I'll always come back to you, the sequel

3

"Elena... ELENA!!!" i heard someone yell while pushing me around as my eyes fluttered open to see david standing above me.

"w-whats going on??" i asked incredibly confused as david held something up slightly, "i came to pick this up.. you didnt answer the door so i just came in and you didnt wake up so i just was making sure you were okay." he said sitting down next to me on the couch.

it was a dream.

"oh.." i spoke slightly disappointed.

"dreaming about me again?" he said wiggling his eye brows as my eyes widened, "im kidding im kidding." he said laughing at him self as i chuckled softly to myself. oh only if you knew.

"whats that?" he asked pointing to my laptop sitting up open.

"oh um-" before i could finish his eyes lit up, "youre writing again??" he asked looking into my eyes as i nodded yes. i had given up writing for a long time, my inspiration had slowly came back to me over time. i looked at it in a way as, i was healing. i was becoming me again.

"well i am excited to read it when its finished." he said giving me a big grin, which was my all time favorite smile in the world.

"well.." he spoke patting my leg as he stood up, " i should get back home to nat.." he spoke as a rush of sadness flooded over my face and i know david noticed.

"or i could um.. stay until the boys get back so youre not alone?" he suggested. as much as i wanted him next to me, i knew i couldnt do this to myself.

"oh no, no.. its okay! heath should be home soon anyways so, and natalie is probably waiting for you" i said looking up into his warm dark brown eyes.

"you sure?" he asked grabbing his stuff as i flashed him a reassuring smile and nodded.

"okay, ill see you soon elena." he smiled and left the house.

"i love you.." i whispered to myself as the door shut. i wish i could go back in time and change everything. if i would have handled things and life better we could still be together and happy. i miss david, i miss being inlove with my best friend. i miss the feeling of coming home ot his goofy smile, it was like we were 18 again and i came home from wherever and his idiot self would be laying in my bed. little did i know at the time, i loved him as i do now.

another knock was at my door as i yelled come in and turned my head towards the door to see alex walk in.

"hi!" i gleamed as he shot me a smile and came and sat down.

"hows my fav elena doing?" he asked giving me a side hug.

"oh just dandy.. why are you here?" i asked , alex never came over here.

"i um.. heard through a bird you knew something you werent supposed to know yet.." he said giving me a sad look, so i played dumb.

"i dont know..what you mean?" i gave him a questionable look.

"well lets just say i know something and accidentally slipped to heath about it who "accidentally" slipped that you knew the same thing i knew about..like david proposing to natalie." he said as my face scrunched up at the words of david and natalie.

"thats..what i thought.." he sighed, "im really sorry elena.. i know you were hoping itd be you and him in the end, but why didnt you tell him when he was then and there telling you he loved you and stuff, why didnt you fight for him?" he asked rubbing my back softly as i laid my head on his shoulder and i shrugged.

"i dont know alex.. maybe because he loves her now and hes happy with her and how unfair would that be of me to tell him i want him back...just for us to blow up in flames again..we were better as friends we always have. we both knew this.." i said looking up in his eyes as they were filled with remorse towards me. as much as i hated this look, i knew i would be getting it from everyone. who wouldnt give it to someone who was just told that the person they love is getting engaged to another.

"elena..." he started to speak, "i wish i had the right words but ive never been in your spot, but i do know that it hurts and you will not be able to hide your feelings and hurt from him or any of us when he finally does it.." he said and i nodded.

Alex was right, i wouldnt be able to hide the hurt over something like that forever.

"can we change the subject? how are you and emily?" i asked as he looked down at the ground.

"uhm..we broke up.." he said as i looked at him in shock.

"what do you mean???" i yelled/asked causing him to laugh a little, "she just needs time to think of what she really wants in life..but as i was saying, the hurt, i get it.." he said as i hugged him to the side.

"im sorry al.." i said as he hugged me back.

"its okay but, i am going to do whatever i can to get her back, as should you with david." he said winking at him and i rolled my eyes.

"why does everyone not want it to work with nat??" i asked as he looked at me with guilt.

"spill ernst, whats going on?" i asked as he sighed.

"David..got with natalie out of anger and wanted to make you jealous in hope you'd come back to him..then all of a sudden weeks and months go by and you never came back to him..then he was too far in, real feelings developed, the publicity was great, it just seemed to work out.. but i can not stress this to you enough elena, he will always be inlove with you.." he spoke as his words made me sad and angry with myself for never going back to him, but also angry with him he'd do this to natalie.

breaking me out of my thoughts was a text from david in a massive group chat which involved all of us.

David Dobrik : Hey guys! Could you all please come over within the next 20 minutes!? i have something id love to do and i want all of you here for it.

questions flooded from everyone but i noticed one thing, natalie wasnt in the group chat.

it was time. david is going to propose to natalie and there was nothing i could do about it.

"come on.. you can ride with me" alex spoke as we walked to his car.

i didnt speak i swear i didnt blink or anything. it happened so quickly the drive there, us walking in, the moment leading up to where we are now.

i was standing between alex and heath as i gripped my hand so tight to heaths arm my knuckles turned white. we all stood in a circle that was filled with candles and roses as david was speaking to a speechless natalie.

"....you are by far the greatest thing thats ever happened to me. i couldnt imagine this life with anyone else besides you. thank you for loving me and dealing with me.." david said as everyone chuckled besides me, "natalie i love you, i am inlove with you, will you marry me?" he asked as he knelt down on one knee as my eyes fluttered shut as a tear slipped out of my eyes. everyone cheered and i heard her say yes as i let go of heath and looked up at alex

"im gonna go home..." i whispered as i walked out the door and started walking back to the house before anyone could stop me.

the look of happiness on davids face was something i always dreamed of seeing towards me.

but thats just not how it ended up, instead im in a nightmare.
