Days turned into weeks and weeks turned into months. I hadn't seen Joey at all since he found me in the corridor about 6 months ago

Sure, I'd seen Jay and Rosie but they didn't really notice me. I'd purposefully walked through the corridors Joey walks through to try and see him but I'd had no luck

I know I'm supposed to stay away from him, but I can't. Something's telling me I need to see him but there's no way that I can

I regret leaving him behind but I know it's for the best. All I want is to see him but I can't, I know I just can't do it

°°°

Months had passed and I still haven't seen him. It was as if he'd just disappeared into thin air. He was no where to be seen at all

I'd never see him around campus. I'd never see him walk into his class or pass me on the way. I'd tried convincing myself that I shouldn't care. Don't know why, it never worked

I cared more than I should and it was breaking me apart

°°°

I was tempted to go to my old dorm, to just give into my desire but I didn't want to ruin his life. I was dying to see him and make sure he's okay but he's not mine anymore

He's probably got another girl by now. I mean, it's almost been a year since he bumped into me in the corridor

I thought by now I would've seen him. I thought I would bumped into him the day after he saw me but it never happened, to my disappointment

But now, I'd fully convinced myself that I don't care. We're not in a relationship anymore. We're not part of a friendship anymore

We don't know each other anymore

°°°

As I neared the end of college, I still hadn't seen him. He really had disappeared, almost as if he was part of a magic trick

Graduation's in 2 days. As I expected, I'm going alone. I don't mind so much, it's probably better I go alone anyway

I came to college to learn, not to worry about a boy who probably doesn't care about me. I mean hell, I'm nearly 20 and I'm ready to leave and get a job

But why am I still thinking about him?

°°°

I finished my make up and hair, fixing my graduation cap so that I'd at least look nice for pictures. I left my dorm, making sure I looked okay in my mirror before I locked the door

I made my way to where they were holding the ceremony and sat in my assigned seat. I was almost late so most of the seats were already filled

"Tonight we are gathered to celebrate students on their graduation" the head master spoke

The room went quiet as he began to read out the names. I waited until he got onto the 'B's'

"Joseph Birlem"

I thought my heart would leap out of my chest. I thought I'd have butterflies seeing him after all these months

But it didn't. It thumped at a steady rate which didn't falter when I saw him walk up to the stage. He looked normal, not like that time when I saw him in the corridor

Brushing it off, I waited for my turn. Due to my second name beginning with a 'W' I had to wait quite a while

"Reign Wilson" I heard

I walked up to the stage, took my certificate and shook hands, joining everyone at the back of the stage. At this moment, I was happy and finally proud of completing college

There were times where I thought I'd never make it through college by myself but here I am, proving my younger self wrong

Once the names were read out, we all went outside to throw our caps and take pictures. Everyone gathered together and we threw our caps into the air. Stereotypical, I know

I caught my cap and dispersed from the crowd. I was about to leave when my name was called. Turning around, I saw my brother and sister, smiling and waving at me

I ran over and gave them a hug almost crying due to not seeing them for so long

"I missed you so much" my sister smiled as I pulled away

"I've missed you too. Both of you" I replied, overwhelmed with happiness

We all took photos together and I took some with a couple class mates that I was close with throughout my second year

That's when I noticed it. There he was with his brother. Both smiling for a picture with a girl hanging from an arm. I couldn't help but watch as he looked at her with glistening eyes

I was about to tear my gaze away when my breath hitched in my throat. He kissed her, passionately, and clung onto her like he used to with me

Jealousy washed over me and I turned away before it all became too much. I guess he really had listened to my words

He got another girl who was better than me. Prettier with probably a perfect life ahead of her. A girl that wouldn't ruin his life even if she tried

I couldn't get over that I'd been replaced

I never wanted to see him again
