As I walked into the terrace, I felt butterflies fill my stomach the moment the wind picked up around me. I watched him smile at me and pick up his guitar when I leaned against the terrace. I couldn't help but feel my smile grow wider when he started to play. It had been two weeks now, that he promised to finish my song, and everyday he made me fall more and more in love with him. In the beginning we talked more than I have ever talked to anyone, now no words needed to be said as the melody flooded into my ears and stayed engraved in my memory. He promised me he would have written the entire song today, and that he would take me somewhere else to show me it. My heart started racing once he put his guitar down to say something.
"You want to meet me downstairs?" He asked running a hand through his hair. I smiled once he looked at me and felt my stomach flutter. I nodded slightly as he looked at me once again then walked inside. I did the same and walked down stairs to meet him outside of the sub station. I looked around wanting him to already be standing there. I looked around once more but he didn't show. I furrowed my eyebrows and sat on front steps of the shop. I sighed and put my head in my hands when I noticed ten minutes had already past. As I was about to stand up and walk back inside I heard a guitar strum softly. I turned quickly and I never felt myself smile so hard. There he stood smiling at me playing his guitar. People around us stopped to listen, but I only kept my eyes on Nate.
"Young hearts, I believe that we are not far from becoming who we truly are love is on its way." He paused for a while and looked me straight in the eyes as he sang the next verse. "Dreamers, you see everything in color while the world is getting darker love is in its way." I turned around when I heard the shop's door open and noticed everyone inside, including my family came out to see what was going on. I thought Nate would stop playing the song but he just started to sing louder. "So hold on another day cause love is its way you'll find its gonna be ok cause love is on its way it's alright you'll find a brighter day cause love is on its way." My mom came up from behind me and wrapped an arm over my shoulder, I looked up and smiled at her. "Leaders, show us how to love each other it could help us to recover love is on its way." He started walking closer to me until he was standing about two feet away from me as he sang the next line. "Lonely, I believe that you'll find me and together we will truly see love is on its way." He gave me a wide smile before he entered the chorus. "So hold on another day cause love is its way you'll find its gonna be ok cause love is on its way its alright you'll find a brighter day cause love is on its way hold on another day cause love is its way you'll find its gonna be ok cause love is on its way its alright you'll find a brighter day cause love is on its way cause love is on its way cause love is on its way"He ended on a soft note looking right at me. The crowd went wild with applause, but I forgot they were all there. All I could focus on was Nate, and they way he sang to me.
He turned to me waiting for a response, but I was so speechless. All I could do was smile and giggle. I looked down at my feet then back up again, noticing the crowd was slowly going away. When they were all gone I looked back at him and smiled wide. "It was beautiful. Thank you so much."
"You're welcome. I really wanted it to be special, you know?" He nudged me when he said this. I blushed slightly and nodded. "And I'm glad you were the first person I preformed it for." He grinned at me.
I felt so weak at the knees that all I could do was giggle. "I'm glad I was, too. Are you hungry?" I turned a bit to indicate that I was hungry, because I was but I wanted to be with Nate.
He laughed slightly and tilted his head towards the city and smiled at me. "I'm kind of in the mood for coffee. You want to get some starbucks then come back here for a sand-which?" I nodded gently then grinned from ear to ear. He grabbed my hand and headed towards the street. I looked down at our hands for a second and I could not believe I was here with him going somewhere other than our terraces. I looked back up to find him looking down at me also. I smiled wide and turned my head in front of us and kept walking.
My whole world was crushed when I saw a beautiful brunette waving towards us. She stood at the entrance of the coffee shop smiling pretty big. I turned towards Nate and noticed he too was smiling at her. In fact, he was smiling so hard if I wouldn't have known any better I would have thought he won the lottery. As he let go of my hand softly, tears began to well up in my eyes. When I didn't feel his hand anymore I looked down at my hand, and felt such an empty void. I was so close to having my happily ever after and now it was gone, right before my very own eyes. And once again, it's my own fault; he never gave me anything to believe that he felt the same way I had to make it up myself.
He slightly jogged towards her and once he reached her, he hugged her so tight then spun her around. She giggled slightly and placed a small kiss on his lips. He turned towards me and said something I couldn't hear. Her smile slowly vanished then reappeared when they walked their way towards me. She instantly intertwined her fingers with his once they were about five feet away from me. Nate gave me a smile, one that'll never forget because that smile at that moment, shattered my already broken heart into a million little pieces.
"Alex, this is Miley." He introduced us with a smile. I tried to force a friendly smile on my lips, but sometimes when you're too weak it tends to show. Miley tilted her head then whispered something in his ear that made him smile. I turned around while they were having a 'moment' just looking at them made me feel uncomfortable and embarrassed to have wished that I were Miley at that moment. I fluttered my eyes to the ground clutching at my heart. I never felt so pained in my life, and I did not like that feeling. What I would give to just be invisible at that moment. I looked back to find them both staring at me waiting for a response. I was so busy feeling sorry for myself that I forgot to say anything.
"Hi." I whispered than cleared my throat, painfully. "Nice to meet you." I gave her a small smile then looked back at Nate who gave me a strange look. The kind of look that meant he felt sorry for me. I tried to ignore it, but it was already too late, it was engraved in my memory now.
"So you're the famous Alex, Natey has been writing the song for." She said it with a forced tone. I could tell she was not happy that her boyfriend was writing a song for someone else. I couldn't help but smile on the inside. "He's told me so much about you." She glared at me for a second but caught Nate looking at her, then forced a fake friendly smile. I understood if my boyfriend wrote a song for another girl I would be angry too. "You know, if I went through all that heartbreak you did I'd be vulnerable also and fall for the next guy who says anything sweet to me too." My mouth was gaped open when she lashed that out on me. I looked at Nate unbelievingly, and as he opened his mouth to say something I walked away. I couldn't believe I trusted him; I actually believed he would keep my secrets. But, probably after I told him everything he called his girlfriend to tell her all about this girl who he feels sorry for. I was nothing but a charity case to him.
As I stepped on the steps in front of the sub-station I turned around hopeful, just waiting for him to come running. I didn't even know why but I strongly hoped he would come chasing after me. But even the part of me who wants to believe everything, knew it was too stupid to get my hopes up.
