New HoA Fabina story, in honor of the announcement of the date of the new season and the holiday season. Happy Hanukah to my fellow Jews and Merry Christmas to everyone else!
For my Teddy, my Melissa, my sunshine. When I'm disappointed in you, it's out of love only.
Part One
Nina's PoV
"If I am to be missed, tell me then."
I flounced my hair. I crinkled my nose. Bad hair day. I smacked my Trident Cinnamon gum and run my brush through my dirty blonde locks again.
"I'm so sorry for not being what you expected."
I walked out of the bathroom, heels echoing down the empty hallway. I smoothed down my off-white and black dress. The top was solid black which went into a patterned off-white and black pencil skirt. I grabbed my purse, peacoat, and scarf.
"I guess I had changed. It didn't have to be this way."
I stood in line at the Starbucks outside my apartment building. I tapped my foot as I checked through my emails on my iPhone. Carrie was working behind the counter so she waved to me. I smiled and waved back.
"I guess it's for the best. I'm going back to New York, even if Gran's not there."
When it was my turn to order, I stepped up to where Terrence was running the register.
"The usual?" he asked and I nodded. "Neens's usual!" A pang rang through my heart. He used to call me Neens. She called me Neens. They all called me Neens. Now, only two know where I actually am.
"I'll find my way. I'm so sorry all of you, for not being who you wanted. I'm so, so sorry." I had walked away, bags in tow. They didn't know the real reason why I was leaving, the real reason why. If I am to be missed, they never told me.
My phone buzzed as I bit into my pumpkin scone. I grabbed my phone and pressed answer.
"Before you ask Joy, Myla is fine."
"What makes you think I was gonna ask?" My one true friend chirped in her crisp English accent too high and whiny for me in the morning.
"Because you always do, even before you ask how I am."
"Neens, that isn't true… ok, maybe it is." She giggled. "But she's so cute! She has your green eyes and his hair… oops. Sorry, forgot the promise."
"You owe me one now."
"Dang it. Oh well, I'll set a date from the mall trip."
"Good, I need new shoes."
"You always need new shoes."
"A, I'm a girl, of course I do, and B, so do you."
"Yeah, I guess that's true." We both giggled and I took a sip of my hot coffee.
"So, you going to school now?"
"Yeah, my class starts soon. Say hi to Wulf for me, will ya?" Wulf was Joy's husky, and he had the cutest blue eyes ever.
"Will do. See you soon, I'll message you the date."
"Kay." I pushed the end button and pulled down my fingerless gloves. I slid on my peacoat and walked out the door, sipping my coffee. I stared around at the bustling streets, the people talking with their all-too-familiar accents, and I was reminded why I had made the right choice.
London is my true home.
But what has changed? Why'd she leave? Who is Myla? Who else knows where she really is?
And why the heck is it called if I am missed anyways? (besides it being the first words in the fanfic)
I kinda don't know myself. But hey, whatever. Anyways, review please. :) You'll get a coooooooookie!
