Imagine #35: Everybody Wants Somebody Who Doesn't Want Them (Part 4)  

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

I'll never regret going away from them for a while after I found out the truth. I just know I couldn't be near Patrick after that. It's not that I hated him, it's just that I love the guy too much and even with all the things that had happened...I know I'll just keep on falling in love with him. God, I'm a hopeless romantic! And because of that, I decided to give myself a break...maybe that's what I really needed and now I realized...it really helped.

It's been a year since I decided to go for a while and cut ties with the band and Patrick for a while, I promised them I'll come back if things got better and it really did. I know to myself that I've moved on, and really, I have forgiven Patrick. Besides, I just feel like he's now happy too, he's probably with Elisa now and honestly, I'm excited to see them again.

I moved to another city through this whole year, met and worked with a lot of different people and that really distracted me and made me forget what had happened. I was able to leave that scenario in the past and continued on...but now, I think it's time to meet them again. In all honesty, I missed them too.

My plane just landed back here in Chicago and really, I missed this place. 

"Y/N? Y/N! Finally!" I heard and I finally saw Pete, he volunteered to fetch me in the airport.

"Peteeee!" I excitedly called out and went in to hug him. "I've missed you!" 

"I missed you too, we all missed you! How are you? You honestly look great." he said and I just playfully punch him on the arm.

"What did you eat to compliment me like that?" I asked while giggling. I'm really used to Pete teasing me non-stop. "I've been good...better, in fact! How about you? And the boys?" I asked.

"We're great! We couldn't wait to meet you, they're at my house right now waiting for you! I mean, Joe, Andy, and Patrick." he said...I honestly thought my heart would leap again when I heard Patrick's name...but I guess not, I'm really happy I moved on.

"Great! Let's go then and maybe grab some food before we reach there, I'm starving!" I stated as we walk towards his car.

"As always, you're still looking for food." he teased...now this is the Pete that I'm used too.

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

"Guess who's back, bitches!"  I playfully said the moment Pete and I entered his house.

"Y/N!!!" they all said excitedly. Andy and Joe immediately went close to me then hugged me. "You got a little fat!" Joe said and I sarcastically laughed at him.

"Thanks, that's really what I wanted to hear from you after a year, Trohman!" I playfully stated, but then laughed.

"We really missed you! We're glad you're back!" Andy said excitedly.

"Of course, I won't leave this crew for good. This is my family, I just had a hiatus!" I said while smiling widely. I'm pretty sure someone is being silent in here.

I gazed over to Patrick who's just looking at us with a smile on his face. "Well? Am I not your best friend anymore?" I asked him with a giggle and he chuckled at me. Finally, he went closer and gave me a welcome hug.

"I'm glad you came back." he said, his voice was a lot gentle and it's more like a whisper. I smiled while we hug.

"Told you I'll come back, and you know what this means right? Just leave it all behind." I whispered before pulling back. "Glad we're still best friends." I said.

"This calls for a celebration!" Pete suddenly screamed and immediately after that I heard a can of soda being opened.

He put it up while he stood in the middle of all of us. "Here's to Y/N's come back! Cheers!" he said as we laugh.

I really missed them so much and I'm happy everything returned to normal again.

*Patrick's P.O.V.*

I didn't realize how Y/N meant to be until she went away...I guess it's really true then, huh? You'll know the meaning of something when it is gone...and now I'm feeling that.

I know it was my fault and I respect her decision, besides, she said she'll come back soon...she just needs to take a break for my shitty acts. I've really been a bad best friend to her and I just realized that after she found it all out.

Of course, I was guilty and I promised myself to never do that again. That's one of the things I'll forever regret. And another on that page is how I didn't realize how she made an impact in my life.

The moment she was gone, I felt like a part of me have gone away too. I missed the things we do together, I missed her corny jokes, her overly cheerful vibe...I actually missed the whole of her. I was such a jerk to do that to her...and this might be my punishment for that. I'm just holding on to the fact that she's coming back

Of course, I just continued with my work when she went away...being happy that Elisa was there to help me with the Soul Punk album. Honestly, I still like her very much and after some months, I decided to tell her my feelings too, but I can never forget what she told me after that.

"Aaaw, Patrick, really, I am really honored and I'm shocked too...but I'm sorry, I kind of like someone else, I really hope you understand. But thank you, seriously, I'm honored, and I know you'll find the perfect girl for you." those were her words and I know I can't forget that anytime soon.

I respect her answer and I really salute her for handling the situation well, unlike what I did to Y/N. At least I got the honest answer, right? Not like what I did. And this is where I really realized how I fucked Y/N up. I'm a horrible person.

Thankfully, even after that, Elisa and I continued to be good friends and we finished the album before she has to go away again. Of course, we wished each other the best and have gone separate ways since then.

Now I'm just left alone with this guilt of mine, but at least I have my music to distract for the mean time.

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

Why is my heart beating like this? Why are my palms getting sweaty and why can't I keep my eyes off her?

I'm just nervous, right? I mean, I've done a horrible thing to her and it's been a year...now she's back, I'm just nervous......right?....right?

I really tried to convince myself on that but I know that on the back of my head...that wasn't the case, I've never felt like this before towards her. What on earth is happening...this couldn't be happening.

Why does this have to happen now? Now that Y/N's back again, I realized that all I'm really looking for is someone that had been beside me for so long...and that was her.

.

But I realized this all too late now.
