About Two Years Later
I stood in the middle of the room with tons of people trying to congratulate and hug me. Today is my goodbye party, and probably the last time I was going to see most of these people. My mum had organized the whole thing, inviting all of my friends and family to the party that is in my house.
I finally got away from the mob of people surrounding me and walked over to the couch. I sat down and sighed.
2 days and I'll be leaving for University.
2 days and I'll be on my own.
2 days and the life here with just me and my mum will be over.
2 days and everything changes.
I looked around the room at everybody. They were all laughing, talking, smiling. They all looked so happy, so carefree. All except one person. My heart skipped a beat when I saw him standing there in the corner of room, not interacting with anybody, a small frown on his face. He was dressed in a black suit with a red tie. I sat there staring at him, my mind not fully processing what was going on anymore.
Finally, I stood up and started walking towards him. I'm not sure if I really wanted to, but my legs wouldn't stop walking, bringing me closer and closer to him. After what seemed like years, I was standing right in front of him. He didn't notice that I was there; he just kept looking at the floor. I stood there for a minute longer before I finally decided to speak. "What are you doing here?" I asked, my throat growing dry.
He looked up at me. He took a deep breath and gave me a small smile, "That's not the nicest welcome in the world" he whispered.
I sighed and wrapped my arms around my body, "Dougie, we haven't talked or seen each other for almost two years." I whispered.
"Sorry," he said, his eyes looking me up and down, "Your mum invited me."
I nodded, "And you came?"
"Of course." he whispered, "I wouldn't miss it for the world"
I smiled as Dougie took my hand and started walking through the room. He led me over to the stairs and started walking up them, "What are you doing?" I asked as we reached the top of the stairs.
"Going to your room so we can talk." he said as he turned the doorknob and opened the door to reveal my room. Boxes covered the floor; they were all filled with my possessions. He looked around the room, his face unreadable, "I've never seen this room so empty…" he whispered.
I sighed, "Same here."
"Are you excited?" he asked, leaning up against my dresser.
"Excited…not really," I said with a laugh, "More like scared and nervous as hell."
"Don't be," he said, a smile placed on his face, "You'll do amazing."
He felt my cheeks heat up, "How do you know?" I whispered.
"Because you're amazing," he whispered back. I hit him playfully on the shoulder, "Hey! It's true."
"Thanks," I said with a smile.
"You know what?" Dougie said, I raised an eyebrow, "You look exactly the same…"
I look at him for a second, "Really?" I questioned.
He nodded, "Yeah…well, your boobs are bigger, but other than that…yeah…" he said with a smirk.
"Ha-ha," I said with a laugh, "Well you don't look much different either, except for the fact that you're in a suit."
He rolled his eyes, "Yeah, I had to go buy it because I owned no suits."
"Still only Hurley's and Three-Quarters in your closet?" I asked.
He nodded and smiled, "Of course!"
"Why am I not surprised?" I laughed.
Dougie looked at the ground and took a deep breath, "Cam?" he whispered.
"What?" I replied.
"Can I kiss you?" he asked, his cheeks turning red.
My heart started beating faster, "Why?" I asked my voice small.
"Because I'm never going to see you again, am I?" he said his voice small as well.
I shook my head, "No probably not." he nodded and raised an eyebrow, waiting for my answer to the first question. I took a deep breath, "Doug…I would love to say yes, I really, truly do. But, if I do, I guarantee that the feelings that I used to feel for you will all come back…and then we would be back where we started two years ago. It was great seeing you again, but I need to continue living my life…and you need to continue living yours. And we need to do this apart."
His face dropped a little bit, "I get it…" he whispered.
"I'm sorry…" I said, pulling him into a hug.
"Don't be," he said, hugging me back, "I understand."
"Good," I whispered.
"You know what, Cam?" he said, his voice lowering.
"Hmmm?"
"I've never stopped loving you. I never will." he whispered in my ear.
"Never?" I repeated with a laugh.
"Never ever."
