Repairing the Past

Chapter Three: A Break

Normal POV~

Misty ran up to the figure as soon she heard the voice and gave him a hug. It has been so long since she last seen her boyfriend, Rudy Trovitan. He had been on tour with Barry for about three months and when he got back he had to go to the recording studio while Barry ditched.

"So how was your tour?" she inquired after letting go.

"Italy was fine but I did miss you," he replied, giving her a kiss on the cheek. "And I got you something from there too."

He reached into his pockets and took a blue box out. He opened it and Misty saw a beautiful bracelet. It was silver chained with icy blue snowflakes as a décor. "It's so beautiful…" Misty whispered to herself as she traced each snowflake with her eyes.

"It made me think about you so I decided to buy it," he informed, wrapping it around her wrist and kissing her hand when he put it on.

Misty smiled and gave him a kiss. "Thank you, Rudy. You're the best."

The rest of Heartbeat along with Roxanne all watched as the two couples talked. Then Dawn had an idea. "I know! Since all our boyfriends are back, let's take a break tomorrow and go out!" she suggested excitingly.

"We can't; there's still Leaf," May said.

Realization hit Dawn as she looked down, ashamed that she had forgotten that one of her best friend was still single. "Oh God, Leaf, I'm so sorry. I completely forgot."

The brunette shook her head. "It's okay. You guys can go. I'll just hang around the house and walking around town."

"Are you sure? I can call Danny to tag along if you want," Rudy offered.

Leaf smiled as she she rejected the idea. "It's fine. You guys go and have fun. Besides, I think I need a little break myself so I'll just relax. Okay?"

While the girls each had a loving boyfriend, Leaf was usually alone. She had dated other guys before but they were either dating her for the fame or they cheated on her or they just weren't the one for her. The girls all knew that she had loved Gary with all her heart and knew that no one else can replace him in her heart. She had tried dozens of time but it never worked so Leaf had given up about forgetting him. She does sometimes try to date other guys but whenever they told her they loved her, she would break up with them because she can't get herself to say it back. Only the girls, Roxanne, and Danny know about this. No one else.

"Well if you really want us to…" Dawn said hesitantly.

Leaf nodded. "You three deserve the break. You guys did an awesome job today at the mall."

The girls gave Leaf a hug. "Well, I think we should all go take a shower, eat and then get a good night sleep," May planned after they released each other from the hug.

"Agreed," the others agreed.

After that, Rudy bid his farewell while the girls followed their plans.

Next Day~

Leaf woke up looking at the picture on her bedside table. It was a picture of her with Gary together holding each other and looking at the camera smiling. Since she didn't want tears to come out, she gently placed the frame facing down so she wouldn't have to see it. Once she did so, she got out of bed and went to the bathroom to prepare for the day.

When Leaf was done, she heard a knock on the door. "Leaf, you awake yet?" Misty asked.

Leaf went to answer the door. "Yeah, just finished washing up."

"Well, it's time to eat breakfast. I made some chocolate chip pancakes today. Better hurry or May will finish your share," she joked.

Leaf giggled. "Alright. I'll be down after I change."

"Hurry up then, 'k?"

"Got it."

Leaf went in her closet and stared at her clothes as she decided on her outfit. She had planned to go out to the park later in the day so she decided to wear something that would make her look different. Something that wasn't too flashy. Leaf started to fumble around with her clothes and finally decided on a pair of white short shorts that reached mid-thigh, a seafoam green v-neck, and white flat sandals. It looked casual enough so Leaf went out her closet and went downstairs for breakfast.

Once Leaf arrived downstairs, her nose met with the scent of chocolate chip pancakes and she made her way into the kitchen and found everyone else enjoying their breakfast. "Roxanne's not coming today?" she inquired curiously as she took a seat next to May.

Dawn looked up from her pink cased iPhone. "Nope. Since we're having a break today, she decided to have a day-off herself and went out with Brawly."

"Oh… Anyway, where are you guys heading out to with your beloved?" Leaf asked teasing them in the last part.

May perked from her pancakes. "Brendan and I have decided to go to the Getty's Museum to look at the flowers." She sighed in content as she took a sip of her orange juice. "I'm so excited."

"Barry and I are going shopping! Actually, I'm doing the shopping while he carries the bags," Dawn answered excitingly as she took a sip of orange juice.

The girls sweat dropped. "Didn't we shop just yesterday?" Misty asked.

Dawn nodded. "Yeah, but we didn't buy much things and when I looked at my closet today I noticed there were barely concert outfits so I need to buy some," she explained.

"Okay then… Well Rudy and I are just going to the aquarium today," Misty said. "What about you, Leaf?"

"Well I'm just going to take a stroll at the park. Don't worry; I'll make myself look different. I mean I look kind of different right?" she asked showing the girls her outfit.

"Yeah, you are going to fix your hair though, right? Because I think a lot of people can recognize that hair style anywhere," Dawn examined.

"Of course I'm fixing my hair. Anyway, when are you guys leaving?"

May, Dawn, and Misty looked at the clock before them. It read ten-thirty. "We're leaving in half an hour. Why?" May asked.

"Just wondering. Well I'm going to go fix my hair and add other things to look different. Just make sure to lock the door when you leave," Leaf said.

"Yes, mother," Dawn responded back sarcastically.

"And to think Misty was supposed to be the mother around here," May giggled.

Leaf and Misty rolled their eyes. "Haha, very funny," they said in unison

The brunette went up to her room and looked at the mirror. She decided to tie her hair up to a high pony tail making sure to leave some of her bangs down. She thought about putting on some make-up but decided to just put on some mascara. When she was done, it was already about eleven-thirty. 'They must have left already,' she thought.

Leaf grabbed a white cardigan from her closet and picked up her white messenger bag. Once Leaf locked the door she made sure no one saw her and when no one was around, she quickly left the place making sure the gate was locked and was on her way to the park.


At the Park~

Leaf's POV

I arrived at the park and decided to walk around reminiscing my past. It's not that I liked it. It was just that this park brought back many memories from my past. I remembered this was the place that Gary asked me out at. This was the place we had our laughs, where we spent most of our time at. Those were the days. I was so lost in my own mind; I didn't realize tears were coming from my eyes, so I quickly pushed away those thoughts. Unfortunately, I didn't pay attention to where I was heading and ended up bumping into someone causing me to fall.

"Sorry about that," I mumbled. I didn't even want to look up, knowing if I did, they might recognize me.

I heard a snort. "That's right. You better be sorry," she sneered.

I looked up and saw them. One was a guy with auburn spiky hair who was holding hands with a blonde that had her hair curled. I'm pretty sure she was the one who snorted at me. I saw the spiky hair guy frown at her then looked at me with concern in his eyes. "Are you okay?" he asked cautiously. I swear I heard that voice before. And that hair…

I nodded quickly and helped myself up. "Yeah, don't worry about it," I told him hastily.

Then, that's when our eyes met. My jade green eyes meeting his forest green eyes. It felt as if we were the only ones and no one else was around us. His girlfriend though seemed to notice and cut in. "Shouldn't you be on your way now?" she asked rudely.

We broke away from our trance and I did my best not to glare at her. "Whatever," I murmured.

When I brushed passed them, I heard something that made my face pale. "C'mon Gary. Let's get some lunch," she said.

'It can't be…'

There's no way that could be him. No, it's already been four years. He can't be here. He's supposed to be gone somewhere else. I didn't know how long I was out, but as soon as I snapped back to reality, I took my phone out at called Danny.

"Hello."

I smiled. His voice always seemed to calm me down when I was ever in a panic. "Hey, Danny."

"Hey there, Leaf."

"Hey, are you at home right now?" I asked.

"Yeah, why?"

"Is it aright if I come over? I need someone to tale to right now," I told him.

"Yeah sure. Do you need me to pick you up or something?"

"It's fine. I'll walk there."

"You sure? It's pretty far…" He sounded unsure about it.

"Don't worry about it. I'm at the park that's right down the lane."

We talked for a while then we hung up. I started making my way down to his house remembering the very first time I met him. I remember that it was a week after I broke up with Gary. He comforted me and then we became really close. It wasn't long until we started dating. The reason for the break up was because when he told me he loved me, I couldn't get myself to tell him that and decided to just break up with him and stayed as friends. I told him everything about Gary and he told me he would be there whenever I needed him. He was a really sweet guy.

After about twenty minutes of walking, I got to his house and rang the doorbell. I was met with a 5'8 guy with black spiky hair and hazel brown eyes. He was wearing a pair of blue cargo shorts with a white t-shirt on top and white and blue sneakers. "Hey there, Leaf," he greeted.

I gave him a hug. "Thank god you're home. I really need someone to talk to," I sighed.

"Well, come on in and tell me your problem." He moved and opened the door wider for me to enter.

I stepped in and took a seat at one of the couches. He gave me a cup of water and took a seat across from me on one the one seat couches. "So what's wrong?" he asked worryingly.

My head dropped and I was now looking at the floor. "… I saw him,' I whispered.

He immediately got what I meant and frowned. "What do you mean you saw him?" he questioned.

I bit my bottom lip. "I bumped into him at the park and well… I didn't recognize him at first but when his girlfriend called his name…" I trailed off. I didn't know what else to say.

"It could have been another Gary," he reasoned with a frown.

"But it didn't explain how his hair and eyes is the same thing. I mean, his hair was auburn and spiky and those eyes… and the voice…"My voice dropped to mere whisper with my head still down and my eyes staring at the floor.

"You miss him, don't you?" he asked.

My head shot up. "Of course not! He was the one who cheated on me and said he could easily replace me… There is no way I would ever miss someone like him." I fought back some tears.

"Leaf…" He got up from his seat and sat by my side, "it's okay if you miss him. You can admit it," he said calmly. I shook my head. He sighed. "You know, the more you keep these feelings locked, the more you're going to hurt," he advised. He always went wise guy on me.

"It doesn't even matter anymore. He probably forgot all about me. I mean he has a girlfriend who is drop dead gorgeous and they look like a perfect couple…" I sobbed as I thought back to this afternoon after the encounter with them.

Danny put an arm around my shoulders and patted me there. "You're just over thinking things. How about I drive you home and you can relax," he offered.

I thought for a while and decided to just take up on his offer. He went to get his car keys while I waited downstairs and when he was done, we went outside. I sat in the front seat of his Porsche and we were soon off to get to my house.

When I got home, I said he could go home but he insisted to stay over to make sure I relax. Typical Danny. Looking after people even though they don't need it. Since I couldn't argue with him, I decided to just let him stay over till the girls return from their little date. We decided to watch a movie in the living room. It took a while, but we decided on a chick flick. Halfway through the movie, I felt drowsy and my eyelids slowly closed and I was asleep.

Normal POV:

When the movie was over, May, Misty and Dawn came back.

"What happened to Leaf?" Misty questioned after seeing a sleeping Leaf on the couch.

Danny sighed and told them what happened. When he was finished, they were left speechless. "Leaf actually saw him?" May asked quietly.

Danny nodded. "Yeah. She needed to talk to someone so she came to me. It's alright now, I guess. I think I should get going now."

Danny left leaving the three girls sitting there thinking. "Do you think it was really him though?" Dawn asked.

May and Misty shrugged. "Let's just hope not. It's just going to bring bad memories back to Leaf and we don't want her to get hurt again."


So how was is? Sorry it was short, but it was okay right? Anyway, since its winter break, I'll have a lot of time to update so look forward to them! I am always excited to type a new chapter. Well, leave a review to tell me how it was and maybe even some suggestions if you have some! I love to read your opinions.
