Me and Princeton have been friends since like kindergarten. Ever since 6th grade, I’ve liked Prince. And I’m talking about completely smitten. I never told him though. We’d always dance and sing together. Matter of fact, we did everything together. Well, in 9th grade, my mom got a job offer in another city and we had to move. It was so hard to be away from him. My phone got damaged and I lost all contact with Princeton. I saw him on twitter a couple of times, but I decided not to make this harder than it was. According, to his twitter he has a girlfriend now and they’ve been together for two years. Now, it’s my Senior year and I’m moving back.
I got out of the car and helped my mom tote stuff in the house. After everything was put up, I decided to pay my dear old friend, Prince, a visit.
I rung his doorbell. I heard him yell out “coming!”. Prince swung the door open and my mouth dropped. He was even more gorgeous than he was 3-4 years ago. I was speechless. I was just at a lost for words.
“Y/N, what are you doing here?” He asked me.
“We moved back.” I explained, with a nervous look on my face.
“No, I mean why are you at my front door? You didn’t contact me all this time. Why now?” He asked. I could hear the anger in his voice.
“I-I,” I stammered.
“I tried to call you. I tried to contact you in every way. I wanted to tell you how I felt… how I felt about you. But I guess that didn’t matter huh? ” Prince spat.
“H-How did you feel? ” I asked him.
“Doesn’t matter now. It’s far too late. ” Prince said.
“Prince I need to tell you something.” I told him.
“Shoot, ” Prince said, folding his arms.
“Can I use your piano? I think it’ll be better that way. ” I asked him.
“Okay, ” he said to me.
I walked into his house. Everything looked the same. Everything smelt the same. I sat at the piano and began playing it and singing along.
“I heard that you’re settled down, that you found a girl, and you love her now. I heard that your dreams came true. Guess she gave you things I didn’t give to you……. I hate to turn up out of the blue, uninvited, but I couldn’t stay away. I couldn’t fight it. I’d hope you’d see me face, and that you’d be reminded that for me it isn’t over. ” I sung.
Prince’s expression was blank. Maybe, Prince didn’t want me anymore. Maybe he had truly moved on.
“Nevermind I’ll find someone like you, ” I continued.
I banged my hand down on the piano.
Tears began to fall from my eyes. I looked up at Prince, hoping, praying that he would say something, anything. But he didn’t. He just stared with a blank expression. I got up from the piano and made my way to the door.
“Wait,” he called.
I turned around. He had tears falling from his eyes also. I just broke down.
“Prince I’m sorry. Moving was just so hard for me. I just couldn’t keep in contact with you . It just hurt so much, knowing that I wouldn’t be able to see you. I’m sorry. I’m sorry. I’m sorry.” I muttered, moving closer to him.
He held his arms open wide and I cried on his chest. Thousands of my wet tears stained his shirt. He then spoke.
“Y/N look at me, ” he said, grabbing me by my face. I love you. I never stopped and never will. I know I’m going to hurt my girlfriend, but right now. I don’t care. I wanna be with you and only you. I wanna be the one that sends you that good morning text. I wanna be the one whose chest you cry on when you’re having problems. I wanna be yours and I want you to be mine. ”
I was so speechless. I hugged Prince tight, then pulled back so I could look into his eyes. He then pulled me in for a kiss.
“Oh, and that someone like me? You’ll never find him. You’re gonna have to settle for the real thing. ” he said, smiling.
I smiled and kissed him again.
