The bell above the door of the coffee shop dings, Indicating that someone just walked in. That someone being me. I walk up to the order counter I'm all too familiar with and wait in line for my turn to order. "One hot chocolate please." I say to the Barista. He writes the order on the cup and tells me my total. Just as I'm pulling out cash to pay someone speaks for me. "I'll pay for her. Another hot chocolate to that order please." I turn around to thank the friendly stranger and as I do, I realize it's not a stranger. Grayson Dolan, my ex boyfriend stands behind me, paying for my drink. Grayson and I had broken up about 9 months ago over the fact that he had met someone else. It broke me, and for a while, I thought I was unfixable. But eventually, I didn't think about him daily, and I even went out with 2 or 3 guys. Today was one day though that Grayson was on my mind, and as much as I was mad at him for how he hurt me, I still loved him with all my heart. And I couldn't change that.
"Um thanks." I say. I can feel my cheeks turning red just from the two words I spoke to him. "It's my pleasure, really. Do you want to sit?" He asks me with a smile. Oh man how I missed his smile. Even the smallest of things could make Grayson give the brightest smile. Something I fell in love with very early on. "Um...I don't know it's kinda --" "just 5 minutes." Grayson cuts me off and pulls me to a booth in the corner of the coffee shop. Well this is going to be awkward. Grayson and I sit across from each other neither of us saying anything. "So how have you been?" Grayson asks breaking the awkward silence. "I've been good. I graduate next month actually." I say trying my best to make conversation. "How are you and Madison doing?" Maybe I was being a little petty but I was curious. "Maddie and I actually broke up about 2 months ago." He doesn't seem to broken hearted about it. If anything, he looks anxious. "Oh I'm sorry" I say taking a sip of my drink. "Nah don't be. It was mutual." Grayson takes a sip of his drink as well. And we're back to awkward silence. All we can hear is everyone else talking in the shop. "Do you remember that one fight we had, and you got so mad you threw a Christmas present at the TV and broke it?" (Inspired by a true story)Grayson tries not to laugh as I try to keep the hot drink from flying out of my mouth. "The best part is, it wasn't even anything heavy, it was a sweater." I say laughing.
And after that, the conversation wasn't so awkward. We talked for two more hours about anything and everything, just like we used to. And honestly, it made me miss him like crazy. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't considering kissing him right now. But he doesn't miss me. We broke up because he didn't love me anymore, and this whole thing was just a nice, friendly gesture. Nothing more. Besides I have a date tonight. It'd be wrong for me to kiss my ex-boyfriend before I go on a date with someone else. I check the time, it's already 7:45?! "I'm sorry Grayson but I have to go. I have a thing that starts in less then an hour." I say frantically packing all my stuff up. "Oh. O-Ok." Grayson and I stand up from the booth at the same time. "It was really nice seeing you." He says looking right into my eyes like he had something else to say but just couldn't get the words out of his mouth. "Well my new apartment is just a floor up from the old one so if you ever want to drop by...." why did you say that? Of course he doesn't want to drop by he's your ex boyfriend. I mentally face palm myself. "Yea. I'll see you around Y/N." we both just stand there. It was a hard situation, we were too much like strangers to hug, but had too much of a past to shake hands. I decide on a simple nod before walking towards the door. Expecting never to see Grayson again.
Grayson's P.O.V

Gosh she's so beautiful. More beautiful then I remember and that's saying a lot. I watch her walk out of the shop and get into her car, the same car she's had since I met her. I walk out of the shop myself, driving home to the music of her voice in my head. How was I so stupid to let her go? Madison and I's break up wasn't mutual. I broke up with her because I realized I was still in love with Y/N. I spent nights fighting myself saying I didn't love her anymore and that I was supposed to be with Maddie. But in the end, her beautiful self in the back of my mind won the battle. So I broke up with Maddie hoping to find Y/N again. But she changed her number , and moved out of our once shared apartment making it impossible to get back in contact with her. And now that she fell back into my fingers, I'm not letting her slip out again.
I walk up to the apartment door that I know is hers. Oh my gosh what do I say to her. She probably still hates me. But even if I have to come to this door everyday I'm going to get her back. I knock on the door with one hand, a bouquet of flowers in the other. Boy am I nervous. A few seconds later the door opens to reveal my beautiful ex-girlfriend. Wearing a pair of jeans and a cream colored jumper. Her favorite jumper if I remember correctly. "Grayson? What are you doing here." I just stare at her for a second like she's a movie star. She could be. "You uh said I could drop by if I wanted." I say scratching the back of my neck. She opens the door wider inviting me in. "Well I didn't know you'd stop by so soon." She puts an earring in and giggles. Man, could I get used to the sound again. "Um look Y/N, I--the reason I'm here is because--"
She looks at me concerned. I would to if someone was stuttering out every word they say. I look up at her, clutching the flowers I've been hiding in my hand. "I'm still in love with you. So so in love with you and I can't stand the thought of not being with you another day." She looks down obviously thinking about what to say. I step closer to her taking her face in my hand. "I am so so sorry I hurt you. It's the worst thing I've ever done. And I promise I will never, ever do anything to hurt you ever again. Please." I look into her eyes pleadingly, she looks back at me shocked. She suddenly moves away from my hand. "Grayson. I'm seeing someone." She moves away from me. A pang of hurt and jealousy hit me and my knees begin to shake. "Oh yea of course you are. Um ok well...okay these are for you so." I hand her the flowers and begin walking towards the door. "Grayson wait." "I'll see you around Y/N." I open the door only to be greeted by a man around my age, slightly smaller. "Sorry" I mumble and slip past him and out of the door. I run out of the building tears running down my face. Of course she's with someone else. Why am I so stupid. I punch the brick wall on the side of the building and slide down on my back. Not caring how dirty the ground was. I lost my everything because of a selfish mistake. And now, I can never get her back.
