Question...?

"Kris, I am so lost right now." (y/n) groaned. It was 4:44 am, and you were out for a drive. 

"Break up with heem!" She nagged. "Eet ees not hard."

"I know, I know." You stepped on the break slowly as the light turned red. "I don't understand how my feelings could've changed so quickly. I was so in love with him, then boom; Tristan does something nice for me and I'm questioning everything."

"You call heem Tristan." Kristen's metaphorical smile made (y/n) hit her steering wheel. She pressed on the gas and swerved around some cars. The window was open a crack and it danced through her hair. "I theenk you like the idea of Luke. Not the real theeng."

"Go on..." You pressed. The car was rolling at a comfortable 120km/hr down the highway, and your knuckled gripped the steering wheel tightly. 

"Look, you've known Luke seence you were four. You've liked heem seence you were ten. You've spent your entire life trying to make heem yours. When you two started dating, it seem like fairy tale, yes? After he cheated on you, eet was like um...how do you say...the fairy tale broke."

As Kristen recounted their romantic timeline, (y/n) was transported back in time to the first time they met on the playground. She lied to him about how wet sand was made, they shared sandcastle toys. Those innocent park moments turned into shoving Valentine's letters into his locker with no author. The feelings can only grow so much until you're in a closet during a party and they're begging to escape.

Then you're bawling your eyes out in your car listening to Avril Lavigne as you drive away from the only person you thought you deserved.

"During the time you two separate, uh, you find comfort een Tristan. But eet ees not normal comfort eet ees like uh...different. You know what I am saying?"

(y/n) smiled as Kristen struggled to find the words to explain the situation. "Yes, Krissy, I do."

"You break up weeth Tristan because you sad and eet ees no good for both of you. You take break from boys, then Luke come back eento your life. You are so overwhelmed with emotion that you fall een love with the idea of Luke een your head. The idea you've had of heem since you were seventeen."

(y/n) speeds up on the highway and grips her steering wheel harder. There are no cars on the road apart from a few trucks and there is rage flowing through your veins. 

"Luke proves to you that he ees not the boy you have een your head. That makes you angry. Tristan shows you what you need from man and that only make you extra angry because your boyfriend can't do anything right. After all, he ees stupeed. So, you fall een love with Tristan again because he ees good for your heart. Luke ees not."

"I don't think Luke is not not good for my heart. I think my heart likes him just fine." You lie.

Right, but our heart also thinks that Tristan is the best guy ever and we want to have his children.

"But your brain has outgrown heem. Eventually, your heart will too. I think eet already has."

Tears stung in your eyes as you slowed down again. Kristen was right about everything. It's only a matter of time before you'll spend resenting Luke for not being up to your standards and dragging him down with you until he realizes that, too.

"You're right Kris. You're so right." You chuckle and wipe a tear. "How do I tell him that, though? He's leaving today and I want it to be perfect-"

"Stop trying to make everything perfect for Luke when he can't make you feel that way."

(y/n) cried all the way home.

Tristan's eyes fluttered open when he heard the sound of the front door clicking close. He yawned and checked the time; 5:55 am.
