2:09pm

you pray he hasn't changed his number in the three years you haven't talked to him, you put in his number and press call.

brrt brrt. brrt brrt.

---"hello?"

---"hey Ian! it's y/n, how've you been?"

Ian- "oh, hey y/n! I've been good, what's up? not to seem unhappy but why'd you call me?"

"I just wanted to maybe, meet up and talk some stuff over? I was hoping we could still be friends after i basically ghosted you and Anthony for three years."

"I'm really fucking sorry about that Ian. you two didn't deserve that and I wish I had done things differently.

Ian- "hey, hey! it's okay!"

"god I missed you Ian, I don't get how you're so understanding all the time."

Ian- "that's just my charm working it's tricks on you y/n."

Ian- "wanna meet at our usual spot?"

"you still remember where we used to hang out??"

Ian- "of course I do! it wasn't that long ago we met up there."

"will you bring Anthony?"

Ian- "do you want me to?"

"of course I do! you aren't the only one who's owed an apology you know."

------------------
time skip to our spot...

3:24pm

I pace in a circle whilst waiting for Ian and Anthony to arrive.

"he said 3:15, where are they?"

snap!

I whip my head around...
nothing???

another snap

ah, it's the boys messing with me.

"hey boys, you aren't very good at sneaking"

Ian- "wait, how'd you know it was us!?"

the two boys make their way out from behind a thick tree trunk, big enough for two people to fit behind...

"because it seems like something you'd do."

I glance over to where the sound of Ian's voice is coming from, and there he is. Anthony. my childhood best friend and, apparently, still crush.

my face goes red as I look at him. he's much more handsome then I remember.

I choke on my words

"uh, hi Anthony." I say with a smile.

Anthony- "hi y/n, I missed you."

he looks almost relieved to have said that, like a weight was lifted off his chest.

he's so, pretty. I just want to go over there and tell him how perfect he looks, how handsome he is, how much I've missed him, his presence.
but I can't, I'm frozen, staring at his beautiful face.

Ian- "earth to y/n?" clap!

"huh? what is it?"

Anthony- "you. you've been starting at me for like fourty seconds."

"really? oh, sorry. I'm just really overwhelmed to see you guys face to face again."

a lie. well, kind of a lie.
sure it's overwhelming to see my best friends after such a long time but, Anthony always had this way of making me nervous.

Anthony- "yeah it is a little overwhelming, but are you okay?"

there he is, that's the Anthony I remember. so kind and caring, no wonder I'm head over heels for him.

"I'm alright Anthony, I'm mostly excited now."

Anthony- "how come?"

"talking to my best friends face to face after three years, maybe hanging out later?"

Ian and Anthony smile wide and nod. they almost seem more excited than me, almost.

"I do have to talk to the two of you though, about something less happy."

Anthony nods.
Ian- "go ahead y/n."

"I'm really fucking sorry about what I've done. you two didn't deserve that, I wish I had done things differently, said things differently, I needed a break, but after a while I was just too scared to talk to the both of you. a part of me thought that you'd understand, but the other... I thought you'd hate me, so I stopped talking to you completely. like a cowardly asshole. I'm sorry."

Ian- "hey! it's okay! you were scared, we get that. but you didn't have to be! and it seems like deep down you knew that."

Anthony- "we both missed you, so, so much, and neither of us blame you for what you did. sometimes you just, need a break"

how are they so nice? how is everything about them perfect?

"I'm sorry for ruining the mood guys, but I had to say sorry, to both of you."

they both smile in acknowledgement.

Ian- "thank you y/n."

a/n
next chapter is gonna be about buying smosh!

I think that's about it for tonight, it's 4am an I have school tomorrow, plus I'm so tired my vision is going blury.

I really hope you enjoyed the first chapter!
this is my first fic I've written (although I've read many) so I apologise for how terrible and "ooh I'm y/n and I'm sooooo quirky" it may be, because that is not my intent.

(I hope y'all know how much I hate that shit but now I get that it's hard not to write like that 😭)
