The Best Days of Your Life (Reid Garwin One-Shot)

I do not own the Covenant in any way.

Reid Garwin. My ex-boyfriend and best friend. It started out so innocent. I told him he shouldn't have, but he would hear nothing of it...so I walked out and never looked back.

'Cus I'll be there, in the back of your mind
From the day we met 'til you were making me cry
And it's just too bad, you've already had the best days
The best days of your life

I've noticed the looks he gives me in literature. The typical, 'I'm so sorry. Please take me back', look. I would roll my eyes and go back to flirting with Tyler .Tyler was sweet. Really sweet. He told me I looked pretty everyday and that he loved the ribbons in my hair. I would blush and say thank you.

Ain't it a shame?
A shame that every time you hear my name
Brought up in a casual conversation
You can't think ...straight

I would pass by girls that were talking about Reid. One day I heard that every time Tyler mentioned me Reid would go silent and space out. Probably remembering,' us'. Oh wait. There is no, 'us', anymore. I heard he's going out with another girl. I wasn't jealous. Okay, I was, but I would never say that out loud.

And ain't it sad?

You can forget about what we had
Take a look at her and do you like what you see?
Or do you wish it was me

I knew she wasn't a replacement for me. She was just a distraction from me. He wasn't happy, but then again, neither was I.

'Cus I'll be there, in the back of your mind
From the day we met to the very last night
And it's just too bad, you've already had the best days
The best days of your life

I knew he thought about me all day, every day. I remembered our last night together. It was the night of the fall fest and Caleb's ascension. We had gotten into a huge fight. It was all over school the next day. Everyone congratulated me on breaking the playboy Reid Garwin's heart, but alone I would cry my heart and soul out for Reid. The truth is I still love him.

And does she know?
Know about the times you used to hold me
Wrapped me in your arms and how you told me
I'd be... the only one

Did he tell her? He told me I'd be the only one he ever loved. Now that we were apart, I believed him. I got rid of all his stuff and pictures. Everything, except the locket around my neck that Reid had given me. I still loved Reid so much. I was truly, madly, and deeply in love with Reid Garwin.

I heard about
Yeah, someone told me once, when you were out
She went a little crazy ran her mouth about me
Ain't jealousy funny?

"Hey Lily!", my friend Claire said.

"What?", I asked her.

"Did you hear Reid slapped his girl?", she asked.

"No! Why?", I asked her.

Reid would never hit a girl, unless given a reason.

"Apparently, they were out on a date at Nikki's and she started bad mouthing you and he snapped", she said, "I think he still loves you".

"He does not!", I said slamming my locker and walking off. 'HE DOES STILL LOVE ME!', I thought to myself blushing.

'Cus I'll be there, in the back of your mind
From the day we met to the very last night
And it's just too bad, you've already had the best days
The best days of your life
...with me was a fairytale love
I was head-over-heels 'til you threw away "us"
And it's just too bad you've, already had the best days
The best days of your life

I had thought that Reid was my prince charming, but maybe I needed to give him time to realize his mistake. Prince charming would have to grow up, before I took him back.

I heard you're gonna get married
Have a nice little family
Live out my dreams with someone new

"Hey Lily!", Claire yelled.

"What?", I asked.

"She's pregnant", she said.

"Oh really?", I asked weakly.

"Yeah, everyone said she told him that to trap him in a marriage", she said, "But no one really knows if she really is pregnant".

I was supposed to have Reid's child. "Well, I guess that proves that men don't think with their heads. Well, at least not the ones on their necks", I said.

Claire just laughed.

But, I've been told that a cheater
Is always a cheater
I've got my pride, and she's got you...

I still couldn't believe that Reid had cheated on me with her and now she was pregnant, supposedly. I never wanted to take him back, but I wanted Reid. He was like a drug to me. I needed Reid back and I knew he needed me back too.

'Cus I'll be there, in the back of your mind
From the day we met 'til you were making me cry
And it's just too bad, you've already had the best days
The best days of your life...
Of your life
Oh, oh, yeah
You're gonna think of me
You're gonna think of me in your liiiiiiiiiiiife
Oh, oh, yeah
It's a shame, it's a shame...It's a shame

Reid walked up me during swim practice.

"What do you want Garwin?", I asked meanly.

"Please Lily, just listen", he pleaded.

"Just shut-up and leave me alone", I told him.

"I know you still feel something for me. I can sense it", he said.

"Where? In the head on your neck or somewhere else?", I asked him.

"Do you want me to beg?", he yelled.

"Maybe", I said, "Or you walk away and marry the girl you got pregnant!"

"I told you I'm sorry!", he yelled, "What more do you want!"

"I want to marry you!", I yelled through tears, "I want to have your children!"

"Lily! Please listen to me! I'm sorry! I still love you!", he said getting down on his knees, "Please! I've never wanted someone more than you!"

"Oh get up, you pathetic boy", I told him.

He stood up and said, "Please take me back!"

I walked towards him pushing him in the pool.

He came up and I glared down at him. "Okay, I deserved that", he said.

My look softened and I sat on the edge on the pool. "No, you deserve this", I whispered. I leaned down and kissed him.

He pulled me in the water with him and slowly kissed back. He pulled away and said, "I love you Lily Elizabeth".

"And I you Reid Garwin", I told him. I could tell we were in for more best days of our lives.
