A sequel because it was asked for so many times. The song is 'Happy Ending' by Mika. Look it up, its a great song.
This is the way you left me,
I'm not pretending.
No hope, no love, no glory,
No Happy Ending.
This is the way that we love,
Like it's forever.
Then live the rest of our life,
But not together.
It had been a little over two years since you had seen Alfred. You were both sad and disappointed by that fact. On one hand you wished that he would search for you but you knew that if he found you then it would just cause more heartbreak. Besides you and Arthur were happy together and you didn't want to ruin what you had with him.
Wake up in the morning, stumble on my life
Can't get no love without sacrifice
If anything should happen, I guess I wish you well
A little bit of heaven, but a little bit of hell
Alfred on the other hand was a complete wreck since you left. You were on his mind constantly, and he couldn't stop thinking about how he messed up. He had let the best thing that had ever happened to him go.
From the moment you disappeared, he had searched for you. Elizaveta had refused to give up anything about where she knew you were so he had to start from scratch. Hell at one point he had even considered going to the police and filing a missing persons report just to get some help. He couldn't find anything about where you had gone though.
This is the hardest story that I've ever told
No hope, no love, no glory
Happy endings gone forever more
I feel as if I'm wasted
And I'm wastin' every day
Alfred's best friend Tony told him to drop it and move on, but he just couldn't. He didn't want to live without you. Alfred felt like his chance at happiness had walked out of the door and he didn't want to lose it.
2 o'clock in the morning, something's on my mind
Can't get no rest; keep walkin' around
If I pretend that nothin' ever went wrong, I can get to my sleep
I can think that we just carried on
You were living your life, thinking that Alfred had moved on and forgot about you. You couldn't have been more wrong.
This is the hardest story that I've ever told
No hope, no love, no glory
Happy endings gone forever more
I feel as if I'm wasted
And I'm wastin' every day
Alfred had finally gotten a hint to where you were. Eventually it led him to a small town near the beach. He quickly found out where you lived and didn't hesitate to walk right up to your door. Unfortunately though, you weren't home. Right when he was going to leave and go back to town, he saw you walking up with someone else. He didn't know what possessed him, he should have just stayed where he was, but instead he hid in your bushes.
You walked up to your porch with Arthur, him walking you home after another wonderful date. He held your hand gently, like he was afraid that you would disappear if he let go. When you reached your stoop he let you go, but not before giving your hand one final squeeze.
"Thank you for walking me home, Arthur." You said with a smile.
"No problem love." Your emerald-eyed Brit smiled back at you, a light blush gracing his cheeks.
"Do you want to come inside for some tea?" You asked, already knowing his answer.
"Of course." You and Arthur went inside, oblivious to the American still hiding in your bushes.
For a while Alfred didn't move. He just sat there and silently cried. All this time that you had been gone, he had always imagines that you had been as miserable as he was. He honestly expected to come back and find you still heartbroken and ready to take him back if he apologized.
Instead here you were, happy and with someone else.
Alfred suddenly looked back on the past two years with a new light. He realized how stupid he had been to let you go, but it was his own fault. He couldn't change the past but he shouldn't mess up your future with this new guy just because he felt alone.
This is the way you left me,
I'm not pretending.
No hope, no love, no glory,
No Happy Ending.
This is the way that we love,
Like it's forever.
Then live the rest of our life,
But not together.
The next day you went and got your mail, still in your pjs. Inside was a single letter, not even stamped, but your name was written on the envelope.
Dear _,
It took me five minutes after you left me to realize what a jerk I had been. It took you leaving me to realize how much I love you. It took me two years to track you down, and it took seeing you with someone else to realize that I shouldn't mess up your new life because of my own mistakes. You might have left me, but it was me ignoring and not appreciating you for you to leave me. I know for me there will be no happy ending, but for you there will be. I love you _.
Love,
Alfred.
You let out a choked sob and clenched the note in your hands, feeling all your old feelings rise again. Tears started to pour down your cheeks as you realize that Alfred must have been here, and delivered it right in person.
Wiping away your tears you went back into your home, to your life, your romance, and your own happy ending. You knew that even without you Alfred will find his own happy ending.
This is the way you left me,
I'm not pretending.
No hope, no love, no glory,
No Happy Ending.
