Our Happy Ending ¬ 8BitRyan x Reader

Chapter 14

QUIT A FEW YEARS LATER

We were walking hand in hand (as we did wherever we went together) down to the very coffee shop where it had all started. Ryan was taking me on a date. He had told me that he wanted to make it extra special. To put on something nice but not fancy. I was nervous even if I had known him so long that I couldn't really embarrass myself in front of him.

The weather was a bit breezy but it was also very sunny, so I was fine wearing my plain black dress... the same one I had worn on our first year anniversary date. 

"I can see the sign!" He remarked pointing at the light up sign. They had changed it since I had worked there

I laughed at his statement. He sounded so excited yet nervous at the same time.

We got to the glass door and Ryan opened it for me, Ryan being Ryan again. That spork.

"After you!" 

"Shut up you dork! " i said yet again laughing

He laughed too. I entered the shop with Ryan following. The shop was just as it was when I had first met Ryan. Still that same cozy feel. We walked up to the counter both knowing exactly what we wanted.

"2 hot chocolates please." Ryan spoke to the new woman at the counter. I didn't know her then again it had been a long time since I had left.

" they'll be ready in 5 minutes. Please take a seat. " She answered kindly

Ryan and I slowly walked to a bench seat in the corner of the room. We sat opposite each other. I placed my hands on the table and Ryan held them entwining his fingers with mine. Waiting our drinks to come, we just sat and stared into our eyes. I swear, everyday I spent with him, I fell more and more in love with him. I didn't think that would be possible but it was. This love will be the death of me but I know I'll die happy. I was prepared to spend the rest of my life with him and as many times as I had thought it before, he was the one for me. 

Still staring into the dark brown pools that were his eyes, the waitress came up to us and placed our hot chocolates on the table.

"Here you go!" She said smiling, she seemed very cheerful. Maybe she too was in love with somebody else. It was weird how everybody had their own lives, different paths. Out of seven million other paths, it was mine and Ryan's that had crossed... if that made sense. It was fascinating thing to think about.

"Thank you!" me and Ryan replied at the same time. We turned to each other again once she walked away, we both laughed, for no reason but for the fact that we were happy. Happy being together. 

We took our time drinking our drinks because there was simply no reason to rush. Why rush when you had all the time in the world? I was more a person who like to cherish moments like these and make the most of them.

From someone who was depressed around two to three years ago, someone who was questioning there life, wondering if they should just end it all. I am glad I didn't, glad I held on, glad I stayed because now I was happy, in love. No pain, no gain I guess. 

Ryan was still staring at me with his love eyes. My hand laying flat against the table with his hand placed on top of of mine. There was just silence, no need to talk. What was there to talk about? We were together everyday, we knew everything about each other, we knew what we'd been up to everyday. The only thing we would have to talk about was gossip from our friends, which I had already told him. It didn't matter that we had nothing to talk about though as being next to one another was enough for us. 

Once we had finished our beverages, leaving the very bottom bit as nobody ever drank the powdered coco powder that was at the bottom, that was just a huge no, we placed the mugs on the table. I referred my gaze back to Ryan to find him yet again. We didn't leave the small quaint shop straight after our drink, we stayed sat in our place for approximately ten minutes, taking in our surroundings. After the ten minutes had passed, Ryan sighed.

"You want to get to our next destination?" He spoke softly

"Yeah." I replied back in the same tone

We both slowly got up, walking over to the counter to pay. Ryan had insisted on paying, no matter how much I told him that he had done enough for me already. He paid the lady the three pounds for the drinks. Exiting the shop closing the perfectly clear glass door behind us in destination of the park. I was excited, I felt butterflies in my stomach. I couldn't express my feelings for him. You know that feeling, sudden outburst where you just can't express your love for someone, that's how I felt. 

Love felt like it was taking over me, I had never felt so loved in my life. 

My child hood had been hard; feeling like I was never good enough. Friends had turned on me, back-stabbed me, left me when I had needed the most. I couldn't understand why they had done so at the time, after having helped them through their struggles. My grandparents always comparing me to my cousins, saying that I was a failure, that I could never get a job, that I would never be loved. They had even made fun of me. It hurt, I pretended that I din't care, I pretended that I thought I was amazing, did I think that... no. I had never fitted in, wherever I went. These were the reasons I was depressed on top of the fact I was bullied, not verbally but physically. Ryan was the one who came and saved me from this. Lucy had helped a head of a lot too; She was always there for me, through good and bad times. I WAS depressed, I wasn't anymore, I was sure of it. 

I shook my head and looked up at Ryan, he looked happy, I was happy that I made him happy. 

I am very sorry for the song. I just couldn't help it. I wish they had it on spotify though. I'm just going to put it out there that that song is my anthem, i want it played at my funeral, wedding, birthday.... ON EVERY OCCASION. They should even play it at the Olympics. Don't forget to vote!
