I hate this song, it brings back some many memories that I just want to forget. 🙃
Song: In My Mind
Artist: Heather Headley
Y/N's mind had been through hell and back. She stared at her phone blankly debating whether or not she wanted to call Keith's phone. The last time she had a conversation with him she blew up in his face at their best friend's wedding.
Flashback
Y/N turned her head away and whispered,"...No." as she fought back the tears. "I know we both agreed to end things but I didn't think it would be this hard to be friends especially when everybody is throwing it in our face. This should be our wedding day. I should be saying I do to the man of my dreams, the love of my life. I'm still in love with you but we're bad for each other.
"Y/N..." Keith spoke softly.
Y/N held her hand up. "I'm not finished. I thought I could do this shit but I can't be friends with you so delete everything. Leave the past in the past." Y/N looked at Keith one more time before turning around and walking out of reception.
Y/N was bought out of her thoughts when the phone's ringer echoed through the dark room. The screen lit up showing a picture of her and Keith smiling hard into camera. Her hand went up to her mouth as she looked at her screen in shock. Her finger contemplated whether she wanted to answer but her heart made the decision for her before her mind could stop her.
There was silence on the phone. Both individuals waited for the other one to speak. It had been two years since their last conversation. Keith was still hurt by what was said but he also knew that it was better that they did move on. He was physically with different women for the past two year but mentally and emotionally his heart craved Y/N.
Y/N, on the other hand, hadn't been with anybody for the past two years because she knew that Keith still had the key to her heart. In her mind , she was still Keith's woman.
"I'm sorry. I'm sorry I wasn't there for you when you needed me. I'm sorry I put my career before you. I'm sorry that I wasn't good enough for you. I'm just sorry for breaking your heart and causing you that pain." Keith finally broke the silence. He wanted to get that off his chest for a while and be free from the hurt that he caused himself.
Y/N didn't say anything for a moment. Keith thought she hung up. He pulled the phone back to check and saw she was still on the line.
"Y/N can you say something?," Keith had desperation dripping from his voice.
"I..uh...I accept your apology. I kept everything that was going on with me inside, instead of confiding in you. You had the right to know." Y/N paused to collect her thoughts. "You were my best friend and you were going to be the father of our child. When I lost the child, I blamed you and your career because I was angry at myself. I'm sorry for that and pushing you away. You're still the love of my life, Keith." With the final words spoken, Y/n finally broke down. She felt like she was finally free from her jail of emotions.
There was silence on Keith's end as he listened to her cry on the phone. They both had their issue but deep down they knew that their hearts needed each other.
The silence started to become unbearable. Y/N wanted a response from Keith. She pulled the phone away from her face and realized that he had hung up the phone. Y/N closed her eyes and sighed. She rose from her seat on the floor - pulling at her hair. Her breath quickened as she felt herself having an anxiety attack. Her hands shook while the room spun. There was sounds coming from the front door. Keys jingled as Y/N tried to catch herself from falling.
"Y/N?! ," Keith rushed into the house and grabbed Y/N before she could fall. He held her as they slid down the wall together. He repeatedly kissed her forehead and rocked her back and forth.
Y/N felt herself finally calm down. She wrapped her arms around his torso and inhale his scent. She looked up at him as he looked down. He leaned down as kissed her lips. He felt his body temperature rise and his hands seem to have a mind of their own. They roamed all over her body as felt on what he was missing for two years. He stopped when he tasted tears. His eyes opened and he looked at Y/N. "Baby you got to stop crying. No girl is going to take your place. You're forever Mrs. Powers."
Y/N bit her lip to keep from smiling. She brought Keith's face towards hers and kissed him sweetly. She was his again.
