Wilbur's Pov: 
I don't know what to do? I'm crying like, profusely  crying. Maybe I took it to far? But... I'm right, right? There's got to be a reason why Chad would travel that far to see her.
I hear a knock at the door. I storm over. 
"Y/n! I swear to god if that's you!" I answer the door, "... Niki! Hi!" 
I wipe my face and try smile. She looks at me very concerned. 
"Wilbur what's happened?" Niki rushes in and is already patting me on the back and giving me tissues. 
"Err, it's kinda a long story." I say but I explain to her anyway. I explain to her what happened at the library, I explain what just happened now and what Y/n said. Niki listens as I talk, like she always does 
"Wilbur... she has a point." Niki stammers. 
"Niki, please, you can't be serious." I say disappointed. 
"She gave you an explanation. And I know, I do wonder too what caused Chad to travel that far to meet someone that had literally ghosted him but... she said she didn't know either." Niki says looking at me with that same understanding eyes, "She's your girlfriend, surely you trust her enough to know she wouldn't lie about that."
I take a second the think, she thinks with me. 
Tears begin to fall again. I guess she's right. Chad did seem a little crazy, there could be many reasons to why he would do what he did, and Y/n did give me a reasonably explanation and did apologise. 
What the fuck have I done? 
"Oh Wilbur, don't cry, it's alright." Niki rushes over to hug me. 
"What have I done?" I son into her shoulder. 
"Well she couldn't have caught a bus at this time of night, you can surely go find her?" Niki suggests. 
It's half eleven she couldn't have gone far. So I rush to go  and grab my shoes. I don't bother putting on a jacket even though it is raining. 
I thank Niki and rush out the door. I run down the streets of Brighton looking for Y/n. Where the fuck is she? 
The rain soaks me in seconds and I'm shivering, but it doesn't matter I need to find Y/n. I'm still crying and if anyone else saw me I would look crazy; Running down the street, crying my eyes out in minus degree weather.
"Y/n!" I call out my voice shaking.
The moon light shines down on me. Even with all this rain it still manages to out shine everything. 
I get my phone and try calling her. It rings a couple times before disconnecting. Fuck. 
"Y/n!" I call out again but she's nowhere to be seen. 
Adrenaline rushes through my body as I get to beach. I race along the shore. The water so so calm even though it's stormy weather. The moon shines on the water almost blinding me. 
I'm running when I think I see someone. Someone at the end of pier. They have long hair that is blowing in the wind. Their jacket and scarf are laying on the ground besides them. Y/n!
"Y/n!" I shout. 
Tears stream down my face heavier now and I'm afraid she hasn't heard me from how shaky my voice his. 
"Y/n!" I shout again dropping to my knees. I sob. My jeans rip a little from the friction and my hoodie is practically pulls me down to the ground with how heavy it is. My tears block my vision and when they hit my tongue, it stings. I'm gasping for air, trying to keep myself from collapsing. 
"Wilbur?" I hear a soft voice call for me. 
"Y-Y-" I try call out but I can't. 
"Wilbur!" I figure runs towards me, wrapping their arms around me, telling me everything is going to be okay.
"Y-Y-Y/n I'm so sorry." I burst out. 
She doesn't say anything's she just grabs my face and wipes my tears with her thumbs. 
I pull her close and just hug her, hug her like I've never before. I never meant for this to happen. I never knew this was gonna happen. 
"Wilbur." Y/n says, "I'm sorry, I went too far." 
"No." I sniffle, "No, I'm sorry, I never should've believed Chad more than you." 
Through the noise of all the wind swarming around me I think I hear her sniffle, is she crying now as well? 
And that's that we sit in the cold, pouring rain, in the middle of the night, crying on the ground, together and I couldn't be happier. I never should have let her go. I'm so glad to be holding her in my arms once again. 
"I love you." I say trying to stifle a smile. 
She almost laughs, "I love you too!" She throws her arms around me almost making me stumble backwards. 
I kiss her. I kiss her on her forehead. I kiss her on her cheek. Her nose. Her lips. I kiss her because she is mine and I'll never let her go... again.
