Meant to Be

Realization

**Liam's Point of View**
I wake up and find myself still lying beside Jennifer who is peacefully asleep. Her soft eyes are shut taking away everything around her. Her blonde hair rests at her shoulders and her soft lips form a small pout that makes her look cuter than ever.
She is beautiful. Still beautiful. Always was beautiful.

But I cannot think of her in that way.
Something could've happened between us a year ago, but I lost my chance.
I didn't talk to her for nine whole months. She probably thinks I'm a jerk.
I was too busy and lost in my own relationship, and I don't know what I feel about it anymore. I did love Miley. Before our split. But after that, things have changed and I have repelled away from her. It's not the same.
I could end things off, but the media would go wild.
The media has turned mine and Miley's relationship into something it isn't. And I don't know how to control that. It's like I'm being brainwashed. Brainwashed by Miley. Brainwashed by the media. It doesn't make sense anymore.

But it's too late. I have lost my chance and I need to get over it.

My phone buzzes and I reach out to grab it from the bedside table.
I turn it on and a bright screen filled with several messages appears.
Messages from Miley.
Liam when are you coming?
????
You said you'd be back by midnight
Where are you??
You better not have stayed with her
Liam??
Answer my calls!!
????
I sigh and put the phone back down without replying. I didn't know that I would end up staying the night at Jenn's house.
But it was nice to talk to her and the rest of the cast again. I don't want to lose contact with Jennifer again.
I made a mistake, but I won't make it again.

I look at my phone to check the time. It is almost ten o clock. I should go back home, back to Miley. She's gonna be mad, and I should be ready to listen to her lecture.
I lie there staring at the ceiling for the next few minutes. Then I decide that I should get up and leave. I would wait for Jenn to wake up, but I can't. I am already in too much trouble from Miley.
I look down at Jennifer and push back a few strands of blonde hair from her eyes.
Then, I plant a soft kiss on her forehead and leave.

I get in my car and follow the road to mine and Miley's apartment in Beverly Hills.
As I drive with my hands on the wheel, I cannot stop thinking about Jennifer.
Perhaps things could've worked out between us when we had the chance. But the thing is perfection doesn't exist. You cannot get what you want all the time. If it was that easy, I would've told Jenn that I love her a long time ago.

Maybe I'll send her a message before she wakes up and describe in large detail everything I adore about her. And possibly she'll wake up with a smile on her face.

**Jennifer's Point if View **
Slowly and reluctantly, I uncover my face from the sheets on my bed.
I blink, close my eyes, and blink again. There is nothing worse than waking up after a night of drinking.

Streaks of sunlight penetrate the window and blind me. I have no idea what time it is, but it seems like it's almost noon.
As my thoughts come together, I remember that I wasn't alone last night.
Liam was here. He stayed the night.

I reach over and my fingers fumble to grasp my phone that is sitting on the bedside table. Finally, I succeed and turn it on.
A message from Liam ignites the screen.

Good morning Jenn,
I'm sorry I had to leave without saying goodbye. I didn't wanna wake you up because you looked so perfect as you were peacefully asleep!
I just wanna say thanks for having me over. I've missed you so much!
I promise that we will see each other again very soon! <3

Slowly, a small grin forms on my face. I am glad to have Liam back.

Finally, I sit up, drag my feet off the bed, and rub my eyes with the tips of my fingers. I stretch my arms above my head and yawn as I watch my legs dangle above the white polyester carpet.
Then I get up, and start my day.

**Liam's Point of View**
Right when I walk through the door, I notice Miley sitting on the couch with her eyes on her phone.
She sees me and I realize that she is furious.
"Finally," she says as she gets up,
"Where were you all night?" Miley asks.
I begin to answer but she doesn't let me finish.
"I knew you were with her. I knew it was a bad choice letting you go. Why the hell were you with her?!" She yells.
"I told you that I wasn't sure what time I was going to come back. And why do you have a problem that I was with Jennifer?!" I reply back.
"Because she-" Miley starts again.
"Jenn is my friend and you shouldn't have a problem if I am with her! You didn't let me see her for so long and now when I spent one night with her, you're getting mad? If you have an issue with that, then maybe we have a problem!" I snap.

Miley continues to ramble and argue. But I realize that there is no point in fighting back because I know she won't let me win.

I walk straight to our bedroom and slam the door.
I close my eyes and take a moment to calm down.
That's when I decide that I am going to do everything in my power to try to win Jennifer back.
