New Beginnings

The Breakup

Dixies POV:
I was scrolling on tik tok when this girl came up on my fyp. The video said "continue watching to see me expose Griffin Johnson." I thought it was another one of those clout chasing videos. But I continued watching just to have something to tease him about later. My face immediately dropped when I finished watching. I rewatched it once more just to make sure that my eyes were in fact not playing tricks on me. I shot Griffin one final text

"We're over you cheating lying piece of shit."

"Baby wait no I can explain"

I blocked his number and removed his contact. I felt used, played. I felt like every single kiss and moment was all a lie. I put too much of my energy and time into this relationship to end like this. I came to senses and told myself that I was too good for him and that I deserved so much better than him. Then I saw a text from Noah, Curtis, and I's group chat.

"Dicksea lets go to the beach again"

How ironic. They were asking if I was down for another late night Malibu trip. At first I was hesitant, but then I realized that I needed to get distracted and hanging out with them would be a great source of distraction from everything.

"Sure pick me up I'll be ready soon"

Now that I didn't have a boyfriend, I guess it was okay for me to catch feelings for someone else. Obviously I wasn't going to jump into a relationship in less than 24 hours of ending another, but there could be some potentials out there. Noah was waiting outside for me. As I was getting out of the elevator he got out of the car and opened the door for me. Noah got into the drivers seat and gave me a side hug. We started talking and mid conversation I began to sob. He was confused but didn't hesitate to pull over on the side of the road. I started to tell him everything that had happened that morning. From the tik tok, the texts, and now the breakdown.

Noah's POV:
I know it was the wrong time and probably fucked up to think about at that moment, but I felt like I might have actually had a chance with Dixie now more than ever. She was single, we had been hanging out and seeing each other everyday, and we were like besties. And if this were to be any type of love story, this was the best narrative. Strangers, to besties, and to lovers. I started to think that if just showed her that I was there for her, and comforted her in times of need, then she would start to see me as more than just her "bestie." I leaned in and hugged her tightly. I rubbed her back and caressed her cheek. I went in for the leap and gave her a small forehead kiss. I saw her close her eyes and took a breath of relief.

"You we're too good for him anyway, he didn't deserve you, he's a kid he doesn't know what he just lost, you deserve someone who treats you like the queen you are" I whispered in her ear through her sniffles.

Dixie looked up at me and we stared into each other's eyes for a moment before she let go of my hug and thanked me.

"Thank you, I know, now hurry up I want to go to Malibuuu" she said as we both laughed.

Dixies POV:
I don't know why but in that moment I felt like the guy I needed was right there, right in front of me. Every time he hugged me or kissed my forehead I felt instant butterflies. Butterflies no other guy has made me feel. We arrived at the beach and like always the first thing Noah did was take off his shirt and caught me staring. He picked me up and ran to the water.

"NOAH NOAH NO I SWEAR TO GOD IF YOU-" I couldn't even finish my sentence as I felt the impact of water hit us. Noah was under me and I was laying on top of him. We both got up and I slapped him arm. After a while we did our usual and sat in the lifeguard tower. We brought food so we had a little picnic. We started talking and trailing off into the night. The sun set and the stars started appearing. Noah lie down and I followed, using his chest as a pillow. He wrapped his arm around me and held me into a hugging position. I felt so safe in his arms. If I could I would never leave his skin and touch. He turned around to meet me face to face. He caressed me cheek and I smiled looking into his eyes. God I want him and only him. I really thought we were going to kiss and I was so down but I had just gotten out of a relationship, and I wasn't ready for a new one, not yet. But I knew that Noah was the one I wanted to be in a relationship with. But then again I needed to be able to give him all of my heart because if not it would only be unfair to him. We left the beach and drive off into the distance. His hand on top of mine.
