Florence x Reader One shots

Double Date part 2

Y/N's POV

It's been two weeks since the double date, since Florence and I confessed our feelings. Two long tumultuous weeks without talking to Florence. We have never gone this long, in all our years of friendship, without speaking to each other. Even when we were in different time zones, we always found time for each other. Now I recognize that the effort we made was because of our underlying feelings for each other. But nonetheless, I miss Florence. I missed her the moment she walked out my apartment and the door shut after her. Why I didn't follow after her is a mystery to me. I think I was frozen from the shock of our conversation.

I've replayed that night over and over again in my head. Each time, I follow after her. I ask her not to leave and tell her I love her and only her. Every time I kiss her just like I've been dying to do since we met. The scenario haunts me every time I close my eyes. What I would give to go back and chase after Florence.

My phone starts ringing pulling me out of my thoughts and I instantly pick it up. The desperate part of me hopes that she's calling me. Without checking the ID, I answer, "Florence?"

The person on the other side chuckles and says, "Sorry, I'm not Florence. Still hoping she'll call?"

I let out a heavy sigh when I hear Hailee's voice. "Honestly, yeah. Can you blame me?"

"You showed her the engagement ring you bought another woman. Y/N, I don't think she's going to call you."

"But," I start to come up with a response, but Hailee shuts me up. "I just called to ask if you've seen the articles."

The silence from my end tells Hailee that I haven't been online in a while. She lets out a breath and I can see her rolling her eyes through the phone. I get on Twitter because I know I'll find whatever Hailee is talking about. Under the trending section, I see Florence's name, which I assume is what Hailee meant. I click on it to see why my former friend is trending. The first thing that I see are articles saying "Florence Pugh and Zach Braff call it quits after 3 years." I scroll through the tweeted article links and tweets from fans saying "Now's my chance" which make me giggle. Hailee hears my laugh and asks, "I assume you've found the articles."

"They broke up?" I whisper into the phone.

"They broke up." Hailee confirms to me in a matter of fact manner. I sit on my couch frozen with this information. Hailee continues saying something, summarizing the article about why they broke up. It talked about how Zach wanted to move forward in the relationship, but Florence's heart was somewhere else.

"Should I call her?" I thought out loud forgetting Hailee was on the phone. She took it as I was actually asking her that question and responded, "I mean you could. She's not gonna be calling you anytime soon. She doesn't know you're both relatively single."

Her words pulled me out of my thoughts, "Wait what do you mean relatively single?"

"Well, you and Scarlett are broken up? I think, honestly I'm not sure. You went to propose to her and then couldn't follow through with it. When she asked you what was wrong you told her you were in love with your best friend. She kind of just sat there speechless because her girlfriend of three years was in love with someone else. Then when you talked about it a couple of days later you told her you still loved her but not in the same way you loved Florence. And she told you she knew that you would never love her the way you love Florence. Then you two came to the conclusion of taking a break from your relationship, which sounds an awful lot like a break up." Hailee rambles on, recounting the events of the past week to me. It's pretty funny hearing how she's describing everything even though she's not entirely wrong. She's been by my side the entire time, even though she's halfway across the country. "Does any of that ring any bells for you?"
