Part 2

I picked at my jeans nervously, skimming my knee with my nail. 

I was sitting on the counter, just hoping that he wouldn't come over to me.

He was standing right across the room. He was right there. So close. And if he came over here....i have no idea what i would say. 

I still loved him. I couldn't help it. I've spent the past 5 years trying to stop loving him. 

But he had probably moved on by now. He most likely already had a new boyfriend or girlfriend by now. And I should have to. Or at least moved on by now.

I kind of regretted doing this. I really didn't want to be here. He was right there. So close yet so far.

We broke up and then not even a week later i shadow traveled out of there.

We never talked about the fight we had after it happened. We just ignored each other and then i was gone. He never reached out to me and I didn't reach out to him.

But he was right. I was an idiot and I thought that I could fight them all alone. And i was so wrong.

Subconsciously, i ran my finger over the scar on my lip.

I should have just listened to him.

But now he was 20 feet away from me. All he had to do was turn around and he would catch my eye.

"Hey Nico!" 

I glanced up quickly, seeing Hazel standing there.

I let out a relieved breath that i wasn't aware that i was holding then faked a smile.

"Hey Hazel,"

"How've you been? I haven't seen you in forever!" Hazel asked.

"I'm alright," I lied, glancing up at Will quickly, "you?"

"I'm good, look at this," Hazel smiled, showing me her hand.

On her fourth finger she was wearing a diamond ring.

"Oh my gods," I took her hand, raising it closer to my eyes, "did Frank propose?"

"Mhm!" she exclaimed, looking that she was trying not to jump up and down and clap her hands in excitement.

"That's amazing," I smiled and tried to look happy for her.

It's not like i wasn't happy. I was, i was very happy for her. But everything in this house kept reminding me of Will. And it didn't help that he was just across the room.

"Thanks," she said, still smiling, "Anyway, it's nice seeing you Nico, I'm glad you came,"

"You to Hazel,"

I watched as she walked away, my lips pressed into a straight line.

She walked over to Frank and i turned my eyes away.

I glanced up at Will once again, his bright blonde hair shining in the fading sunlight. His smile sparkled making my heart go crazy.

I shook my head, pinching the bridge of my nose.

I loved him. And seeing him here really showed me how much i still did.

I stood up and headed towards the staircase, walking up to my room.

I needed to get away from everyone. I needed to alone.

*Couple Hour Time Skip*

"Hey Nico," I heard from the door.

I looked up from my phone to see Will standing there.

Great, this was exactly what i needed.

I had spent the last couple hours trying to get him off my mind. Nothing worked though. And now here he was.

"Hey," I slipped my phone into my pocket, cracking my knuckles nervously.

"Nico, i just wanted to tell you that I'm sorry. I know it has been like 5 years, but i just wanted to tell you that," He tapped his fingers on the door frame.

"It's fine, you were right anyway," My finger levitated to my lip, tracing the scar.

"Nico," he shook his head.

"I was an idiot back then,"

"Only back then?" He laughed slightly, my heart beating in my ears.

"Oh shut up," I rolled my eyes, smiling slightly.

"Fine, fine!" he raised his hands in surrender, "anyway, it was nice seeing you Nico."

"You to Will,"

I watched as he walked back out of the room, his skin glowing slightly. 

I shook my head, smiling slightly.

Will is going to be the death of me.

And honestly, i kind of wanted that.
