Malia's Pov

While I felt bad after my talk with Elena, I also felt a little relieved.

Not only because I finally realized my feelings, but because even after rejecting her, we can still remain friends.

I'm glad. I'm really, really, glad.

Elena is an amazing person and even though the feelings she felt for me couldn't be returned, I'm happy we can at least remain friends.

I hope one day she'll be able to move on and find a girl that'll feel the same way.

Now, it's time for me to find Wyatt and tell him everything.

And hopefully...we can start over.

After I left the nurses office I made my way outside of the school and began walking.

However, I stopped dead in my tracks when I spotted Wyatt.

He was leaning against the wall, his arms crossed, his eyes were closed as his chest moved up and down.

I pressed my lips into a thin line, clearly hesitant to walk to him, before shaking my head.

I came out here for a reason. I was looking for him for a reason.

I can't back down now.

I walked towards him, stopping so that I stood a few feet in front of him.

"Wyatt" I softly called out to him.

Wyatt's eyes snapped open and when he looked at me his eyes widened in surprise.

"Malia" Wyatt managed to say.

My heart fluttered but I did my best to calm myself down.

"What are you doing here? Shouldn't you be resting?" Wyatt asked in worry.

"I only passed out, I didn't bang my head against the wall" I snorted in slight amusement.

"Either way, you should be resting until you feel better" Wyatt sternly said.

"Relax, I only had a headache when I woke up but I feel better. And I drank some water when I felt dehydrated" I explained.

Wyatt, knowing I wasn't going to go back and rest, sighed in defeat and nodded his head.

He looked around, seemingly expecting someone else to be here, before turning back to me.

"Where's Elena? Wasn't she with you?" Wyatt asked.

"She was. She was there when I woke up and gave me water" I said.

"Why isn't she here? You two are always together, it seems" Wyatt asked.

I sighed and rubbed the back of my neck.

"Elena and I talked about...everything, about the two of us, and I told her that while she's an amazing girl I can't bring myself to like her the way she likes me" I explained.

I looked at Wyatt, hoping he would quickly catch onto what I was trying to tell him.

However, Wyatt just looked confused, which made me want to groan.

Is he really that oblivious?

"Because I still have feelings for the idiot standing in front of me" I added, sighing as I rolled my eyes.

Finally, thank god, he understood what I was saying because his eyes widened in realization.

The realization soon turned into relief and happiness, something I haven't seen after we broke up.

A small smile appeared on his face before he sighed, gently running a hand through his hair.

"I believe it's time you and I talk" Wyatt said.

Yeah...we really do need to talk...

"Agreed. But first..." I trailed off.

Wyatt furrowed his eyebrows in confusion but I raised my hand and smacked him.

I let out a small breath while Wyatt sighed, rubbing his cheek that I slapped.

I cleared my throat, rubbed my arm, and blushed slightly.

"I'm sorry, but I wanted to do that after everything that happened between us" I softly said.

"Don't apologize, I deserve it after all. Honestly, everyone has been slapping me" Wyatt chuckled.

"Who else has slapped you besides Elena and I?" I asked, confused.

"Willa" Wyatt sighed.

My eyes widened in shock when he said that.

Willa really slapped her own brother...why...?

"I know that look on your face. The reason she slapped me was because she was angry at me for saying all those mean things to you the day we broke up" Wyatt explained.

I pressed my lips into a thin line and nodded.

Understandable.

Willa and I are best friends and she has always threatened Wyatt to never break my heart.

Looks like she snapped after what Wyatt had done and said.

"Look, Malia, can we go somewhere private so we can talk" Wyatt softly said.

I pressed my lips into a thin line and nodded my head in agreement.

Wyatt smiled slightly and gestured for me to follow him, which I reluctantly did.

Welp...here goes nothing, I guess.

At The Woods

It's no surprise that Wyatt took me to our secret spot so that we could talk.

We haven't come here ever since we broke up, which is understandable, but still.

We're not really back together, at least not yet, we're just here to talk about everything and hopefully sort things out.

When we arrived we stood a few feet away from each other.

I was leaning against a tree, my arms crossed over my chest.

Wyatt stood a few feet away from me, his hands stuffed into his pocket.

It was...awkward, to say the least.

Neither of us really knew what to say. We didn't know how to start this off.

I guess after we broke up we sort of kept a distance from each other.

Well, it was more of me keeping a distance from Wyatt, while said boy was trying to talk to me from time to time.

Either way, there was still awkward tension between the two of us.

"So...how have you been so far?" Wyatt asked.

Really...?

He's really going to ask me that out of every other question he could ask me.

"I'm fine. I guess" I shrugged.

Wyatt nodded before running a hand through his hair.

"I...I don't really know what to say, but I'll start off by saying I'm sorry" Wyatt sighed.

I narrowed my eyes at him and pushed myself off the tree.

"Sorry for what? Not trusting me when I tried telling you that A-lan and I are nothing more than friends? Or sorry for saying I would dump you and move onto A-lan because I'm desperate for love?" I asked, clearly angry.

Memories of Wyatt saying all those hurtful things to me came back, which brought back my anger.

"I'm sorry for everything. I should've trusted you, I should've believed you and more importantly I should've never said you were desperate for love. I should've known you would never leave me for anyone" Wyatt explained.

I frowned and shook my head at him.

"You hurt me. You really hurt me. I tried to tell you what really happened that day you saw me and A-lan in the gym but you jumped to conclusions" I softly said.

My eyes watered and I looked down at my hands.

Wyatt took a few steps forward, placing his fingers under my chin, gently lifting my head up.

"I'm so sorry, Malia. I should've listened to you, I should've heard your side of the story to understand what really happened. But, instead, my jealousy and anger got the best of me and I ended up jumping to conclusions. And because of my stupidity, I not only hurt you, but I lost you" Wyatt softly explained.

My lips trembled slightly and I felt a tear escape my eye, falling down my cheek.

Wyatt frowned and gently cupped my cheek, using his finger to gently wipe away the tear from my face.

I felt Wyatt caress my cheek, something he had always done, and felt myself leaning into his touch.

God...I really did miss that...

"Please forgive me, Malia. Please" Wyatt softly begged.

I snapped myself out of it and gently pushed him away from me.

Wyatt frowned, clearly upset with what I did, and just sighed.

I can't think properly if he's touching me like that. I want to be able to talk properly without messing up my words. 

"I-I don't know, Wyatt. You knew I was heartbroken before by Ben and promised to never hurt me like you did. But...you broke that promise and look at what happened" I explained.

I sighed and ran my hand through my hair.

"I don't know if I can trust you not to make the same mistake again" I softly muttered.

While I chose Wyatt over Elena...I still have doubts, which in all fairness, is understandable.

I don't want to be vulnerable again and let myself get heartbroken again.

I refuse to get heartbroken a third time, not when my daughter needs me, I refuse to let myself be brought down by a boy.

Wyatt shook his head rapidly, I was scared he broke his neck, and took a few steps towards me.

"I would never hurt you, not again. I hurt you once and because of that I lost you. I would never make the same mistake again" Wyatt said.

He gently placed his hand on my shoulder, causing me to look at him.

"Malia, you're my anchor, my life. I can't possibly see myself with anyone else that isn't you, it's impossible. I love you and you only. I was an asshole, that's the truth, but I want to be better. I promise that this time will be different. Please, give me another chance to make this right" Wyatt begged.

He spoke nothing but the truth.

The only thing I could hear as he spoke was genuine. Everything he said sounded genuine.

But...I'm stubborn and I...I still don't know.

Wyatt saw the look on my face and sighed, removing his hand from my shoulder. 

When I still didn't say anything, he slowly began to sing.

https://youtu.be/sePmYC0D3Os

(Only Wyatt & Malia are singing, there's no other couple with them)

(Wyatt)
You're my someone who is lovely
You are wonderful and true

I bit the inside of my cheek, but when I saw Wyatt smile encouragingly at me, I slowly sang myself.

(Me)
You're the boy who makes me smile
Even when I'm feeling blue

Wyatt nodded, looking content when he heard my voice, as if he hadn't heard me sing in a while.

Which, well, is true I suppose.

He then held his hands out, smiling softly, waiting patiently for me.

I narrowed my eyes at him before looking down at his hands, debating if I should place mine into them.

I made a decision as I looked back up at Wyatt, I sighed before placing my hands into his.

(Both)
I'm so lucky that I found you
Most definitely

(Wyatt)
Oh, yeah

(Malia)
Not a phony, or a fake
Sweeter than a chocolate shake

Wyatt chuckled softly before gently pulling me closer to his side.

When we were close, we leaned in, letting our foreheads touch as we stared into each others eyes.

(Both)
My meant to be
When It's meant to be
You go kinda crazy
Meant to be
You forget your own name

When It's meant to be
It's destiny calling
And nothing ever will be the same

Wyatt slowly turned me around, pulling me closer to him, so that my back was leaning against his chest.

He wrapped his arms around my waist, resting his chin on my shoulder.

I let a small smile appear on my face as I sighed in content, resting my hands on top of his.

(Wyatt)
Our eyes meet
It's so sweet
And I couldn't ask for more

(Malia)
If this is real
The way I feel
Is something I never felt before

I closed my eyes, smiling more as Wyatt kissed my cheek, I missed the warmth of his lips.

(Both)
When it's meant to be
The stars seem to glisten
Meant to be
The clouds depart
When it's meant to be
That's destiny calling
And if you listen you'll find your heart

When we were done singing I slowly turned myself around so that I could face him.

I wrapped my arms around his neck while he wrapped his around my waist, holding me close to him.

We stared at each other, leaning forward, letting our foreheads touch.

"I hate myself for not listening to you, for not trusting you, I was a complete asshole and I lost you because of that. But, this time, I want us to try again. I want to give us another shot because I can't bear not having you by my side. Without you, I feel like nothing, absolutely nothing" Wyatt explained.

My eyes began watering but the tears didn't fall, not yet.

"Malia Rose, please take me back. Please be mine again. I promise that this time, I won't screw up. Please, baby" Wyatt softly begged.

That broke me...that did it for me...

I couldn't take it anymore.

I let the tears stream down my face and let a loud sob escape my lips.

I cupped the sides of Wyatt's face and pulled him into a desperate and longing kiss.

Wyatt's eyes widened in surprise, but he didn't hesitate to kiss me back, pouring his heart and soul into this kiss.

God, when was the last time we kissed...?

We kissed for what felt like hours, when in reality it was a minute, before pulling away so we could breath.

"Am I yours again?" Wyatt asked, his voice full of hope.

"If you hurt me again..." I trailed off.

"Never. I would never make the same mistake twice. I promise that this time I'll be better" Wyatt sternly said.

That along cause me to smile softly before nodding my head.

"Then, yes, you're mine again. The same way that I'm yours again" I whispered softly.

My heart fluttered at the way his eyes widened, the way a relieved and excited smile appeared on his face.

He didn't waste anymore time and placed his lips back onto mine, causing me to sigh in content as I kissed him back.

Finally...

Two broken hearts have finally been repaired and are back. 

This time, it's for good.

-------------------------------------------------------
