Love Triangle‧₊˚✧

a date to remember‧₊˚✧

-

after that morning you steered back to your regular, boring life. you know attending classes in college, chatting with your dorm mates and friends, then doing your job at the fast food place to pay the bills.

life became slow paced again. everyday was the same but familiar meant stable. despite all this, you told your friends the story of you meeting blur and getting entangled in a sort of love triangle with damon and graham. some of them believed you and some of them didn't.

because of that you questioned maybe you would never see damon again, maybe the universe isn't one to be trusted. you should be in control of your life not the universe, you thought this while laying on the bed of your dorm room. your mate was out with other mates, attending classes. you had skipped today because of the gloomy weather. bad excuse but you felt like shit.

your eyes got stuck on the fan spinning slowly as you remembered what you were doing just about last week, partying with your favourite band and watching damon along with graham dance for you and what you were doing now, staring at the fan of your room while feeling absolutely bleak.

you sighed and sat up on your bed. you thought once more before grabbing the napkin sitting inside your jacket. it was the one with crystal's number on it. you read her number off it and decided to dial it on your phone.

you heard a few beeps before she answered, "hello?" 

you went silent, you didn't know what to say and where to start.

"am i talking to a ghost?" she asked.

you let out a chuckle, "no, it's me." 

"oh, y/n!" she recognized your voice.

she followed that up by, "i miss you."

she said exactly what you wanted to say, crystal stole your words. your wrapped your fingers around the wire of the phone and leaned in.

"i miss you even more than damon or graham i reckon." she continued speaking.

you smiled, "i miss you too! a lot! cmon take me somewhere. i don't wanna be where i am right now. fuck this shit." you told her the truth because she made you feel comfortable enough.

"hmm do you want to elope and get married with me?" she said with so much conviction, causing you to laugh out loud and she laughed with you. 

"listen! listen! what about a double date! me and dave plus you and damon. he's been talking about you a lot, i am sure he misses. you need to meet him again." she proposed this plan.

"sounds like good fun, when?" you replied with a question.

"sunday." she spoke.

and that's how you had managed to score yourself a double date with damon albarn, your best friend and her boyfriend. your life finally started to seem eventful again and for the rest of the week this date was the only thing on your mind. the days went by slow but sunday came upon you eventually.

a few hours before the date crystal called you to tell you the address of the restraunt you all were going to meet at. you hung up and started getting ready. you were nervous but excited to return back to your crazy side of life. this was going to be a date to remember forever.

you wore an outfit of your choice, did your hair and told your dorm mate you were going on a double with damon even though she didn't believe you. then you left your university campus in a good mood. 

-

damon sat with dave and crystal, waiting for y/n. you were a bit late and it wasn't a big issue. damon was ready to be patient for you, he was actually being kept busy by the thoughts circling his mind, thoughts of what alex said to him. make her jealous to make her your permanent girl. 

then he felt crystal nudging him, "she's here." she said and pointed at y/n entering thru the door.

he saw you and leaned back into his chair, he was trying to do something, be something he shouldn't be. you noticed everyone and walked towards the table, "hello! i'm sorry for being late." you greeted them and sat down.

damon didn't say a thing for a good minute, you felt he was ignoring you.

"oh we almost left." then he shot you a condesending smile. this wasn't worth the wait.

"oh well-" you didn't know what to say in response. it had only been 2 weeks of you being away and damon felt like a different person. his aura seemed offt. what happened? you wondered. 

"no we didn't." crystal replied. she knew what damon was doing, alex was getting to his head making him act weird in order to seem "cool" or whatever.

looking at the vibe of the table, "we should order." dave broke his silence. 

everyone nodded in agreement and skimmed thru the menu. the table went silent for a while and it was peaceful but damon had to interrupt it.

"my girlfriend, you know- she always orders a chinese whenever we dine here." he smiled.

crystal shared an awkward look with everyone at the table. she was the only one who knew of alex's awful advice and how damon was following it either knowingly or sub-conciously.

"ok thanks for the information, damon i guess.." you felt that was unnesecarry. the air was filled with avoidable tension yet again.

"i'm going to get a chinese actually." dave stated and put down the menu.

you furrowed your eyebrows, "so dave's your girlfriend?" you looked at damon. 

everyone at the table except damon broke into laughter, it was a good break from the tension you all felt but damon on the other hand felt he had to do something more than this to leave an impact on you.

he invited over the waitress to the table, "what would you like to order?" she asked.

damon smiled and frowned, "the one i want isn't on the menu." 

she leaned in closer to him, "oh i'm sorry i-" she was caught off guard.

"you. you are not on the menu." a smirk formed on his face. you felt very uncomfortable, was this not a date a damon? was he drunk or something? this date was starting to hurt. 

the waitress laughed.

"go on tell me the specials of today." damon said.

in response the waitress went on about the special dishes. starters, main course and desserts and everything. 

"you should be on there too." he gave her a playful look. crystal felt second hand embarrasment at this point.

"thanks, damon." the waitress replied.

he smiled, "so you know who i am?" he rested his elbows on the table.

she nodded excitedly, "of course i do! i love blur! can i get an autograph." 

and just like that she was a blur fan to add salt to your wounds. you and everyone else proceeded to order after she made damon give her an autograph. all this felt very weird to you, this was a turn off. 

you were right. this was a date to remember but for all the wrong reasons.

-

after that day you decided to distance yourself from damon and of course it was hard. you missed the way he looked, the way he felt and you missed his smile, you missed everything. you would meet him again if he reached out to you first and apologised.

maybe you were at fault, you had gotten your hopes up too high. he must've had many girlfriends maybe he didn't lie. anyway, you still kept in touch with crystal. you two talked about non damon related things and grew a stronger bond each day. she was dying to tell you about alex ruining you and damon's relationship but she couldn't get herself to.

from that day on, you told yourself you weren't going to get entangled in this mess. you weren't going to let damon break your heart.
