Your P.O.V:

"If you could change the past without knowing what would happen to your future, would you do it?

I think about that question a lot.

If I could change how I said something to someone or how I treated a situation, would I have a better future or worse?

I lost the love of my life for five years because of a simple misunderstanding.

I was so upset that I choked on my words and caused myself more pain in the end.

I wondered if she still thought about that night.

How we screamed and said we hated each other.

How I just left without a word and never spoke to her again.

I wondered if she hated me.

I would of hated me.

......

I did hate me.

......

If I could of just...you know...said sorry and had her in my arms again the day after, everything would be better for me.

.....

I didn't want her to audition for X-Factor because I was to afraid to be left alone.

I was willing to destroy her dreams so I could be happy.

.....

She now lives a life that people dream about.

Being in a girl group that is known worldwide.

......

It's funny how life works though.

I ended up running into her when she was visiting Miami for her moms birthday.

I was still living down the street form her old house at the time.

I was walking down the street when I saw four girls getting out of a car.

The smallest one looked at me and her eyes widened.

I was confused at her expression until she tapped the black haired girls shoulder.

The girl turned around and I felt my heart in my throat.

Our eyes met and she shed a tear.

I quickly threw my hood up.

I turned around to walk back home, I didn't want her to see my face.

At the time I was in a abusive relationship, so I had a lot of bruises on my face.

I didn't want her to see that my life had gone down hill after I left her that fateful day.

I heard footsteps and a body slam into my back, wrapping their arms around my waist from behind.

I smelled a familiar sent and I was shocked.

She was still wearing my favorite perfume of hers after five years.

I heard sniffling and I turned around in her arms.

And we hugged.

I don't for how long.

But it felt like a life time.

Not in a bad way, but in a good way.

I was still taller than her so she had to look up to catch my eyes.

She looked sad and very angry to see the bruises on my face.

She took her fingertips and gently traced my bruises.

She asked me what happened and I told her the truth.

She was silent for a moment and took my hand, leading me inside and up to her old room.

I sat on the bed and she left for a few minutes, soon coming back with a ice pack.

She laid it on my eye and sat down.

We stayed silent for a good ten minutes till she spoke.

'Why did you leave'

She asked and I really didn't know how to answer besides telling the truth.

'I was mad'

I said.

'Why'

'Because I though you were going to leave and never come back.'

She was surprised by my answer.

'Why would you think I would leave and not take you with me?'

She asked and I went silent.

'Look at me'

She said. I didn't want to but I did.

When our eyes met and I felt like she could hear everything I was thinking.

'I waited for you to come home, Hell...I've been waiting'

She said.

To say I was confused was an understatement.

'What?'

'Goddammit Y/n, I've been waiting for you to come home to me! I want you in my arms again!'

She yelled and I looked down.

'W-Why? After that fight we had-'

She cut me off.

'Y/n if you would of let me finish my sentence that day we could of been married by now'

She said with a laugh.

'I was going to ask you to come with me'

She said and grabbed my chin, making me look at her.

'I miss you so god damn much, please come back to L.A with me'

She said and I was shocked.

Until.

She kissed me.

I felt like my life had meaning again.

That I was worth loving.

Every memory I have ever shared with her came rushing back and I was more than happy with those long lost thoughts.

When we stopped kissing, I agreed to come back with her.

And that's how I'm standing before all of you today" I say with a smile as I look onto the stadium of harmonizers.

"So, that's how the day I got back together with Lauren" I say with a laugh.

I hear sniffling and look behind me to see the four girls with tears streaming down their faces.

"God dammit Y/n, making my makeup smear" Says dinah, wiping away her tears.

"YOU'RE SO CUTE Y/N!" Yells a fan and Lauren moves the mic away from her mouth, yelling back.

"I KNOW RIGHT?!"

The stadium starts to scream and I laugh.

"UGH, Y/n! This is why I can't wear nice makeup around you!" Yells Normani as makeup artists run on stage and start to fix the girls makeup.

"Look at that" I say as I point at the girls.

"Legit princesses" I lay with a laugh.

"Shut up baby" Lauren says with a laugh and I go and sit on the ground next to her chair.

"Yes peasant, sit on the floor." Says ally and I roll my eyes.

The fans were yelling Y/s/n and I smile.

I look up and watch my beautiful girlfriend in awe.

I was finally happy again.

Praise Allysus.
