Someone Better

Alex's pov

It has been four months since that day. The day I got my heart broken. Colton and I broke up about two months ago. We tried to make our relationship work but I just could trust him. If you love someone you wouldn't continue lying to them. I love Colton and I would have done anything for him but love isn't enough to keep people together. I am okay I guess. I have to be in some sense. I hope he is don't okay because I haven't spoken to him in a long time. He was a best friend and he knew me for who I am and he accepted that. If he called me at 4am I would answer. I would still be there for him if he needed me.

Layla Dean and I have become a lot closer. We hangout everyday after school. I needed a friend and she was there for me. She was there for me when no one else was. She wants to set me up with her boyfriends bother but I'm not really sure because I just need time by myself before I need to be with anyone. After everything that has happened I just don't want to be with anyone right now. I just couldn't deal with someone hurting me again.

Today I'm going to see John, which probably isn't the best decision but I need to see him. I miss him so much. He has been in the hospital for about a month and today he just got to go home. I got a call from his mother asking me to come over because he needs me apparently, she asked why I am never over anymore and I just assume John never told her we broke up. Which in some sense is a little weird but I'm guessing he couldn't admit it to himself we are over. In all honesty I didn't really want to admit it to myself either that we were over.

John and I were friends since my freshman year of high school and now I'm a junior and he is a senior so I mean we are all we have ever known. When I was with Colton I didn't feel the same as I did with John. John could almost break up with me and I would still fight for us but with Colton he did the same thing once and I just left.

I take my time getting to John's house just because this situation makes me anxious because I feel like I'm the one that did this to him, but he is the one who broke up with me.

I feel a lot of different emotions right now coming back to the house I've been to so many time in the past. I've haven't been here in over a year. I knock on the door and his mother answers. She is so pretty with light brown eyes and dark brown hair, she is very slim but taller than me. John doesn't really look like her he looks more like his father.

"Oh hi Alex. How have you been?" She greets me with a hug.

"I've been alright. How how've you been?"

"I've been better. I know John really misses you. Why haven't you been coming around? John hasn't talked about you as much  as he used to. Is everything okay with you two?"

I honestly don't know what I should tell her because honestly I don't think it is my place to tell her that me and her son broke up over a year ago.

"I know I miss him too. I have just busy and I've had some issues that I needed to take care of." I try to avoid the questions as much as possible but I kind of feel bad because she has always been so nice to me.

"Okay well John is in his room. Do you remember where it is?"

"Yeah I remember. Thank you." I say smiling.

I walk in the house and up the stairs to John's room. The house hasn't changed at all. Same light blue walls with a lot of family pictures. I notice out of the corner of my eye a picture of John and I at prom. I start tearing up because I remember how happy I was that day.

I knock on his door and hear a faint come in. So I do. His room is exactly the way it was when we were together. The same pictures of us on his night stand, the same blanket I kept leaving here on his bed, and the same everything. I look at him and my heart hurts a little to see him like this. I have always saw him as someone who is so strong and now to see him like this breaks my heart.

"Hey." I say awkwardly.

"Hey." He says back.

"Your mom invited me over, I know I should have told you. I'm sorry." I say looking down.

"Yeah she told me. She thinks we are still together, I just haven't had the heart to tell her we aren't. Don't be sorry I'm happy you are here. I've missed you."

"I've missed you too. Are you feeling better?" I ask.

"Yeah now I get to see you." He said smiling.

"I'm really sorry for everything that has happened. I've missed you so much. I would also really like to be friends if that us okay with you." I don't really know what I am saying but I'm hoping he gets it.

"I don't think I could ever just be friends though."

"Why?" I question.

"Because I am so in love with you. I don't think I could ever just be friends with you because I know I've missed up a lot in the past trust me I know. I was so stupid. I lied to myself because I thought you deserved someone so much better than me, which I still think but you didn't deserve to be with Colton because all he ever did was lie to you." John says while looking at me straight in the eyes.

"You are still in love with me?"

"Yeah. I've never stopped loving you. I know you probably don't feel the same but I love you." I am kind of speechless. John makes his way off his bed and he is right in front of me.

"I am just scared." I say as he leans closer to me. If I even move my lips they might touch his. Him being this close to me is making me a little uncomfortable but I stay where I am.

"I know you are. I am too." He whispered.

Then his next move kind of surprised me as he pressed his lips to mine. I wasn't expecting it at all but I also didn't stop it.
