A/N Italics means thoughts
Livs pov
I was laying in bed, staring at the ceiling, zoning out, but then the certain words caught my attention. "He doesn't like you like that" wow...wasn't expecting that. I immediately start paying attention again.
"Your joking right?" I asked tears threatening to spill from my eyes. Honestly I was in denial.
"Don't worry it's okay, he's missing out." A thought popped in my head.
"We should runaway" My best friend replied "Haha funny joke."
"No, I'm serious, let's runaway." It was silent for a moment.
"Fuck it. Let's do it, we need new identities" I replied "Becca and Jessica!!"
...Time skip...We packed our bags, and I'm about to open the door to leave. When I open it, I see the person I've been dreading to see... Nelly. He looks at me "So I found out how you feel...and-" Before he could answer I cut him off. "Save it" I push passed him, and walk out the door. I get in my car and drive to Jessicas house.
I get there and she jumps in the passenger seat.
"Here's the aux." She puts on our favorite song "daddy issues" by the neighborhood.We drive for hours to Chicago. We had just enough money to rent an apartment. The first thing we do when we get to the apartment is we go shopping for food and furniture. We got an air mattress, pull out couch, a small tv, and some groceries.
...Time Skip...2 years later
At this point me and Jessica are living in a house living a good life. We had both gotten good jobs that payed good money. I go to check the mail and I got a postcard, it said "To Liv from Nelly." My eyes widened, I was shocked, I thought he forgot about me. I open the letter and it says "dear liv Can we meet at (random location) at 2:30, I have some things I have to get off my chest." My heart skipped a beat. What if he likes me back. Why tell me after 2 years though. So I go upstairs and get ready. I put on a skirt, a top, and a cardigan over it.
(The outfit)
I show up at the spot, and see him there waiting already. I was so nervous, I took a deep breath and started walking towards him.
"Hey..." He looked up at me and immediately replied "Oh hi! I didn't expect you to show up" I look down not really having an answer. "So...how's life been" I thought is he really acting like nothing happened, like that I haven't been gone 2 years. "Fine I guess, what about you?" He replied after a couple seconds. "Alright I'm just gonna cut to the chase" He takes a deep inhale. "I actually really like you, and I have for the past 3 years. But I never really got the chance to tell you and I was nervous when you said you liked me" Is this actually happening, or am I fucking dreaming. "I'm honestly not sure what to say" he replied "you don't have to say anything" I finally build up the courage. "I don't think there's anything else to say other than ... I still like you too." Without realizing I start inching towards him, I get so close are faces are almost touching. He finally leans in and our lips connect. After a few minutes, we finally pull away. He connects out hands. I hear him whisper almost to the fact I can't even hear him. "Will you go out with me?" I pretend to think for a second, even though I already knew I would say yes. "Uhm sure why not."We go out on a date, and then go home and watch movies with Jessica/Nev.
