y/n pov

today was my birthday. i just turned 21. nobody at my job knows though, i work at a small coffee shop in new york city. it's really gorgeous and i love it. i try to be extra nice to everyone and they always tip well. when i left i moved to around a lot, mostly lived out of my car. about a year ago i came to new york to look for rodrick. i followed his instagram but with his 296k follow count he hadn't noticed. his band was doing really well. they had shows in new york but were always sold out. i really wanted to see him and explain what happened but i felt like he hated me. it's seven in the morning and i start work in 20 minutes. i put on a black dress and a headband and my apron. i walked downstairs and drove to my job. i opened up and walked in. i got things ready and by 8 business was booming. people came in with their friends and families loving my coffee. i loved serving them.

the bell on the door sounded and i turned to look at the doorway. i was stunned when i saw who stood at the counter. his eyes were wide with confusion. "r-rodrick?" my eyes watered and i stepped closer . "y/n?" i smiled lightly "hi, how are you?" he kept an angry glare. "cut the shit, why'd you ghost me?" i looked at my arms and showed him the scars, some even recent ones. "h..holy shit y/n are you okay?" he grabbed my hand and i nodded "i'm sorry.. i hated myself and i missed you too much. i couldn't do the long distance anymore and i've been trying to find you ever since i-" he cut me off and smiled. "y/n i don't know what to say.. you broke my heart and i changed" i nodded "i'm sorry rodrick. i couldn't deal with the stress of losing my mother and you being gone." he put his hand on mine "it's okay. when do you get off?" i smiled big "three" he nodded and took a napkin and the pen in my other hand. he wrote his phone number down and handed it to me. "call me, i'll pick you up" i nodded "so what can i get for you?"

i called rodrick and he answered immediately "hey it's y/n" "hey i'll be there in five" i smiled "o-okay! see you soon.." i hung up and shoved my phone into my pocket. i clocked out and grabbed my purse. i walked outside and looked around. i waited for ten minutes and then checked my phone. i called him "rodrick where are you?" i heard the car through the phone "traffic, i'm sorry i'm gonna be there soon. i see you now" i hung up and saw him pull up. i hopped in the car beside him and buckled my seatbelt. "hey" he smiled at me and started to drive "hey y/n" "so where are we going?" he chuckled "my house" i looked over at him. "you have a house?" he laughed "yeah? it's that crazy to you?" i shrugged "i live in an apartment with a roommate" he showed no reaction. "you like living with someone?" i shrugged "not really. we're friends but he's never really home so it's very lonely." he nodded.

"my house is kinda big, my family lives with me. manny got so big. he's nine now. greg doesn't live with me, he got heart broken over god knows who and lives about ten minutes from me. we see him sometimes but not often" my face got red. i knew who broke his heart. "can i see him? i haven't since the day i left." he nodded "yeah we can pick him up." we drove about fifteen minutes and had small talk until we got to a small cute house. "you can go get him, i'll wait." i smiled and got out. i walked up to the door and took a deep breath. i knocked and waited until the door opened. greg stood in shock, "y/n?" i smiled. "hey greggy" he grabbed me and held me and i hugged back. "y/n i missed you i was so worried about you oh my god" i giggled and grew warm inside. "i missed you greg. so much" "please don't ever leave me again" 

i nodded and pulled back. "we need to go somewhere" he nodded and we got into the car. "so you found her huh rodrick?" he nodded and we drove to his house. as we pulled in a large three story house came into view. "wow this is-is gorgeous!" they laughed at my shock. "like seriously dudes, so pretty." we got to the garage and i got out. when we walked to the door susan greeted us. she was shocked to see me and hugged me tightly. "y/n i missed you! frank! manny! come down here!" they walked up and frank hugged me. "hey sweetheart!" i hugged back "hey frank" then i looked at manny. "hey kiddo, remember me?" he nodded and smiled a little and i hugged him. "you're so big now! and handsome" he blushed and i giggled.

we walked in and i looked around. there were pictures of the family on the walls of rooms and some even had me in them. it made me happy that they'd remembered me so well. i heard a door open and looked over, it was rodrick. "so y/n do you uh- have a boyfriend?" i shook my head. "no, uh- i haven't dated anyone since you. i wanted to eventually come back and i had hoped you'd take me back" he smiled and blushed "well technically we never broke up so i guess that means we're dating still." i smiled and giggled. he walked over and took my hands. "i still love you y/n. i've never given up on finding you. you're my world, i love you endlessly and i never want to lose you again." i hugged him "you won't rodrick. i can't live without you. it's been so hard, i need you"

we walked to the dining room and ate as a family. we had small talk and then everyone looked at me and susan spoke "so y/n, we talked with rodrick and we think you should move in." i smiled "oh that would be wonderful but i have an apartment and-" frank cut me off "we want you here, we want you back in the family sweetheart." i smiled "can i have the night to think about it?" i looked at rodrick and he nodded with a smirk. we finished dinner and i went upstairs and looked around. i found greg's room and walked in. i looked around and saw a picture of me and greg on our first day of high school on his desk. i picked it up and a tear ran down my face. i was happy again. as happy as this day was for me, i missed greg more than even rodrick. i loved rodrick but greg was my best friend. he'd always have my back.

 i heard the door open and turned around quickly "snooping in my room?" i laughed nervously. "yeah sorry i didn't mean to be nosey i just-" he laughed "it's fine. whacha holding?" i put the picture down. "the picture of us on our first day of high school. it was such a fun day" he laughed "yeah it was. i missed you y/n" i smiled "rodrick said someone broke your heart. who?" he shrugged "i uh don't wanna talk about it." i nodded "maybe another time?" he smiled "yeah definitely." i giggled and walked out of his room. i walked down the hall into rodricks room. it was so his style. band posters and his drums of course. definitely rodricks room. i sat on his bed and laid back. it was so soft and comfy. i kicked my shoes off and snuggled into the bed. "holy shit this is like heaven." 

"isn't it?" i looked up and saw rodrick in the doorway. he walked in and closed the door. i laughed and sat up. "yeah it's comfy" we laughed and he sat down. "please move in. i love you" i smiled and nodded "okay okay fine. but you're driving me to work. i don't have a car and it's too far to walk especially in the winter." he nodded "oh i have something for you!" i raised an eyebrow "why?" he laughed "well it is your birthday isn't it?" my eyes went wide "you remembered?" he nodded. "of course gorgeous. he pulled out a small box and got down on one knee. holy shi- "y/n y/ln, will you make me the happiest man on this goddamn earth and marry me already?" my eyes watered and i smiled "rodrick i-" tears gently strolled down my cheeks as i pulled him into a kiss. i nodded and he laughed through the kiss, making me giggle. when he pulled away, he slipped the ring on my finger and grabbed me. he lifted me up and spun me around in a hug. i was seriously going to marry this asshole.
