Imagine #13: Revenge Is A Dish Best Served Cold (End)

*Patrick's P.O.V.*   

"Will you guys please stop looking at me like that. I already know I did a huge mistake, and I'm a huge jerk and I didn't listen to you...Stop shoving it more to my face." I told Pete, Joe, and Andy while we're in the studio. It was the morning after what happened last night and I seriously had no sleep from last night, besides, who would have sleep after knowing that you did something wrong to someone who you mistook for someone else.

"Somehow we have a fault in here too, we didn't realize it wasn't her." Andy stated which made me sigh.

"I feel so fucking stupid, I feel like a huge jerk...how did I become this blinded. I should have just listened to you, guys. Now I just lost someone who's doing nothing else but to keep up with my shit and love me even if I'm like this. She just hates me now." I said.

I honestly don't know what to do but I do understand that what is did was unforgivable. It was too selfish, I was too blinded by anger and revenge that I didn't even look at other possibilities, and now I pay the price. And now that I have known the truth, I realized how much I really like Y/N...stupid right?! JUST STUPID. I was holding myself back all because of that past anger that I closed out on her, and to think that she's NOT EVEN THE GIRL I thought she was...goddammit, I just want to throw myself in a river or something.

"You should try and talk to her by now? She might have calmed down and besides, it's better for you to talk this out." Joe suggested and I chuckled at him.

"Are you kidding? She would never want to talk to me again. You didn't see the disappointment in her eyes last night." I told them.

"And there you go again, assuming things and then just regretting when it's all too late." Pete suddenly murmured which really got me off guard. I just became silent and stare at them.

"He's right, last time you assumed too much, you regret too late." Joe continued.

"And let me remind you, that just happened now." Andy said and they just stared at me again.

"I hate you guys for always being right." I murmured as I stood up and grabbed my jacket. "I'll try to talk to her, and hope that she doesn't despise me by now."  I continued before I go out of the studio. 

My heart is seriously pumping fast right now and I feel so scared...but of course, I have to do the right thing. Just be sorry for everything and admit that what I did is really wrong.

--------------

I drove towards Y/N's house and it felt like a very long ride, but despite that, I still have no idea how to say what I'm going to say. My mind is just a mess and my thoughts are scattered and I completely hate it.

"Come on, Stump! You made this mess so be ready to clean it up!" I whispered to myself. I'm already parked just outside her house, but I'm still not climbing out my car. I'm still trying to think of what to say.

After a few minutes, I finally climbed out with a loud beating of my heart against my chest. I walked and rang the doorbell and soon, she peeked out of the balcony on the second floor.

"Y/N...please, can we talk? I-I'm really sorry...I just want to --

"Patrick, please go. I don't want to see or talk to you just yet." Y/N said looking so sad and it's just painful for me for knowing that I caused that.

"Please, Y/N, even just for a while." I pleaded.

"I'm sorry, Patrick, not yet. Please." she replied.

"Then I'm not going anywhere. I just want to show you how sorry I am and how I regret doing those to you...I won't go till you're ready to talk to me." I said, I know I'm being pushy her, but I became that determined. 

I saw Y/N heavily breathe and she just went inside her house again...I do understand her not wanting to talk to me just yet, but at least I'm trying here. I also want to show her how sorry I am and how I'm determined to talk to her, not just because I did something wrong, but because I really regret being this blind.

I literally stayed there in front of her house for hours, sitting on the gutter, walking around, and just waiting. I didn't call her out again since I don't want to annoy her, I just want to let her know that I really am gonna wait here.

Soon enough, the skies may have hated me for doing such terrible things to her that even it wants to shove to my face that I should suffer for this. The skies became dark and within a few minutes, heavy rain started to drop, but still, it won't move me from there. Now call me the Man Who Can't Be Moved.

The rain continued to fall and I was honestly just letting it soak me. I sat on the ground with my back facing Y/N's house door. I silently sat there, accepting the skies wrath on me. Suddenly, I felt a hand touch my arm and gently pulled me up. I looked back and it was Y/N holding an umbrella, then she pulled me inside her house.

Once we're inside I just stood there by the door while looking at her. I realized how soaked I am because I'm just dripping rainwater everywhere.

"Y/N...I...really am...

"You know I really tried to ignore you, to be unfair with you because of what you did to me, but turns out I just can't. Of course, I won't leave you just staying there...and besides, I don't have the reason to be unfair to you. At least for your situation, you had a reason." she stated sadly while just staring at me.

"No, no, I had no reason and right to do that. I was just too blinded by anger and no one, not even that real girl should have deserved that, I became someone I hate..." I told her.

"You have a reason, it's a human instinct anyways. You know, revenge. It's a natural thing...and honestly, I'm not angry with you, Patrick, and I realized that because I know you are telling the truth and somehow I would even support you for doing such thing. Maybe I just felt that you were so unfair to me, but then again I realized, you don't know it wasn't me. So really, who am I to judge? Maybe I would have done the same thing." she explained then she handed me a towel while giving me a small smile.

"I was just blinded by my hatred and thirst for revenge. That girl really made my life like hell before and my mind just went wild when I saw you and you reminded me of that girl that I didn't even consider that you're not really her. And I'm so so so sorry, Y/N. You didn't deserve to be treated like that, actually, no one deserves to be treated like that. I have no idea if you're going to forgive me, but just know that I will forever regret doing this." I sincerely told her while looking at her eyes.

"Come on, dry yourself up. I'll show you something." she suddenly said while smiling at me and again, I just like how she's able to handle different situations.

I somehow dried myself up with the towel she gave me, Y/N also gave me hot tea as we sat in her dining room. It wasn't really awkward and honestly, I felt like the tension was already lifted, but of course, I'm still feeling all the guilt.

I just hope this will all end well.

*Y/N's P.O.V.*

It's raining heavily outside and Patrick's still there...I know he's really feeling guilty and he regrets everything and now I'm the one being unfair here, but I guess not for long. All I know is I couldn't be unfair to that guy. 

I took an umbrella, went outside, and pulled the guy inside my house. I couldn't just leave him out there, besides, he proved that he's really determined to say sorry. Also, I somehow understand why he did those things.

We started to talk as he told me how sorry and regretful he is and I told him that I understand him and seriously, the tension was lifted up. I do think that most problems can really be solved with calm conversation and being able to put yourself in the shoes of others, and in my case, I did that and began to understand why Patrick did those things.

I was just really a girl in the wrong time and place that's why I felt that.

Somehow, Patrick managed to dry himself off with the towel I gave him. I also invited him to the dining area and gave him some hot tea. Soon, I sat beside him while holding my laptop, wanting to show him something.

"This is her right? That girl you were talking about?" I asked me as I showed him that girl's social media accounts.

"Yes, how did you find her?" he asked in shocked.

"I'm a good stalker, apparently." I joked and we both chuckled. "But my point here is, look at her...her life isn't as great as before. She's infamous, hated by many, she's too sexual, she's almost like a pornstar. Patrick, I wasn't showing this to you for us to judge her...to laugh at her, what I want to prove is...you don't have to do the revenge thing for yourself. We have karma to do that for us and trust me, that's better. It doesn't involve you turning into a person you would hate. Yes, revenge may be sweet most especially if you do it by yourself, but at the end of the day, think about it...you've somehow become a person you would hate. You would have to be mean to take revenge, you would have had to do something bad, something hurtful and that doesn't make you a better person. I would just give you temporary pleasure but at the end, you'll just end up being like them." I started telling him like I was his mother of something, but that's actually what I want to say to him right now. "Don't let it corrupt you. You know, honestly, I'm happy that you did this...because I have learned my lesson too. I  myself have feelings like this too. But thanks to you, I realized it was just wrong." I continued.

Patrick was listening to me attentively, he wasn't that kind of guy who would brush me off for saying cheesy things like this. I know he's actually listening hard, sincerely absorbing what I was saying.

"You're right, you're totally right that I just became speechless...you know, I couldn't be more thankful on how understanding you are. I did many wrong things to you, treated you negatively, hurt you, but still, you're talking to me like I did none of those things." he said which made me smile. "You really amaze me, Y/N and I'm not just saying this to make it up to you, I honestly like you...my hatred was just holding me back but now, you made me realize I should let it all go now."  he continued.

"Good to know that, Patrick. Sorry if I tried to ignore you earlier, I just tried to be mean." I told him with a giggle.

"No need to be, I deserved it anyways. Again, I'm so sorry, Y/N...mind starting this all over again?" he asked me.

"You bet, Stump. This time no more revenge thingy on the way." I stated, pulling him into a hug.

"Promise." he murmured and that's just all I wanted to hear.
