You and your friends reunite for the first time give years after graduating. Suddenly Lucas stood up and you feel your heart beating fast.
You and him had been together in highschool for a while, but ended up breaking up because you were going to different colleges.
But the texts during those years apart and the eye contacts you two had exchange since you've arrived made you hope that maybe this could work now.
"There's something I didn't tell you." He admitted. "I...meet a girl on campus"
Your smile instantly fades, but your friend don't seem to notice As they're focused on listening to Lucas.
"We've been together for three years now" he goes on as your fighting the urge to let tears slip out of your eyes.
"And so I proposed to her before coming here" he announces. "And she said yes"
All of your friends stand up to congratulate him, as you stand there staring at the void. You look up to him to find out that, in the middle of the cheering he's looking at you too, as if for the first time he realizes you are there.
He really had moved on. He was engaged to someone else. All of this hits you right there, at this one moment that was supposed to be happy. Guess you'll wait for his love forever...
Nathan, the campus crush who's Lucas enemy although they're in a circle of friends that's why he's here, noticed you.
He put an arm on your back and slowly rub your back as he comforts you. "Hey it's okay.." he said quietly to you.
