•Your POV•

It's been a year and a half since I've left Alfie. I never moved on. I never did. But throughout my journey on that life changing ride, I learned a lot of things.

All the hardships through it. (G/n) taught me that being mean or getting into problems will cause you to be hated. But either way, she chose to run away from it and not to fix it.

But what will I do? Will I fix it? What if he's already moved on? Yes, I still love him. So what if I do?

I think I'll actually do something today, try to fix things. Like...

Going to the yearly food festival!! Yum yum!

Yet again, that's the place where I met him. I didn't attend last year, so this should be fun!

I place my clothes headed downstairs. It was a beautiful day, the sun was shining, the puddles were actually glimmering, the birds were chirping— all was well.

I arrived to my destination! Hamburger street! Emma couldn't come with me because she had to run some errands. What a shame it was, so I guess I'm all alone again.

The festival wasn't really far. And I see that there aren't many people this year.

The hamburger stall...

It's there. The place where me and Alfred met. It all started at that one stall. But let me not mind that! Let me just eat the delicious and juicy hamburger!

So I took my place in the line and saw a tall man in front of me. He had dirty blonde hair and was wearing a nice brown leather jacket. Maybe I'm just hallucinating, it's not really him, is it?

A couple of 3rd graders were whims me playing. They were really noisy. I got annoyed. All of a sudden, a kid bumped me from playing their silly game, and I hit the man in front of me, as well. We both fell, his face flat on the floor while I fell on his back. He groaned.

"I-I'm so sorry! Sir, are you alright?!" I shouted, he might be someone important.

My right arm supported me on not falling while my left was on his chest.

He sat up and looked at me.

"Long time no see, (y/n)," He laughed, "I see it was your turn to fall on me."

Who knew? He was someone important. He's that one missing piece in my heart that makes me smile. Could I re-live that ride over again?

•Author's POV•

The both of you went and sat down on a nearby picnic table.

"So..."

"So... Uh..."

I coughed to break the silence, "How's life?" I smiled.

"It's going pretty fine..." He took a bite of his burger.

I took a deep breath, "Haveyoubeendatingsomeone?!" I blurted out. Not even thinking about the consequences afterwards, "Ah, well loners have to know their fellow loners!" I gave the same old reason I told him before.

"Heh... No. Ever since you left I've..." he stopped for a while.

The awkward silence came one again.

"How's your life?" His goofy and obnoxious smile and laugh swept across his face.

'Oh how I missed that smile. That smile will never come off clean from my mind.'

I saw him blush a bit and I felt my face heat up as well.

"It's been 2 years. Hah, it's been that long?" A sad smile formed on me. Was it really that long?

"It felt like it was just 5 days ago... Was it? Well, no..." He laughed.

This conversation was getting me nowhere with him. It was killing me. It was painful. I could never get closer to him at this state. Should I just... Back away?

But I want to talk to him...

A little while longer and ask him about the questions that I've kept asking before.

"The other countries... Do they still hate me? Do they still hate anyone you bring in?" I could feel small beads of tears forming in my eyes.

"About that..." he rubbed his neck, "They felt sad about what happened. They said that you did nothing wrong, so basically... They forgave you..."

Those words made me so happy. But I can't go back now. It'd make me feel embarrassed.

"I'm glad to hear that. A-Anyways! I have to go," I said an I walked away from the picnic table.

As I was about to make my exit from the park, a hand grabbed my wrist.

"WAIT!" He shouted. It was Alfred.

He started, "Please...

Can we re-live that life changing ride again?"

To Be Continued...
