Where did we go wrong?

Awkward Encounter

"I'm ready to go whenever you guys are." Natalie said waiting for us to finish our spaghetti and alfredo.

"Yeah , i'm ready to get out of here. Were you guys going to spend the night?" Margo said standing up.

"Yeah if that's okay with you!" I replied feeling better about that day already.

We got up to walk out.

" Hey uh , lets go through the mall then leave. I don't really want to go out this way." Natalie said obviously avoiding something.

"Why? Nat I have to get my stuff from my hou-" My heart dropped. This was the first time i'd seen him since the break up.

"Oh, Hey Dylan." Jack's face kind of went blank.

I couldn't take my eyes off their interlocked hands.

"Hi ." I said trying to hold back my worthless tears. Why cry in front of him? I thought to myself. He did this to you. He got rid of us. Don't give him that satisfaction.

"Uh , this is my girlfriend Madison. Madison , this is an old friend of mine Dylan."

Madison stuck her hand out to me and I shook it.

"Jeez louise aren't you gorgeous!" She said smiling as big as ever.

"Thank you." I replied bluntly. "You're so beautiful as well."

"Well hey , we were about to get some food if you guys want to come wit-" Margo cut him off.

"No , we were actually going to my house to hang out with Johnson right now." She replied with sass.

"Alright. U-uh. It was good seeing you ba- I mean Dylan. It was really nice seeing you. You look great." He said. He looked sad in his eyes. I know those eyes I know what he's feeling and man do I miss him so much.

" You too jack."

And they were gone.

"cause baby now we got bad blood"

"Margo can you turn it down please?" I said pouting flicking my thumb through old instagram posts.

"I'll do that once you put down your phone down. Have fun Dyl. You can't let this keep getting to you. Do you want me to invite Derek?" She replied leaning on Johnson's chest.

"Oh god please no." Johnson said "That fool is so damn annoying."

"But he's a cutie and him and Dyl could hit it off so quickly!" Nat screamed from Margo's kitchen.

Derek was one of the guys we used to hang out with in middle school. He was a super sweet guy , but of course once he talked all the girls turned away. There was nothing wrong with the way he talked , but once he started he wouldn't stop. He was tall and muscular , blonde with brown eyes.

"No you guys. I am really fine. It just hurts you know? We ended so harsh. I just wish there was a way of telling him, but I know him. Nothing will change his mind he's so stubborn."

"Dyl. I know him too. That's my bestfriend. I am pretty sure if you talk to him he will listen, he's not an ass." Johnson said.

"But I am saying nothing is going to make him want me back. And really that's all I want. I miss him. I miss those eyes. I miss his hands and his hugs and love. I just miss him okay?" I couldn't hold back my tears anymore. It all finally poured out. Even worse , I was now crying in front of Johnson. Jack's bestfriend.

GREAT.

I walked upstairs to Margo's bedroom and layed in her bed. What else was I supposed to do? I was hopeless. Hopelessly stuck on a vision that isn't real. Something I could never get back. I felt sick. I missed him so damn much.
