Reagan's POV

"Hey," Luke whispered, hugging me.
I stood limply in his arms.
"So it's over?" He asked
I nodded into his chest, "yes. He said I could finally be happy now."

"It's true," he told me, "you can be with Calum now,"
"But isn't it too soon?" I asked
"No," Luke shook his head, "you don't understand how long we've been waiting for this. Besides, you love eachother, there's no point in putting it off,"
I nodded my head again, "thanks Luke."

"Anytime, now let's go upstairs," he suggested.
I nodded and we stood in the elevator. There was no avoiding Calum. I was sure that the story of nick and is breakup would be reported immediately. He would find out sooner or later.
As soon as Luke opened the door, I came face to face with the boy whom I'd been trying to avoid for such a long time. He looked shocked to see me. He looked at Luke, alarmed by my teary eyes and damp cheeks.

"What happened?" He demanded.
Luke nudged me inside, "you two need to work this out yourselves. Ashton, Michael! Were going out,"
Michael and Ash appeared, looking alarmed to see me too.
"Hi Rea," Ashton gave a small smile.
Michael ruffled my hair as he passed. I watched them leave and the door close before I finally looked to Calum.

"What's wrong Rea?" Calum asked softly.
I looked down at the floor, sniffling and wiping my eyes.
"He broke your heart didn't he?" His voice got rough.

I nodded my head slowly. Calum immediately came over to me and hugged me. I had missed this so much. He just held me there before pulling back a little and wiping my tears.I refused to look up at him. I couldn't bare to. I knew all I would see is sympathy and slight cockiness- becuase after all, he knew this was going to happen.

His face was inches from mine. It was making me second guess my decision to let him go. He was just so familiar to me, and I missed him. I missed his cuddles, and his kisses, and sassy remarks, how husky his voice got in the morning, and his hoodies and just....everything. I could make a list of everything I loved about him and it'd be never ending.

"Reagan, you can't tell me that you don't regret that night," he whispered, "it was a mistake, that's all. A mistake that can easily be fixed."
"No," I whimpered.

My voice was betraying me. I knew that sounded the least but convincing as it could have.
He knew that too. I was regretting every word that left my mouth at the moment, and I was thankful that he knew me too well. He knew that my words were the exact opposite of what I meant at the moment. But I couldn't help it. I was too overwhelmed. I had spent the last year working so hard on being okay without him. I thought I had actually done it. I had felt so proud of myself because that was the worst hurdle I've ever had to overcome.

I thought I finally overcame it. But no. Those feelings of victory were just a lie, I only pretended. I never won. If I did, I would've walked out of this room a long time ago.

"I can see it in your eyes," he shook his head, "no ones ever going to know you like I do. It's been a year and I haven't forgotten a single thing. Just like you know everything about me. That's love, you don't find that more than once,"
Tears stung at my eyes, I looked down to the floor.
"I'm sorry," my voice cracked.

When I looked back up, he looked defeated. He obviously hadn't been expecting hat I was about to say next.

"I'm sorry for fighting with you. It was so stupid and it shouldn't have happened, and breaking up with you is the worst decision I think I will have ever made, because I miss you so much," I confessed, "and I love you. I never stopped, I never loved Nick ever. It's always been you."
He looked shocked at first.

Before I could react he cupped my cheeks and kissed me. I responded immediately, now realizing just how much I missed him, which was more than before. I couldn't remember the last time I actually got to kiss him.

Looking back I felt ashamed at how we coildve ended up. That stupid argument could have been the last time I ever saw him or spoke to him. After everything we had. 4 years. He wasn't just my boyfriend, he was my best friend. We were a team, we stick together. We're better than a stupid fight.
"I missed you so much," he pulled back, burying his head in the crook of my neck, placing a couple soft kisses.

He tried to move back, but I refused to let go of him.
"I'm not going anywhere," he assured softly, "I just want to go sit. Is that okay?"
I nodded and finally let go, letting him lead me over to the couch. He sat down and gestured for me to join him with a sweet smile on his face.

I collasped onto his lap and rested my head in the crook of his neck. He rubbed my back soothingly. I took some shaky breaths to calm my nerves.
"I'm right here," he whispered, "and I'm never leaving you like that ever again,"
"Promise?" I peeped
"Promise," he smiled.

"It's been so long since I've been here," I sighed, looking around.
Calum smiled, "it's good to be home isn't it?"
I nodded my head, "always,"
We walked up the walkway to his house. I laughed as he knocked on the door.

"What?" He asked, a small smile playing on his lips.
"This is your house you weirdo," I pointed out.
He shrugged, "I don't want to scare my mum. She doesn't know were here,"
A couple seconds later, the door opened. His mother was staring at us through the glass door in utter shock. Calum spluttered laughter.

"Let us in!" He whined.
She pushed the door open and yanked both of us inside.
"You're home!" She squeezed the two of us in a hug.
We both laughed and enveloped her in a group hug. She started to cry.

"Why are you crying mum?" Calum pouted.
"I'm just so happy," she assured him.
He smiled, "aw mum, we missed you too,"
She turned to me and hugged me even tighter. I looked over her shoulder to Calum who had the biggest grin on his face.

"I'm so happy that you're back," she told me.
It was enough to bring tears to my eyes.
"The family wasn't complete without you," she wiped her eyes, smiling warmly at me, "and I never got to tell you how proud I am of you."
"Aw Joy," I sniffled, clinging into her, "you're making me emotional! I missed you too!"

She giggled and we just hugged for a bit. I looked up and saw Calum crying.
"Calum!" I whined, "not you too!"
He laughed and wiped his eyes, "it's you guys fault!"
Joy giggled, "okay, we should stop crying now. Come into the kitchen I'll make you guys something to eat,"

This immediately cleared up the emotion in the room. Me and Calum grinned at eachother, highfiving and pumping our fists in the air. Man did Calum's mom make the best snacks ever.
"I think I missed you and your cooking more than Calum" I told her.
She giggled.

"Hey," Calum pouted.
I smiled and stood on my tip toes to ruffle his adorable hair. He rolled his eyes playfully.
"Race to the kitchen?" He asked, raising his eyebrows.
I nodded eagerly, "oh you're on!"

Notes

The final chapter!
this story was short and sweet, but I like it. I'm kinda glad it's over though, I'm ready to move onto another project. Did you guys like it? Anything you didnt like that I can improve on?

whats next? I'm willing to get started immediately on another story. Idk what boy, I'm giving you liberty to chose if you want, but if you don't then I'll just do it myself.

Also, what do you think of a AU? Like another bad boy or athlete or something? Idk those are more fun to me I guess.
