Lippa One Shots

Words Pt. 2

Lin's POV

Pippa, I finally learned her name, and I had been writing back and forth for days, eventually swapping numbers so we didn't write on each other anymore. I really wanted to meet her in person, but she swore up and down she was really busy.

"How come you're so busy now?" I frowned. She was sitting in her room on the video call. She was beautiful, but I couldn't get passed the fact that she wanted to hold out on meeting. We had been away for so long now why did we have to wait longer?

"I'm still in college. It's really hard to balance everything as is. I'm in the middle of an internship, and trying to find a hospital for my other internship, and still balancing my classes Lin... I'm sorry I can't jump on a train and see you. I just want to get my degree, then we can spend all of our time together.. If you have the time of course." She sighed. "I'm sorry... I just... I'll shut up... How are previews?" She asked.

"Great. We're going to Broadway late summer early fall... I would really appreciate it if you could come.... If you could..." I mumbled the last part, knowing she would be fully submersed into her second year of school.

"When?" She asked me.

"August sixth.." I answered.

"My term won't start until September. I can go." She smiled. "I think... I might be able to go for a week... If you want..." She said quietly. I felt my heart skip a beat, she was going to be here for the opening.... It was going to be amazing...

~~~

I paced back and forth in the train station, waiting for her to arrive. It was different when it was a video chat and a phone call. Never in person... We had been talking for months, trying to figure everything out, but I was going to see her... Be able to hold out my hand and feel her next to me... I heard the announcement for her train was arriving and my heart was going to jump out of my chest at this rate.

The train came to a skidding halt, breaks screeching, causing my ears to ring, but it was all worth it. I waited for her to come out, which felt like an eternity, but I knew she was on there... She promised. That and her pictures of her looking like an emoji all throughout the whole trip. I looked around and saw her walking down the steps of the train... Her face was perfect... The way her eyes were looking around the stop...

"Pippa!" I threw my hand up and her head snapped in my direction. Her smile appeared on her face and she jumped down to the platform.

"It's really you." She laughed when we got closer to each other. Her hand reached out to touch my face and she smiled. "So... This is really real..." She laughed nervously.

"It is.. All my life I thought I would never find you." I whispered. Her hand was still on my face, resting on my left cheek. How did I ever manage through life without this feeling?

"I thought I would never find you too." She smiled.

"We should head back to my apartment. It's a bit crowded here." I laughed while looking around. She nodded in agreement, then looked down at her feet. I took her bag from her and dragged it behind us while we walked hand in hand out of the little platform area.

Pippa's POV

His apartment was small, but cute. It was a bit of a mess but I didn't mind.

"Sorry about the mess, I didn't quite have time to fix it up..." He laughed nervously.

"It's okay." I smiled. Our hands were still together, but I couldn't stop staring into his eyes... his beautiful, brown eyes...

"So... um... How was school?" He asked.

"Um.. boring... I just want to be done with it by now... I'm hoping to finish soon.." I shrugged. He nodded, probably not understanding the amount of work I had been throwing at myself just to find something stable in life. I felt a little awkward just standing so I started to wander through his living room. Looking at the different books on his coffee table and looking at the pictures on the walls.

"Um, do you want anything to drink?" He asked.

"No thanks." I smiled. He nodded and dragged my bag into the bedroom. I felt weird having no tingling sensation on my arm from his words, recently it was lyrics from his show. I guess a lot of people were being touched by his show lately. Lin walked back out, stumbling into a little table he had, then laughing about it.

"Sometimes I forget where my furniture is." He laughed.

"That's okay." I laughed with him. I walked over to him and took his hands in mine. "You know... I've always wondered who you were. And what you did. What you looked like." I smiled.

"As did I." He smirked.

"Why didn't you write anything on your arms or anywhere else before?" I frowned.

"I guess I was kind of afraid..." he frowned. "What about things I said? Didn't they show up?" He asked.

"About ninety-nine percent of the quotes that did show up, they weren't English..." I smirked. "Then they stopped while I was in college... So I kinda just... stopped looking..." I sighed.

"Oh.." he frowned.

"Did anything I say show up?" I asked.

"No. Not until recent. Just a few quotes..." he smiled.

"Like?" I asked.

"I can't remember them all. Just the most recent one... Where you got to tell someone their kid was going to live." He smiled.

I had been shadowing a few doctors at a hospital and was able to work with infants for a while. A little girl was struggling with being a really, really premature baby and I felt terrible... So I did above and beyond work to make sure that little girl lived. Telling her parents that she was going to be okay was probably the most meaningful thing to ever come out of my mouth.

"I cried that day... A lot.." I mumbled. His hands reached up to my cheeks and he made me look at him.

"I know. I can see you're about to again." He said quietly. I felt tears coming into my eyes, just thinking of that memory was enough to make me tear up and start sobbing. One wrong move and she would've been gone.

"I'm sorry." I said while wiping my eyes.

"Don't be." He whispered. I felt myself leaning forward and felt my lips touch his. I could feel my heart beating at a mile a minute and wondered if his was too. It probably was. My mind was blank, enjoying everything that was going on. When we parted, his forehead rested on mine.

"I really think that we are meant to be." I whispered.

"Me too." He laughed. I felt a tingling sensation on my right forearm and looked down. Lin did the same, and both of us saw the same exact mark on our arms... A little heart that had a music note stem on it. "I guess we are really soulmates." He smiled. "But why both of us a music note? Aren't you going to be a doctor?"

"Yeah... I lived in New York for a while trying to land a part in something musical wise... But I got nowhere so now I'm going to be a doctor. But I'm glad I can have this part of me back in my life." I said while placing a hand on his cheek. His hand covered mine and he moved it to kiss it.

I couldn't wait to spend the rest of eternity with him.
