I woke up and smiled because I was thinking of last night. And I got more happy because today is my little date with Noah. I got up and walked to the bathroom and got ready for the day. While I was getting, I got a facetime from Noah. I answered and saw that he was still in bed...and shirtless. "Hey you still in bed?" I said and he laughed. "You care to join I mean we can stay in bed all day if you would like." I smile, thinking about it, it isn't a bad idea. "Is that what we were going to do today?...I'm not saying no." He smiles. "No that's for another time, What we're doing to do is a surprise." "Oooo I love surprise!" I see him start to get up from bed. "Well I hope you like this one because we were going to have a lot of fun." I started to wonder what we were going to do. "Can I get a hint what we're gonna do?" He laughs "No I'm not gonna do that then it wouldn't be a surprised." He laughs a little. I was almost done getting ready I just need to curl my hair and pick out an outfit. "Okay okay but can I at least know if I'm going to need a sweater or not." I look at him then he smiles "If you get cold you can wear my jacket." I blush a little. "Okay deal, I'll let you go so you can get ready and let me finish up." "Aww okay I'll pick you up around 12ish, send me your address." I said goodbye then sent him my address. I curled my hair then went to my closet to find a cute outfit. I decided to go with light blue denim shorts and white shirt with navy blue detailing and basic slip on vans. I put some rings on and my favorite butterfly necklace. It was 20mins till 12 so I thought why not kill time by doing some homework and listen to a murder podcast. After I was done with my homework I noticed that I had 5mins before Noah came so I went up to my room brushed my teeth, got my phone from my nightstand and my keys. The door bell rang and I got a little bit of butterflies in my stomach, I checked myself out in the mirror one last time before I head out. I open the door and who was at the the wasn't Noah....
"Griffin?...what are you doing here?" I was shocked that he was here because we haven't talked in 6 months. "I know I came here out of the blue but I wanted to talk to you before you went on your date with Noah." "How did you know about Noah and I?" "Are you kidding this kid wouldn't stop talking about how he's going to take out this most beautiful girl he's ever seen." I smiled a little. "But what made you think he was talking about me?" "I saw you guys kissing in the pool last night at Bryce's party." My smile went away after hearing that. "I didn't doing or say anything about it because I didn't know if you told him about us?" He tried to hold my hand but I moved my hand away. "Us? Griffin there hasn't been an US in over what 2? 3? Years!" He looked down at the floor then looked up at me. "Look I said I was sorry and I wish I could take it all back but I can't." I started to feel tears coming down from my face. Griffin put his hand on my cheek to stop the tears. It felt good to feel his hand again. We stood close together for a minute or some...it was nice but then my door bell rang again. "That's probably Noah." He said as he removed his hand from my cheek. "Can we talk about this another time?" He nods. I told him to stay in my room till Noah and I left. He agreed and went to my room. I looked in my mirror and cleaned myself up a little then went to open the door. "Hey beautiful you ready for the best day of your life?" I laughed a little. "I'll be the judge of that." He reached out his hand and I put my hand on top of his. I grabbed my phone an keys looked back and remembered that Griffin was still here so I closed the door and locked it. I turned around and see that Noah was waiting for me with the passenger door open. I smiled a little thanked him and got in the car. As he was going around the car I see Griffin looking at me from my bedroom window. I stared back at him for a minute then looked away. Noah started the car and we headed out the driveway.
~Griffin~
Seeing her go with Noah really made me mad and disappointed at myself for letting her go back then. I stayed in her room a while looking at all the pictures she had of all our friends back home. She had this board of pictures all together. It was nice remembering everyone and all the memories we made. This one picture that was behind all the rest caught my eye. I tried to get to the picture without messing the board up. It was a picture of her and I at the state fair when we were dating. I remember this day like it was yesterday. It was our 3rd time hanging out by ourselves without friends and family. I won her a stuff graft and she called it baby G. I thought it was a stupid name but I went with it because she loved it. After winning the graft we went on the fest wheel and right when we were at the top looking over the fair I asked her to be my girlfriend. She smiled so big she started to cry and then said yes. I couldn't help myself I kissed her and that was the first time we kissed and it was amazing. We took this picture right after. She kept this this whole time? Why would she do that? Does she still have feelings for me? Why would she after how I hurt her. After we graduate we both planed to go to Indiana State University, we did but then tiktok came around and I stated to get noticed. I made stupid tiktok not really think people were going to see them but when I was around 250k followers Bryce messaged me and asked me if I wanted to get more fans and fame, and of course I said yes. I didn't tell anyone about it except my parents. I was planning to tell Xóchi, I just didn't know how. The day that I was supposed to go meet up with Bryce was the same day as move in day and was supposed to help her move in. I was at home thinking if I should stay here or go Florida. While I was thinking I got a call from Xóchi. I answered. "Hey babe where are you I thought you were gonna be here at 1?" I didn't say anything, I stayed quiet for a sec. "Babe? You there? I didn't lose you did I?" "Uh no I'm here." "Oh okay great where are you?" "At home." "Oh was I suppose to pick you up?" "No uh listen Xóch I gotta tell you something." "Okay? What's up?" "You know how I've been making those stupid little videos and posting them on tiktok?" "Yea there really cute but I don't get why there important right now?" "Well this guy his name is Bryce Hall got a hold of me and asked me if I could meet him in Florida and talk about somethings." "That's great Babe, when are you coming back?" "That's the thing after we met in Florida we're gonna move in with a bunch of other guys and make a content house called the sway house." She stayed quiet for a sec. "Xóch?" "Um what about school your friends and family?" "My parents think it's a great idea and everyone is happy for me." "What about us? I mean I thought we were gonna go to college together and be in each other's lives?...Griffin how could you not tell me about this earlier...so you're just gonna leave me here and leave without telling me?" I could hear her starting to cry. "I just don't understand why can't you be happy for me?" She didn't say anything for a sec. "Happy for you? you're meaning to tell me that I should be happy for you leaving me and ruining a future together all because of an app?...you can not be serious right now Griffin?" I knew she was really mad at me right now because she never called me by my first name, it was always babe, baby, Johnson, or G but never Griffin. "Yes like a girlfriend you should be proud and happy for me!" "And like a boyfriend you should have told me in the first place!" I didn't say anything because she was right. "Listen to me Griffin, you get on that plane it's over for us I'm dead serious right now?" "I didn't know what to do, stay with the love of my life or go for the fame? I kept thinking maybe if she sees how well I'm doing she will forgive me and we would have money to be together. "I'm sorry I gotta go catch my flight before it leaves." I heard her crying so I hung up on her and that was the last time I ever spoke to her. I regret leaving her but I hoped she would have forgive me when she knew that I was doing good. My plan was to ask her to come live with me at the house. I went back to Indiana a year later. I went straight to ISU to find her the moment I landed. When I got to ISU I went to the main building to ask what dorm she's in. They told me that it was late and that everyone in the campus is sleeping and I had to come back in the morning. They wrote down the room number so I wouldn't have to come back to the office. I couldn't wait that long so I decided to go to her room anyways. Room B104. As I got close to her room I started to get nervous, what if she moved on or what if she is going to slam the door in my face and tell me to never speak to her ever again. As I was thinking to much I made it to her room. I waited a minute before knocking. I wait a good minute before I knocked again. I heard the lock turning and the door was opening and I see this blonde headed girl. "Who are you and why are you knocking at my door?" "I'm looking for Xochi is she here?" "You only answered one of my questions." "I'm Griffin." Her eyes opened up a little when I said my name. "Oh so your the guy who left her?" I was shocked that she told her about me, I didn't think she would tell anyone. "Is she here?" She looked me up and down then smirked. "No she's not here she left home, said that she couldn't be here because it reminded her of what you took from her." I was kinda mad by the way she said that. "Fine then I'm going to her house." "No not that home." I was confused but then I realized what she was saying. I quickly ran out of there and got into my car and head to her house. By the time I arrived to her house it was 1 in the morning. I didn't want to wake her parents up. Then I remembered about her window. It was a broken window, the lock was broken so I would sometimes go through it when her parents wouldn't let me in or when I wanted to visit her late at night, she would leave it open for me. I went around back and got up to the window. It was easy to get in there was a ladder by it that her dad never moves. I went through the window and saw that her room was clean. Knowing her, her room would be messy most of the time. Clothes all over and some cups of water too. But this time it was clean clean. I walked around her room a little, I saw a picture of her and I smile and I felt a tear running down my cheek. "She knew you would come back" I heard someone say I turned around and saw Mrs. Anderson. "Mrs. A I'm sorry for coming in I just wanted to-." She cuts me off. "I was the one who opened the window." "You knew about the window?" She laughed a little. "Sweetheart I've known about the window for a while now." I wiped the tear from my cheek. "Is it true?...that she went back to home?" She sighed and nodded. I looked down at the picture. "She told me what you did." I looked at her. "I'm so sorry for what I did but I-." "Griffin I'm not mad at you." I stayed quiet and sat on her bed. "The reason I came back was for her I come with me and see why I left but I guess I waited to long." "The reason why she went to Australia was because she couldn't face the fact that there wasn't go be a future between you two. While she was in school she was doing okay but then this one time she called me crying because she missed you so much and she wanted to call you but was afraid that you were over her." I looked up at she surprised. "I love her with all my heart I will always love her no matter what." "She's only going to be in Australia for a month of so then she told me that she wasn't coming back to Indiana." "Did she say where she was going." "No but I trust that she will come back when she's ready." I smiled and put the picture back. "Keep it something to never forget her." "I will never forget her...ever." I still have that picture since that day. I put the picture back on the board and walked out her for into the living room and walked out to my car and drove back home. As I started to drive I realized something. I parked in front of Xoch's house, how did Noah not see my car?"
