Chapter 25

Then she kissed him, and he realized. He didn't like her. Like actually didn't. He pulled away.

He opened his mouth, not sure what to say.

"I've wanted this for so long. But.. I think im just holding on to a memory." Miguel said.

Nathi's smile faded.

"And also im just.." He started. He looked at Y/n, who was walking out of the house.

"Im sorry." He said, walking away.

—

Y/n was now in town, which wasn't a long walk from the house. Tears in her eyes as she thought about him.

She pulled over a cab, who drove up to her. She got in. When she sat down, the tears came flowing, with no intention to stop.

—

Back at the party, some people had gone outside for air, one of them being Miguel.

"I've never seen Y/n like this before, and I've known her a long time." Maddy said.

"Really?" Jacob replied.

"Hey, when they absolutely hated eachother, You were the one who said there is a thin line between love and hate." Maddy told her.

"Well i wasn't the first person who said that but yeah sure." Jacob said, taking a bite his cake.

"I know it sounds pretty crazy, but even when they were bickering, I've never seen her happier." Maddy stated.

"Same with Miguel." Jacob said.

Miguel sat there at the table, that conversation.. No, it was just another ploy.

"Hey Mason! May i have a word?" Brady said.

Yep, it was a ploy.

"Yes, but make it quick. I promised Sydney Sweeney a dance." Mason replied.

Brady slapped his arm. "As if she's here and as if you could pull her!" He whisper-yelled.

"Ha, ha, ha, you're so clever. You know who's also clever? Miguel." Brady said normally.

Miguel glanced over at them.

"You know who's perfect for him? That one pretty girl who always looks like she's got a secret." Mason said.

"You know her name is Y/n!" Brady replied, slapping his arm again.

"That was a callback!" Mason yelled, slapping Brady's arm, turning the whole thing into a cat fight.

Miguel stood up. "Will you stop? Just stop."

"Ah! How you doing Mikey!" Mason said in a nonchalant way.

He walked over to the middle of the patio.

"And you too!" He said to Jacob and Maddy.

"What?" Maddy asked.

"Just stop with the loud talking and the overhearing. Stop!" Miguel said.

"Bro we didn't even know you we're sitting there." Jacob replied.

"Yeah its true! We didn't know you were listening!" Maddy added.

Mason held up his hand. "We did!"

Brady gave him a handshake. "And we nailed it."

"What is with you people. This entire weekend, i have been lied to, manipulated and puppeteered. I don't know what's real and what's not!" Miguel said.

"Dude i know you're a little blurry but what Maddy said up there was actually the speech i gave her about love before i asked her to be my girlfriend." Jacob said.

"Love is too precious a resource to be wasted." Maddy added.

Miguel looked around. Realising everyone knew.. That he was in love with her.

"I haven't seen her is she uhm..?"

"She went on a walk a while ago." Maddy told him.

"After she saw you kissing Nathi." Jacob added.

"What? No I didn't kiss Nathi, she kissed me. I backed up. I don't wanna be with
Nathi-" Miguel rambled.

Tristan came waltzing in. "Just stop it. You gorgeous fucking idiot. Run! Don't wait on love. Fight for it."

"Where is she?" Miguel asked.

"She said she wanted to walk around, do some people watching." Maddy replied.

"That's what she said? People watching?" Miguel asked.

"I think it was more a euphemism for crying alone." Jacob said.

"No, its not. I know exactly where she is." Miguel smiled.

"Then good god man, go get her! Scour the city, block by block, scan the grid-" Mason started.

"No- Mason i know exactly where she is." Miguel told him.

"Oh well that makes it a lot easier."

Then Javon and Nathi walked over, Javon was holding a mug.

"What's going on guys?" Javon asked.

"Is that Nathi's coffee?" Miguel asked.

"Uh yeah-" Javon replied.

Miguel grabbed the cup and chugged it.

"I just need to run through every wedding in town." Miguel said.

Everyone looked at him confused.

He ran into the house, a few seconds later everyone saw him running to the balcony and onto the highest jumping board they had.

"Call harbour rescue!" He yelled.

Splash.

He jumped in the water and started swimming as far as he could.

"Oh my god!" The group yelled and schrieked together.

—

A few minutes later, the helicopter arrived.

He wrapped himself in the harness and got lifted up.

"Baby im perfect for you." He sang quietly as he was flying.

When he got in the helicopter he turned to the pilot. "Can we make a pit stop at the Matheson hammock lake?"

And there he went, on the way to win back the love of his life.
