The silence that washed over the room was unbearable as the two young adult sat across from one another. Neither having the guts to look at the other in fear that everything they went through, together, would come back. It had been over 6 months since they had last seen one another and yet neither looked the same.

Y/N sat across from her childhood best-friend, stuck deep in thoughts of coming up with any excuse so she could leave this dinner that was inconviently set up by their parents. Her hands rested on the glass that was half full, one resting at the bottom while the other was left tracing the rim of the glass.

Pete, however, couldn't believe the person sitting across from him was the girl he grew up with for the past 18 years. Despite this being the reality the two truly had grown apart in the time. It was clear that neither of them wished to be here, let alone with the other.

The awkwardness of the dinner got worse as a server made their way over to their table, neither having looked at a menu since they sat down. Pete was quick to glance at the menu and make up his mind on what the two would be eating. "And what can I get you two started with?" The sound of the waiter pulled the female from her thoughts as she looked towards Pete in hopes of him ordering for the two. "We'll both have the steak and chips"

Watching as the waiter messily scribbled down the order Pete had given, before walking away. "So, how have you been?" Looking up from her awkward postition and giving a small smile Y/N answered "Pete, as much as I want us to go back to being friends its been 6 months just being here in unbareable. So lets just eat and then leave, please"

Silence once again rested over the table, conversations of other people seemed to pick up as the two sat waiting for food. "So thats it then? 18 years gone because you find it awkward" groaning at his voice once again "yes, if that shuts up up the answer is yes" fighting a grin on his face he couldnt help but chuckle at the females anger towards him "Wow, youve never been one to agree guess thats another thing thats changed"

Her eyes shot up as she looked at him in pure hate "Thats it. Thank you for wasting my time Mitchell but I believe i have somewhere more important to be." Standing straight up from her seat, the sound of wood dragging on the tiles disturbing everyone around them. Pete was quick to follow calling her name out as she stormed out of the restaurant to get away from the man that had caused her fury. "Y/N! Y/N! Cmon, i was joking, jesus when'd you become such a hardass" stopping in her traces she turned to look at him once again. "A hardass!? When'd you become such an asshole? Thats the question we really need answers to"

The two stood across from one another now, rather than sitting like they were in the restaurant. "You changed Pete. Not me, maybe thats why we stopped being friends. I came today to say one final goodbye before I leave and you still made it about you" Y/N began walking off once again leaving Pete to finally allow reality to hit him.

The way she was leaving was exactly how he had left. Karma had finally came an hit him, ten times harder than he had expected. The reality set in as he frantically looked for her, only to see that she was still walking away. All the years of being around her had given way for a large soft spot in his heart, for her and only her. It was one no other could fill no matter what they did to try. She would always be the one piece that would complete him.

Taking off in a run, he caught up to her grabbing her wrists to stop her from leaving him. Unaware of the tears that were streaming down his face, Pete pulled her in for a hug. His arms wrapped tightly around her waist to keep her still, his head rested on her shoulder as he kept apologising over and over.

Shocked at his sudden actions Y/N stood there, not knowing how if she should forgive him and embrace him aswell or to tell him to go to hell and push him off. But regardless one side won over the other as her arms went around him aswell, her own eyes glossed over with tears. Time seemed to stop around the two as they hugged, only eachother there as everything else seemed to go by in slow motion.

"You cant leave, ya hear me? You just cant go, not after what we've been through, its me and you against the world" his little confession of how things were caused her to laugh as she pushed him away to look him in the eyes "I guess you're right mitchell, its you AND me against the world" his face lights up at her agreement. Grabbing her hand he walks off with her keeping the pace as the two begin to talk bout everything that had happened with the months they had been seperated.
