran towards the corner where the rest of us were hiding, Audrey came out. She scoffed. "Real mature Harry."

"Sorry, it was a dare!" He called back as we all quickly escaped back to the dorm, leaving Lydia in hysterics.

We all took a second to catch our breath and calm our laughter after re-entering the room.

"Beautifully executed," Uma was the first to speak.

Harry took a deep breath. "Well. That's done with. Let's continue."

The game went on delightfully. There weren't any deep truths spilled, and the dares weren't too horrid. Finally, it came back to my turn, and Uma was the one to ask me.

She glanced between Johnny and me and began. "Okay, I'm asking you this just because I need to know. It's not that I doubt either of you, but still."

"Oh, quit blabbering and get on with it Uma!" Harry urged.

"(Y/N), was there... or was there ever the possibility of... okay let me put it this way. If you had met Johnny first, and Johnny had met you first, would things be different?" My jaw dropped inside my head. She really went there.

Maya and Kai glanced wide-eyed at each other, for once glad the round had nothing to do with them.

"Different?" I wanted to make sure I knew exactly what she was referring to.

"Between the four of us. Relationships wise."

"Well..." I started, trying to gather my thoughts. "I would be lying if I said... if I said I never thought about it. Like if things would have been different." I could see Harry biting down on his lip in the corner of my eye, shifting uncomfortably. "But I think it's a bit more complex. When I first met Johnny, I wondered if he might like me - obviously, I don't know the answer to that. But I'm pretty sure he was already taken by you, our first conversation cleared that up. And for me, I was avoiding the thought of Harry after he bugged me that night," I scoffed with a smile, looking over at Harry, "by pretending Johnny was an option. I always felt he wasn't though. It was different when we spoke to each other. If I had met him before meeting Harry, I guess we'll never really know. Circumstances make us who we are I suppose. How different would any of us be, even if the slightest thing in our lives was altered? Now though, there's no one I would want to be with but Harry. And I know Johnny feels the same about you. In the hypothetical scenario, I hope everything would have turned out exactly as it is now, and I believe fate would have brought us together in the same way - but we don't know. In this world, however," I laughed, "nothing like what you're implying happened between Johnny and I. And trust me, if nothing did after all Lydia attempted to pollute our minds with back then, then nothing ever will. If someone was so hell-bent on a relationship forming, and there was even the slightest unaddressed feeling between the two, something would have happened. And nothing d-did." I stuttered, not sounding as sure as I wanted.

Uma looked relieved, and when seeing her face I realized that this was a genuine concern for her. Either Johnny or I should have said something way earlier, poor Uma was so tense.

"That got me thinking (y/n)... I wonder how my life would have been if I grew up in Auradon." Maya thought out loud.

"Or if my father were more of a father," Kai sighed.

"If mum was still alive." Harry quietly said.

"If I never went to the Isle that first day I did," I added.

"If the barrier never went down." Uma pondered.

"If I never quit my wayward ways." Johnny stared off into nothing.

We all sat in an oddly comfortable silence for a while, thinking about what we just said.

"I know some of the things we mentioned were... better than others to say the least - and that some of you would rather live in a world where that was a reality. And rightfully so. I'd just like to say though, that everything else aside, I'm infinitely grateful to be in this exact moment right now, with all of you." I grinned.

"We are too." Maya resolved, and the others all agreed.

"Are you gonna take your turn or not (y/n)?" Kai finally brought the game back on track.

"Right." I looked around the circle. "Johnny, truth or dare?"

"Truth, you know me." He chuckled.

"I feel stupid for never asking you this before, and Harry and Uma probably already know the answer, but I've been dying to find out. Who are your parents?"

A long-awaited question... what's the answer?

Since this chapter is a bit shorter than others, I thought I would add a (sorta fitting) song at the end! 

Some specific lines remind me of each character, so I wanted to add them here :)


Maya:I wonder if I'm being real
Do I speak my truth or do I filter how I feel?

Uma: I wonder, wouldn't it be nice
To live inside a world that isn't black and white?

(Y/N):I wonder what it's like to be my friends
Hope that they don't think I'll forget about them

(All?):I wonder
I wonderRight before I close my eyes
The only thing that's on my mind
Been dreamin' that you feel it too
I wonder what it's like to be loved by you
Yeah
I wonder what it's like
I wonder what it's like to be loved by
Harry:I wonder why I'm so afraid
Of saying something wrong, I never said I was a saint

Kai:I wonder, when I cry into my hands
I'm conditioned to feel like it makes me less of a man

Johnny:And I wonder if someday you'll be by my side
And tell me that the world will end up alright

(All?):I wonder
I wonderRight before I close my eyes
The only thing that's on my mind
Been dreamin' that you feel it too
I wonder what it's like to be loved by you
Yeah
I wonder what it's like
I wonder what it's like to be loved by youI wonder what it's like to be loved by you
Yeah
I wonder what it's like to be loved by you
I wonder what it's like to be loved byRight before I close my eyes
The only thing that's on my mind
Been dreamin' that you feel it too
I wonder what it's like to be loved by you
