"you did what?" i demanded of zach, as he told me something i didn't believe at rehearsals.

"i met up with elaina today at the café." he shrugged, putting his hands in his pockets.

"why?" i questioned.

"because she's one of my friends and i haven't talked to her in three years because you're an ass and won't let me, so i did it while you were sleeping." he replied, shaking his head.

"you're a dick." i grumbled.

"oh, so i'm being a dick for talking to one of my friends?" 

"you're being a dick for talking to my ex-girlfriend behind my back." i shot back.

"chill, i'm sorry you can't get over her. it's not my fault you slept with another girl." zach snapped.

"you know what, i was young and dumb. i felt the need to be loved at all times and i was stupid. i am twenty-three and i have matured. i would never do that again."  i told him, crossing my arms.

"but you still did it. you still cheated on your girlfriend, and you know what? she still lo-" he cut himself off before he could say anything.

"she still what?" i snapped.

"i can't tell you that." he said.

"you know what? fuck rehearsals. i can skip one session. i need to go take a fucking walk." i grumbled, going out the door of the studio.

i walked down the streets of los angeles, kicking a small stone. i didn't really know why, but i felt the urge to look across the street, so i did.

sure enough, there she was.

sitting there in front of an apartment building, her face stained with tears, but it was still her.

she looked at me too, and another tear fell from her eye.

all the emotions from when we were together came flooding back to me, and i had the sudden urge to cry, just like i did if i saw her crying four years ago.

i noticed something in particular about two things she was wearing. one of them was a hoodie she stole me from me four years ago, and the other was the necklace i gave her. she still owns them and wears them. i had no idea she even still acknowledged me.

i've been standing here for almost five minutes, and we are both still staring at each other, not know if the other is real, but they are.

she wiped her nose, got up, and went inside the apartment building she was sitting in front of. did i really just see her for the first time in many years? the girl that i have been crying over almost every night since that day. the girl i've never stopped loving.

her.

i saw him.

daniel james seavey.

the man my heart belonged to, the man my heart still belongs to.

he's changed so much.

he's grown out his hair and he has a little bit of stubble on his chin.

he was again wearing all black, no hint of color whatsoever in his clothing.

but the biggest difference from when i saw him last to now, when he looked at me, his eyes weren't that dull gray-blue that i saw many years ago. they were his beautiful ocean blue eyes that i get lost in every time i looked at them.

i could tell he noticed the hoodie and the necklace, because for a solid minute, he was staring directly at them, looking somewhat confused on why i still have them.

i still have them because i love you daniel. i love you and i have never stopped.

i decided to text zach and tell him i saw daniel.

--

me💞: i saw daniel on the street today.

zach: is this fate, or what? we were literally talking about you when he left.

me💞: why were you talking about me?

zach: i was guilting him about what he did to you, but he did have a pretty good argument.

me💞: which was?

zach: that he was young and dumb and that he just needed to feel loved 24/7, so he slept with another girl. he explained how he's more mature now and would never, ever do what he did to you to another woman. he said it was the worst decision of his life.

me💞: it better be.

zach: shit. david got mad at me for being on my phone, plus daniel just walked back in. i'll text you later.

me💞: bye, zach.

is this fate?
