[On Hold] Love Me Like You ~ Everlark

Prologue: Baseball Game

Kat's POV

I am currently sitting beside my best friend, Annie, watching a live baseball game along with her boyfriend, Finnick. I really did not want to join them in their mini date but Annie pursuaded me to come with them and here I am. Enjoying the baseball game I am currently watching live.

Fortunately, they were supposed to only get two tickets for themselves but they were the last ones to get it. There was one more left and the line behind them was really long. The people behind them were a group so they decided to buy the extra ticket. That's basically the story of how I got here.

Annie is clutching onto Finnick's arm while I am here, being a third wheel on their supposedly called date. I don't like to date anymore people because of my past three relationships. It was like experiencing versions of hell. My first relationship was throughout my high school life. His name is Marvel. We loved each other wholeheartedly. It was like a cheesy Disney fairytale. That is, until I found out that he was cheating on me with three other girls. What a jerk.

The next guy was in my first year of college. His name is Cato. At first, he was so kind and loving to me. That kind self stopped when I became friends with Annie who introduced me to Finnick. He didn't like Finnick. Not even one bit. He told me that he was too clingy but I told him that he was just a friend. Besides, he has Annie. We broke up because of misunderstandings.

My last one ended last month. He was head over heels in love with me. He has a crush on me since high school. Turns out, we studied in the same school because he was being such a stalker. I finally noticed him after I broke up with Cato. He was a sweet guy. He really is. But he stopped loving me because he said that I was too boring for his type. I shrugged it off and we continued with our relationship. But I broke it off when I found out that he has been cheating on me with Madge Undersee. I didn't care though- I never really loved him. I guess I was just feeling pity towards him. I just didn't want to be trapped in a loveless relationship so I broke it off.

I do want to be in another relationship. To give my heart another chance to love. But it's hard when you know that every guy you have been with, practically didn't like you anymore. For Marvel and Gale, they found a new girl. For Cato, it was because of his jealousy.

I watch the handsome guy hit and run for the ball. His name is Bryce Harper. He is a really good player, if I do say so myself. I think he is quite popular. He has a girlfriend though. She is a really pretty brunette. Like me. The only case is that I am not as pretty as her.

I sigh. I don't understand why guys don't like me anymore. No one would sacrifice themselves for me. That's how true love goes. But I think that can only be found in stories and I am inside reality. It's hard. I wish I had a perfect life like Annie. A guy that is there to love you. A beautiful body and face. A kind and loving attitude.

Suddenly, I feel really thirsty. I tap Annie on her shoulder and she turns to look at me. I swear, she is so perfect. I wish I had a life like her. She doesn't struggle much. While I do. A lot actually.

"Yeah?" she asks.

"I will just be there. Just to get a bottle of water." I say and she nods before turning her attention back to the game.

I walk past the other people watching to the guy who has two baskets on each arm and has bottles of water in his hands. His baskets contain chips and a lot of other kinds of food.

"One water, please." I say to the guy and he hands me one while I give him a dollar.

"Keep the change." I say even if I know that there isn't any change. Weird, I know.

I walk back to my seat and realize that the kiss cam is currently finding some couples to victimize. I chuckle and stop at my seat's row. I turn to my right and begin to walk through people's feet. When I reach the woman who is sitting beside Finnick, I stop and get my other foot through hers. Then I do the same with my other foot.

Except I fail miserably.

I slip but try to regain my balance. It just makes the scenario even worse. I tumble forward and finally my body lands on the ground. Except it actually did not land on the ground. It landed on a stranger and my face is an inch or two away from his.

Like that isn't awkward at all.

I didn't think I would still have time to be sarcastic when I notice that the kiss cam is now on the two of us when I don't even know this guy. He's pretty handsome though. I haven't evem noticed him even if he was sitting right next to me earlier. I notice everyone staring at us. That already includes Annie and Finnick. Annie is smirking while Finnick is smiling sheepishly at me.

As usual, when you are in the kiss cam, people begin to cheer for you two to kiss. I begin to argue with them though. Chants of 'kiss' are heard all over the stadium and the decision is left to the two of us. Maybe kissing him wouldn't be so bad at all. I mean, he is pretty handsome. Okay, let's face it. He is hot as fuck. No one could resist his blonde hair, straight jawline, charming smile and those cerulean blue eyes.

Oh, I sound like a princess from a faitytale now.

I don't notice what the hell happens next. All I know is that we are both leaning in and it feels like it happens in slow motion. I know that it isn't in slow motion but it just feels like it is. I would be so dead if he wasn't single. I know, I don't want a new relationship. But who said that a kiss would mean a new relationship? The cheers of the people around us is suddenly muffled and then it happens.

His lips are on mine.

If I still believed in happy endings, I probably would have thought that I finally found my prince charming. I wouldn't have hesitated. He would've thought that I am really weird if I didn't hesitate to kiss a stranger. My weird thoughts are interrupted when I feel his hands cup both of my cheeks and the kiss gets deeper.

I remember the people around who are currently watching us so I quickly pull away before we begin to do something stupid in public. Again, it is very weird because he is a stranger. I don't even know if we would still meet after this. After all, I am just 21. A lot still awaits me in my life.

I have this dream of being a popular singer one day. Maybe I coule make that dream come true as long as I begin to work on it. I have a lot of different songs that have been written by me. I want the whole world to know about it and maybe I can make that happen. Maybe I can make my dream into a goal or even a plan.

The guy helps me up and I clumsily sit back on my seat. I think about how his lips felt against mine. Oh, I was like experiencing a minute on cloud nine. He looks at me for a moment before returning his gaze to the game that I didn't even notice. It has already continued. Annie nudges me and I turn to face her with a foolish smile.

Maybe I could really make my life better.

Hey guys I hope you all liked the prologue.

You said that you wanted me to publish my Everlark drafts even if the franchise is over so I did. So far, I have published two drafts already. The other is last night and the second is this one.

Please vote and comment.
