🪽 : “I’m in love with summer” - “I hate summer”

You and Junior began dating a year ago, it was probably the best time of both of your lives. Key word; was. You two were close, always at each others houses and his parents loved you, your parents love him. Everyone knew you were together, everyone knew how close you were. Her buy you milk chocolate instead of dark because he knows how sucky you think it is, and you’d buy him that one protein bar that he loves before football (⚽️) training. It was great, until it wasn’t.

You two broke up two months ago. Junior was devastated, but obviously didn’t show it to anyone. He didn’t even know why which hurt even more, but what killed him? seeing you stare at him from across the hall and cafeteria. You broke up with him, why are you always watching him? He tried to shrug it off but he couldn’t. It irked him. He felt like he had to know why but he didn’t want to ask.

To get over the break up he tried to distract himself with other girls which never worked, none of them had that sweet scent vanilla with a hint of caramel like you do, or that small freckle behind your ear that is shaped like a star. They aren’t you. To him, no one can be you. You’re irreplaceable. Once in a lifetime thing. The ‘canon event’ girl that no boy ever gets over. He doesn’t want things to be over. He doesn’t want to end this chapter of his life right now, he wants it to keep going but your clearly don’t feel that way.

He tries to forget everything about you but that will never work, you’d spent nearly a year together. You’re apart of him now. He hasn’t even brung himself to get rid of that photo of you two on his bedside table or gotten around to deleting of all photos of you together. He feels he’s missing a piece of himself.

Junior was invited to a party, he agreed to keep his mind off you for a little while. But the second he entered the first person he saw you, across the place, giggling with another boy. His heart sank and was in a mood for the next hour while talking with his friends.

Junior went to grab a refill of his drink, and so had you ‘coincidentally’. He noticed you and tried to ignore you, he had to force himself to not look at you, you noticed this and looked concerned. It’s not that you don’t miss him, you do. A lot. Just as much as he does miss you but it’s complicated right now.

“Hey.” You spoke up with a smile, grabbing a cup beside the bowl of punch “Are you suddenly into parties now?” You asked playfully, in hope to lighten the mood. You’ve never known him to be a party type of guy.

Junior was surprised when you spoke up, he had almost not replied in shock but he played it off cool. “Hey. Nah, still not a fan but it gives me something to do.” Junior internally sighed of relief when he didn’t make a fool of himself infront of his ex he hadn’t spoke to for two nearly three months now.
