Want You Back (Penelope)

You're a year older than Josie and her class and you just graduated from the Salvatore School and your ex, Penelope, is about to leave to Belgium to finish her last year of school. You have something to tell her before she goes. You're also a werewolf.

I walked around the old mill trying to find Penelope. I knew she had to come to one last party. It was my last party too since I finally graduated. Funny part is, I always thought we'd be at this party together.

I spotted her saying her goodbyes to her witch friends. At least I wouldn't be here to have to adjust the the coven without Penelope Park.

I watched her go over to MG to say bye. I knew she would miss him terribly. He's always been there for her.

I watch her going back to the school and I went after her. It was now or never.

"Penelope?" I felt my throat go dry. I hadn't said her name in over two months.

She turned around and looked surprised to see me. "Y/n? What are you doing here? I thought you would have left the second you finally graduated."

"I-I couldn't leave yet." I felt my self hesitating and I didn't want that.

"Why?"

"Cause we're both leaving this place and I have something to say before we do."

Penelope sighed. "Y/n—"

"Please." I cut her off pleadingly.

Penelope took a deep breathe and nodded. We both walked over to the dock in silence.

"So I know I'm not any good with words and I've always struggled to tell you how I really feel so I wrote a song for you." I pulled out my phone. "Before I play it, I just need you to know that I'm sorry for everything."

Penelope frowned. "I know you're sorry y/nn. You said that almost every day for a month after I switched dorm rooms."

I looked at the water. She was right. I couldn't stop apologizing to her after she moved out of our room. It was so hard to sleep alone again.

"I'll still listen to the song though. You need closure to move on then, so be it." She shrugged.

I nodded and played the song off my phone. I watched her as she just kind got lost in the music.

Can't help but wondering if this
Is the last time that I'll see your face
Is it tears or just the pouring rain?
Wish I could say something
Something that doesn't sound insane
But lately I don't trust my brain
You tell me I won't ever change
So I just say nothing
No matter where I go, I'm always gonna want you back
No matter how long you're gone, I'm always gonna want you back
I know you know I will never get over you
No matter where I go, I'm always gonna want you back
Want you back
I remember the freckles on your back
And the way that I used to make you laugh
'Cause you know every morning I wake up
Yeah I still reach for you
I remember the roses on your shirt
When you told me this would never work
You know even when I say I've moved on
Yeah I still dream for you
No matter where I go, I'm always gonna want you back
No matter how long you're gone, I'm always gonna want you back
I know you know I will never get over you
No matter where I go, I'm always gonna want you back
Want you back
You know even when I say I moved on
You know even though I know that you're gone
All I think about is where I went wrong
You know even when I say I moved on
You know even though I know that you're gone
All I think about is where I went wrong
Yeah I still dream for you
No matter where I go, I'm always gonna want you back
No matter where I go, I'm always gonna want you back
I'm always gonna want you back
No matter how long you're gone, I'm always gonna want you back
I know you know I will never get over you
No matter where I go, I'm always gonna want you back
Want you back

Penelope has tears in her eyes. I wasn't expecting her to cry. Did I just make everything worst?

"Did you have to do this right before I left?" She asked as she wiped her tears.

"It was now or I was never going to do it. I wasn't going to live with that regret." I shook my head gently. "Look, I know my anger issues got the better of me and I messed up everything. I'm not asking you for a second chance because I know I don't deserve it. I just had to tell you how I felt."

Penelope threw herself into my arms and hugged me tightly. "I've seen how much you've worked on controlling your anger. I heard you tell Emma that you're trying to be the person I deserve."

I nodded, tears running down my face, hugging her back as if my life depended on it. I never thought I get to hug her again.

"I only broke up with you so you never had to feel guilty if you accidentally hurt me."

I frowned. She was scared I would hurt her. I really was out of control for her to think that. I could never do that to her.

"I'm so so sorry Penny. I never meant to make you feel like you were in danger."

Penelope shook her head wiping my tears away. "I never felt in danger. You always yelled at me to stay away cause you didn't want to hurt me. I couldn't date you and stay away from you, y/nn."

"You never stopped loving me?" I asked stunned.

"Of course I didn't. You just had things to figure out that you wouldn't let me help with. So, I gave you the space you needed to do it. I've been praying you'd say something to me. Anything at all before I left." Tears ran down her face and she frowned. "Now I have to go."

She kissed me hard with all the love she had to give. "I love you y/n." She said against my lips then pulled away. She turned around and walked away from me.

I ran after her and pulled her back kissing her with all the love I had to give. We pulled away breathlessly. "You can't just say you love me and walk away."

"I can't stay y/nn. You graduated and my parents are waiting for me." She looked so sad.

"Then I'll go with you!" She gave me a small smile even when her eyes were full of tears. "It doesn't matter where I am as long as I'm with you."

"You really mean that?" She gave me her turtle smile and I almost exploded. It's been months since I had last seen that perfect smile.

"I'll follow you until the end of the world baby."

Penelope smiled widely pulling me in for a kiss.
