Hey my galaxies! Lady A here and I'm back with another one-shot! This one isn't as sad as the last one, but it's kinda sad, sooo... here are some review replies?

To everyone who read the first chapter: Rest in Pieces

This one-shot is based on the song "Good Thing" By Sam Smith (tbh, i've been obsessed with him lately, idk why, but i think it's because I bought his album and i can't stop listening to it, rip me)

Now, I am not Sam Smith, therefore, I do not own the song Good Thing, nor Sam Smith, I just own the plot

Lyrics are like ~(insert lyric here)~ while normal writing is like (insert sentence here)

and if there's the word "him" in there like this: "Him" then the person's who's pov it is is talking about another guy, not himself

Now for the dedication, since no one could guess what the AU was, it was the Dead!Andromeda AU, and I shall be writing more for that soon!

This one-shot is dedicated to those in love with others that

can't or won't love them back in the same way

~I had a dream I was mugged outside your house~

~I had a dream in a panic you came running out~

~For a moment you were sure I'd die on you~

~For a moment I believed you loved me too~

He remembered the days when she hung out with him all the time, and he would've given her anything she wanted. When she was sad, he would come and comfort her, helping her get over her dreadful past that still haunted her.

Now, she just spent her time with him, her new boyfriend. Not him, her old best friend since about kindergarten. He still had that scar from when he saved her in sixth grade.

He remembered when she helped him, getting him out of his depressive moods with corny jokes, playing and recording games with him.

~But life is never like this, and you're never strong~

~Too much of a good thing won't be good for long~

He remembered when she lost her parents to a car crash, and how his parents were killed shortly after hers. They comforted each other, crying into each others shoulders. When she moved away, they talked everyday, despite the timezone difference. Then, she got a boyfriend, and his world came crashing down.

She talked about him everyday, how he had told a funny joke. She talked about how handsome he apparently was, though the two looked so alike that they could've been siblings. He remembered how she told him about one of her rare panic attacks, how her memories suddenly came flooding back, and she started to hyperventilate. Normally, he was there to help her, but instead, he had helped her.

~Although you made my heart sing, to stay with you would be wrong~

~Too much of a good thing won't be good anymore~

As much as he hated to say it, he was in love with her, but knew she could never love him back. When he took her to prom, he was jealous and angry. Jealous because he should've been there to take her, to have her kiss him, not him. He should've been there to see her in the dress, to dance with her, to see her eyes sparkle in the lights as she looked around.

He nearly bought an airplane ticket, but stopped when she told him to stop overreacting.

~Watch where I tread before I fall~

~We'd talk maybe 20 times a day~

~And still I never say what I want to say~

The two had talked basically everyday, the same time, no matter what was happening. Once and while, it would've happened a little later because she was playing soccer, an important thing to her. One of her last connections to her mother, who had played when she was younger. He was always patient, no matter how late, he always waited for her.

He just wanted to hear her voice, it calmed him down if he were ever angry.

He was tempted to tell her of his feelings, so many times, but the courage came and fled,, and he never told her. There was the one time he'd kissed her, when she had moved back to the West. He kissed her on the day she hung out with her sister him, and himself.

He remembered the shocked look on her face when he kissed her. How he had just ran away after, and collapsed in his car.

~I thought I wouldn't need to~

~I guess I read you wrong~

He thought she'd figure it out, but she hadn't and crushed his heart without knowing it. When he found out she had a new boyfriend, he was destroyed once again.

Why couldn't she see that he was here? He'd always been here for her with open arms. They'd been through so much together, yet she still couldn't see he loved her. That he had loved her since middle school.

~Too much of a good thing won't be good for long~

~Although you made my heart sing, to stay with you would be wrong~

It was only now, that he realized that he would be better off without her. She only loved him like a brother, though didn't seem that was it. It didn't seem like a platonic relationship in his mind, but in hers, it was. He knew that he couldn't leave her though. She might get her heart broken again, and needed a shoulder to cry on. Though she did have friends, she didn't seem to talk to them as much. She only talked to her new best friend, and him.

~Too much of a good thing won't be good anymore~

~Watch where I tread before I fall~

~You refuse to see this, don't see it anymore~

He remembered all the times he cheered her up, and when she cheered him up. They were always so happy together, and he thought she knew that he was in love with he'd always sigh at her blindness, and at times, trying to make it obvious. But she never picked it up.

~I have made the decision not to answer your calls~

~'Cause I put everything out there and I got nothing at all~

~Too much of a good thing isn't good and you know~

Now, he was done trying to show his love. No matter what happened or will happen, he knew he shouldn't be talking to her, but she was like a drug. If you barely knew her, she would always be happy, sarcastic, funny, and beautiful, making you want more. But, if you dug a little deeper, her true colors would show, and she would hide away from you, terrified of what you would think of her.

He was done. When she actually called him, he always ignored it, not picking it up, not even touching the phone. He just sat there, continuing speaking to whom he was. Like nothing had ever happened.

But he knew, deep in his heart and mind, that he still loved her, and that she would need him once more.

~I watch where I walk before I fall~

And he would help her.

~Before I fall~

Now, my galaxies, I hope you enjoyed this one-shot and if you did then be sure to tell me in the reviews! It really inspires me when people say they like my one-shots!

Hopefully, the next one-shot I write won't be as sad as this one and the previous, and it should be happier! (mehbeh a little #LadySkydromeda proposal? hmmmmmmmm?)

Be sure to follow and favorite this story so you know when I update this next! (lel, never thought I had to write that! cx )

If you can correctly guess from who's (somewhat) POV it is, (though it's a little obvious for me) then the next one-shot will be dedicated to you!

I'll see you all later!

Peace out!
