Author's Note: So the last fanfic I wrote, I said I could make it into a multi-chaptered one. Well, I guess I changed my mind.
This fic is all in Mara's POV and it is a songfic. The lyrics of "Someone like You" by Adele are in italics, and it isn't part of the letter.
This is a Jara fic, but it seems mostly Miara. But never forget, THIS IS A JARA FIC!
Disclaimer: I don't own HOA and I also don't own "Someone like You" by Adele, but I wish I owned all of this.
SO NOW… ENJOY!
Dear Mick,
I heard that you're settled down
That you've found a girl
And you're married now
So, you and Joy are married now, right? I saw you during the reunion. I could see you're very happy.
I heard that you're dreams came true
Guess she gave you things I didn't give to you
You already have three children right? I've seen them in your pictures. The first two are looking a lot like their mom, but you youngest is like a little copy of you.
And you're now a professional athlete. I knew that one day you'd be able to achieve your dreams.
Old friend, why are you so shy?
Ain't like you to hold back or hide from the light
I just wanted to ask what was going on with you during the reunion? The only people you talked to were Fabian and Joy, of course. When I tried talking to you, you made up some excuse to run away.
I hate to turn up out of the blue, uninvited
But I couldn't stay away, I couldn't fight it
I had hoped you'd see my face and that you'd be reminded
That for me, it isn't over.
What did that mean? We're you angry with me even after all this time? I mean, I forgave you during graduation and it's been years since we broke up. I thought that we'd be friends because I'm sure that we'd be fine after all this time.
Never mind, I'll find someone like you
I wish nothing but the best for you, too
Don't forget me, I begged
I remember you said
Sometimes it lasts in love, but sometimes it hurts instead
Sometimes it lasts in love, but sometimes it hurts instead.
But, somehow, I feel okay if we're not as close as before. I mean, I have Jerome and I'm happy too. Funny, isn't it? Before, he was a pest that was constantly trying to ruin my life. Now, he's the love of my life.
Everyone else has partners too. Fabian and Nina, but we all expected that anyway. Amber and Alfie, that was quite predictable. Patricia and Mr. Winkler, or should I say, Jason, was not predictable at all. But they're just 5 years apart, no problem much. Though it will be quite hard to stop calling him Mr. Winkler, won't it?
You know how the time flies
Only yesterday was the time of our lives
We were born and raised in a summer haze
Bound by the surprise of our glory days
Moving on, do you still remember when we were together? That was so long ago. I still remember how everything seemed perfect then, but then we discovered more things we loved and those things made us even happier.
I hate to turn up out of the blue, uninvited
But I couldn't stay away, I couldn't fight it
I had hoped you'd seen my face and that you'd be reminded
That for me, it isn't over
Never mind, I'll find someone like you
I wish nothing but the best for you, too
Don't forget me, I begged, I remember you said
Sometimes it lasts in love, but sometimes it hurts instead, yeah
Sometimes, I can't help but thank you for breaking up with me. Crazy, as it seems, I feel like my whole life opened up to me and showed me every single thing I truly loved. But what I really wanted was for us to be friends.
Nothing compares, no worries or cares
Regret and mistakes they're memories made
Who would've known how bittersweet this would taste?
Sometimes, though, I remember when we still recently broke up, I remember my heart was torn, ripped and shredded into a million pieces. But I guess it's okay now. Life is good for both of us and there's no need to feel any guilt.
Never mind, I'll find someone like you
I wish nothing but the best for you
Don't forget me, I begged, I'll remember you said
Sometimes it lasts in love but sometimes it hurts instead
Never mind, I'll find someone like you
I wish nothing but the best for you, too
Don't forget me, I begged, I'll remember you said
Sometimes it lasts in love, but sometimes it hurts instead
Sometimes it lasts in love, but sometimes it hurts instead
I just wanted to clear the air between us, maybe make us friends again? I'd like that to happen, and maybe it could.
Love,
Mara
