We all have that one person who got away.
It could be someone you saw in a grocery store, buying the chocolate you were craving for or eating your favorite ice cream. And when you just got the courage to talk to him/her, they slipped away before you even got the chance to say 'hi'.
It could be the person you were crushing on since forever and just when you were about tell them, they disappear without a trace.
It could even be your ex, if you had to let go of him/her for the good of your relationship.
Or it could be a loved one that passed away...
But whatever the situation, we all have them. And this is the story of Piper and Blake and how they were each others 'one that got away'. But at the same time, they were also each others' 'one that came to stay'.

I know.
10 years. 10 years of hating Griffin Taylor. Luckily for me, he lives hundreds of miles away and I very rarely have to handle the knowledge he's in town for his 48 hour visits. Some supposed best friend he turned out to be. Mum and dad would have screamed at him for hours for missing the things he did. Though, Griffin Taylor never did care about other people's feelings. I always thought I wasn't apart of that rule. That I was different to him. His best friend. His rock. No call. No text, no message through his mum or his brother. Nothing. Mine and Piper's world collapsed from under us. Total strangers on the outskirts of town showed their love and support. But Griffin? He showed up 18 months later with barely a word before taking another life altering phone call. Ass. Now, 6 years after I last had the pleasure of being in his almighty presence, Piper made the overwhelming, stupid decision to invite him to her wedding. It's fine. He'll be here for his usual 48 hours and I'll find a million things to keep me out of his way so I'll barely see him. It's fine. Not a problem. I can handle it. Piper wants him here, Piper wants her family here and I guess, with no one else, the Taylor's are family. For Piper I'll keep my thoughts to myself, I'll smile and I'll be the good Christian I am. But as far as I care, Griffin Taylor can rot. In. Hell.Complete![[Excerpt] Accidentally Perfect](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/210858799-256-k353797.jpg)

With a peaceful look, eyes full of tears and a broken heart I kissed his forehead "you were, are and will be the best thing that ever happened to me" Then it was silent, all trace of laughter, happiness and love, disappeared and along with it, went the love of my life "Christian would have want you to live" Just as we parted ways the last time, I walked out without a word, without a single sound or mutter, only a single tear sliding down my cheek as I left him there, to die.

Fighting for Rose
-Blake- Rose stands not too far in front of the ring looking at me, her face is pale and my gut twists in ways it never has. She shouldn't be here, why the hell is she here? My hands drop to my side, the victorious feeling once flowing through me is replaced with one of dread. She saw me fighting. ------- -Rose- "Alright. Time for you to go." He says. I feel the pull on my arm as he tries to take me away but my feet feel like they are glued to the ground as I continue to look at Blake. He has a little smirk on his face as he looks over the crowd. A look so completely different than any of the ones I saw the other day. Then our eyes meet, and his smirk drops. He drops his hands that were just held high in victory and looks at me like he's seeing a ghost. The guard pulls harder on my arm and I go flying back into his chest. "Listen here, I don't want to manhandle you, so do as I fucking say. Move." He growls as he pushes me into the crowd of celebrating people. I do what he says and start walking towards the exit, but I look over my shoulder one last time before I'm too far in the crowd to see anything. Blake's hands are fisted by his side and his face is red with anger, his eyes are focused on the hands that are on me pushing me away from him. ----- I am the original owner of this book, please do not copy.
