"What are you doing here?"
Louis says quietly

"I came to visit my grandmother but, I saw the cemetery so I just.. anyways, what are 𝒚𝒐𝒖 doing here?" I ask him.

"I don't know, I usually come here whenever i'm thinking" He says not looking at me.

"Yeah, I remember you told me that the first time you brought me here." I chuckle.

"Yeah.." He sits down next to me.
"So. How have you been."

"Normal I guess." I shrug.
"How are you and.. Syd."

"We broke up actually so.."
Louis says looking down.

"I'm sorry."

"It's not.." He stops himself. And I know exactly what he was gonna say; that it wasn't my fault.. but i know it was. "Well, it happens." He whispers.

"How are you and the guy from instagram."
Louis says awkwardly.

"Jaeden?! No, no, Jaeden and I are just friends, he has a girlfriend. Plus I haven't really been able to move on.", we're both looking in different directions, too scared to make eye contact.

"Oh, got it." He says taking a deep breath.

"What's that in your hand?" I say seeing a folded piece of paper in his hand.

"Nothing, just a note. It's not important.

"Can I read it?" I ask and he hesitates.
"It's not important, right?" I say quietly.

"It is actually.. since I wrote it for you."
He says handing it to me.

"Oh- I don't know what to say.." I open it slowly and he just looks down.

I take a deep breath and start to read.

I finish reading and look up at Louis with tears flooding down my cheeks.

"I meant everything I wrote in that letter Y/N. I truly do love you." He says a tear running down his cheek.
I wipe it away and I hug him. He holds me tight and I realize how much i missed this. How much I missed us.

"I forgive you." I whisper in his ear and he holds me tighter. And I want to stay in this moment forever, under 𝐨𝐮𝐫 blossom tree, being held by the boy I love most. I'm truly happy again. It's bittersweet to think about the damage that we've done, and everything we've broken, all the trouble that we made. And I know if I go down I'll be doing it with him. He was and always will be my favorite crime.
