Why am I here? I thought for the millionth time. 'Here' being the airport. I wasn't there to catch a flight or to be picked up by my parents or friends. Thought they did look at me like they'd seen a ghost when I told them about this adventure. No, I was here for her. Let me explain, a couple days prior to me leaning against a boring white wall, that I was probably getting dirty with my tattered sneakers, I got a text from her. My first,and last, love. After all these years I still had her number in my phone and she still had mine. By this point if anyone asked me what it said I could repeat it without a second thought. I never really understood exactly how much I missed her until I saw that name on your phone screen. It still had all of those god awful emojis she put in when the two of us were in high school. After agreeing to meet her here I finally got the courage to call her last night.
"Hello?"
"Hey.."
"(Y/N)? What time is it there?"
"Early.. or er.. late.. that doesn't matter. Why, out of all the people in Australia, do you want to see me?"
"I have something I need to talk with you about." She sounded energetic. Where was she?
"Okay. Why do you sound so hyped?" She laughed. I could almost feel her smile through the phone. "I just got off stage and I'm at the airport." Stage. Right. I immediately felt my heart drop. That's why she left me all those years ago. Tours. Recording. She wanted to be a rockstar. "I have to go.." She whispered. "I'm going to bed anyways I guess... see you tomorrow?"
"Yeah.."
"How will you know if it's me?"
"Love, it may have been years since I've seen you, but I'm in lo-" The call cut out as my phone died.. "Shit!" I yelled into the dimly lit room. I sighed and flopped back on my bed. "Are you alright?"
"I'm fine." My roommate leaned against the doorframe and looked at me. "Where ya goin tomorrow?"
"Wouldn't you like to know.." I muttered under my breath. "That would be why I asked." Devin flopped down beside me. "I'm going to meet someone at the airport." He crossed his arms in front of his chest and raised his eyebrow. "Who?"
"None of your business." I mocked his pose. "I am your bestie. We have matching tattoos. friendship bracelets. If you do not tell me right now I will sit on you so you can't go."
"Jenna.." I whispered. "Who?"
"Jenna! It's Jenna, okay?" His jaw dropped. "Jenna. As in Jenna McDougall?" I nodded and he glared at the phone I held in my hand. "Look. We have been best friends since birth. And I mean that literally," He laughed and then resumed his serious face, which for him is never serious, "She broke you. She left you. She gave up the most amazing girl in the world." He wrapped an arm around my shoulder and kissed the top of my head. "Honestly, I know you well enough by now, (Y/N). I know that this is something you're going to do whether I approve or not. If she hurts you and this was all for nothing then you come back here and we'll watch Netflix in our onesies and eat pints of ice cream for all three meals of the day." I smiled and hugged him before he yawned. "I'm going to bed. Night."
"Night, Dev' I waved and closed my eyes, hoping for peaceful sleep.
Well, obviously you know what I chose. I stuffed my hands in my jeans pockets and turned my headphones on full blast, hoping to ignore anyone. I closed my eyes for a bit until I felt someone tapping my shoulder. They were apparently desperate to get my attention. I finally gave in and pulled my earbuds out before looking at them. "I told you I'd know." She cut and dyed her hair, but of course I knew who it was. "Hey.." I looked into her eyes and she smiled at me. "Hey! Long time no see.." She tilted her head to the side and looked at me. "Here.." I mumbled, "Let me take those.." I took the bags she had and left her to my car. The walk there was silent with only slight glances at each other along the way. "I didn't realize before that by taking all her bags into my hands I didn't have anything to grab my keys with. "Um.." I blushed and looked at her, "Can you grab my keys out of my back pocket?" She blushed and nodded before retrieving them and unlocking the trunk. I put her bags in and looked at the way she was leaning against the passenger door. "You're trying so hard to act cool it's not even funny.." I laughed and she raised an eyebrow, "I am not acting. I'm fucking cool." She faked a pout and crossed her arms, giving me the same puppy dog eyes she did when we were kids. "Whatever you say, Jen Jen." She smiled and slid into the passenger seat. "I'm really cool though. I'm a rockstar, baby." She winked and i rolled my eyes. "Where to, Miss rockstar?" She gave me her address and I drove there. It wasn't that far from where Devin and I lived. "Are you going to be all gentlemanly and grab my bags again?" I shrugged and made my way to the trunk so i could grab her bags. She opened the door and led me to her bedroom to drop them off. I looked around the room and put my hands on my hips. "What're those?" I looked at a large bulletin board that hung above her bed. "Oh um that's nothing.." She laughed awkwardly. I sat on her bed to get a closer look at it. "Are these all the pictures we took together?" I ran my fingers along one of Jenna kissing my cheek at some party or another. "Y-yeah.." She rubbed her neck and looked down at her feet. 'Why do you even still have these?' I sighed and ran my fingers through my hair. "Because I miss you, you idiot." She glared at me, but her gaze softened when she saw the surprise in my eyes. "Sure you do." I stood up and crossed my arms over my chest.
"I do!" She yelled defensively.
"You were the one who left me, Jenna."
"I had to." She stared into my eyes and I looked away. "You didn't have to."
"Yes, I did. My band was taking off. I couldn't just leave you behind."
"Yet that's exactly what you did." i laughed bitterly and stormed out of the room. I walked out the front door, but before I could make my way to my car she grabbed my wrist. I spun around and she kissed me. "Please.. Let me explain.. I've been waiting years for this.." I bit my lip and followed her back into the house. "I shouldn't have left. It was a bitchy thing for me to do. I didn't think we could have survived all the distance. I was scared somebody else would take you from me. I was insecure and stupid and thought that breaking up with you would be better than you cheating on me." I glared at her and clenched my jaw, "Are you kidding me? You thought I would cheat on you? You were my everything. You still are my everything." She looked up at me and I saw the tears running down her face. "No.. Jen.. Don't cry.." I wrapped my arms around her and pulled her closer. "Jenna. I loved you. I still love you. I just wish you would've given me the chance to show you that instead of immediately assuming that if you were gone I'd cheat." I wiped her eyes and held her face in my hands. "It was stupid.. And I'm so sorry.." She looked down at her lap for a minute before looking up at me, "(Y/F/N) (Y/L/N), will you be my girlfriend.. again..?" I looked at her, "Is that my little Jen Jen who's never been on tour taking or is that my new Miss Rockstar?" I raised my eyebrow and she smiled. It was a true genuine smile. A smile that made her scrunch up her nose and bury her face in my chest. "Which one gets me the girl?" She whispered, "Either one. I'm not passing up this chance again." I kissed her forehead and she looked up at me, "Is that a yes?" I nodded and kissed her. I felt the same sparks return and take over my body. She wrapped her arms around me and I whispered against her lips, "Don't ever leave and stop loving me..." She stared at me and shook her head, whispering almost as softly, "(Y/N), I may have left and made the biggest mistake of my life doing so, but I never stopped loving you.. not even for a second..."
