Timothee's graduation was a lot to take in. We hugged for half of the ceremony party, and he cried during his salutatorian speech.
After graduation and him talking to his family we went to play basketball in the gym. He planned to leave early to save time with moving and so he knew his surroundings better before he started. After we were all sweaty after playing basketball, we went to my house with the other seniors for a party.
Timothee drank with Amelie and Andrew and I tried to sleep for a bit and I heard something hitting my window. I saw my ex boyfriend Dell.
"Y/n!" He said smiling, and showing off his dimples and braces. "Dell?" I said smiling. I looked behind me to see my door was closed. I climbed out of my room and gave him a hug. We broke up because he was going to move but, my feelings never left. "I thought you-" "we moved back here, family was closer and we all have our reasons for coming back." I wanted to kiss him but..
"Dell, uh wanna come inside?" "Yes!" He said perking up. We went inside to find half of the seniors sleeping on the couches and my parents talking to Andrew and Amelie. I saw Timothee watching me and Dell. I started to take Dell to my room and Timothee got up and followed behind. Dell looked back and looked scared. I shut the door. "How's life been?" He asked looking at how much my room changed. "It's been way better than my depressing freshman year." "That's always an improvement." He laughed. He looked through my bookshelf and movies. "I haven't seen Gremlins in forever! Robots? An underrated kids movie." He said to himself. We heard the door knob move and saw a half naked couple looking for a room. "Bathroom is across the hall, don't make a mess or take my stuff." I said laughing. "Chill." He laughed. "You still have braces." I said. "I actually get them off in two months." He said smiling and looking at his hands.We sat on by bed all night and Timothee finally came up during our chat about how mammoths shouldn't come back to life. "What have you been doing?" He said. His voice lower and more irritated than usual. "Talking to Dell." I said. Dell stood up and looked light headed. "I'm Dell. Y/n's ex." He said shaking Timothee's hand. He did a pathetic fake smile. I called it his bitch smile. He watched us for a second and closed the door. "That's my boyfriend." I said. "He scares me." " He does me too, sometimes." "I bet." Dell smiled and made a weird face. "Oh my god." I said laughing.
Everyone went home except Dell and Timothee.
I went to the kitchen and got myself a bowl of fruitloops while the boys got blankets and were picking out a movie. "I want some!" They said as I sat down. "Get it yourself then." I said crunching them. They ran to the cabinet and got some and sat with me on the couch.Timothee kept dropping hints to Dell to leave. Each time he would scoot closer to me. Which was fine...
In the morning I saw Timothee still on the couch awake. I saw Dell in my room on my beanbag, asleep.
I walked into my living room and Timothee didn't take his eyes off the tv screen. "I'll leave you and you boyfriend alone. Don't worry." He said. "This is a petty argument you're trying to make." I said looking at him. "Well, it's true. You used to date him and he left. He comes back and you fall in live with him and ditch me for a dork with braces. "He's cute. Not scary and tall like you." "I'm scary and tall? What am I a spider? Go fuck him for all I care." He said raising his voice. I could see Dell in the corner of my eye. "Go take your petty Bullshit somewhere else! Go away." I said making my mom come down the stairs. "I like you! I'm not leaving." He said. "No." I said as I came towards him. My mom grabbed my arm. "You like the idea of me, you only like the idea of having a girlfriend and taking her places that only matter to you." I said almost yelling. "Maybe I will leave. And by the way that time you almost left me at school on the playground I was fucking Alexa!" He said yelling and slamming the front door. I wasn't mad or sad. I felt like I had less pressure on my shoulders. I went back to my room and Dell was outside my door. I let him back in.
"That was.. intense." He said. "I've been wanting to say that honestly for a while." I said turning on Grey's Anatomy. "I love this show. I'm wanting to be a neurobiologist." He said. I smiled and we looked at each other. "I missed you." He said."I did too." I said.
