Simone POV

I woke up with hella itchy and puffy eyes, knowing today was for sure a no-lashes and glasses day. I looked over at Imani who was still sleeping and the sight of her made tears form immediately.

I miss her so much already, but I have to be strong.

I made my way to the bathroom and splashed some warm water on my face to wake up a bit. I was trying to wrap my head around why this breakup seemed to be worse than Gia and why I was already so heartbroken. My thoughts were interrupted as she walked in.

" My fault ma-Simone, " She sighed, turning back around as a tear fell. All I wanted was to just lay in my bed and cry alone.

" My friend is gonna be over in a bit to help me move to her dorm, " I mumbled while leaving the bathroom.

" Who ? " She asked, raising a brow.

" Her name's Willow, she's a Sophomore Psychologist major," I responded.

" Ight, " She mumbled, looking down at her phone.

I got dressed and started to pack my things up as there was a knock at the door. I went to answer it, seeing Willow as I smiled and let her in.

" Hey princess, " She nodded as I blushed over the continued nickname.

" Hey, my stuff is ready, we just need to move it, " I explained as she nodded and grabbed some boxes. Willow's building was across from ours, so this wouldn't take too long thankfully.

" That's her ? " Imani laughed when she left.

" Yeah... fuck you say it like that for ? " I asked, crossing my arms.

" Nun, I just like how you think you can replace me," She smirked.

" What are you talking about ? "

" You'll see ma, " She replied, chuckling to herself.

" Someone sounds jealous ? " I asked.

" I know what's mine, no matter what you say Simone. We're broken souls and we belong together, it's just not the right time," She responded seriously as I looked down.

" I don't believe you, " I frowned, not knowing what I believed.

" Yes you do baby, I can see yo wall showing through. I'll continue to break them down soon tho don't you worry. When I said I would wait for you I meant it, " She replied, grabbing my face and kissing my forehead. "I love you Simone. "

I didn't say anything as I grabbed the last of my boxes and headed out to Willow's dorm.

" Damn it's huge in here ! " I gawked as I stepped in.

" You like it princess ? " She asked as I nodded and jumped for one of the beds. Like I said she has no roommates, but it was suite style with 3 beds.

" I really appreciate you letting me stay with you knowing we only met yesterday, it means alot, " I smiled. I can't live with Cam again and Sasha's boyfriend practically lives in her dorm now, so I'm not third wheeling. Willow seemed to be the only choice other than a stranger.

" Sure, I be lonely anyways so it's cool, " She laughed. "I got class tho so I'll holla at you later princess, "

I nodded as she walked out and I unpacked some of my things. Maybe this is just what I need to either really think, or to just force myself to move on.

Time will only tell.

Imani POV

I was laying down crying as I listened to Best Part by HER and Daniel Caesar. I lost Simone again, but I know I'm not letting her go that easily.

Especially to some wannabe stem named Willow.

I scoffed at the thought of them as I wiped my tears. All I could do now was wait and give Simone time because that seemed to be the only option. I know Simone is my soulmate, whether she likes it or not and she's stuck with me. I'm not letting her go that easily just because I made a dumb mistake.

I have been looking from Simone's POV tho. I can see why it's harder to move past it since Eryn was my first love who cheated on me and I turned around and did the same to Simone. I take complete fault for what happened, I just wish it could be erased.

Even if Simone didn't see it than it would've been better. I would've still told her, but I know that image is gonna be in her brain for a long time.

She's forgiven me, but I hope one day she can forget so that I can give her all my love again. She shined a light on me that's been dim since highschool, and I hate that I killed it just as easily. She deserves better than me I'm sure of it, but no one will love her how I did. No one is gonna be patient with her like me because I come with my own baggage that others don't wanna deal with. But Simone did, and even tho we were working on ourselves, we helped each other to grow still.

I can't do that with anyone else but Simone and I'm not quitting on her.

She's the one, I won't give up Hope.
