pt. 2 of “good ones go”
“that’s when you start to laugh. saying i just want what i can’t have”
two months have come and gone, and neither of you can get yourselves away from each others everything.
walker, pretty much always alone in his trailer sat glum as usual, scrolling through your reposts hunting like a madman for any sliver of hope.
a few scrolls back, he was on a high because you reposted a slideshow captioned “propaganda i’ll always fall for” and the pictures were boys with dirty blond hair, just like his infront of nature.
your last date before he did it was a hike together and you swam in the lake at the end. there was nothing that walker missed more in this universe than you.
most people after a few months start moving on after a breakup. most people take a step back, start looking for new people to connect with. and he tried, one girl. the talking stage didn’t even last a full week, because in everything she did, he kept looking for morsels of you.
all walker wants is what he can’t have. you
he still watched every tiktok you posted, every story you shared, every time your friends posted you he’d check extra close to see if you were with anyone. and every time he saw nothing, it was a gentle reminder in his determined mind that he needed you back in his life. he was serious this time.
he’s spent countless hours bugging tanner, leena, leah and sometimes even lin, trying to figure out what’s the best way to text and try to restart without basically saying “let’s run it back” in a nicer way. or if it would be appropriate to send a video about couples that get back together being stronger than ever.
he just wanted his baby.
recent developments in his longing for you include:
- finally changing his wallpaper ; to a photo of you in his bed, cuddling a giant snoopy plushy he got you because you were bored and he was practicing lines
- changing his ps5 wallpaper to the prom photo of you and the darry ring
- making a fake account to follow you and like everything
- added your cousin on snapchat hoping to see you again there
- only going to the mcdonald’s you went to together hoping to run into you
- formed three different paragraphs just apologizing over text and deleting all after coming to the conclusion you’d just read them and block him.
on a daily basis, someone make fun of his desperation. but you started realizing, and felt a tug in your lonely heart to listen to his subtle calls for you.
you first realised walker wanted to apologize an try again, when you saw a clip of him in an interview wearing your t-shirt.
not his that you stole, and gave back. or that you got for him a long time ago. no. it was literally your oversized gravity falls tshirt, that kinda always fit him a little better in the video. you’d been looking for it for a while, coming to the conclusion you’d left it on vacation a while back.
but no there is was. you wondered if he still smelled your kayali perfume on it. probably not.
then the signs started getting a bit more obvious. the final nail in the couple coffin was when you took a your cousin’s phone and saw on her instagram, was a line up of notifications all from walker.scobell, liking all the stories you were in.
he probably forgot those are visible.
that night, you looked at the notes app paragraph you’ve had marinating since the breakup. you were going to send it like the day after. but that was pathetic. then the week after but he had filming and you didn’t want to distract walker considering that’s one of the reasons you broke up in the first place. and then after a month you decided to never send it cause it’s a waste of time at that point.
you wanted to. you really wanted to.
but in the back of your mind, you felt that voice saying that no matter what, he’s going to end up right where you started. busy and exhausted. relationships don’t work when you’re exhausted. you wanted something, someone, you knew you couldn’t have.
you stared at the ring on your finger. still unable to take it off even for a shower. and then back at the paragraph that you just couldn’t send, then back at your photo wall in the shape of a heart with pictures of you and walker.
your brain kept telling you, maybe one shot wouldn’t hurt. but you knew that you have to for him space. and that’s what he wanted. no matter how much you both wanted just to reverse time and be in each others arms again.
but that couldn’t happen. for now, you both settled with the memories you held and the undying teenage love you had the privilege of sharing with each other.
you finally shut off your phone. it was 2:23 am. but you felt the vibration under your pillow and checked your phone, incase it was one of your girls deciding now was the perfect time to spill some tea.
when you finally read the notification. you froze in place. were your brains intertwined or something?
“walker scobell liked your repost”
and when you checked the video, it was of a dark beach background, the chorus of cece’s interlude by drake playing with the lyrics in the background.
you tried not to think too much into it. normal thing and likely just an accident.
his note being the same part of the song the next day. not so much.
