He was your first love. He was so special to you. He was your escape. You felt safe around him. There is no other way of expressing your love for him. He was the reason you smiled a little more. You laughed a little more. He made you love yourself.
To let go of something like that was painful. And it was killing you. Because you tried to hate him and you failed. Instead you hated yourself for letting down the walls that you had built around yourself to keep the cruel world away. It was just so hard to accept those emotions. They kept you awake at night.
You were lying on your bed, awake, lost in your thoughts when you suddenly got a call from Sam. You had made up your mind to cut off all ties with the so called 'celebrities' because reality had hit you hard. No matter how strong the bond was, you can suddenly be questioned one day to prove your loyalty. And you were not up for it. Also, if any of his friends still talked to you then it might add fuel to fire. And you had enough drama already. So you avoided his call and went back to your thoughts. He called again. You ignored. Then again. And again.
Message from Sam: Please pick up. It's urgent. I really need you.
A part of you wanted to tell him to deal with his problems on his own but then you remembered all the times when he was a good friend to you and you thought you owed him one, just one last time. You called back.
"Hello. What happened?"
"(Y/N) we have a situation. Fred has been throwing tantrums all day to meet you. I don't know what is it with this kid. He has become so stubborn. Just won't listen to me."
"Put Fred on the phone, I'll talk to him"
"Hello. (Y/N) why won't you meet me? It's been so long. I want to show you the scrap book I made for my friend. I miss you"
"Aww my Freddy! I miss you too. I've been keeping busy lately. But I'll meet you soon, okay?"
"Nooooo. I want to meet you now. I want to hug you tightly"
"It's not possible to meet you right now. But I'll hug you soon baby"
Fred started crying. You were trying to calm him down but it wasn't working. Sam took over the phone.
"(Y/N) can you come over, please? He misses you a lot. And anyway it's been almost five months since we met. Will catch up with you as well"
Had it not been a phone call, you would've made some logical excuse to get out of this but it was too late to say anything.
"I'm sending my car. Come soon"
"Okay" , you let out a sigh. You were so mad at yourself for picking up the call.
After a while, a car showed up at your place and you got in. After a long time, you had actually gotten out of the bed, showered and put on something which didn't count as lounge wear. You looked like a human being after ages. You planned on telling Sam that it will be the last time you're meeting and would like to stay away from the 'fame world'. You were trying to come up with better ways to make that conversation polite.
You reached Sam's place. A wave of nostalgia hit you suddenly and you remembered how you used to hang out with Sam and Justin there and all the fun times you had. You tried to keep a straight face and walked in.
"Heyyy! How have you been?", Sam asked as he hugged you.
"Good. You?", you faked a smile. Sam sensed it and suddenly his expression changed. Before he could say anything, you shifted his attention and said, "Where's Freddy?"
"He's in his room. Still sulking because his favourite human won't meet him"
"Haha. I'll take care of that"
You went to his room and saw him scribbling furiously on his colouring book.
"OMG! Poor book! What has it ever done to deserve such punishment?"
Fred turned to you and suddenly his eyes sparkled. He got up and ran towards you and in an instant, he was in your arms. Kids are so innocent. They'll be upset all day but when they see you, their hearts will melt the next moment. You thought to yourself, "The only time I ever get such warm hugs just for showing up"
"I missed you sooo much
(Y/N).""I missed you too.", you said as you kissed his cheeks.
"Come sit. I'll show you my scrap book"
You smiled and sat on the floor as he happily ran to his cupboard to take out the scrap book. He sat beside you and handed the book to you. You started turning pages of the scrap book. You could see the efforts this little boy had taken to make it. There were pictures of his friends from different occasions but there were particularly more pictures of a girl."Is she your best friend? What is her name?"
"Yes! Her name is Rachel"
"Oooo. Looks like she's a special friend"
"Haha. Maybe. Ummm...you see the next page! There are more pictures", Freddy said as he blushed. It felt so cute.
You saw all the pictures and started playing with him. Soon enough, Fred was tired and fell asleep on your lap. You put your hand on his head and started stroking it gently. You felt peace for the first time in a long time, watching the adorable kid sleep. But at the same time, it made you sad because after today, you'll never be seeing this munchkin ever again. You looked out of the window, hoping this moment would never end and then you saw Gus, Justin's bodyguard standing outside. Before you could get up, Justin was standing in front of you. The reason for restless sleepless nights, loss of appetite and free rides to the emotional roller coaster, stood in front of you. He looked weak. Maybe because of the drinking or crying or both. He stared at you in silence, hands folded on his chest. All the emotions hit you like a volcano and you were trying really hard not to burst into tears. You were trying to remind yourself that he did you wrong and didn't deserve you. You wanted to punch him and yell at him and demand an explanation why he did what he did and did he ever love you. You wanted to ask him why he gave up on you so easily. Your eyes spoke oceans but you kept quiet. You got goosebumps but you both continued staring at each other before Sam walked in and broke the silence.
