With Time, We Fall
Chapter Thirty Two

Addison

I went home. Layed on my bed. Cried. 
It's what he wanted, I kept reminding myself.
It's what is best for Troy.
But it still hurt.
Even though I thought my last boyfriend,
of many years ago,
was the love of my life,
I was wrong. 
It's was Troy. 
It is Troy.
I curled up into a ball on my bed, tucked under all my blankets, cried. 
Anthony came into my room, didn't say anything, just wrapped his arms around me and held me.
And we stayed like that for a while.
He stood up and left the room, told me he was getting a drink of water. 
When he came back he told me someone wanted to see me.
"I don't want to see anyone. Even Jenna, tell her sorry."
"I would," Anthony said "If it was Jenna who was waiting in the hallway."
Troy stepped into my room, Anthony closed the door. 
"After you left, no. Before that...the moment after, I said that you're not want I want I knew I was wrong. Lying to you, and myself. But I let you walk away. And I shouldn't have, not again. What I'm trying to say, or to ask is that you'll forgive me for playing this stupid mind games"
We stood looking at each other for a few moments, 
"Troy Porter, who would I be to let you break up with me?"
He smiled. Kissed me.
Everything was right again. 
It would stay that way.
I knew it would.
"It's been a long road Addison Moore. Want to keep going?"

************

Troy came back to school, no one asked why he was gone, and no one knew. 
We walked through the hall like no one else was there, his arm around my shoulders,
taking in each day one at a time.
Every now and then we'd think of what the future held for us.
But for now we were us.
The best we'd ever be,
The most Addison I'd ever be.
The most Troy he'd ever be.
The most us we'd ever be.

And if I learned anything from this year, it would be the greatest lesson I learned.
That a few friends of mine taught me.
 It's that no matter how hard you try to stop it, 
With time,
you will fall in love.



The End.
