Request from anon;

Hi, hola, hello. Love your blog❤️ I was wondering if you could do a part 2 to the happier story you did? I don't really know what to call it, story, imagine, so on so forth. But anyway, I'd really like a part two. I'm assuming you might want to make it a happy ending? Can it be like everybody's comforting the reader, even Murphy. Everyone pushed 10k and Red away. The reader feels bad and she tells them not to. She tries To talk to 10k so she apologize about it. Red is being a bitch about it, etc

Continuation of Happier

Seventy days

For seventy days you forced yourself to suffer. Punishing yourself in a way by watching him fall in love with her, watching him really fall in love.

For seventy days you fixated on their relationship. Envying the way he touched her, the way he smiled, the way they existed in perfect harmony with each other.

For seventy days you compared yourself to her. Where she was harsh you were kind, where you were sarcastic she was serious. You were polar opposites.

Twenty-five days

Twenty-five days you've been receiving encouragement.

Warren, she was the first, wise woman as always she reminded you that your worth isn't decided by the way other people treat you.

"Y/N, you're a treasure to this world, don't let anyone make you believe anything different. Just because one person can't see that wonderful doesn't mean that you're not. In all the time that I've known you all you've done is take care of other people to the best of your ability, you've risked your life for people you didn't know. I've only ever known you as someone who would give up everything if it meant saving even a few people. Now for me that says you're an amazing person, but maybe I've gotten soft for you over the year."

"Aha, thanks Warren.

Addison, she was quick to some to your rescue. She reminded you that people will leave, it doesn't mean that they don't love you, sometimes one isn't right for the other.

"Pre-z I dated a few people, most of them were great people, just not great people for me to date. Sometimes they were just meant to be my friends. Now I don't know what fully went down with you and 10k, but i'm willing to bet he misses you as much as you miss him. Like before whatever when down you guys functioned together so fluidly, and I think if anything you two would still make good friends.

"I had a sneaking suspicion you dated people pre-z, so thanks for clearing that one up for me. And thanks for caring about me."

Murphy, the one that shocked everyone. He reminded you that, well you're not sure he reminded you of anything, maybe a father that found his daughter crying prom night.

"Listen kid, nothing lasts forever, relationships especially. Some last a couple hours, others last for years. Your young, and if you were to find love in this crazy fucked up world I don't think it would have been as easy as you finding 10k. Oh no don't get all teary eyed on me, ah. What I mean is love is hard to find, I mean look at me, I'm way older than you and I don't think I've ever felt true love, don't hold on to your first feeling of love like it's your last or you'll spend the rest of your life chasing after it."

"wow smurf, that was surprisingly... not awful."

Doc, the last to speak about the topic. Maybe he was the last because of how close he was to 10k, maybe he had a hard time coming up with the right things to say. Either way he reminded you of your youth, and how you still had people to meet and a future to make.

"You know i love you, you know i love both of you. That doesn't mean I don't notice when you two are being stupid. You're letting him destroy you, you're acting like he was all you ever had or ever will have. Hes stupid for not saying anything to you, for not understanding how much he meant to you. Now listen kiddo I know it hurts now, but you cant let it hurt forever, It'll ruin you for the future, You've only just started living, don't let a little hiccup in the road ruin that."

"Doc, I can always count on you, I love you too."

Ten days

Ten days you watched the group push him and his girl away

They did it for your sake despite your protests. They silently cut them off from the group in small ways, each of them stopped talking to Red, Doc and Addy were the only ones that talked to 10k, even that was just small talk.

You could see the effect it had on 10k, he looked like a hurt puppy. He didn't sit at the campfire with the rest of the group anymore, instead he sat with Red who would hunt while he cooked the meat she'd gathered earlier

He didn't sleep near the group anymore, he'd stay near her, sometimes fast asleep, other times you'd catch him. You'd catch him watching the group, watching you more often than not, he looked sorry. You never got to see the sorrow for long, she'd grab his collar and bring him back to lying beside her. It was never a gentle grab there was always some force behind it, not a question a demand.

Five days

Five days you've been afraid

Red, she was not kind to you. She gave threat in the disguise of a warning.

"Y/N, I remember the time when 10k would lay beside you at night. Not anymore, remember that? Remember how he left you for me, how he crawls into my bed at night and not yours. Remember that he doesn't look to you for comfort or back up anymore. He is not yours, he does not love you, he is mine and mine only. Do not get in my way or my clothes will be a darker shade of red."

Day zero

Day zero she was exiled, left for dead.

Red, she was intimidating. She'd threatened you, she hit him, she'd bruised him. The group didn't take kindly to it, she swore it was a one time thing as she back away from them, his bruised skin showed other wise. She was pathetic, promising she'd never do it again, she wouldn't have a chance.

The group packed into the car, leaving her far behind, she followed for a while but she was only human with human speed and no car.

As for 10k he was silent for a while, maybe he was ashamed or he felt guilty or maybe he just didn't want to talk to you, the only other person in the truck bed.

"I'm sorry"

Neither one of you was sure who said it first but both wondered why the other said it.

"Listen Y/N I shouldn't have left you like that, you we're kind and gentle. You loved me, you reminded me of that everyday and I shouldn't have given that up just because someone new wondered into my life. I love you still and maybe I'm out of line for saying it but I do love you. I was a fool for thinking she could be as good as you in any way."

"I love you too."

You didn't get back together, there were deep wound in your relationship that would take time to heal but friendship could lead to a speedy recovery.
