No One Compares - Reece

REECE POV

It just didn't feel right.

I'm lying on my bed with my hands behind my head, staring at the ceiling.

I'm thinking about everything that's happened.

I thought maybe she'd be the one. That maybe I'd finally found someone I could love again.

She was a nice girl. We got along well.

I met her at a party I went to, and got her number and all. I asked her out a few days later.

We went to a nice restaurant and I spent time getting to know her. She was my type.

"Oh, no way!" I said. She told me she plays a few instruments too. "Which ones?"

"I play cello and violin," she smiled. "Oh . . . and piano."

"That's amazing! How long have you been playing?"

She stopped to think, trying to remember, I guess.

"I think since I was six," she said with a shrug and a smile. "I was pretty young, so the memories are a little bit foggy."

"And how old are you now?" I asked. "If you don't mind me asking, I mean. Sorry."

She laughed. "No, you're fine. I'm twenty. You?"

"Same. But who's older? When is your birthday?"

"Mine is June seventh. When is yours?" she asked.

"August thirteenth," I answered with a grin. "So you're older than I am."

"Hmm." she said. "When your birthday lands on a Friday do you ever have bad luck?" she joked.

"Yeah." I said, bringing a surprised look to her face. "Something bad happens every time. Even when my birthday isn't on a Friday."

She let out a slight gasp. "Like what?" she asked in a hushed tone.

"I get older."

She rolled her eyes and gave me a small punch.

"Hey!"

"Serves you right. I thought you meant something serious! Like breaking a bone or something." she huffed.

"Sorry," I muttered as I rubbed the spot she'd hit.

The topic continued to change as the night moved on. We talked about surface things, like what films we both like, what music we grew up listening to, and we argued about reading (because for some reason she doesn't like it), till we ended up talking about relationships, and the future.

"I'm not the type of girl who wants a short fling or anything like that," she said. "I only care about meaningful relationships. Life's too short to waste time on things and people who don't matter, you know?"

"Yeah."

I definitely know.

"How about you?" she asked. "Are you the ‘take it serious’ type or the ‘have fun’ type?"

I looked up at her. "I . . . listen. I'm the serious type. Which is why I know I can't start something with you. You're a great girl and I like you, but . . ." I sighed. "I'm not over my last relationship and I don't want to hurt you."

She looked down at the table. "Oh." she said. "I understand. It feels like you'll never find another one like her, doesn't it?" she said softly.

I nodded and looked down, a lump in my throat.

"I'm sorry." I whispered.

She reached over and gave my hand a quick squeeze. "It's okay. You'll figure it all out."

I roll over in my bed and glance at the clock.

It's past midnight. But I can't sleep. I can never sleep well anymore.

I get up and sit next to the bed with my back against the side.

All of my thoughts are filled with her. I loved her.

I bury my head in my hands.

"No one compares to you, y/n." I whisper.

I've tried to move on. I've tried to forget. I've tried to heal.

None of it works.

But every time I think maybe she's the right one, I just wish it was y/n.

There are some things you just can't change. When you love someone and it doesn't work out, you'll never be the same.

It changes you.

You can't just unlove someone. You can't reverse the pull you feel towards them. You can't just move on and find happiness with someone new.

No one can compare.
