Caitlin just sadly smiles across the party watching you. You are happy and smiling with someone else that isn't her.

"How are you so happy?" She whispers to herself as she watches you kiss that someone. It tugs at her heart strings. It's her own doing.

She looks in her cup and wanders away. She can't keep thinking about you and the things she never said.

She should just go home. Finishing off a few more drinks she comes to the final decision.

"Hey I'm going to head home." She whispers to Gabbie. While you, Jada and Kate are singing along to Usher.

"I can go wit....." Caitlin waves the smaller girl off.

"Enjoy the night I'm just sleepy." Faking a yawn. Gabbie nods.

"Let me know when you get in sweet pea." She kisses Caitlin's cheek. This triggers the others to notice that she's leaving. She hugs everyone while you give a small wave.

"Call if you need anything Coco." You say. She gives a thumbs up and leaves out. The walk isn't long. But you are the only thing that fills her mind. She fucked up.

You are laughing as she chases you around the couch. You grabbed her butt for the millionth time that day. So she's trying to get payback.

"Stop flipping over the couch doing parkour and shit." You keep laughing until you fold over. She takes this as the chance to get payback. Straddling you and tickling you.

You are smiling and laughing so hard.

Your smile is so fucking beautiful and infectious. So is your laugh. It's cliche but it's definitely music to her ears. She loved making you laugh.

"Long day love?" You ask as she hugs you tight once you enter. She nods in the crook of your neck. "Okay come on." You lead her to the couch.

Allowing her to relax with you. You rub her back and play with her hair. No talking involved just you playing soft music from your phone. After a while you decide she can't mope forever.

"Coco I need you to shower and take just a little time to yourself. I'm going to make us something to eat. We can either talk about it or I can hold you while we watch trash reality tv. Or some random movie."

"Okay." She whispers. Before she leaves the couch you kiss her forehead.

She opens the door to her apartment and goes for the shower. She sits on the floor of the shower and some tears escape. She breaths deeply to hold them back.

After a while in the shower she gets out checking all the messages. Getting dressed while reading all of them asking if she made it in. She thumbs them up. Until she gets to yours.

She settles on the couch and hugs herself as she cries. Rereading the simple little message.

From Lil Bear💛🐻: Hey.... You looked a little tired. Let me know if you need anything. I'm always here. I know your home..... Take care of yourself.

This leads her to scroll through the old messages you two shared. Looking back at the times you would call her babe or love. Until one message catches her attention. The one that hurts. You called her out on her shit but took all the blame.

From Lil Bear💛🐻: You'll always be a special person in my life but right now..... Right now... you have different priorities and I'm not one of them..... I probably never will be. I'm sorry for arguing with you. I'm sorry for not being enough. For wanting too much. I.... I just couldn't...... I couldn't take not being appreciated. Or accepted. But please forever remember actions speak louder than words. I love you Coco.... I'll always be here
