Chapter 8: Back Again?

The next day

You wake up, your heart racing as you recollect your thoughts. It takes a while to return to normal, although ever since moving here nothing has been.

You dreamt about Shrek again. But it was more than a talk, more than a kiss. It felt like more than a dream, and you wish that were true.

But now what could you do? Him and Fiona are already moving in together.

I'm never gonna be more to him..

Just as you get up and get outside to take a shower, you see a familiar figure in the distance, clearly approaching you.

Fiona.

She walks towards you. She doesn't look mad, but she never has quite a friendly face. As she walks closer you realize that she is not... Happy, per se.

"You homewrecker! I heard about what you did! You don't think I can tell when he does that? I think you should move."

"No, Fiona, it isn't like that. I didn't even kiss him he just threw himself on me... I guess. And I get that you're mad-"

She interrupts you midway through your sentence.

"You get that I'm mad?! You're probably just sad that you can't date him" she fumes.

"Fiona no I don't see him that way, he's like a brother to me, I swear."

Not exactly like a brother...

You conceal a smirk. If she could read your mind you know she'd bash your head into the wall and wait for your brain to rupture.

"Look, Y/N, I'm not gonna hate you."

You breathe a silent sigh of relief.

"But," she continues, "if you tell someone this I don't think you want to know what I'd do, capiche?"

You nod in a way to tell her to continue. You'd better not risk making her mad. You really want to know what she's gonna tell you.

"A few days ago, when Shrek and I had that argument.." she whispers, "I went to a bar with a couple of my friends. And so I know that what he did was like what I did. But I don't want him to know what I did because I don't want to lose him."

I wouldn't wanna lose that big green hunk of ogre if I had him either

"Who was it?" You ask. Maybe they'd be better off together so you and Shrek can stay together.

"It's not important, is it?" She says.

Fair point.

Later that day

After taking a not so refreshing shower you go back to your hut. When you walk in you turn and you nearly scream when you see Shrek sitting on your bed. He looks worried.

"Y/N.." he says, an anxious look in his eyes.

"U-u-uh... H-hey." You lean on a chair and stumble backwards. You feel your face wash over with a wave of heat.

"So.." He starts, hesitating as he gazes into your eyes. Your stomach feels like it's doing flips, as if it was a gymnast. You swallow the lump in your throat, staring back into his deep brown eyes.

"Shr-"

"I'm really sorry, okay Y/N? I-I know that what I did was stupid, and while I do think you're a great friend.."

Oh god..

"Don't.." You say, your eyes getting that sharp pain they do before you cry.

"I know, Y/N. But Fiona... she means the world to me, you know? I can't sacrifice what I have with her." He says, staring at the ground. 

"But what about ME, Shrek? What about what you have with me? Did that just mean nothing? I thoug-"

"Y/N!" He shouts, sounding fed-up. You glance up and feel hot tears sliding down your face.

"I-" You wipe your face with your sleeves, "I want you to leave."

Shrek stands up, rattling your furniture as he sighs heavily.

As Shrek walks out the front door, you remember last night.

"You said she was boring.." You mutter.

Shrek turns around, and for a second you think he'll change his mind.

"I was DRUNK, Y/N. I hardly remember ANYTHING from last night."

He storms out the door, and you listen to his footsteps get quieter as you stand in the middle of your hut and let the tears stream down your face.

Maybe I should tell him about Fiona..
