⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀YEAR 2012

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀Have you ever asked yourself what would happen if you didn't choose that choice that lead you to a horrible, horrible mistake? Well I have, a lot of times actually. It was when I didn't get to realize that the love of my life was in love with me too. When I didn't realize that I was in love with him. I had to watch him being happy with the new girl he now loves. It pains me to see him smile everytime he sees his girlfriend. But, I had to be happy. After a few months, I got used to it, my mind would always say "move on, it's time. Have you seen his face? Yeah, he's happy. Not because of you" it was harsh but it was the truth. A few more couple months later, me and Luke have lost communication, he forgot about me. He did, it was pretty fucking obvious. He didn't even bother calling me. God, He won't even look at me. I always seem to try and get his attention by talking loud when he's there but still, hopeless.

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀As years past by, it's now 2019, we're now 23 year olds, I heard that Luke Hemmings was now engaged with the same girl, I received the news from Emily, my old best friend who still kept in touch with me.
                 A few weeks went by after hearing the news, I heard that the engagement was off and by hearing that news, something inside me sparked up. Hope, maybe? Or maybe happiness. I was being too selfish but I didn't care. I fixed my hair and changed into decent clothes and wandered of without a designated place.

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀I ended up in front of Luke Hemmings' door with sweaty palms and a nervous smile. After a few seconds, the door was opened and it revealed a sleepy Luke with a bottle of beer in his hand. He was scratching his eye, I just woke him up, oops? I looked at him again and this time, our eyes locked. Neither of us moved until I had the courage to speak up "hey, Luke" I greeted and fixed my posture. "Uhh.. Hey?" Great Luke, still the awkward dude I know. "I-" We both said at the same time. The awkward tension surrounded us quickly. "You firs-" we said in unison again. I sighed "How are you?" I smiled. The corner of this mouth twitched. Cute. "I'm doing great. Thank you. You?" He opened the door wider so I could enter "doing fine as well. Thank you very much." "So.. I heard about your engagement, Luke" I slowly started, not wanting to offend him. He scratched the back of his neck "uh yeah.. Found out she was cheating on me and stuff.... Yeah" his eyes search for something until it met mine. Awkward tension was surrounding us again.. Really, Luke? "So.. Uhh.. Okay. How have you been. It's been years since we've last communicated. I honestly missed you" And with my last sentence he tensed up but started to relax and looked at me then smiled, "You've missed so much.."

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀And that's how we get ourselves into a huge mess of food wars, remembering these horrible, embarrassing moments that lead to pillow fights and falling alseep in each other's arms for the first time in years.
