"Go get her, Laurie!" I said with a smile on my face, as I ruffled his hair.
I hoped Jo would love Laurie the same way I do. I loved him so much but he loved Jo and I couldn't stop him from loving the person he truly loves.
I hid behind the trees and saw Laurie and Jo walking on the hill.
"You don't have to stay here Jo." I heard Laurie say.
I already knew he was going to confess to her.
"Why? Should we run off and join a pirate ship?" Jo said sarcastically.
Laurie shook his head.
"No, no." My heart sank down to my stomach as Jo realized what he was going to say.
"It's no use Jo, Jo we've gotta have it. I have loved you ever since I've known you Jo, I couldn't help it! A-and I tried to show you and you wouldn't let me, Which is fine. But I must make you hear now, and give me an answer. Because I cannot go on like this any longer!"
"Teddy please- please don't." Jo said, shaking her head.
"I gave up everything you didn't like, I'm happy I did. It's fine, and I waited, and I never complained. Because I-, I figured you loved me Jo!" He took a long pause.
I wanted to cry, Laurie had loved her for so long and she just broke him.
"And I realize now, that i'm not half good enough and i'm not this great man and-" He just stopped because he gave up on trying to convince Jo to love him.
"Yes you are, you're a great to good for me, and I-i'm so grateful for you, and i'm so proud of you, and I just-I don't see why I can't love you as you want me to. I don't know why." Jo said.
My heart sank down to my stomach as she continued to tell Laurie that she can't love him because then that would be a lie.
"I can't love anyone else Jo, I only love you." Laurie said in a sad voice.
I cried quietly. I felt so bad, Laurie had spent every moment, from the day he met her til now, loving her.
After a while I heard Laurie sobbing.
I came out behind the tree.
"I'm so sorry Laurie." He had seen that I was crying.
He had got up to hug me.
He got out of the hug and wiped my tears.
"Why are you crying Y/n?" He said worried.
"I-I just feel so bad you know? You've spent every moment with her, loving her. And for you to see your heart get broken like this it's just awful!" I cried
"Well maybe we're just not meant to be" he sniffed.

Laurie had been getting ready to head to France, the night before we hung out and spent our every last moment together. He was outside with his luggage's.
"I'm really going to miss you Y/N" he hugged me tight.
"I am going to miss you too Laurie" I looked up into his eyes.
"Theodore, let's go!" The man carrying his luggage said.
They opened the door for him.
The man whipped the horses and they started slowing driving away.
"I'll write to you everyday Y/n!" Laurie shouts.
I blew him a kiss and he blew one back.
I sighed and went back into my house.
"He already left?" My mother asked.
I just cried into her arms.
—————————(time skip)—————————
Laurie wrote to me as much as he could, and I wrote to him back.
I smiled at every letter he'd sent, I would save all of his letters and re read them all.
Not having Laurie here was really hard for me. Laurie had been my best friend since birth. He'd always been by my side and would comfort me through everything. But also, I think I've been in love with Laurie for forever.

"Y/n darling, suppers ready!" The butler knocks on my door.
"I'm coming Alfred!" I replied.
I walked downstairs and sat at the table.
"So Y/n, Laurie had told us that there's this ball in France, and he wanted us to inform you, and he also wanted us to ask you if you would be able to come with him." My mother says after sipping her wine.
"Wait really?!" I shout.
"You guys will actually let me go?!" I ask.
"Calm down Y/n, yes we will let you go. But you will also be there for a month." My Father adds.
"A month in France!! I'm accepting his request! I'm packing right now! Wait, am I excused?" I blurb out.
"No Y/n finish your food first." My mother says.
"And don't eat fast, you'll get hiccups." My Father states.
I ate all of my dinner and I packed for the month I will be spending in France. I'm finally going to be seeing Laurie again!
"Y/n" I hear a knock at my door.
"Come in!" I say.
My maid walked in,
"Your Mother wanted to inform you that your dress for the ball is already in France" she says.
"Okay, we'll tell her thank you. And give her a kiss on the cheek for me" I laugh.
"Oh alright.." she says.
"Margaret, I was joking about the kiss"
"Oh okay I wasn't going to do it either way."

I had arrived in France and I was strolling around in a Park, hoping to find Laurie wandering around somewhere.
I checked my watch and it was 3:00pm.
I was praying in my head that i would find Laurie and right as I looked up I bumped into someone.
"My apologies Ma'am, I'm so sorry." The man starts apologizing profusely.
I look at his face and it was Laurie.
"Laurie! It's you! I've been hoping I would find you wandering around somewhere!" I shouted.
"Y/n! I didn't thing your parents would allow you to come all the way to France for some ball! Oh my, it's so good to see you!" Laurie hugs me.
"Oh lord I thought I would never find you! Also Laurie, you look amazing!" I smile.
"I- I mean I don't even know what to say about you, you're just so beautiful!" He smiles, and grabs my hand.
We hung out most of the day and he walked me back to my place.
"I'll pick you up here at 8:00 before the ball tomorrow." Laurie says, kissing my hand and smiling at me.
I head into the house and walk to my room. I started blushing, "god he's so beautiful" I giggle so much that I start kicking my feet.
I got ready for bed and slept like a baby.
I woke up the next morning and had breakfast before I got my makeup and hair done.
I snuck downstairs and grabbed a crossiant, I held my head while looking down at the plate that way my curlers wouldn't fall out.
I went back to the room and they touched up on my makeup. I heard a knock on my bedroom door.
"Can I open that?" I asked.
"Whatever you want Miss L/N" The maid smiled.
I opened the door, it was Laurie.
"Laurie it's only 6:30 what are you doing here?!" I whisper so the maids don't hear.
I was in my robe and half of my curlers in my hair were out.
"I mean it's better to be early then late right?" He laughed.
I shoved his shoulder.
"Theodore Laurence! The lady isn't ready shoo!" The maids shooed him away.
I stuck my tongue out at him and walked back in my room.
"Miss L/N, would you like to see your dress for the ball?" A maid knocks at my door.
"Yes yes!!" I jumped out of my seat.
She pulled it out, it was a beautiful light lavender color with crème colored lace everywhere.
"I love it!" I shouted.
They got me dressed and reapplied my lipstick.
They packed a little pouch for me to touch up my makeup at the ball.
"Call Theodore and tell him to wait at the bottom of the stairs!" The maid says.
I walk down the stairs and I see Laurie's face light up with awe.
"Y/n, you look beautiful." He grabs my hand.
"Well the carriage is waiting for you outside, chop chop you do not want to be late!" One of the maids shout.
He grabs my hand and lets me into the carriage first.
"Why thank you Laurie." I giggle.
We arrive at the ball and first person I see is Amy March. I walk over to her,
"Amy! Is that you?"
"Oh my, Y/n! This is an old friend of mine, Y/n L/N." She introduced me to her friends.
"So what are you doing here!" Amy asked.
"Well Laurie had invited me here to the ball and that was just an offer I could never turn down. And so now I'm here in France for a month!" I replied, taking a glass of champagne from a tray.
"Laurie?" One of Amy's friends were confused.
"Oh uh, Theodore Laurence." I corrected
"Well he's quite handsome" one of them giggled.
"Yeah he is" I give a fake smile.
they're giving me a weird feeling
"Alright well, I should go. It was nice seeing you Amy!" I walk over to Laurie.
"I see that you caught up with Amy" Laurie smiles.
"Well kinda, her friends give me a weird feeling." I mumbled.
"Why's that?" He asks, taking my hand into his.
"I don't know it's just something about them just doesn't feel right to me." I say.
"Well just try to ignore it, why don't we go and dance."
"Whatever you say, Theodore." I laugh
"Gross, don't call me that." He grabs my arm and brings me onto the ballroom floor.
We danced for a while until we got tired.
"I'm going to the restroom I'll be right back." I told Laurie.
As I walk into the bathroom I hear some voices gossiping, I stop dead in my tracks and I started eavesdropping.
"Yeah well did you see that girl Y/n? She's with Theodore Laurence tonight." I heard a woman say in disgust.
"How can a man like him be attracted to her? And did you see the way she danced? Ugh, ridiculous!" The other woman said.
I felt tears welling in my eyes. I held them in and went to see who was talking and not surprisingly it was Amy's so called "friends".
I stormed out and grabbed Laurie out to the garden.
"Woah, what's going on?" He says as I dragged him outside.
"I don't want to be here anymore, can we just please leave." I start bawling.
"Y/n, what's wrong? What happened?" He held my face in his hand.
"It's just Amy's friends we're saying terrible things about me in the restroom. And I just-" I said before Laurie cut me off with,
"What did they say?"
"Oh did you see that girl Y/n she's with Theodore Laurence. How could a handsome man like him ever be attracted to her" I mocked their ridiculous voices.
"Y/n, don't listen to them."
"It's my first time here and they just ruined it for me." I sobbed even more.
"Y/n why don't we just go back to your place?" He held my hand.
I nodded and we went back to my place.
"Y/n, Theodore, why are you here so early?" One of the maids asks us as she opens the door.
"Y/n wasn't feeling so good so we just decided it would be best if we went back here." Laurie replied.
"Oh okay well thank you Theodore. Are you planning to stay overnight?" The maid asks.
"Uh yes I guess I am planning to stay overnight." He looked into my eyes for an answer.
We went up into my room and I took my makeup off.
I changed into a nightgown and sat next to Laurie.
"It feels so weird being with you. I mean it's been two years!" I lay my head on his shoulder.
"Y/n I have to tell you something." He says, holding my hand.
"I think I'm in love with you" He spits out.
"Laurie, I- I don't know what to say." I froze, how could he love me?
"Please tell me you feel the same way Y/n"
"How's this as an answer?" I kiss him softly on his lips.
"I would take that as a 'I feel the same way' Y/n" He smiles.
"That's because I do feel the same way." I smile.

An: Holy shit, i haven't written in so long. School has been up my ass and also I just have no motivation. Sorry if this sucks, but hopefully it's not as bad as the first version of this chapter. I'm planning to re write a bunch of old cringe chapters but probably during my winter break which doesn't start till the 21st which is stupid. But I do really miss writing and please give me some imagine recommendations because I wanna write what you guys wanna read. I love you all and sorry if this is cringe.
updated AN: I had to correct some grammar in this shit. I literally have school tmrw and it's one in the morning.
