They stand next to each other as they watch all their friends leave, hands inches apart, and he wonders if he's just filling in for Freddie.
And he watches as they all pull away, too different colleges and different states and different countries, and he wonders if they'll always be stuck here.
"Princess" he begins, because there's really not much else to say. Everyone's gone. JJ's gone. Panda's gone. Katie's gone. And Freddie's gone, but Freddie's really gone, and he wonders if Effy will ever move on, or if she'll just fuck him like she always has, before leaving him once more. Even without Freddie, he'll always be second best, because that's how it's always been, and it's always how it will be.
And the really fucked up thing is that'll he'll fall for her every time.
it's always gonna be you and me.
But she runs before he can continue, runs like she always does. That's how it always go, and that's how it'll always go. Even when it's just them, she runs.
And the pathetic thing is, he'll always follow.
