Two Broken Hearts

(Lillian's P.O.V.)

I'm staring a the promise ring Ryan gave his Lillian. It's beautiful. He must've truly loved her. 

I look up from the ring and ask "You l-loved h-her?" He looks at the ground ashamed. He says "Want the full, honest story, or the current?" My eyes light up as I say "The full, honest story." He says "You may want to wipe that look off your face, it's not a happy story." 

A frown takes over my features and I hear his voice say "We were friends our whole life, eventually best friends lead to more than just friends and we were fortunate enough to get to that. I dated her for at least 5 years and I, being young and new at me and her, decided I'd break up with her. I denied her true love to me and ended up breaking her. I lost her for a long time and ended up watching her make herself better without me. I one day got a call from Adam Blake, out of the blue, asking me if I'd like to be one of his clients on an artist deal. He said he heard my 2 previous albums and my voice sounded like money." 

I smile and say "You must've said yes since you got together with your Lillian." He nods and says "I did, of course, I had to kill myself for weeks before I got her back." 

I say "The people we wait for end up being the ones we love."
