So Happy Together

Tomorrow Is Another Day.

Days passed. Then weeks. Now here you are, a little over 2 months later. You ignored every attempt Ben made to reach out to you. You still loved him, but you wouldn’t let him know.The night after the kiss in the parking lot you fought with him. Well not fought, more like you yelled at him, and he tried to calm you down. You didn’t even remember calling him, you just remembered hearing his voice over the phone, and letting it all out. Once you cut him out entirely you felt like a new person. You had fallen in love, gotten your heart broken. It changed you. Made you stronger. You soon noticed you thought about him less and less. Spring break started in 2 days, and you packed a bag in your dorm. Your long awaited trip to Italy was almost here. You listened to Elaine talk about her tour at NYU over the break. She had finally sent in everything she needed to for her application, and got accepted again. Once the coach of the team heard he invited her for a tour with some of the other girls he recruited. 

 “What else should I see? I’m only going to be there for 2 days, and I need to make sure I make the most of it.”

“Well you could meet some boys.” you teased 

“Uh, actually,” she said. You stopped packing and looked at her. 

“What?” you asked

“I was waiting for the right time to tell you. Matt kind of asked me out.” holy shit. He finally made a move.

“OH STARS REALLY!?!?” you yelled. 

“Yes! Nobody knows though. I was waiting to tell you first.” finally. They went back and forth for so long you thought they wouldn’t get together until their 30’s. 

“Elaine, this is so fucking great! When did it happen? Tell me everything!” you sat next to her giving her your full attention. 

“Well. It happened about 2 days ago. I was talking to him about NYU, and how much i was going to miss you all. I think he meant it as a joke, but he asked me not to meet some hot guy, and forget him. I told him to give me something I couldn’t forget.” just as you thought. Its a sickeningly adorable story.

“He just told me to meet him at his dorm after class, and he would. I agreed and he just said ‘it’s a date then’. I don’t know if he’s serious, but still.”

“El are you insane? it’s definitely a date!”

“I’m scared to ask him if it is.”

“Either way dress cute, and make sure you look hot as hell.”

 You both laughed and you got up to continue packing. You and your grandfather’s flight left at 6. You lived about 3 hours away from the airport so he agreed to pick you up early from school. Hux agreed to go by and feed Gideon while you were gone. You have been looking forward to this since christmas. After everything with Ben you wanted it more. To go away and forget all your troubles. You wanted to forget Ben, your parents, Rey, school. Everything. For a moment you wanted to pretend you were someone else living somewhere else. You finished packing your bag, and with that you had the two bags you needed for the week. It seemed excessive, but you needed an outfit for any occasion. Once you were done you laid in your bed. You imagined the sun hitting your skin as you walked down the streets in italy. How beautiful it would be to walk around the canals in venice, and admire the architecture in Milan. Your fantasizing was disrupted by yelling. You and Elaine looked at the wall behind her bed. 

 For the past few Months Ben and Rey had fought non-stop. He would go to her room, and within minutes they were yelling. According to some people in the boys dorms the same thing happened in Ben’s room. You took a second to thank the stars above that you were rooming with Elaine and not someone dramatic like Rey. you couldn’t exactly make out what they were saying, but it annoyed you all the same.
