I stepped off the plane; my heart had never beat this fast in my life. It was like at any moment it would give in, And I'd faint. Beka's friend told me how much he hates me. But I still have to do it. I have to look him in his eyes and apologize, No matter how much he hates me, no matter how afraid I was, no matter what. God, I think i'm going to puke. I think as I put my hoodie up and sunglasses back on.

 "Where to?" the lady in the cab asked."Umm.. This address, please.. And can you stay when we get there... I might be coming straight back..."

"It'll cost you extra for every minute I wait, you know." she 

"Yes, I understand.. I'll pay.." I say in the car

"Hey, kid, you ok you're shaking? Do I need to call the cops you in danger?"

"No, no, thank you, i'm just going to apologize to someone dear to me..."

"Wait... I know you... You're Yuri Plisetsky!"

"Y-Yes?""This ride is free."

"What?""I'm a skater fan, and I've been following everything, i'm a huge fan of yours. You're going to apologize/confess, right?"

"Basically.."

"Then the ride is free; I believe in love and want to see it work out too, kid."

"Thanks so much, Ma'am...and thank you for your support.."

"Man, living in Japan must have changed you; you're not normally this overly polite.."The ride began, and the silence set in with the fear as I knew each intersection, and each turn took me closer to him. I realized I didn't know what to say to him.

"This is the spot kid, i'm going down the block to give yall more privacy. if you're not back in 30 minutes, I'll assume things went well."

"Ok.. Thanks," I said as I turned to face the house and inched forward.

"Ding dong

"Hello?" Mrs. Altin answered before being cut off

"Mom, move!" the voice cut thru me like a sharp knife... I'm not ready for this.. Soon enough, I was face to face with Him,

"Yura..." He started before turned to face away from him

"I know I shouldn't have come.." I push out,

 "Your new best friend already told me how much you hate me." I continued digging my nails into my palms.

"Yura, what are you talking about?" Beka said, gripping my shoulders as if trying to put me at ease. 

"I could never hate you..." He sounded like he was about to cry

"It's ok if you do after everything I did." I start as tears gather; damn it, I can't cry right now! "Heck, I even have the gall to stand here on your porch right after you decide to move on-" I continue until the dam breaks. "This was a mistake i'm leaving!" I exclaim, pulling away from him

"Yura, wait!" He yelled, grabbing me by the hand. 

"Don't go.. and please... Please look at me.." he said, choking back tears. "I saw the interview. I understand why you here.. Don't go.." He pleaded before breaking down himself.

"Fine.." I said, turning around.. as he pulled me into a tight embrace

"I'm sorry I left you the way I did... I didn't want to but truly thought you didn't love me. It began to cause me pain just being by your side."

"That's not your fault I was the one being untruthful, and because of that, I hurt you, Beka I- I-" I start before he interrupts me with a strong kiss, with it it all melts away my fear, my insecurities, everything..

"Beka..." 

"I love you too, Yura.. But you knew that.. Right?"

"But you said you were over me?"

"I, too, had begun to lie to myself. Everyone was telling me I needed to move on, and I knew that.. That if you really didn't love me, I couldn't make you."

"I'm so sorry.."

"Don't be. It's all over now, Yuri Plisetsky. Will you be mine?"

"Of course! I want that more than anything in the world!"
