But...(Sequel to If Only) ✔

Chapter 1.

"I'm gonna miss you so much" My boyfriend, Coby, said as he hugs me tightly

"I know...I'll miss you too..." I say and he pulls back with a slight grin. He runs back in the house and comes out with a jar. The jar was full of rolled up paper and the chocolate, kisses.

"Here! If ever you miss my hugs or kisses then just take one. The hugs are the roll of paper." He says and I smile widely at him. He's the most adorable dork ever.

"Thank you." I say and kiss his cheek.

"Just try not to finish all of the kisses" he says and I smile

"I'll try..." I say and my smile soon fades

"God I'll miss you." I say and he kisses me

"I'm never gonna leave you. I'll always be right here" he says and puts a hand on my heart

"That was so cheesy" I tease

"I know." He says grinning

"Okay Love birds, Break it up." Andrew says coming between us

"BYE HOMIE" Andrew yells and gives Coby a tight hug which he gladly returns

"SEE YA HOMIE" Coby says and when they let go he pats Andrew's shoulder

"Take care of my girl." He says and Andrew salutes at him

After a few more goodbyes. We finally leave to the airport.

I should probably explain as to what's going on. You see my job is working with the police. I do my investigation and research about criminals and people's background info. Sometimes I even hack into some systems. It's all to catch the criminal and I'm not complaining cause this job pays great.

You might be wondering why is Andrew going with me and not my boyfriend. Well 1. Coby and I have the same job and he isn't done with his investigation; 2. Andrew lives in London.

Andrew got a scholarship in basketball and he's now part of a high league basketball team. He lives in London but often visits me from time to time.

During the plane ride I was laying my head on Andrew's shoulder and he was playing with my hair.

Hours later and we arrived at his friggin mansion. I've seen pictures of his house before and he gave Coby and I a house tour so I already know how it looks like. But to summarize the whole house it's basically a typical mansion. Why is it a huge ass mansion? Because his teammates live here too.

"Where are the boys?" I ask

"Well since we're on break most of them left to stay with family and friends for a while. Only 3 of us stayed here" He says with a shrug

"Plus I told them that they should probably leave because I asumme you don't wanna be surrounded by naked men and stinky clothes." He continues with a cheeky grin

"Thanks for leaving then." I say chuckling

"You're stuck with the slightly responsible ones." He says proudly

"I'm stuck with the crazy ones." I say and he sticks his tongue out at me

"So mature" i say

When we got in the house was spotless. It was amazingly clean just like how Andrew said it would be. I roamed around as Andrew yelled that he would bring my bags up to my room. I roamed around the whole house and I'm surprised I didn't get lost.

At night I Skyped with Coby and we talked all about our day.

"Heh..." He chuckles looking down

"What's wrong?" I ask

"You'll get mad..." He says and I just give him that look. The look that says 'tell me now'

"I can't concentrate...I just suddenly thought that...what if you find someone better there. What if you won't love me anymore..." He says

When I first met Coby he was this happy, fun and energetic guy. We were the partners in crime. But then one day he started pushing me away. He wouldn't talk to me that much and he'd get mad at me and try to make me hate him. One day I really did start to hate him and when he noticed that we faded apart.

Then after a while, I found him crying on the rooftop. That's when he told me about his whole messed up life. He told me why he's been acting like that. He didn't want me to get so close to him cause he was a depressed mess. A mess I was determined to fix.

Ever since then I started to slowly fix him. I started to help him. I became his rock. I'm always there by his side when he needs me but now...I can't imagine how he must feel with me being away for so long. He said he'd be fine but I knew this would happen. I told him that I'll just not go but he told me to go ahead. I knew I should've stayed...

"Do you really think that I could do that. That I could love someone other than you. You really think that's possible?" I ask him

"I mean there are so many better guys for you." He says looking down

"Hey..." I take a chocolate from the jar he gave me and give it a gentle kiss before unwrapping it and eating it

"Miss you. Love you." I say and he starts smiling again

"I love you too." He says

That night I slept with the thought that my life was perfect and couldn't get better than this.

But...

Nothing is perfect
