3rd person view
y/n and vinnie are both at the annual social media ball. they both noticed each other's presence but haven't acted on it.
vinnie sits right at the table next to her, with his friends and y/n's friend. as y/n sits with the, use to be, content house.
"if you don't go and talk to vinnie." liya nudges her bestfriend. both their friends can feel the tension in the room. actually, that's an understatement, everybody in the building can feel the tension between the two.
everybody knew about their relationship and how it ended, obviously. "most positive influencer goes to... y/n y/l/n." the girl hears.
y/n's pov
i hesitantly walk up to the stage and grab the award.
"thank you, everybody, for this. i wouldn't be here without my supporters and family. i've had a few rough- uhm- patches here and there but you all stuck with me. thank you. i love you all." i finish my little speech, the whole time i was glaring at vinnie.
i sit back down and place my award with all my other ones on the table. "you're presenting the next award. go backstage." maddy reminds me. i quickly get up and go backstage.
"you and vinnie go up in five. LINK ARMS!" the manager tells me. did i hear that right? vinnie?
"ready?" the guys asks. i nod and slowly link my arm with vinnie's. i sigh before putting on a fake, bright smile on my face as i walk onto the stage.
"the next category is, best couple of the year." i let vinnie finish off and name the nominees. "and.. vinnie and y/n." i hear him finish off the names.
"the winner is... y/n and vinnie.." i get quiet as i keep reading the card. type of shit? i look at liya in the crowd and she's laughing, having the time of her life.
i look over at vinnie and i gesture for him to speak because i really have no nice things to say.
"mmm, thank you for this. we appreciate it and thanks for the support on both sides." he says his dumbass speech. everybody claps and i link my arm with his again to walk off stage.
i instantly let go and let out a breathe that i didn't even know i was holding. "wait, uhm, can i talk to you y/n?" i hear vinnie behind me.
i roll my eyes before turning around. "yeah." he leads us to the balcony.
"speak." i wrap my arms around myself, trying to warm myself up.

"i miss you. i don't like the way we ended things. i never meant to hurt you or made you seem like i didn't love you anymore. i'm sorry for leaving you when you needed me the most." the boy finally apologizes after 6 months.
"vinnie.. i was falling apart and you left me. you said that i'm always sad. you knew what i've been through and you said in the beginning that'd you never leave me." y/n holds back tears.
"and i'm sorry. i really miss you. can we start over? i promise i won't leave again."
"vinnie.. it's not that easy." tears now spilling from y/n's eyes. vinnie walks over to y/n and wraps his arms around her. y/n feels safe again and listens to her favorite sound. his heartbeat.
she calms down her uneven breathing to the rhythm of his heart. she begins to remember all the nights when she fell asleep on his chest and the last thing she heard every night was "i love you."
"if we do try again, please don't leave." she gives in. "i promise." he plants a kiss on her forehead, something she missed a lot.
they hug for a while, both of them feeling safe and peace. i guess, they're each other's safe space.
