Your POV

I glared daggers at my boyfriend, not believing what I'm hearing.

He thinks I'm cheating on him?

He knows I'm loyal!

"He's just a friend, Vincent! Why can't you ever trust me when I say that?" I yell, and he looks down in shame. That doesn't stop me from going off on him. This has gone on for far too long.

"You don't trust me, do you? You know what? Fine! If you can't trust me when I say that I'm loyal, then I won't be your girlfriend anymore. Don't come crying back to me when you realize that I'm telling the truth!"

I run out with tears in my eyes, Vincent just standing there and watching me go.

"That jerk!" Theresa, my best friend, exclaims after telling my story to her. I sniffle and she hugs me again. "If he doesn't trust you, then he doesn't deserve you! Let's go make you feel better, okay?"

I chuckle as I pull away, nodding while wiping my eyes free of the tears. "Okay. Thanks, Theresa."

She grabs my hand and helps me stand up, "No problem, girl. Now c'mon, let's get you something nice to wear!"

Theresa leads me to her closet and picks out a beautiful dress for me. She also gets dressed and we go out to the nearby party that she was invited to. People stare at us, but I take it as a compliment.

Who cares what they think? We're here to have fun and get my mind off of my ex. The fight was days ago, and I've been so miserable without him.

That's why I finally told Theresa about the situation. If I can just forget about him for a while, that would be perfect. I'm so glad to have a friend like Theresa by my side to help me through this.

As we're walking through the manor, ignoring the snogging couples in every corner, I spot my ex in the crowd. I swallow nervously and look away, well aware of him noticing me too.

Theresa sees him and glares before leading me into the dance floor, further away from him as the crowd blocks his view of me and my view of him. I let out a breath of relief, thanking Theresa.

She smiles and dances with me, our dresses flowing with our dance moves gracefully. We laugh and just have fun, letting loose.

A guy comes up and dances with her, and she winks my way. I laugh at her and shake my head as another guy dances with me. It's not Vincent, thank the lord.

He has black hair and brown eyes. He tells me that his name is Zero. So I tell him mine, and he compliments me on it. I blush and compliment his name back. It is a really cool name to have.

I notice Vincent dancing nearby, and that he's watching us closely. I scoff at him and smile up at Zero as he makes a joke, giggling.

"That was so stupid," I laugh, shaking my head as he grabs my hand and twirls me, then bringing me close to him.

"It made you laugh though, so that's a win," he says playfully, chuckling with me.

"If you say so," I roll my eyes at him and he holds me so close to him that it's like we're not even strangers. It's like we're...lovers.

I don't really like that. I'm still not over Vincent. My heart aches as I think about him, but I push that thought away. I'm here to live and forget, not cry and remember.

I smirk and pull away, twirling Zero instead. He laughs at me, "Switching roles, huh? You're never boring, I assume?"

"I hope not," I smile and a slow song comes on.

"I never thought you were," he says kindly as he sets his hands on my waist, mine reaching up to loop around his neck.

"Why, thank you," I state with a playful grin.

We continue to talk throughout the dance, becoming good friends instantly. We just clicked. Though neither of us have feelings for each other.

He has eyes for another girl, but she isn't here so he decided to make a new friend. That friend being me, since he noticed Theresa being dragged off.

I tell him about my ex and even point him out to Zero, just so he knows that if Vincent comes closer that I'll probably be uncomfortable. He nods and probably makes a mental note of it.

I notice that the guy Theresa is dancing with kisses her. I watch as she kisses him back happily. Do they know each other? I hope so. I don't want my best friend to be kissing a random stranger.

The dance ends and Zero leads me to get drinks. He hands one to me and we just sit next to each other, talking and laughing some more. Theresa comes over with the guy she kissed and says, "Hey! This is Thomas, the boy I've been wanting you to meet, YN! He's my boyfriend."

(AN: The Maze Runner reference. Get it? :P)

I smile, "Oh, it's nice to meet you, Thomas!"

"You too, YN!" he replies with a smile, holding Theresa's hand as they sit down with Zero and I.

"And guys, this is Zero! Just met him tonight," I introduce and he waves, them greeting him back.

We all just talk and have fun together. When we leave, I feel my wrist be grabbed.

I twist around and glare, ripping my arm out of his grasp. "Leave me alone, Vincent!"

"I just need to talk to you," he says, almost desperately.

"She doesn't want to talk to you," Theresa growls and pushes him back as Zero and Thomas lead me away from the scene. "So leave her alone."

Theresa catches up to us and wraps an arm around my shoulders, holding her boyfriend's hand with her free hand. Zero takes hold of my free right hand in a friendly and comforting way. I thank them all as we head back to Theresa's place.

Weeks go by, and I'm even more miserable without Vincent by my side. He's been trying to contact me, but I've just been blowing him off.

Maybe I should meet with him.

I clearly need him.

There's a knock on my door and I look through the peephole to see who it is. It's Vincent.

I grab a quill with ink and paper. I write down on the note and slide it under the door, along with the quill. Ink drops from the quill so he can write back. He can just send the quill back if he needs more ink.

Why are you here? -YN

Because I made a mistake. I need you. Please talk to me. -Vincent

We are talking. Speak. -YN

He apparently took that literally because he sent the paper and quill back before talking aloud. I look down at the paper as he talks, noticing a heart drawn on it.

🖤

"I was wrong, YN. I was just jealous, okay? I was jealous because your friend always got so close to you and you've been spending so much time with him. I felt almost forgotten, despite you always coming back and spending more time with me. It's selfish, I know, but I can't help it. I'm still in love with you. Will you give me another chance?"

I stand and unlock the door, opening it and kissing him. He kisses me back and hugs me close to him. God, I've missed this.

When we part I smile, "Of course I will."
