"hey sweetie, how was your date?" my mom asked me when i walked inside. i ignored her and rushed to my room. i hated letting people see me cry.

when i made it to my room i threw on a crop top and pajama pants. i then collapsed onto my bed as i checked my phone. i had four unread messages.

tyler: y/n i'm so sorry. i never meant to hurt you, i swear.

tyler: i'm such an asshole. it was never my intention to try and make jenna jealous with you, i genuinely wanted to go on a date with you.

tyler: please talk to me. at least let me know that you made it home safe. i'm worried about you y/n.

tyler: okay, i understand. you're upset. just..talk to me tomorrow? goodnight, y/n.

i plugged my phone in and put it under my pillow. i wasn't going to spend anymore time talking to him. i didn't care what his intentions actually were. he hurt me and i wasn't just going to forgive him.

thank God it was friday. i didn't want to have to see him the next day. i knew that he'd just beg me to forgive him. but i wasn't going to take some crappy apology. he didn't only hurt me that night, but he humiliated me. and i don't take that stuff lightly.

after i set my phone under my pillow, i got under my comforter and buried my head into my pillows.

within five minutes i was out like a light.

saturday

i woke up the next morning to bright sun leaking through my window. i groaned. sleep was way more peaceful than dealing with social interaction.

i sat up and grabbed my phone. oh, lovely. more messages from tyler. why couldn't he just give up?

tyler: did you get home safe? also, good morning. can we meet up and talk?

tyler: i know i don't deserve anymore of your time, but i want a chance to redeem myself. please?

i rolled my eyes. he was never going to give up was he?

you: leave me alone tyler. i'll see you monday.

tyler: okay. okay, i'll see you monday.

freaking finally.

i spent the rest of my day listening to music and studying. i had friends, but there was a huge test on tuesday and since i didn't feel like doing anything for the weekend, i figured i might as well study.

when i finished studying i decided to order a pizza while i listened to music. i got completely lost in the music as i ate pizza and danced to sugar, we're goin down by fall out boy.

my weekend was fine.

but nothing prepared me for monday.

monday

when i arrived to school monday tyler was nowhere to be seen.

not that i really expected any different. the only reason i agreed to talk to him monday, was because i knew he'd have given up by then. it did sort of sting that he didn't try to talk to me at school, but i didn't really care.

when i walked into first period, i still hadn't seen tyler. that was strange. was he ditching?

when it came time for morning announcements, i expected to hear the secretary's voice. but that was not who we all heard.

"um, h-hey it's tyler. i don't know if y/n is listening but i kinda hope she is, because i've never done something like this. y/n, i'm sorry. i'm so, so, sorry. i know i keep texting you those same words, but i truly am. when i brought you to the diner for milkshakes, i brought you because i liked you. i wanted to be on that date with you. i had no idea jenna would show up, because i blocked her on all social media. my intention was never to make her jealous, my intention was to enjoy my date with you. i really like you. a lot. and i'm telling you in front of the whole school that i do. so..if there's ever a chance that you could possibly forgive me, meet me at the diner for milkshakes at 6. okay, i gotta go now because the secretary is storming after me."

i could hear shuffling and the secretary yelling at tyler. everyone giggled slightly while i looked at my desk and blushed. he must have really felt sorry for what he did. especially after what he did to prove it.

maybe we could try again. i could give him a second chance. i still really liked him and he told everyone that he liked me.

all i knew is that i had a choice to make.

time skip

tyler's pov

i sat at one of the booths and nervously picked at my nails.

what if she still didn't forgive me? what if i fucked it up by what i did? nothing compared to the guilt i felt for using y/n to make jenna jealous. i should have ignored jenna but something urged me to make her feel like shit. but it wasn't her that i made feel like shit. it was y/n.

i didn't expect y/n to show up. i definitely didn't deserve her to. i deserved to be rejected, not given a second chance.

but when i felt her presence in front of me, i sighed in relief.

"so," she started, with a small smile on her face. "what kind are you getting?"

"vanilla." i told her. she smirked.

"that's a no on banana?" she teased, just liked the night before.

"gross." we said in unison. we chuckled right after. she was such an amazing person to be around.

"i want this to work. you and i, i mean. what you did this morning must have taken a lot of courage." y/n told me. i smiled.

"i did it because i really really like you. i want this to work too." i replied.

"what would we be then?" she asked me.

"if..if you'll have me i'd like us to be boyfriend and girlfriend. i promise i'll never do what i did last night. it- it was stupid and i still feel horrible."

"i'd like us to be girlfriend and boyfriend. i like you a lot, you know."

i smiled brightly.

"i like you too."

the waitress came and took our order. i ordered a vanilla and she ordered [insert flavor]. it was just like last night.

but this time i made sure i didn't hurt her in the end.

10 years later

your pov

we walked the streets of london when i saw an ice-cream shop. i immediately grabbed tyler's hand and pulled him with me into the shop.

"what on earth are you doing, pretty girl?" he asked me, giggling. when we were inside i looked at him.

"on our first date you said that if you traveled you wanted to see if the milkshakes were as good as at home. let's see." i said. tyler then smiled.

"you didn't forget?" he questioned.

"how could i ever?"

we ordered two milkshakes and sat at a table as we drank them. when we were done, we threw them away and walked out of the shop.

"so what do you think?" i asked him. he shrugged.

"i think the ones at home are better." he decided. i nodded in agreement.

"i agree. but we're still on tour. lots of other places to try."

"and we have all the time in the world."

i took his hand. his finger traced over the new diamond ring on my left ring finger.

"yup. all the time in the world." i agreed.
