Laine Hardy imagines and preferences

Someone I used to know.

"But you treat me like a stranger and that feels so rough
No, you didn't have to stoop so low."

Me and Laine broke up after 5 years of dating. I would be lying if I said it didn't hurt. 

I see him walk around our small town with his friends, he looks happy. How did he do it so fast? 

before me and Laine even dated, he was my best friend. I have never lived a life without him in it. 

I walked into the small café I loved so much, I come here everyday. The familiar smell of fresh coffee being brewed and the perfect amount of noise, its never loud but not quiet either. 

My best friend Taylor works here so I always come to distract her from hurting the rude people. 

"hey girl!" Taylor said. I smiled slightly. "Hi' 

"You want your usual?" I nodded and handed her the money. The bell on the door rang telling us there was people coming in. I looked up and seen Laine and Micah and some other guys from the track time. 

"Great." I said under my breath. Taylor looked at me with sympathy. I shook my head. 

"here's your drink" Taylor said sliding it to me. "Thanks." 

"Hey y/n!" Micah smiled at me. He has always been a good friend. 

"Hi Micah, how are you?" I smiled at him. 

"Pretty good, how have you been?" I put my head down

"Uh alright I guess." I shrugged. I felt Laine staring at us. He has been treating me as if I'm a stranger. 

"I uh, have to go but um I will see you around" I said quickly wanting out of there. 

I walked into the busy streets of the small town, my apartment was around the block so I never drive to the café.  

"WAIT!" I heard someone yell. not just anyone. Laine. 

I kept walking not wanting to talk to him. 

"Y/n!" He caught up to me quickly. he stopped me. 

"What?" I asked a little harsh. he sighed 

"I just wanted to see how you have been" He shrugged

"You don't get ask me that, You have treated me as if you don't even know me. Why the hell do you care?"  

"I know I'm sorry, I just wanted to-" I shook my head.

"no you aren't. You are just someone that I used to know"  He looked hurt.

"You know me" I shook my head again 

"Not anymore, you aren't the same Laine I fell for, you aren't the same friend I knew everything about. you aren't the Laine I grew to know. So yeah you are someone that I used to know." 

He was hurt, but I couldn't keep letting him get to me. 

"I'll see you around Laine" I said walking away leaving him standing there hurt by my words.
